Comment: You know, I've never played A Link to the Past. I need to! I love watching speedruns of it~ ✨ I'm terrible at speedrunning strategies, though. I tried for ages to get some to work in BotW but I just ended up blowing myself up a lot, haha! 💜 Thank you for the super cool chunk!

Comment: Thanks for the chunk! I would LOVE to go to a mermaid museum!

Comment: Thank you for the cute UFO/alien decorated envelope! I enjoyed reading your letter a lot (and love the alien guys attached to it!) I hope you have/had fun at the mermaid museum, sounds like a cool place. Also cool you are close to John's Hopkins - hope you get to participate in a research study someday! I've been keeping up with the research/advances in psychedelic medicine as I have vested personal interest due to my own MH issues (have been undergoing K therapy and have had to keep up with the ever-changing regulations regarding that as its been the only effective tx for me.) Also so fascinated by the owl/deer alien connection so I love that you included that; will have to read that study you mentioned! Did you ever see that cheesy alien movie the 4th kind? It's not an owl!!! Haha :P Anyway I'll wrap this long comment up; thank you again for the swap!

Comment: Thank you for sharing the bugs, dear sanderling friend. You're right, and my beak is totally wrong for sand digging. I think I will share them with my cat, whose beak is totally wrong for drinking out of my water glass, but she does it anyway.

Comment: Thanks for the cool Giant cardboard. It will definitely be added to my postcard wall at school!

Comment: I love the cute little doodles and the seagulls, thank you! Especially the seaweed and fish!

Comment: Wow - that’s a HUGE playing card! Super cool! Thanks for the fun altered card and I loved the whipstitching that you used around it. See you in the swaps again soon! 😀

Comment: Thanks for the nice Chunk! I became the insectambassador when I realized how important insects are to all kinds of ecosystems. Without insects we'd have no birds. Insects are in dire need of interest and conservation! I like to help in any way I can. :)

Comment: Love the fun chunk and your message to the meows. They had a rough 4th, but are almost back to status quo. Hoping the neighbors didn't hold back anything for the weekend. 🎆 I'd love to see a tintype made into a PC! Keep me posted. 💌

Comment: Thank you so much for hosting and making me such a beautiful card!!

Comment: Thank you for the nice chunk.

Comment: Thanks so much for sharing! I loved your set up and how you try to incorporate as much from your own garden as possible!

Comment: Your postcard are beautiful! Glad your reps are on board with LGBTQ protections! Thanks!

Comment: Thanks for this swap! I'll pass the FBs on.

Comment: I love this card - it looks so familiar, but I can't place the illustration. No, I'm not a professor, but my dad was. I work as an accounting specialist at Kent State, where I also got my two degrees. I have felt like that numerous times in my life - that it would be great to just keep on going to school! Thanks again for the cool card!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely chunk. Recovery is coming along quite well, thank you. I started out as a kid listening to shortwave radio. When I discovered the Ham radio bands I was fascinated with the conversations of people talking all over the world. A retired neighbor took me under his wing and I got my first license when I was 16.

Comment: That is so COOL! I would love to see a GDQ event live! I've only been really watching them since SGDQ in 2020, but they're my happy place when I'm having anxious thoughts, you know? 💜 I really need to sit down and watch more LTTP stuff. My favorite is Majora's, so that's usually my go-to~ ⭐ Thank you for this really cool chunk, by the way! I absolutely love the colors~

Comment: Organic Chemistry! Ugh. Sounds rough!! Lol. My daughter graduates next spring as a Chemical Engineer! Proud mom here!! TY for the chunk friend!!

Comment: Thanks for the chunk! Looks yummy!

Comment: Thanks! I'm fairly certain this is from an Aldi meal!! 😉

Comment: Thanks, Jessica! This was a fun swap! I loved the card from the cake mix and knowing that you used it to make a coconut cake for your daughter's birthday! Sounds yummy! I just recently learned about capybara's from my granddaughter. She loves them, too.

Comment: Thanks for the resend! Congratulations on the degree!

