Comment: Hi Reds! Aweome zine-- you're a great artist! :) Thanks!

Comment: WHOA! Your art is awesome, esp your color work, and that's the coolest envelope I've received in a long, long time!

Comment: Intriguing! :0)

Comment: I loved your zine! You're a very talented artist! Interesting story, too. Hope you found something else...you should do art for magazines or something with your art!

Comment: I love your drawing style - and thanks for the fabulous envelope! It was absolutely the kind of thing that makes getting the mail a happier experience.

Comment: I did get your envelope and your PM, I apologize for the late rating. I've had an.. interesting few weeks. Thanks for the envelope and I'll be replying shortly. I've actually been carrying your letter around with me :)

Comment: Thanks for the mini zine! It was a different take and the artwork was great! Also the envelope was pretty amazing!

Comment: Wow ur envelope was and is the coolest I have ever seen. Thanks for the letter I will be writiing back Ta

Comment: You are very talented! The envelope was beautiful and the zines masterfully done. Thank you for a worthwhile swap!

Comment: Wow, I was blown away by the zines and the amazing decorated envelope! You are so talented.

Comment: I'm on my blackberry typing this, so it won't let me give a heart...but everyone should know that this swap was worth 3 HEARTS!!! I loved your art style, your raw sarcasm, the trippy hippy envelope in my favorite colors, and the extra polaroid (which I collect!). I'm not sure if you took extra care to my profile, or if we're just kindred spirits, but once things calm down in my life a bit, I would LOVE the chance to trade zines with you regularly! :) ~Helena8664

Comment: I love the envelope art! Your drawings are great.

Comment: Double the writing fun! Thanx!

Comment: Thankyou SO MUCH! for this fantastic swap! I certainly wasn't expecting four Sharpies...you're wonderful, and if I could give you more hearts, I certainly would do so...The colours are fantastic, I"m gunna have fun using them...thanks a bunch!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful letter! I will write you back very soon.

Comment: The traditional thing to say here is thank you for the letter! lol but since it was angry... none the less, good job on the letter! I halfway think the other half of this swap should have been for our partners to send these letters on to who they were written for. Michelle sounds annoying! lol Thanks hun!!

Comment: Fantastic zine. Really sorry to hear about your job loss but great to know that not only are you looking at it in a positive way it also provided you with some awesome creative material. The best part was your incredible drawings, you are so talented and I think maybe a career as an artist is on the cards? Thanks so much :)

Comment: Great job with the hand-drawing/lettering - excellent envie!... hope you find work soon!

 

Comment: awesome.. your drawing looks like me... maybe we are twins.. haha

Comment: love how your zine looks and your drawings (haven`t read it yet) and the envelope! Thank you so much :)

Comment: Absolutely beautiful. The paper was a great surprise, and your artwork is stunning! Thank you so much!

Comment: Wow! What a great package! As soon as I took it out of my PO box, I was smiling at the label you made for it. The extras are really cool and I can't wait to see how they all tie in with the journal. I only had time today to read the first few pages so I am very anxious to read more tomorrow. I love the little wind up crab! I'm a Cancer so I have a fondness for them :) Everything is just really cool! I can't wait to listen to the mix tape - will probably put that on tomorrow as I'm cleaning. I could go on and on here so maybe I'll just PM you and wrap this up :) I do want to add that I really love how you filled the pages. I'm really looking forward to sitting down tomorrow with a cup of tea and your journal :) Thank you so much for everything!!

Comment: awesome and that envelope rocks!! I was so excited to see it in my mail today. Thanks again!!

Comment: I never ever got such a nice envelope like yours!

Comment: Hi, there!! I wanted to give you extra stars for bringing back so many of MY memories..I grew up in the Washington Metropolitan area, I have lived in Vienna, VA, Centreville, and Warrenton, VA, and in Germantown and Gaithersburg, MD...my husb. was born and raised in Silver Spring, and our children were born at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, and Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring. I remember all of these events very well, I was born in '64, so only a few years older than you....My husb. used to work for the EPA near Main Ave., and rode the metro every day...I knew exactly what you were talking about when you mentioned Arlington, and the more "unique" state of the shops there, etc...And I remember crusing down 14th and K Streets when we were teenagers, gazing out at the "ladies of the evening" and their "gentlemen friends"...remember when the DC Police made a "forced march" of the prostitutes across the bridge into Arlington? That was amazingly weird....I bet you remember it, though....hahaha... I remember going to the 9:30 club to see punk rock bands, too....remember that? Is "Commander Salamander" (the shop) still on the hill in Georgetown? Len Bias was a really big story for those of us who grew up there, not sure if the rest of the country heard much about it...my husb. still talks about it to this day!! I was working as a Sheriff's Deputy for Fairfax County when the Challenger exploded... We have a lot in common!! Thanks so much for the walk down memory lane!! Your swap pal, Sandi

Comment: thank you I enjoyed reading it

Comment: Reds did amazing things with this swap. I am so impressed. I can't wait to read it all!

