Comment: Thank you for the fabulous postcard - I couldn't love it more! The book you were reading sounds good - I looked it up and I will add it to my list! I just finished What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama. I loved it!! Quick read but a lovely grouping of connected short stories. Thanks for joining my swap - enjoy the holidays! : )
Comment: Thank you for the lovely butterflies postcard! The most recent insects I've seen lately are ladybugs!! It was ladybug season for a while because they usually come out during autumn in IL! Thanks so much and have a good day!! I also love the stamps!!
Comment: Magirology is a great word for cooking. It has the ring of ancient sciences and clever secrets. Magicology should also be a word for it too. Tasty magic would be my favorite science.
Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für die schöne Karte. Mich hat heute viel Nichtstun glücklich gemacht, sowie dass noch leckeres Essen von gestern als Rest im Kühlschrank war, und dass mein Nachbar mir unser örtliches Käseblatt vor die Tür gelegt hat. Nun bin ich auf dem Weg zum Wochenmarkt und werde mich nochmal mit vielen bunten Vitaminen eindecken.
Comment: It doesn't get much better than a hot pink nanner card! I am currently reading The Dead by Charlie Higson. I am on a mission to a) get my 2024 reading goal, which is lower than usual to begin with, but I've been off my game this year and b) clear my shelves of the books that are TBR that I have NO idea where they came from - The Dead being one such book!
Comment: Thank you, Joana. It was a great card to begin with, but II love your hand-stitched alteration. I've been thinking about doing some embroidery on postcards for a while. Maybe your creation will inspire me to JUST DO IT! Thanks again for brightening my day with your rays of sunshine!
Comment: Hi Joana! I swear mail from overseas gets here faster than from another state. It is amazing. I like the cute envelope you made. The tiger washi is cute and the stamps are great. I love the ephemera you included. I am planning some master boards/collaging soon. Perfect timing. Thank you!
Comment: Thank you so much for the adorable monkey post card and I have to check out Dangerous Crossings - you make it sound so amazing. Thank you, Darla
Comment: Thanks so much for the pretty card! Things that made me happy today are my 3 cats and 2 chihuahuas like every day, and finding some fun new music. Also I made pad thai, and it was delicious. :)
Comment: Thank-you for the pretty card and stamps! Also, I had not ever heard of acanthochronology and it was super interesting to learn about! I had to google it so I could see some of the research and images:) Now everyone in my dept knows about it LOL! Hope you are well, best wishes!
Comment: Thanks for the card ❤️
I love the real winter with ton of snow and below zero. We’ve been so lucky now in Finland. We had snow already in the end of November and it’s been super cold. Last week it was -20°c the whole week 🎉
Comment: Thank you for the postcard. I don't remember my first flight because I wasn't even a year old. But I have made that same flight many many times throughout my life and it's always been good. Happy New Year!
Comment: Thanks for the volcano PC, I really like the artwork:) Lots of info in the news on volcanoes lately and I didn't even think of this option for "V"! Nicely done! Hope you have a lovely holiday season:)
Comment: I love the test pattern postcard! I remember those too, as well as the ones with the colored bars. One time I used colored washi tapes to make postcards like the colored bar ones, for a swap. I thought that was kind of fun! Thanks for the fun swap.

I saw both movies you mentioned for a class in college - I loved them both!!! Hope you have a wonderful night and thanks for joining my swap! xoxo

Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Karte. Ich habe auch von papermoon Karten: alte Gemälden (am Meer) und die Bibliotheken Ausgabe.

Comment: Received your book postcard today and thanks so much for it ! I love this PC of Magical items for Fantasy writers. I'm a big time reader of Fantasy books!

That dream sure was crushed for sure.🙁 Have a great day Joana!

Comment: Thank you for the cool postcard, and I also loved the stamp. You asked what I thought of the quote and it made me think of the famous quote that "Anonymous was a woman." For over a thousand years many of the works that women created (art, scholarship, etc.) were listed as anonymous.

Comment: Wow, I don't know if you meant it to be so but your card was super insightful! Winter is my least favorite because of the darkness, but I do love the stars. I e never considered how magical it is to still have them in the AM but you're right. Maybe I'll be slightly less pessimistic now.
Comment: Thank you for the lovely swap!!! Everything is great - I need to try that bread one day too! It’s so strange but the back of your envelope had a postmark from here (Columbus,OH) on November 9 but it didn’t find my mailbox until today! It was so nice to find, thank you! Enjoy your weekend! xoxo

Thank you again!! xoxo
Comment: Thank you for the great PC and your story. I never think of those transitions. Mine started with 45RPM vinyl records, then 8-track cassettes when I got a car.
Comment: Thank you for the cute owl postcard. That's a fun fact about squirrels. I have two different types of squirrels in my yard and enjoy watching their antics.

