Comment: These are so cool! Super delicate, they inspire me to paste them in a journal and write and draw and paste/collage around them. The ones with the tags still attached are fantastic-- I pictured making a mobile out of a bunch of them. This was a delightful swap, with so much room for creative interpretation. Thank you for the lovely prompts, beautiful mail art, and extra special treats. As always, I feel fortunate to have you as a partner and friend. ♥
Response: So glad you liked my tea bags art! Thank you so much for a lovely rating, as usually you word everything so great! Hugs!

Thank you so much, wish I could give more hearts. Hoping you like what I sent even half as much!

Anyway, I really love everything!

Response: That collaged envelope had many 'clients' lol... So glad you liked it everything. The clear wrap was the best way to met the swap requirements but at the same time protect the envie en case you wanted to re-use it (I even didn't touched the seals). Enjoy it! Hugs and thank you for your ♥ rating!

Response: I have noted it!! They are really crappy but I will send you as soon as I get some!! I didn't have any at the time of sending this swap and I left out some notebanks I had ready for you and I missed to include them in the envelope. I will send them together.

Comment: An envelope full of flowers! A lovely greet of spring flowers. :) I know the colourful problem. Using all colours of the rainbow in one project feels like it's too much of everything for me. But in the end the result works out just fine! Like with your envie. Thanks so much!
Response: I have been suffering with this parcel. Until today, the system didn't show it on transit, still doesn't and I had only my side showing it left the country but nothing else (it's happening with all my certified envelopes :( but at least now I know they are getting to their destinations). I hope you can use any of the treats! Sending love!

Comment: Ay María, al fin llegó tu envío y no puedo creer lo hermoso que es todo, quedé completamente en shock y absolutamente fascinada. Amé todas las cosillas de ephemera, están hermosas y también lo de Flow, que nada de eso lo tenía y me hizo muy feliz! Y qué hermoso cómo armaste un mini pack de cosas para mi libro de recetas que ya pronto comenzaré a trabajar en él y me viene súper todo lo que enviaste, lo encontré demasiado lindo para ser verdad. El monedero pequeño de gatito es adorable y ese té no lo había visto antes. Conozco la marca, pero ese tipo de té no lo había visto, así que feliz de poder probarlo, yay! Amé este swap porque se nota mucho el cariño y tengo muchas ideas sobre qué hacer con todo lo que me enviaste hehe. ¡Muchas gracias y hasta otro swap! Feliz de seguir intercambiando contigo <3
Response: Me hace feliz que te gustara todo. Estaba aterrorizada porque tu siempre envías cosas hermosas 😍!! Un abrazo y espero pronto otro swap :)

I', guessing slices of a citrus fruit .... :) You've been a wonderful host & addressed all the participants' issues! It was a fun new thing to do! Thanks for all the extras!! My daughter is not here ... she's gone to my moher's place, but I thank you on her behalf, she will LOVE the stickers, the postcard, the greeting card, the Toucans ... are the scrapbook paper for her or for me ? :) She'll make delightful "fortune teller"s out of them - here & now they call it "tippy-tippy-top" :) Most importantly, I want to congratulate you about the coffee & spice paper. They have so much "character"!!! If they weren't so fragile, I'd write to penpals on them. Now, I'll make some layered mixed media cards out of them. It's not my "type", but you got me converted ! :)

Comment: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing selection of book-related postcards :)! I´m so lucky to have this many, and I love each and every one and also the stories behind them. You´ve really read my profile with care and I appreciate that. The bookmark-one is my absolute favourite, you see. But I also share mutual memories from my childhood and visiting the local library, from where I always returned home with a huge pile of books with me. Libraries and bookstores still are one of my favourite places and I definitely would like to visit that bookstore in Oregon. Thank you once again for all this and making my day and tens of hearts and all the best for you (and happy reading) :)!