Comment: I love the dough boy!! C'mon spring!!! I am looking forward to warmer weather. Happy new year friend!!! ❤️💚💛

Comment: Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Comment: Def a cheesy card 🤣 thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the chunk! One of my recent thrift scores was a Portland Trail Blazers commemorative postcard book. It has postcards with images from the 1970s to the 2010s. My favorite Cryptid is bigfoot because he is my PNW neighbor. I'm not sure if aliens are cryptids. I'll have to ponder that for a bit.

Comment: Thank you for the interesting card .And your note. October was ok decorations were fun to see and most of the weather was great. Didn't really cool down to freezing till almost the end of the month. I don't really do halloween anymore as the kids in the trailer park don't go around this neighborhood but to the different Trunk or Treats around town. 2 Big ones downtown and almost every church around town. Only one I had was great-granddaughter who was dressed as Pikachu and wanted to come show me.

Comment: Thank you for sending me your last doodle pc!

Comment: Thank you for the cool PC and well wishes.

Comment: Thank you for the interesting chunk. I haven't been doing any crochet this summer. Been having trouble with my left hand. The thumb and first 2 fingers will lock up where I can't move them to hold the yarn so I have been doing other things that don't aggravate my hand.

Comment: Hi Jessica! I love this chunk! What is it from? Yep, I've made several zines this year and participated in Get Messy's Ama-Zine classes last month. Warmly, Ginger

Comment: Skinny Puppy added another leg to their “last tour”, so I’ll be seeing them in December. :)

Comment: Thanks for the great chunk. I’ll look into the coraline showing . Thank you

Comment: Wow fast arrival!! 92* here today -much too hot and humid. ( especially for GD Tennis match this afternoon).

Comment: Oh I loved receiving your solar paper prints! So unique! Do you go to a photo studio or do you do this in your home? The solar eclipse one is just phenomenal. Thank you so much!!

Comment: I wish I knew what I was doing on geocache hunt I have went to two and still nothing. I am going to try tommorow.

Comment: I really enjoyed your writeup and photos. I will have to google the boomer bile prop. My son and I once had a trackable race from Sweden to Yuma, AZ. His got lost in Germany. Mine arrived after 3 years at the mega event in Yuma. Yay! But y son was disapointed about his.

Comment: Thanks, Marc

Comment: Thank you for the PC to fill in for the next round!

Comment: Hi Jessica Thank you for the yummy recipes and stickers Spicemom

Comment: Hi Jess, what sweet recipes you sent. I enjoyed reading the history on each one and what made each recipe special to you. I am excited to try them!! Thank you so much. And how wonderful that you have your grandmother’s Rum Cake recipe in her hand writing, that is so special. I just lost my English grandmother and I wish I had her recipes in her handwriting. Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comment: Thank you for sending on your list to me! I remember the Siouxsie and the Bandshees song & I like Nine Inch Nails, so I'll have to check out the other two on your list!

Comment: Jess, So glad to hear that you're almost done with you ES degree. If you'd like to talk more about it, feel free to PM me. Entomology, especially ants, are pretty awesome. I took a class with an ant researcher when I was in college. What's your black cat's name (it got covered by the post office cancellation). Best, Rick

Comment: Thank you! I like the famous people stamps that come along, from time to time. I also like the cat/dog love stamps and the planet stamps. There are quite a few series that I have liked.

Comment: Cool chunk

Comment: Thank you! :)

 

Comment: Thank you for the Chunk, Jessica! Warmly, Ginger

Comment: Thank you for joining my swap!

Comment: Hi Jessica, happy planting! I'll be doing the same later this week! Warmly, Ginger

Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing ATC!! I love Donut the Raccoon :)))

Comment: Yay, I solved it except for one word! "I am trying to become skilled at things like PICOCTF. It uses python..." I am not sure if the triangles are "left handed", as i call them or symmetrical, but I've tried it everyway I can think of and can't get it. A little help, please? :) Yes i am a math person, but i am absolutely not a computer person (ha, maybe that's why I missed that one word!). I do the cryptoquip in the newspaper, but that and the crossword are the only puzzles I do (oh and Wordle, Waffle, and Worldle sometimes). The museum sounds cool! My 10 year old son made his own code today for the first time, coincidentally on the day your letter arrived. Thanks!!

