Comment: Good for you!!! I hope everything really works out for you, and that you really enjoy your new line of work. It really sounds creative, exciting, and rewarding. I believe it really will work out for you in the end. What you wrote really has inspired me to not waste time on a career that I just do not feel passionate about. I am going to search for something I will love doing every day. Also, thanks so much for the handmade tag, it's adorable!

Comment: Lots of YUMMY STUFF! the colors and textures are purrrrftect! Thank you

Comment: Thank you for your random mail art. You chose a nice variety of collage goodies, did you make those papers yourself? And thank you for the ribbon you enclosed. I wish it would have been a little art in it tho, but I like all you have sent.

Comment: Thank you so much for the great tag book and for all of the delightful extras!

Comment: Thank you, Kathleen! I really enjoyed reading your list. One of them was buying "more" typewriters. Do you already have several? Some of ours were really similar, especially that we want to learn more languages and travel. Thanks for sharing these with me. Some of yours might join my list!

Comment: Hi Kathleen, you wouldnt belive me. I found your envelope with letter in it. I am so ashamed do do the rating such long time after the sending. I wanted to say that it was one of the best letter I ever read. I dont know if you would stil like to hear from me, but I personally would write you /soon:)/, thank you for the tea as well:)))

Comment: Loved it. So inspiring!

Comment: Not exactly the items from my wishlist but I still liked everything, especially the Anne Taintor notebook. Thanks for the great package of goodies. Updating to add a heart on 4/23 I keep thinking about this swap and I've decided to follow my heart and give you a heart. :) I apologize for not doing so in the first place but I was getting razzed by a few people for not rating "exactly to swap requirements". Whether the items you sent were on my swap wishlist or not, they are on my profile wishlist and I was more than delighted when I opened the package to find them. (I forgot to mention the Smurf journal before but that was AWESOME!!!)Not to mention this was a resend, so you went above and beyond and I really appreciate it.

Comment: Thanks a lot

Comment: I love the newsletter format!!

Comment: loved your letter and your learnings. thank you :)and also thank you for the zine. a good read

Comment: Hope to travel the world some day I think I'll have to make Norway and Mt Ulriken one of my stops. I like the way you presented it too. I thought someone had sent me a newspaper clipping by mistake until I began to read it.

Comment: Congradulations on all the good stuff going on in our life right now -- I can understand skipping over the difficult stuff writing to a stranger but I can add in enough to think you've paid your dues and this new turn of events is deserved and you'll be smart enough to really appriciate the happiness you now have. Thanks for sharing you story.

Comment: Thank you for sharing some of your memories, and for the extras you sent. I'm so happy your story is happy now :)

Comment: I LOVE the Anne Taintor postcard. Thank you for sharing the zine with me as well. As for your question about the other swap... unfortunately it's still MIA. This one was great though and gives me something to look forward to.

Comment: Thanks for resending - that's the first thing that's ever gotten lost in the mail and I'm sad you had to re-write that long letter! :O( I'm so glad you did though, it was such a lovely package to get in the mail! I love all the natural papers and cute kawaii stationary - thank for sending those along with your beautiful letter - you've got incredible penmanship! I'll send off a letter your way soon. ~Artsyfartsy

Comment: I love your colorful, creative winter zine. The variety of art, photos and papers used are exactly the kinds that really appeal to me. And the different kinds of things you included - craft/gift idea, gingerbread recipe - really made it not only interesting and fun, but useful, too. Thanks also for the blank notecard! I love blue sky and fluffy cloud motif. :)

Comment: What an amazing little 'zine! I love the homemade paper too. I just made some myself with my craft group, but we didn't get such vibrant color. Thank you! Carol

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful cards.

Comment: What a nice package! Interesting bookmarks, book plates, label and pin as well as a key holder from the Richmond Public Library! But it is the postcard about the Toronto Public Library Collection exhibit that I found fascinating. It really makes me want to plan a visit there! Thanks for sharing (and swapping via swap-bot!)

Comment: What a great letter and such fun "tuck-ins"! I wish I had some of that apple crumble! YUM!

Comment: Wow! What a great swap and letter! You are really OBSESSED with paper these days, huh? Thank you so much for the bits and pieces, too-- I'm also a paper crafter, though not nearly as much as you! WOW! Hahahah.... I got the *other* letter swap from you (which hit two birds-- something happy, and your obsession), and then I got your new obsession: food politics! I'm not thinking of becoming a vegan, but I'd give up chicken for health reasons if I could (the way chickens are raised is pretty much the recipe for incubating a superflu). Best wishes!

Comment: Wooo Canada mail is slow and then so was I a bit getting to this. Everything finished coming at the beginning of this week. Thanks so much, your life sounds so interesting and full. I'm not sure where the masked people fit my profile or the bar one *gulp* but the Kellar postcard is Super Awesome! :)