Comment: O Maria, something seriously went wrong with this package. I had to collect it at the postoffice and it was soaking wet 💦😥 It is drying now on the radiator. I could take it apart for a little bit and saw your wonderful boiled paper. I know it is going to be all right, I just have to be patient and that's the hard part. I will let you know how it all turns out and hope you get my sending soon now. Have a wonderful Holiday Time with your wonderful Family. Take care my friend.
Response: Oh no, this made me really sad. I included in this package, an OOAK altered brochure, my first one ever that I cannot repeat, I can make a new one but it will not be the same :(... I will resend Neeltje and I will open a claim here (Who knows at which point it got trapped in danger the package but at least I can express my annoyance)... So upset with this!!!

Comment: Wow, I think you went overboard - this is chock full o'goodies. ~~ I was going to ask you what glue you used because it stuck very well. Only a single corner is at all loose (and I was picking at it to see). I used Xyron and ran it through the embossing machine. Any loose edges were reglued with Beacon Multi-Grip (which is *supposed to* work with metal & glass.~~Yes, I love the boiled paper!
Response: So glad you liked the package! I have no embossing machine or big shot or anything like that. I worked out the Aluminum foil and glued to the light paper with regular white glue and when it ''dried'' out, I painted it as desired, then I bought two pieces of wood and pressed the paper (individually wrapped with wax paper) with them, adding bricks to the stack to add weight and flat better the pages. I need to try all you mentioned and compare results! Cecily, thank you for your hearty rating! :)

Comment: First - love the envelope with the cute big cutout of Alice and the cheshire cat! Classy old fashioned typed return address label, too. Very interesting illustration postcards, my favorite is the card with the perky chicks on the gingham check background! Now, were all the other goodies for a different swap? I did not see another swap card. If it was all extras for this 3 PC swap -- my goodness! All so wonderful. I love the whole sheet of Bambi stickers and the great tickets and fabulous cover and title pages for The Little Prince library book! Yes, that Roman postcard is indeed an unusual take on motherhood! Classy handmade map envelope, too and nice Costa Rica map. Love the unique metal paper clips that say "handsome" and "valuable!"
Response: Those were goodies Shirley!! Hugs and happy you enjoyed all! Thank you for your comments and hearty rating.

Comment: Amazing as always, dear Maria! Love all 5 postcards plus the extras! Isn't that classy quote card (love how it is textured) is so true: Happiness is in the heart, not in the circumstances! My joy comes from God being with me, despite my circumstances! I adore the cute rabbit romping through the leaves. What a fun cat "paper doll" card to cut out and assemble - though I love it as a card itself. Well, they are all great; and then you of course sent even more goodies! Delightful stickers, that gorgeous Eiffel Tower bag and Paris map and love how you create beautiful watercolor papers for your notes, which I can now use in my art. Wow, Madrid looks stunning from the great map and photo brochure -- I hope you had a fantastic trip! Thank you again for a wonderful swap -- is that actually super wide owl washi tape on the cute envelope?? So-ooo happy and cute!

I will add more to this when your other parcel gets here, but for now let me just say thank you. Let it be publicly stated that Maria is definitely the most generous, lovely, caring, and considerate person I have encountered on swap-bot. I'm so often totally amazed, surprised, and blown away by her utter kindness.
Response: Thank you Sophie for being understanding and a loving person and friend. I am glad I was able to shine your day after a long weekend, some blue days and especially; a depressing awaiting of my package. So happy I was able to surprise you this way ;-) Have fun!! The best is yet to come!

Sobre el swap: Que rico las cosas que me mandaste! Las estampillas, las dibujas, todas las cosas papelito - las dos postales sobre todo, por los recuerdos! Hace quatro años en Costa Rica, nos fuimos a ver al Volcan Poas, y a los parques de Monteverde, Manuel Antonio y Cahuita y nos gusto muchisimo! Gracias de nuevo! Espero que estes bien, Catalina

