Comment: Finally it's arrived! Yay, I looove your soap <3 Squirrels! And thanks for the Lush product, I'm a Lush addict.

Comment: I'm so sorry for taking so long to rate. This was an amazing package! The birds took a while to warm up to the toy but they've accepted it now - one in particular LOVES it! The cat toys were a hit and the treats have been munched a little bit (we have a couple active bags at a time.) Thank you very much!

Comment: Hey Holly, I got your beautiful pocket letter in the mail today. Thank you! I love every inch of it! Can't believe this is your first. It is so detailed and you were so generous with the goodies! I didn't realize it was coming all the way from Ontario! I had so much fun unpacking every pocket! Love the tiny red stocking, ribbon, teas, snowman, stickers, washi, adorable tags...loved the owl card and the little green pocket with the chocolate surprise inside. It's all very unique and so special. Loved your paper choices. I enjoyed reading your interesting letter. Thank you for sharing your family Christmas traditions! Wishing you a happy and healthy 2016!

Comment: Love the card, love the cat Washi tape, love the stamp! Such fun mail, thank you so much!

Comment: yum! a mix of healthy & sweet!

Comment: Thank you so much for the pretty Christmas card! I will be saving the stickers you added to the envelope too :)

Comment: A great swap, Holly! I love the owl Christmas card and the fun surprises inside, especially the little owl notecard. I guess I love owls! Thank you so much!

Comment: Lovely tree you've got, it's a bit like mine: totally uncoordinated but very sweet

Comment: Thanks for your email!! I love your christmas tree and the owl ornament!! The owl is my favorite animal!! I hopw you and your partner have a lovely christmas Kind regards from Chile

Comment: Dear Holly, thank you so much for the lovely presents for my kitties, and for the cutest card and cat washi tapes. The presents were beautifully wrapped. And can you believe I left my room for 2 minutes and when I came back....my cat (William) had opened one of the presents! Haha, the one with the catnip toy....he couldn't resist it. It was so funny when I found him in my room, looking all guilty, but I get it, who would want to wait until Christmas? And btw they loved the toys, so I'm keeping the other two for Christmas day, but thank you so much for the lovely words on the card and the thoughtful presents. Will come back after Christmas to tell you about the other presents. Thank you dear! Update: Thank you so much for the amazing healthy treats for my cats, they already tried one and loved it. Looking forward to try the other one as well. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the adorable little christmas card.

Comment: Thank you so much for your wonderful Christmas Card, it is so cute. Thank you also for your sweet note and Merry Christmas to you and I love so much the kitty on the card.

Comment: Thanks for the card!! One of my friends has a Restaurant on St. Paul St. but I will have to check out RiseAbove! It looks good. Niagara-on-the-Lake was a great place to grow up. It has changed a lot now. Maybe we know each other- but you are probably a lot younger than me. Is your name Holly because you were born in Dec? I briefly thought about naming my daughter Holly Noelle because she was born on Dec 25 but I already had the name Marissa picked out! Take care and Merry Christmas!!!!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful winter bucket list! I can't wait to start checking things off my list, starting with that hot apple cider. :)

Comment: Thanks so much for this nice swap! Kami and Baghira already opened half of the package as they smelled the catnip toy and really wanted to have it :-P

Comment: Thanks for the Xmas package. We're saving it until Xmas day but opened the card. The postcards were a lovely extra, thanks.

Comment: Hi Holly! Thank you so much for the lovely tea folder with such care and detail to my favorite colors (green!), animals (cats and birds!) and tea (minty!). I absolutely love your tea folder and am still admiring it after enjoying the delicious Refresh tea. Thank you, it's one of my favorites! Hope you're having a great Fall!

Comment: Thank you for your lovely letter & tea! Happy Fall!

Comment: Thank you so much!... for the wonderful letter and teas that I can't wait to try! It was so nice to read about your tea choices and get to know you a little. I love the owl little notecard, too. ♥ ~ Cari

Comment: It was nice to swap with you, Holly; I am fond of the poem you chose from the many that Maya Angelou write. I always have a terribly hard time selecting just one poem as I like nearly all so much, with the exception of E. A. Poe who's never been a writer I like. Just too odd and "obsessed" I think. But then, with his childhood, he may have been severely damaged and shaped by all of its pieces. Hope you are enjoying fall weather and trees full of gorgeous leaves! I'm envious--here in Houston we are still in the humid 90's with everything a weary shade of green. I know that sounds odd, but leaves are so lush and glowing in early June and by late August take on a dull, thirsty, "weary" look as if the heat has worn them out as well as the people! :-)

Comment: Thank you for the super cute card and extras. I loved what you wrote. I liked how it was personal and close to your heart. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a fun and safe Halloween. 🎃👻

Comment: Holly, Thank you so much for you wonderful letter and for sending the pukka teas. I can't wait to try one this evening after work. Sounds just perfect. I think your art studio idea is awesome and hope you get it going very soon. Thank you, darla

Comment: Love all the great vintage cutouts!! Boy do I have plans for them! Will try the hibiscus tea when it gets a little cooler here! Thank you so much, Holly, for the wonderful swap!!

Comment: Thanks for sending your answers! :)

Comment: Thank you very much!

Comment: Your journal reached me today...it´s so wonderful! Thank you so much for the teabags and the pen! This package really made my day, and you´ll get my reply very, very soon! :)

Comment: Oh my, I just loved how you put this together. What a wonderful swap! I am writing a return letter this weekend!

Comment: Wow, what an amazing swap! As soon as I saw the beautifully decorated envelope it put an instant smile on my face…I love rainbow colours ☺ Love the Canadian stamps, too! I truly love everything you picked for me, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. The washi tape samples rock, the notecard is super cute, the scrapbooking items are lovely (love the blue + yellow!) the narwhal and polar bear postcards are awesome, and the bird ATC is so unusual + quirky! This was a truly wonderful swap, thank you so much Holly! :) x

Comment: Yay!! I got your card today! Thank you so much. I love the card and I'm very impressed. Thank you for resending. :)

Comment: Enjoyed your answers so much. Particularly the childhood memory which is always interesting to find out what kids are you learning to read or what their parents have learned to read. So thrilled that you enjoy sharing this interest with your mother. I know I have my mom to think for my great love of books. She was an avid reader of mostly fiction and westerns and read everything that came out at the bookstores, so it seems she never really got into romances except for awhile when she got hooked on the Harlequin ones, then I guess they just got to be so so and she gave them up for better things. I too enjoy those Somerset publications. Thanks for all the thought you put into your answers.

Comment: I really enjoyed reading your answers to the book related questions! I have already looked up some of your recommendations to see if they offer the ebook version at my library :)

Comment: Thank you for the nice orange envelope, and also for the cards inside!

Comment: Hi Holly, thanks for another lovely envelope with nice teas to try and a postcard. I'll be writing to you soon.

Comment: Holly --thanks for the teas! I have never had either and did not know Red Velvet even existed. I plan to try it out tonight! Also, I love your handwriting. Thanks again!

Comment: I love the African Grey Crowned Crane PC and the details! :D Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely notecard & tea. I used to love doing linocut. I love the bold imagery. Thank you for kindly reading my poem.

Comment: Thank you Holly for the cute kitty postcard! And what a coincidence, I send a card from exactly the same postcard set to my partner (^_^) It's such a cute postcard set and with such familiar cat situations. Thanks for choosing this card for me <3

Comment: Hi Holly, Your card is awesome - you must have been heartbroken when he moved away. I'd love a cat like that - even the long hair wouldn't be so bad. We are allergic to long cat hair unfortunately. Chris crispycritter
