Response: I'm glad you are happy with it! I haven't cross stitched in years, so the bookmark took way longer than it should have, but I thought you would enjoy it. I will get a letter out to you soon!

Response: Aww! Yay!!! I'm so glad you like it! I LOVE Catbus and wanted my ATC to do him justice in its depiction. :) Thank you for your kind words and the rating!

Response: I'm glad you love it and appreciated the idea behind it. :) Thank you so much for the rating and the comment!

Response: Yay!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the package! That makes my day :) I would love to take credit for the book plates, but I didn't make them. They are my favorites and I only use them in special books. I had a feeling you might appreciate them! I'm glad you are pleased with the bookmark. I had intended to collage both sides with dogs and cats, but after I had cut them all out and laid them in place, it just didn't feel right. I decided sometimes less is more and went with a cleaner look. Seeing as this was a book lover's swap, I am most happy to hear how you felt about Pendragon. I had been searching for the right book for you, and when I found Pendragon I felt like it was a good fit. Let me know what you think when you finish it. I may need to find a copy for myself! Thank you so much for the rating and the kind comments! I truly appreciate it!

Response: Thank you! And thank you for the message. I have been on vacation and totally spaced the fact that I hadn't clicked sent. I am glad you liked the envie. I think they add a nice touch. <3

Response: I am really glad that it showed up! I was nervous there for awhile. Enjoy it!

Response: I am so happy to hear that you like it. I had a lot of fun making it. My family was in the military and I know that you don't get to stay in one place forever, so I wanted to make you a little Belarus memento. :)

Response: I also have a binder where my super special things go. :) I am glad this owl could join your collection. He was very fun to put together. <3

Response: I am so glad you liked all of it! I loved that cow! Thank you for the rating. <3

Response: You are more than welcome. :)

Response: I am so happy to hear that it has found a loving home. Embroidery is most certainly my favorite craft and I love doing it whenever I get the chance. From the moment I saw the fabric I knew exactly how I wanted the pouch to be. It is nice to know that someone appreciates my work! :) Thank you for your kind words and the rating! :)

Response: I am glad you were happy with them. Finding the right colors for the green/blue one was a bit tricky, but I was pleased with the results. Have fun with the book pages! Thank you for your patience, and for the rating. :) <3

Response: Yay!!!! I am SO happy I made your fantasy come true! I also collect rosaries so I knew I had to find you one. :) I was especially happy with the one I sent you because it is so different from most of the ones I have found. I'm really glad you were pleased with this swap! Thanks for rating!!! <3

Response: I thought you might like those stickers! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to branch out! And thank you for rating! <3

Response: That got there way more quickly than I expected it too! Wow! I am so glad that you love the coin purse! I wanted to make you one, but I was a little intimidated because I had to make sure it wasn't too "cutesy". I'm pleased that it was a success! I'm happy to hear you like the ATC! Thank You!

Response: I am so pleased that you are happy with the treasures I found for you! Your in-depth profile made it easy to find a wide array of things that I thought you would appreciate. :) It is always nice to hear such lovely feedback. Thank you!

Response: I am so glad that you liked it. It is the first ATC I've made in awhile that hasn't been embroidered, and I was a little nervous about going back to mixed media. I was pleased with the results though! Thank you for rating and for the lovely heart. :)

Response: Yay! I am glad you liked them. I was afraid to send chocolate because everything I like is made in a factory that processes nuts, and I didn't want to kill you. :) Thus I sent you all the fruity gummy candy. :)

Response: I am so glad you liked it! I was crushed when the postal woman put the custom form right over the middle of the collage I had made. >.< It was really fun putting it together for you though, thanks for hosting such a great swap!

Response: Hooray! That was a really fun one to do! I tried a new stitch for the body of the fox and that was quite interesting. I liked the way it turned out but it took a long time! I am so glad you like it!

Response: Yay! I'm glad you like it. It was quite an adventure, that is for sure. Never thought I would see that image in the center of my embroidery hoop! Enjoy. :)

Response: Yay! I'm glad you liked everything. The envelopes are a bit tricky, it took me awhile to be able to do them. I am so glad you liked the piece of Victorian Scrap. I love items from that time...Thank you for the rating and the nice comment. <3

Response: I'm so glad you liked it! It was definitely a more time intensive swap for me. I really enjoyed putting it together though! I am glad the Bride and Groom have found a good home. :)

Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Response: Yay! Glad you liked the envies. I had cupcake ribbon and I knew that somehow I had to work it into my Buck ATC. I remembered that quote and knew it was just what I needed!

Response: I am glad you enjoyed opening it! Being creative with my wrapping/packaging brings me a lot of joy. :) I am so glad to hear that you like your ATC. It was my first attempt at an embroidered ATC. I loved it so much I think that it is how I will do most of them from now on. It's good to hear that they are appreciated on the receiving end. Thank you for the rating. :) <3

Response: You're welcome! I hope you have a Happy Birthday!

Response: You're very welcome. :) Thank you for the rating. <3

Response: I am so happy to hear that you loved all of it! I finished him and I felt like Dr. Frankenstein....What kind of monster have I created???? Hahaha, good to know he has found a loving home...well...hopefully not too loving...his entire function is to be stabbed! :) I'm glad that you are stoked about the book. I picked it up in New Orleans. :) You are going to have to remind me about the necklace...is it embroidery on the doll? Did I send something and forget about it? Either way, if you ever want to swap for Henna supplies, I have access to those as well. :) Thanks for the rating!!!

Response: I kind of have a thing about Birthday Presents. It was really important to me that you got it before your birthday! Thank you for the <3! I hope you feel that it is still merited after you open it! Let me know what you think! :) Happy Early Birthday. <3--------- You are very welcome! I thought you would like the makeup :) Happy Happy Birthday!

Response: Yay! I'm so glad you liked the giraffe! I was worried because he wasn't profile based, the pattern just looked so cute! I hope your son likes the sea animals, he seemed like the perfect recipient of them! :)

Response: Oh, no need to feel bad!!!! That certainly wasn't the reaction I was hoping for!!! I'm glad that you liked what I sent, and I am happy to hear your boys will enjoy the fake blood hahaha, it tastes so good!!!! :P I will look forward to your extras and your package! Thanks for the great swap! :)

Response: Glad you liked it! It is by my favorite artist. :)

Response: Yay! I'm glad that you liked it! I tried to send a variety so you would be able to use it for different projects. Like I said, let me know if there is a particular fabric that you need more of for any reason and I'll see what I can do! I can't wait to see what you send me!!!

Response: It is such a relief that you like it all!!! I was a bit worried to be honest! YAY! I'm so happy you are pleased with the presents. Enjoy!!!

Response: You're very welcome! Thanks for rating! :)

Response: I am so glad that you loved it!!! I had an excellent time putting it together for you! I was nervous about sending the Bob Marley book because there are so many psalms in it and you specified not to send religious things, but I took a chance and sent it anyway. I'm glad I did!!! Enjoy it all!!!

Response: I'm so glad that you like it!!! I was worried about whether the pressed orchid in the middle would survive the trip there. I hope it held up. I had a great time making this ATC. Bees are really important to me because thats what people call me! So I am glad that my Bee ATC went to someone who appreciates it. :)

Response: Angie, I'm so glad it finally got there! I'm really pleased to hear that you loved it all because I had an excellent time putting it together for you. I hope we can swap together again soon! <3 Lily
