Comment: WOW!!!! What an amazing package! Thank you so much for the awesome items. I just love everything, and that Moomin jacket fits my son just perfect! Thank you so much for making my day!

Comment: thank you for all the things, i love the jeans notepad. Sorry for forgetting to rate before:))

Comment: Thank you! I got your package toaday! I hope that you son is feeling better!

Comment: Wow! Thanks for sending not one but TWO amazing swap packages. I loved everything. Just my style. Favourites have to be the skull goodies, corsage and hair adornment : ) Those address labels will come in very handy indeed for when I'm swapping. I'd love to do another handmade pin-up glamour swap with you again sometime : )

Comment: Dear Elina, thank you so much for the generous package with greetingcards and chocolate. Fazer belongs to my favourite chololates - I know it from several trips to Denmark. Unfortunately we don't get it here in Germany - so it was really a great joy for me to receive Fazer chocolate bars from you. Thanks a lot and my best wishes to Finland! Iris

Comment: Thank you! :) The milk & white chocolate was yummy! I'm trying to save the other one, but it'll probably be gone by tonight. <3

Comment: Thank you so much for this wonderful package ! The Moomin cups are adorable and I just love the extras :) I'd love to do another private swap with you.

Comment: thanks for the fun package. i love the address labels and fishnets. thanks again.

Comment: Wow, what a great pakage! Thank you for ALL the Moomin cards, stickers, AND candy! What a nice surprise. Lovely Stenvall cards also. Kaylee loved the matchbox with the HK goodies. If you ever want to trade again just let me know!

Comment: Oh goodness, I could not BELIEVE it when I opened this package! You are such a generous, kind-hearted person! I love that you included a pronunciation guide with the words, very helpful, not to mention all the amazing extras. I love learning about different places, so this is truly fantastic. The funny part is that the big master's paper that I just finished writing was about the first opera by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, so that made this package doubly cool! I just can't thank you enough, this package was really special. :D

 

Comment: hi Elina! i got my package today and I LOOOOOVED it. It was like traveling to another place without even leaving the house :). thank you - it made my day.

Comment: thanks for the great postcard! i love the shot.

Comment: wonderful assortment of goodies :) Thanks much!

Comment: First of all, thank you for the floral macro photos, they are really pretty! I love the withered flower. But a really special thanks for your photo of Howth! Two years ago, I spent my last day of my Holidays in Howth. Me and my family had still a lot of time before our ferry would leave, so we decided to take a short trip to Howth.

Comment: Thank you for the great package - I love the lesson, thank you for the cards (beautiful!), the sweets (girls were thrilled!), the tea (just had one)!

Comment: I received the envelope this morning, wow , what a lot of useful things from my wish list, and my interests, i loved the vintage newspaper, i can't read Finnish but love the pictorial adverts in these old papers, the chocolate is certainly an acquired taste, strangely, I liked it. we don't have anything like that in the uk., thank you for a really great swap.

Comment: This was such an exciting swap to open! All the wonderful vintage details and colours...and that was just the 'extras', not even the stamps themselves. My daughter will absolutely love the Princess cards - very thoughtful - and I am a huge fan of the Victorian-style 'scrap' and stickers, particularly angel and animal themes. Loved the icons, loved the hawks! I happen to be born in the Year of the Rooster, so to spot the rooster stamps on top of the pile was an extra treat. As for the rest of the stamps, I'd swear Elina hand-selected them to choose nature themes just for me! I love them, and really appreciate her having taken the time to put this beautiful little package together. Hugs and hearts, Judith

Comment: Loved this pkg. It is fantastic!! Thanks for all the personal touches, perfect!

The button fairy was just beautiful (in fact, I used the exact same image when I made mine!), the little magnolia notes are something I had never seen before! The cat pin is also amazing, and the pink envies and the vintage card is also much appreciated! I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into my package and I just love each and every item.

Comment: It arrived! Thanks for the very cute matchbox. It was a bit squished and the rock had come off, but I don't know how you could have avoided that other than by shipping it inside another box.

Comment: Thank-you the clips are adorable!

Comment: YES!!!! Best. Postcard. Ever. :D

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful card & for explaining the objects on the card!:) The stamp is cool, Finland has creative stamps ^^

Comment: Oh WOW! this has to be my favorite swap package I've received on swap-bot. You had no way of knowing, but we LOVE the moomins and have all the books! You can't really get the extra moomin things here in the States though, and we were so excited! All the other extras you sent were fantastic: the linens, the stationery set, the chocolate bar (I am adventurous and can't wait to try it--I've tasted that very salty licorice and really enjoyed it), postcards, stickers...and of course the adorable owl matchbox and owl extras! I simply can't tell you enough what a wonderful swapper you are. You made my week.

Comment: thank you

Comment: Thank you so much for the exotic PC of Lapland/Finland. I can't imagine a world much more different to mine. While every physical task we do here makes us swelter and sweat, you probably forget what it's like to wear shorts and a T-shirt. :)

Comment: Thank You for the lovely package! As I said to you in the email..this is the reason that I love Swap Bot! A thoughtful and interesting gift from a new friend! Thank You! carrie

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard and the congratulations. :-) I love the stamp, very glittery.