Comment: Awesome envelope! That looks like something I would enjoy doing, using Sharpies. Thank you for your sweet note about yourself - I loved everything!!

Comment: WOW!!! I loved it so much! Thank you for that piece of art. (sorry I can't post a picture of it because I can't blur my address or remove my photo after a short time)

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely decorated envelope and letter, I have never been able to master fancy writting styles so I'm very impressed :-}

Comment: Thank you so much for a beautiful journal. WELL WORTH WAITING FOR. Jeanne

Comment: Thankyou for a work of art - and the chocolate! Your doll arrived this morning ,she is gorgeously eccentric - well worth the wait.Love her! Beth

Comment: As of 1/25 still unsent with no communication. Send Date originally 12/31/08, extended to 1/7/09. RCVD: 2/20 Worth the wait! I think your choice of colors was good and the hand earrings have always been my favorites! I actually have a pair of my own!

It definately IS cold here...Im going to have a hot cup of tea right now actually! I just got home from Chicago (back to Michigan....) through a blizzard and the trip took about 2 hours longer than normal. So thanks again!!

Comment: your review of "the giving tree" made me think!

Comment: Great to hear from you. Have a great holiday Kimberlee/CatMom6

Comment: This was by far the most amazing mail art I have ever received (and I've been in actual mail art swaps)!! Seriously, it took me two days to get up the nerve to open the envelope because I didn't want to mess it up. :o) The journal entry inside was fascinating too. I appreciate your views, both in this entry and the PMs from you.

Comment: I collect postcards and I love the one you sent me. I also enjoyed reading what DC is really like :)

Comment: Thanks for the card! I love Hokusai's art. Your handwriting is cute!

Comment: Reds, you are awesome! Thanks for the great letter (I love your handwriting) and the Pomegranate Burt's Bees lip balm.

Comment: What a fantastic read! Your letter blew me away. The husband and I are invited to an election party...where we will increase our cool factor by passing out those mints! You are magic. Thank you.

Comment: These are the BEST ATC's ever, just fabulous. I was really the lucky one this time. Great job. Mona PS-Love Hairspray

Comment: i loved reading the letter i felt like i was there. now i want to write back to her

Comment: Reds, I really enjoyed sharing your life this week. I hope you enjoyed your postcards as much as I have mine!

Comment: Thanks for your letter & your writing history -- yes letter writing is a valid pursuit itself and I can see why you're into it.. This was a good letter. As another transcriptionist I can say that as a occupation it doesn't pay very well or have much of a future but it can give you quite a broad view of how the world works. It's been a post-grad education for me. I hope you enjoy it too.

Comment: Nice story...:)

Comment: What a great postcard! His expression made me laugh! And I love the note you put on the back! I really like your handwriting! Welcome to Swap-Bot! Again, thanks for the really fun postcard!

Comment: I love the card, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your writing!

Comment: Thank you. I do love Armstrong & Fitzgerald! What pen do you use to write so tiny? My finest point pen is still too thick!

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely bars, especially the organic ones. And I love lip balm, so thanks for the extra Burt's Bees treat! Welcome to swap-bot!

Comment: Okay you do know the swap was for 3 items, not ELEVEN (if you count the 4 Sharpies individually), lol. Thanks so much!! It really made my day... the markers are colors Im always running low on... mmm the moleskin, devine. The Spree's Im snacking on as I type and the giraffe notecard is just too precious NOT to keep for myself. Also kudos for including a NOTE... so many people dont do that and its nice to know where ea. thing came from on its way to me. VERY IMPRESSED!! Thanks bunches!! If I could give a heart for each item, I would.

Comment: great card...thanks!

Comment: wow thank you ,thank you it is a great package and I love it.Was wondering who it was from. thanks again