Comment: Omg how cute!! I absolutely love it! Thanks so much!!

Comment: OMG I LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY LOVE!!! Yes, I'm screaming, but I'm that excited!! How freakin' awesome!!!! This is the best part of my year to date!! Thank you!!!

Comment: Thanks so much for the chunk! If you’re interested in seeing some deco pages, my IG is full of them. Same username as here. :) let me know if you ever want a few so you can start playing!

Comment: Hi Jessica thank you for the fun chunk!yes I couldn’t believe I found a card catalog either! It did not have the cards but it has all original hardware etc. and yes she sits in my craft room and I’ve been organizing my stickers and other bits n bobs in the drawers. So far I’ve used 20 drawers but I’m in no rush lol. Funny enough tho I have a ton of original cards that I bought months before at a place in Pittsburgh called. The Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse. It is a very cool place to find crafty things. Take care! ❤️

Comment: I took the "futakuchi onna" ATC and the hand drawn mushroom on paper. I will add 3 new cards and send on when I find another ATC bag swap! Thanks for the tuck-ins - I really like the shiny tags and the blackbird card. Take care

Comment: I'm sorry this is such a late rating, Thank you for swapping with me and for your patience!

Comment: Jess - I'm so sorry for the late rating! My 11 year-old son abducted the alien, lol, when I opened the box, and I just saw it laying on the floor and thought: "oh, damn"... sorry! Anyway, he's adorable, and my son loves him (I love him, too, but he's been claimed :) Thank you so much!

Comment: wow, super cool!! thanks for sharing your interest in entomology. I agree with you that this could be such a great way to bring justice and peace to families of relatives struck by crime. keep doing what you are doing!!

Comment: Thank you for the very neat Poe lino print! Baltimore sounds like such a cool city with a very rich history. I hope I can go there someday!

Comment: Thank you for beautiful bag i really like it i'll wear bag everyday😀😀

Comment: Thank you for the great reading! It's actually super super relevant in multiple ways, and reaffirms many things I've been thinking. Ty again!

Comment: Thanks for the great card and reading. It's not resonating right now, but maybe it will make more sense to me later. Thanks again!

Comment: Oh man, thank you for the great pick! I read the back and thought to myself, "Welp, this person is OTO affiliated." Looked up the author and yep, all the hallmarks and she's definitely friendly with the IOT people based on who she's been interviewed with. She also runs an online magick school and I've been reading up on that. I'm EXTREMELY curious to see what she says in here. Like really really curious. She is hardcore a black magician with a cult following. I'm gonna try to read it this week, I think she will have some decent information in here and also all sorts of shady things casually mixed in. Very excited, I had no idea she existed and we will def have stormy days soon haha. Thank you for the awesome ghosty extras as well! Tbh I'd say more now but my boyfriend grabbed the book and won't give it back because he's reading it lol. Thank you again!

Comment: Aww, thanks Jess! What a sweet prayer and I love that you dedicated this to your cats. I may be a dog person, but I totally get it--pets are family.

Comment: Great inchies,especially like how the skeleton one looks.Thanks so much.

Comment: Thank you for the inches, they are great!

Comment: Thank you so much for all the goodies!

Comment: Thank you. I love it.

Comment: Thank you for the swap!

Comment: I love the photo you have taken and the wonderful story as well ! Just my style. Would you mind if I print it ? Do you do professional photography? I have always wanted to learn more about it.

Comment: Thank you for the fbs and extras. I love the kitty stickers!

Comment: Thanks for the fun swap! You can send me a message if you'd like me to sen you some FBs as I have a lot to move and like to spread them out to different places.