Response: Hola Catalina!!! Ese Volcán Poás está en actividad en este momento, despertó hace pocos días y ahora, junto con el Turrialba, tienen afectado todo el Valle Central. Las cenizas están en el aire, el olor a azufre es insoportable y todo el Valle Central y todo el mundo está enfermo. Los cultivos dañados, los servicios postales retrasados, en fin, estoy feliz de que te haya gustado todo!!! I sent both parcels for you, intended for this swap. 1 with tracking# and 1 naked. I have been really desperated, testing different ways to send my packages. Sometimes they arrive fast, others take months, some are MIA, some are returned.... Please keep it all... I just wanted that at least 1 of the swaps would reach you and I am so happy both did! :-) Thank you for the rating and the ♥ Edited 06/23: Super glad you got the third package too!! Happy you liked the book (my first one!). Abrazos Catalina!

Comment: What a wonderful selection of PCs you sent for this swap -- I love them all! I especially like the Swimming with Guppies one and the Blessing of the Fleet one - such beautiful colors on both. Of course I am thrilled to get the Edward Hopper one - it is one of my favorites of his. The egg one is so very interesting and the green parrot is so darn cute but not too cutesy for my taste :-) Thanks so much and hope to see you again at the mailbox, yours or mine, in future swaps ~~
Response: So glad it arrived!!! Did you get the ones for the WTA, right? Lol, silly question but I was informed of other swap that got opened... So is always good to ask if everything was there. Hugs Gloria, I expect the same!! Thank you for the rating and the ♥

The handmade Christmas postcard is lovely, I love all the glitter! I have to tell you how much I love the papaya stamp on the envelope! Papaya is my favourite fruit, so it is very special to have a papaya stamp!

I wish I could give one hundred hearts for this, you really went waaaay above and beyond for a simple postcard swap. Your generosity is much appreciated and put a great big smile on my face!
Response: I am so glad they have arrived and were 'new' to you! It took me few days before I could decide what to send (because I wanted them to be in good condition and unused) and I saw your collection many times, when found these 4, I even asked my children to make sure they were not in your collection (just in case I was blind lol) and they had other plus (they will be a surprise because you were already thinking I was sending the other choices) ... It was a great lesson and I am happy I made you smile. The invested time is worthy then! Thank you for the comment, the rating, the ♥

I think I underwhelmed you hahaha! I enjoyed reading the messages about you, the stamp story, and the significances of the items you have. I'm so new to this package swaps, but hopefully, if you want again, we'll swap? Thanks for the inpiration on my next package swaps too! I'm just floored I got these all.

Comment: Maria, Thank you so much. It has been an incredibly stressful, bad week for me, so what a great surprise in the mail today. I love the notecards you sent. You only needed to send 2 but you sent an entire package...you are so sweet and generous. I really enjoyed reading through your profile as well. I have always wanted to go there. I will be in Chile for a couple months very shortly, and I think we are close? How neat would it be if we could plan a private swap to exchange in person?! :) That would be so fun. Anyhow, thanks again.....such a great gift. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. P.S. I'd love to private swap sometime?
Response: Oh Tammy, makes me so glad the package arrived fast and that you liked it... I must say, Chile is far from Costa Rica, will take over 8 hours flight but there are middle points or you're more than welcome to come to Costa Rica... 'mi casa es tu casa'.... It will be fantastic!!! Will PM you to talk about private swaps :-) Hugs and Merry Christmas to you and Gratian!!! And thank you for the lovely rating!!

Comment: You box arrived today, and I don't know what to say. It took me a long time to get ready to open this beautiful parcel. I din't want to destroy any of it, so I had to be very careful. Every tiny little spot was covered in beauty. I managed, but than I opened the BIG BOX and it made me tear up. So overloaded with gifts. I didn't know where to begin. Absolutely overwhelming, gorgeous and so full of love. You would have stole my heart with only one item, and now there are so many I can't even count them. How can I ever express my gratitude for this overflow of goodness.I am blown off my feet by your textile art. I will frame it and hang it in my studio. I know it will transfer your wonderful soul and spirit. I want to look at it every day and get inspired by it. So amazing we found each other via SB, it feels so blessed.
