Comment: thank you so much for the yummy teas and the very sweet Paris tea cup drawing! you are so talented! :) and thanks for the extra Halloween fabric square too!

Comment: I got the ATC today and its very well done. I love the Art Deco(not to contradict, but Art Nouveau is more decorative with floral embellishments while Art Deco is more modern and geometric. I do love both style periods!) style of the card and I love Japanese style fish, as well. The buttons are awesome and they are all types I would have picked out myself :) I love the green ones and may end up turning the big floral buttons into earrings. Thank you so much!

Comment: Thank you! The recipes sound yummy!

Comment: What a wonderful bookmark! I love it. Thank you so much and for the extras as well.

Comment: Gorgeous card, love it, beautiful color pencil work! Thank you! ^_^

Comment: Very nice thanks!

Comment: You sent this late without communicating with me. I hate rating down, so I am not going to this time since it was less than two weeks late and I really don't mind waiting the extra time on flat mail. Also, you did send some nice teas and a little memo pad as extras! So, thank you for the bookmark and teas, but next time if you're going to be late, please communicate! :)

Comment: Just received your card last night when I came home but, never had a chance to go back online, I'm surprised how long it took to cycle through the mail. Gorgeous atc! Absolutely love the two little mini-zines that you sent, too. And also, thank you, for the extra atc sleeves, these always come in handy. ^_^

Comment: ♥Very cool ATC; artistically done and unique. Thanks so much!♥

Comment: Thank you! They're so cool. I can't decide if I like the maggot one or the horror poppet one the best... but I've always been more of a maggot girl so that one hits closer to home. Thanks for the zine extra. I've never been to UNH, although I've spent a lot of time in Keene, NH and its environs. It good to know there are bikeable communities to be found in NH!

Comment: excellant job on the fish! I'm glad you're enjoying ATC's...they are addicting and can be a challenge if you're used to drawing a bit bigger.

Comment: Hi babbage1851! I know what you mean about the fun challenge of creating Art on a much smaller scale.Your work looks like you've been doing ATC's for quite awhile. Thank-you for such a wonderfully drawn card. Until I read your profile, I thought you might be an illustrator/graphic artist.I really like your attention to detail, like the cast shadows,subtle changes in color, and precise black outline.The placement of the drawing makes it look like it's looking at me through a window...and coming towards me. Great Job!! Thanks again and thank-you for the extra stickers...I just may do the 20 ATC Valentines after all(LOL)!! Happy Swapping!! Ciao! :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the awesome ATC, and the extra goodies. I really enjoyed them! :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for reading my profile! I do love black tea so thanks for the extra bag of Tazo Joy! Your ATC certainly captures Art Nouveau! Lovely! Thanks again Sam! I loved opening your envelope!

Comment: Oh my I was just going to look for a new chicken recipe; I'll make balsamic chicken tonight! And the tea looks very nice; it's quite chilly here in MA. Thanks for the pretty papers too! Where is Durham? We vacation in Conway (near Mt Wasington) every year and my inlaws have a house in Stoddard (near Keene).

Comment: Yeeeah! Got my book today, and I am so excited! I've wanted to read 'Dracula' for quite sometime.....Also, the handmade bookmark is *perfect*! Thank you Sam, for making a normally mundane Monday wonderful! I really appreciate everything!!!!

Comment: Hi Sam. Got your bookmarks today and they made me smile. Very cheery:)

Comment: Thanks, Sam, you've covered all of autumn very well. I hope you don't mind one suggestion, the line ending with "pretty close" doesn't have the poetic feel of the rest of the poem, you might want to change those words.