Comment: Thank you so much for the lasagna recipe and garfield recipe cards! They are so cute! And i love the garfield you drew on the envelope

 

Comment: Thank you for your paranormal experiences letter it was very interesting to read! In particular your last exp - I have seen mentioned in a lot of UFO stories with the lights in the window that often people will get the overwhelming sense of peace/calm and not investigate the source as it's happening. I appreciate the extras as well, the handmade envelopes are so cool (and omg the TINY tiny ones wow!) and I love the stickers. Plus your UFO drawing on the envelope! Thanks again for joining and sending a great swap! :)

Comment: Thank you for the ATC! :)

Comment: Wow thanks for the double down on beautiful wood ornaments! The painted constellation was so pretty and the 3d mushroom & fern one is amazing!!! Love them both, thank you.

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful mushroom ATC and all tge little mushroom extras. 🍄

Comment: Thanks for the swap . Its such a cute PC. It only took three weeks to get from MD to ME... not bad as I received a swat recently that took two months to get here from WI. The mail WAS getting better.

Comment: I am SO IMPRESSED! You did a great job on the new FBs you made and I'm thrilled to pass them along. Thanks Jess!

Comment: Hi Jess. Thanks so much for the tea! And, yes, they are all perfect. Lovely packaging too!

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the recipe! I haven't made cinnamon rolls in ten years and they were never that good. I will absolutely give these a try! Also, thank you very much for the stickers! I'm so in live with them. ^^ Edit: I made them on Sunday and damn! I don't know if it's because I never made them right before and never put frosting on top, but your recipe is awesome! Though I made a few mistakes (had to bake them a second time after I put the frosting on because they weren't done yet) they were delicious, even in that state they were in after their second bake. I can't imagine how good they will be if I make them right. You know what? This recipe deserves a page in my handwritten cookbook! <3

Comment: Thank you! Hopefully I will get some time in the near future to try this recipe, it sounds delish!

Comment: Thank you so much for the cuter kitty/puppy card and sharing your weekend with me! I used to make some costumes years ago, but it has been long enough I don't think I could do it very well anymore. I can tell you enjoy it. Have a wonderful day and a Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs, Diane

Comment: Loved the tea envelopes Thank you

Comment: Thank you so much for the incredible package. I absolutely adore the mini tarot and I can't wait to try the spell while we still have fresh corn here in the cities. Blessings!

Comment: Thank you so much! I really loved the Halloween decorated envie! It made my day :) And I appreciated the photo of a very 'cooperative' kitty model. I hope you have a great week! And I hope you get to enjoy your fire-pit in time for Halloween!

Comment: Thanks for the Deco! I'm fairly new to Deco's too, so don't really have any tips. But, I think you did a lovely job on it. I've never seen one like it, very cool. :)

Comment: Thank you so much darling! Sorry for the late rating! :) <3

Comment: I got it on Christmas Eve which was a lovely surprise for me and when I opened it there was another surprise it was Alice! I sent my partner an Alice themed drawing and I was so happy to get a picture of her as I am obsessed with the books/movies. I absolutely love it! It's creative and beautiful and I'm going to find a nice frame so it can sit beside my bed. I love the Christmas card as well, thank you so much! LR

Comment: Thanks for nice card and recipe. I'll try it soon. Greetings from The Netherlands. Eugenie

Comment: Loved the tag and it is now one of my favorite bookmarks!

Comment: This is great! I love the color blending! Thank you!

Comment: Thanks! I opened it up and thought "well... I dont sew...but i could try i guess?" ... thinking it was part of a different swap, and then found the inchies inside! Thanks! they were worth the wait.

Comment: You are absolutely right - art is some of the best therapy out there! Your ATC is beautiful, and the unusual subject makes it even more interesting. Thanks so much for a lovely swap!

Comment: I LOVE the inchies you sent (don't ever compare your art to others' -- it's a losing proposition -- art truly IS in the eye of the beholder!) You picked wonderful autumn events to represent. Not a football fan (but at least you picked a cool team LOL) But all the others remind me of my childhood. I have an autumn birthday and it is my favorite time of year. The background paper is beautiful and your hand-drawings will be treasured. Thanks so much!