Comment: Hi Joana! Thank you very much for the flower PC with flower stamps. Pretty! Carnations are my favorite flower too! I love the yellow best! The King Protea flower is pretty! I wouldn't even know to find any. But they remind of the Carnations though.
Comment: What a lovely swap! It definitely put a smile on my face. The envelope is so nice and with such great postage stamps. I love the mail inspired something inside the envie. Thank you for it all. I like postage stamps since they are small, expressive, informative, and decorative - and mail a letter to connect and communicate with people almost anywhere. Be safe.
Comment: Thanks for the lovely story and card! I am somewhat embarrassed to say I haven't yet seen pulp fiction! It is on my list though, and maybe in the next few weeks? Hope you're well! <3 Al
Comment: Thank you for the nice card! I have been briefly once at the Düsseldorf airport (for about 2 hours because my hostfamily forgot to pick me up....). Didn't learn about the mustard during those 2 hours :D
Comment: Danke schön! I am so happy every time someone writes me in German (or Spanish). I had German for 3 years in school many years ago, but I want to keep it fresh. This morning I had to use Google translate for your card, but I learn more and more every time :D Love it! And the statement on the card and your words was exactly what I needed these days! Thank you so much!
Comment: I absolutely loved your story (and the coffee postcard too)!! I've become so fascinated with micro fiction and I'm looking forward to the next round of this swap! Stay safe and be well!
Comment: This is an amazing swap!!! Such a bright colorful postcard with a lovely stamp. I find your question interesting; I don't know that I've ever thought of days and animals in the same way. I received your card yesterday; yesterday was a SNAKE in the USA.
Again, thanks for lovely swap. See you around the swaps.

Great Bauhaus stamp too - wow!!! Thank you so much!

Comment: Love your drawings! I've put the card on my fridge - not that I have any of those drink ingredients, but I can pretend they're what's in my fridge.
Comment: Thank you ! I love the card. I have seen the spaghetti ice cream in friends’ pics,but not here. In Southern CLifornia,we have dole whip. It was first served at Disneyland. Not like the cool berry topped one with an umbrella I had friday

Comment: Love love LOVE the card you've chosen for me for this swap! Reading is great! I've actually read a whole lot of books myself again. Haven't done so ever since I got kids..

Comment: Hello! Thank you for your card and bookmark. I loved reading your answers to them. Your upbeat-ness was a ray of sunshine waiting for me.
The last book I finished was "My Sister, The Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite - check it out, it's fantastic. Really humourous to say it's about a woman who keeps killing her boyfriends.
I hope you're staying safe and positive.
Happy Swapping
Mickie

Comment: Thank you, Joana, I love the postcard even though I've never seen the Jacques Tati film from which the image comes.I was hoping my library would have it. They have a great collection of classic films , but sadly their DVD of Tati's short fims doesn't include "the School for Postmen." I have two bikes myself (one folds up for easy transport), but like you, I prefer to walk most of the time!
Comment: What a nice card, and wonderful list! Mine is similar - love the colours of the nature, lighting candles, soup, hot drinks and cosy scarves. Plus: woolen socks. So warm and cosy :D
Comment: Thank you thank you! Hearts for the stamps which has bronze and musical elements in it plus the fact that it is the official souvenir! Love Love Love. Happy 150 years of Postcards!

