Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter! Wow, that is awesome that you've lived in Germany. I've lived in/around the same small town my whole life!

Comment: Thank you for the interesting, charming and thought provoking vignettes! I really enjoyed reading them. And how cool you are going to live in Germany! It's a wonderful country, very friendly people :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome pictures! I actually forgot an item from home as well! I found some miniature in the back of my car to use in my pictures- I think the sneaker idea was brilliant! Baby stones make me sad as well. I always like the stones where they lived to like age 89 or something. Also, we were born in the same year! Thanks so much!

Comment: Thank you so much for the great tea selection! Have a wonderful weekend :)

Comment: Thank You have really opened your heart in this letter, & I would not comment here, which will be very public.

Comment: Thank you for your postcard and things you know about Canada eh? If you are ever here you must try our poutine it is awesome!

Comment: Vielen, vielen Dank für deinen wunderbaren Brief! Ich habe mich riesig gefreut und dein Deutsch ist klar und verständlich. It really brightened my day. I´m so curious about you moving to Germany, though. Would you mind if I answered?

Comment: Thank you so much for the yummy chocolate, Chelsea! I'm pretty sure we used to be penpals, too- when I looked at the return address, I recognized your name xD Thanks again <3

Comment: Hey Chelsea! Thank you very much for your beautiful handpainted envelope and letter. It's a pleasure receiving mail like this! I'll write you back ASAP ^_^ Take Care, Lidia

Comment: Thanks you for my samples! I'm excited to try the ginger tea!

Comment: Thank you for your lesson :) I actually speak Russian, well, basic Russian, but really enjoyed your lesson :)

Comment: Cool letter--it was kind of difficult to read but I got the hang of it! It was a neat experiment. How did you get your wax seal to stay on the outside of the envelope?? Mine always come off when I have them on the outside. Good luck on your move and all your future adventures!

Comment: Hi Chelsea! Love the pc! How wonderful that you got to visit with friends and isn't Skype wonderful? We are currently using Face Time to visit with our kids in Germany - love whoever invented all these ways to keep in touch with those we love! Thank you for joining the swap - I hope you had fun! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Well, I'm not sure 33 qualifies as middle aged (I'm 31, so it hits a bit close to home! :)) but I loved your letters. Especially the one to your 13 year old self. It was beautiful and honest and raw and just delightful. Thank you for sharing!

Comment: A fun place to visit, for sure! Karolina
