Comment: Wow!!! Even though the package was late, I didn't feel right giving you less than a heart. You went so far above and beyond the swap requirements, making the most beautiful, well made bag wowowowowow!! And then there were the extras!!! You sure read my profile!!! Absolutely EVERYTHING!!! I was having the most dreadful day until I opened your package, the smiles came and just wouldn't quit!! Thank You SO much!!!
Comment: Thank you for the message in regards as to it being late, I appreciate that - and a heart since it was a double-disc set, that's very cool. As for what you mentioned in your letter as for sending out an extra for being late - thanks for the offer! The 40 & 50's stuff kinda intrigues me - my experience to that is rather limited to Bobby Darin, Buddy Holly, Glenn Miller, so anything else would be something new for me - thanks!
Comment: Aw, thanks so much for the book!!!! And I can´t wait to listen to your cd, it seems good. Also thanks for the lovely letter. I have read Perks before, it used to be a favorite of mine. :]
Comment: Thank you for the neat recipes. I will try them out when the mayhem calms down at home............the kids think I'm on overdrive 24/7!!! LOL.
Comment: Vicki!

thanks again for such awesome goodies!

Comment: Wow: 3 centos and a bunch of other goodies--thank you! I enjoyed reading your centos; I love the line "Its ugliness is a matter of custom" and the way you used it. The Polaroid stickers are cool, the mini-painting will go up on my bulletin board, and the art postcards will definitely be used! And how fun that you were within an hour of my house not too long ago.... Thanks for the swap!
Comment: I have never read a Mrs. Pollifax mystery and have been curious. Thank you so much for sending it. And how did you know I collect post cards? I LOVE them.
Again, many thanks

Thank you thank you thank you... I can never thank you enough for this generous package stuffed with care and thought! And to think this is a resend because the first one got lost! - You are an angel impersonated!
Thank you <3
Comment: Holy guacamole! This is probably the best swap package I've ever received! I can't believe my good fortune in having you as a swap partner. You touched on EVERYTHING. And included my favorite colors, and particulars (vintage decorating book) and, gosh, everything! I am in awe. Thank you. You made my month!
Comment: Vicki darling, my special birthday package arrived today!! You totally spoiled me, wow :) Every gift was wrapped so cutely and I had a load of fun opening it all (and I didn't open the one which I am not allowed to open until my actual birthday, hehe - what a cute idea) I adore everything!!! Thank you for your generosity Vicki. I hope you receive a lovely package too and have an awesome birthday on the 7th! :-) cyber hugs x ps. i have posted photos on my flickr site
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful peek into your life. mmmmm...TUNA! My husband loves chicken fried steak (and the cream gravy). The wasabi sauce recipe is going right in my files!
Comment: Oh, this is WONDERFUL! If I could give extra hearts I would! I'm gonna put on my high heels, the apron and gloves and use that cookbook tonight!
Comment: Oh, Vicki vicki vicki. At first I was thinking if you could only think of one embarrassing dating disaster, you've had far too much of an easy life, since I sent each of my swap-partners Different Disasters! But then I read that wedding story and holy crap, that totally was enough good karma (I would have just driven home) to last you a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with me! I am honored.
Comment: If I had a way to give you 5 HEARTS I would!!! Such a lovely package... very worthy of the mailbox dance I did too (funny how that dance was set off more on the town you're from. I dated a guy for a long time that lives in that little town). I love the recipes (the best kind are the ones with little personal notes after them I always say) and I can't wait to try all of the great smelling teas!
Comment: Dear Viki, I really enjoyed reading about your accomplishments! You should be very proud of them all! I also loved the cat card!! Looking forward to our next Swap. Michelle :0)
Comment: Thanks for including TWO lists! i struggled with being serious or frivolous in mine!! I also LOOOOVE the fact that you put it together in a train pamphlet! Too cool!
Comment: A most wonderful and inspiring package! I just LOVE the organic soap and the crocheted soap saver! You really sent a fabulous package! THanks!
Comment: I didn't measure or anything but I'm certain the fabric you sent far exceeded the required 20" square. Besides, you sent that delicious red velvet, which was enough to make me happy. :) Thanks for the nice selection!
Comment: Vicki was an awesome swap partner! She choose bright happy colors and even gave me a pattern to go with it to create a fun spring bag. She read my profile and sent me something she knew I wanted to learn. Thank you Vicki!
Comment: Dear Vicki, Thank you so much for all the wonderful and varied summer recipes you sent to me for this swap. I have not had an opportunity to try any yet, but I will do so during the summer. You gave me many extras and that was very kind of you as well. From just looking at the recipes, it looks like you love to cook and are a great cook. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and care in preparing this swap for me. Maybe we will meet again in a future swap.

Comment: Vicki,
Your ABUNDANT gifts arrived today and I have to thank you because everything is AMAZING!
My husband loves the beef jerky-- I was about to go to the store just for Beef Jerky for our road trip tomorrow and he loves the salsa and he's a frustrated chef so all the recipes are going to be perfect!!
For my part, I love museums and I love local history so I'm going to enjoy those guides (and I do read cookbooks for the lore and tradition-- and I will eat all the goodies too). We will have fun making the black eyed peas, and the pecan pie and all the scrumptious delights from Texas.
Also it's hailing outside right now so that rain poncho is just perfect-- it's like you read my mind for all the things we'd be needing down to the travel mug.
You're THE BEST swapper ever!