Comment: Your frog on a motorcycle card didn't just make me smile, it gave me a good solid belly laugh! Thank you, Joana. We need all the humor we can get these days.
Comment: Thank you for the card, I love squirrels even though we don’t have them in Australia. I saw some when I travelled to USA last year. They are very cute
Comment: I love your postcard, such a beautiful picture and the sparkly mint green texture is so different to anything I have ever received on a postcard before. I like the quote, I've had this in a few swaps, I think something is trying to tell me to wander, he he. Thank you. Em. x
Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für die schöne Karte!! Petterson und Findus ist ein toller Klassiker, wobei mein kleiner Bruder die damals noch lieber mochte ich und ich ihm die Bücher dann regelmäßig vorgelesen habe. Danke (:
Comment: I absolutely LOVE the postcard you sent and thank you so, so much for sending in an envelope!! ♥️
5/29 - the Jersey map card arrived today & I love it! Thanks again :)
Comment: I love this postcard! I remember that we watched some of it in class in high school; although I can't think of which class it was. I was scared of birds for several days afterword! I definitely need to watch it in it's entirety. Thanx again!
Comment: Thanks ever so much for the fun postcard. I am familiar with the illustration but not the stories and how funny that you were in Esher - lovely town, we quite often go to the cinema and restaurants there.
Comment: First, BEAUTIFUL PC! This made me laugh so hard. Hey, good doodling. My first thought was, I'd wish for a proper genie who knows how many damn wishes he's supposed to give out! Then I thought I'd settle for permanent world and national and local peace. Just an end to violence entirely. If THAT's too much for lazy one-wish genie, I guess $1 billion would be fine. I mean, I could settle for that, I suppose. hahahaa! Also, I'll write a more serious answer to this in my journal today or tomorrow. Good question. But seriously, I hope you get a better genie hahahahaha! No, not seriously. Anyway, thanks and I'm sorry for the late rating. I've not been well and am catching up tonight.
Comment: Thanks so much for resending! It's natural that the occasional card gets lost, considering everything these small flat pieces of paper have to go through! What a fun vintage card, too! So special! Thanks!
Comment: Thank you for the pretty envie filled with all kinds of stamps! I adore the bird postcard you sent to me as well! I never saw one with glitter on it like this! Thank you for the Paris map too!
All the best!

Comment: Thank you for the cute bunny with a waffle on its head, haha! I have no idea WHY it would be there, but it reminds me of the pictures people take where they stack things on their cat's head, because the cat is too lazy to care!
Comment: Thank you very much for sharing with me the lovely nautical themed postcard and stamp a firm favourite type of mine to receive. I also liked your cute weather symbols, we've had the first sign of snow this week fortunately it was just a fleeting flurry :)

Comment: The 3 street life PCs are so perfect Joana, thank you very much! And I loved your little note and the cute flamingo and palm tree envie it came in! Many hearts to you :)
Comment: I love this! Okay, I'm a former English teacher, so this reminds me of the story by Saki--"The Open Window." One of my favorite short story authors and one of his best stories too! Check it out if you've never read it. He's one of the original writers who used "twists" that you didn't see coming.
Comment: Thank you for the Sylvia Earle card, Joana. She’s one of my heros. Would you believe I got another card from that women scientist collection in the mail today too! I read the book from which the images were taken & was blown away by the illustrations, so I was delighted when the postcards came out. Your fish stamp was a good match-up too.
Comment: Many thanks for the pretty envelope and lovey postage - and oh, what sweet surprises inside! I absolutely love the 2 postcards: the elegant giraffe card and the amazing Mickey Mouse card! And what a terrific vintage Coke order form! Fun stamps, too, in the little glassine envelope. And what delightful presentation of my surprises -- wrapped in the delicate tissue with the wonderful note tucked under a nose!!! You made me smile with great joy!

Comment: Hello Joana -- thanks for the nice card from Switzerland. I do love the mountains, and hiking in them. Can easily imagine myself there! :) Best, al

Comment: Thanks so much! I love how you integrated your drawing with the stamp and the PC! I would definitely go to "kaffe" with this group, though the young lady looks a little sour. LOL thanks too for the art nouveau stickers. I love them! Umarmungen aus Alaska, Sherry

Comment: Thank you for the fabulous vintage goodies - I loved the glimpse into life in Germany in the 20's and 30's! I actually spent 5 minutes opening the package cause I didn't want to damage the beautiful envelope as well 😊. I had fun reading the recipe page trying to puzzle out what the recipes are for as well. Danke! (that's all the German I know aside from yes, no, a little night music 😂 and, apparently salt, butter, tomato...).

Comment: What a beautiful PC and yes it does look like a place that would warrant a trip. I am always fascinated with PCs from outside the US and especially in the countries in Europe -- so much history and such amazing architecture and design of so many different things - just amazing. Thanks so much for a beautiful PC and hope to see you in future swaps ~~

Comment: Danke für deinen Diamanten! Das passt toll zusammen. Das Foto ist sehr interessant. Ich bin mir noch nicht komplett sicher, aus welcher Perspektive es aufgenommen wurde.
Comment: Thank you for the card--I also like the stamp with the 20s fashion. Reminds me of the last few seasons of "Downton Abbey"--great fashions. There was an exhibit at the museum here of costumes from the tv program.

Comment: Thanks for the cool postcard with awesome stamps 😋 I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year. My best friend's birthday is December 26th and we took her to the Orlando Eye Ferris wheel 🎡 and it was very fun. Maybe this year I can actually manage a date and do some traveling too.

Comment: This is one of the loveliest postcards I've ever received! I am an avid reader, love pen and paper, and anything art related, and I'm also I big fan of birds, (I actually have 4 pet budgies!) This PC has a distinct Asian feel which is very dear to me, and there are even ladybugs on the tree which is a huge symbol in international adoption â¤ï¸ It was truly as if this was custom made for me. And it arrived on a day when I needed to be uplifted so much. Thank you very much...you'll never know how much this humble postcard blessed my day!
Comment: Hi Joana, Thanks for the great weird postcard. The image had me staring for a while....I am now looking at more of this art work. Much appreciated! Happy Holidays!! Diane

The beer mat and airmail labels and postcards....thank you so very much. Just perfect!!!!!!!! Thank you for joining again!!! xoxo
Comment: Thank you for the card. We have been watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. But right now I am watching Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back. One I have seen many times.
Comment: Thank you for the swap! I love how you folded the letter... I examined it very carefully before opening to make sure that I could remember how to put it back together. The exhibition looks very interesting too!
Comment: Thank you for the cute bird card! The Blue Tit is my German pen pal's favorite bird. I've never seen one but hope to some day. Very cool about you seeing the herons! We have lots of them here along with cranes. My bird I had spotted was a Pileated Woodpecker, the largest woodpecker in the USA. They are pretty elusive but we have lots around. I just happen to get to see more as I drive 80 miles a day :)
Comment: Thanks for the fab card Joana. I love flying and planes. It is always the start of a new adventure for me. I'd love to do it more often but the hubby hates flying!
Comment: That is a cool ad pc for a post office! Sounds like a fun pc shop you found, I bet you had a blast looking around there and doing some shopping 😃

Comment: Thank you for the postcard! :) It sounds like you had a great summer! I had an awesome summer too, i went on holiday with my family to celebrate my 21st Birthday, so that was probably my favourite part! :)
Comment: Thank you so much for all the wonderful stuff! I really loved everything. Also the kids I watch speak German so they loved translating everything.
Comment: Oh my gosh, Joana, what a brilliant creation! I was delighted to see that the "sandwich" was wrapped the way a real deli sandwich would be, and then when I read the description, my mouth was literally watering! The variety and texture of the materials you used were such fun. I've been showing it to everyone. Definitely one of my favorite thing I've ever received on SB! THANK YOU! <3 <3 <3
Comment: Oh wow. That IS a crazy image! Is it art? Please say it's not a real photo! (Wouldn't the arm have been cut from the shark's teeth?) Eek! . . . Thank you for sharing! :-)
Comment: What a witty and elegant work of art! I loved the more complex binding, and wanted to immediately be more ambitious with more minizines! Thanks so much.

Comment: Thank you for the funny postcard 😋 I just came back from Comic-Con in San Diego and that was lots of fun and the weather was nice. The weather back here in Florida is way too hot and muggy. I think I need to go back to the west coast. Have a great summer, Nathan
Comment: Thank you for the nice card of the 4th of July Cafe--so timely! Though I lived in Florida for a little while, I've never been to Key West. Best Wishes!
Comment: Thank you so much for this lovely envelope! sorry for the delay in rating - I was absolutely convinced I'd already rated you but either my memory is failing me or it didn't post for some reason! Anyway, I loved the items you chose and the photos are wonderful! Thank you so much!
Comment: Hallo Joana!
Sometimes I wonder WHY certain things become tourist destinations. Why? HAHAH This is a perfect postcard for UGLY postcard! The photographer could have snapped the photo in a more artistic way... It looks like the wall is being reinforced by pieces of wood ... how safe could that be!
Thank you!!!
Hugs and have a great weekend!
xx Gabi
Comment: Thank you for the 'not-a-postcard'! I have never actually ready any of those books! But that is certainly a good way of reusing them! Thank you for the nice wishes, best of luck with your move, I hope everything runs smoothly for you :)
Comment: What a lovely ATC. Thank you for the amazing work. It makes me feel peaceful. Her stance is so confident and relaxed and the sky coming through the window is filled with magic.
Comment: Hi Joana, thank you for the Filliou postcard! I would call it art, but I don't have a lot of rigid parameters for what I call art like some critics might have. I like it! Cynthia
Comment: You are so incredibly clever! What an incredible postcard, down to the Fahrenheit stamp :) I love the Devonian tea bag -- wouldn't it be great if you could bring an ancient world to life just like that?! Thanks so much for a wonderful swap.
Comment: I enjoyed reading your creative minizine. It also inspired me to start making mine. It's certainly challenging, but I finally finished mine today.
Comment: Fabulous! What a wonderful zine. Definitely my favorite one I've ever received. You are truly an inspiration. Love the design and the content. Thanks!
Comment: Very cool stitching addition to the postcard - I like it a lot! (and alas, i did nothing special for Leap Day, didn't even clean the kitchen :^)
Comment: Hi Joana, thank you for the very cool B&W overloaded truck card! I am sure you are right that people were intermingling on that trip! Great choice for the word. and thank you for joining the swap! All the best, Cynthia
Comment: Many thanks for your bird zine, I enjoy your style! I also like the origami bird folded note and how the stamp matches the envelope, and I love the fact that the envelope is a stripy bag!!
Comment: Wow! Thanks for your mail. It made my day :) Your zine is A-MA-ZING! I'm not sure is my zine good as yours:( And birds represent freedom for me and they're so beautiful
Comment: That sounds like a great play! Did you see it? Great image on the card. Thanks so much for sending that to me!
Sounds cold there...brrrrr
Thanks again
Comment: Halo Joana! Thanks for the beautiful Map PC! I always wanted to go and visit Ayers Rock in Australia. I plan one more trip, to Germany, in the next few years. We also have had little snow this year. Today, we received one inch, but it is already melting in the sunshine! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Comment: Love this classy looking vintage lady and how you decorated her with "bubbles" and postage stuff! Always appreciate the real stamps on postcards too-thanks for swapping!
Comment: Thank you so much for my postcard...I do love that quote by Mary Poppins too! Even more so, I absolutely love your squirrel tape, sooo cute! As for 'luck', I want plenty of it this coming year!! Hahaha Once again, thank you Joana xx
Comment: I absolutely LOVE these swaps! They are some of my favorites!! Thank you for the cute postcard made from the MAOAM packaging!
Happy New Year ! I hope you are well and that 2016 has started off wonderfully for you and your family!

Comment: Hi Joana--thank you for the swell "chunk!" I don't think I'd ever heard of Nappo before. It's not really something I'd go for: when we're talking about candy, I head straight for the chocolate! Very nice stamps. Have you ever gotten to go inside a lighthouse, if not live in one? I've been in a couple. The closest, though, has been closed for many years due to some structural problem. I do get to see many lighthouses, though, driving up & down the California coast!
Thanks again for a welcome card!
Comment: Thank you, what a great photo! It's getting cold here, too, though not as cold as where you are. We had lows in the 20's all last week. It's was lovely to receive a card with a little reminder of summer!
Comment: Hello! Thank you so much for your great postcard! I loved it :-).
I very much enjoy traveling and flying, but with four kids I don't get to do it as much anymore. A few years back, when we only had three kiddos, we went to South Africa. My best trip EVER! I never wanted to leave. My husband used to live there :-)
Comment: Wow these were wonderful. Thank you so much. I'm planning to take the train to Salt Lake City soon. I love long train rides. Have fun on holiday.
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful "chunk"--I recognized the Kinder Egg colors right away! I do come across Kinder Surprise, and also Zaini eggs sometimes, and enjoy opening them in hopes of a great surprise. I think the chocolate is bad, so I toss it, but I am always hopeful for the toy, and have found some good ones! We sometimes see a couple of "street legal" brands here in the U.S., where an abundance of concern demands that the two halves of the shell not be fused, and sometimes the toy in those is cool, too! :)
Thanks again for a great card & note!
Comment: Such a fun swap!! Thanks for the info about the chunk o cardboard you used for this swap! I will be looking for these yummy bits of deliciousness at our international market!
Happy Swapping!!
Comment: Love the postcard! Love the stamp! This is one of my favorite postcards ever received. And thank you for your patience while I was away from home for a month. I had a pile of mail when I returned :)
