Comment: Respected Lady Ladybird, It is with wriggling and many-limbed delight that I accept your invitation to the 43rd annual Bug Ball at le Grand Stump. The invitation card is exquisite: what delicacy of line your grasping pincers have achieved! Thank you, and may the Spring sunshine warm your beautiful spotted back, Lightfoot Swallowtail

Comment: Thanks for the cool art b&w! I love finding PCs like this in vacation. That cocktail recipe you sent sounds great! I think I will have one this afternoon. 🐝

Comment: Thank you so much !

Comment: Oh my gosh. This is so unbelievably amazing!! You are SO talented. I hit the Valentine jackpot!! It looks just like a chunky version of my boy Bryan. This is really incredible, I am going to hang it up as art in my apartment. Thank you so much, I LOVE it!!!!

Comment: Hi Melissa! You have the neatest handwriting! I thought it was typed when I first saw it. I wish I can write like that! I love your holiday! I have very challenging days sometimea and to get my negativity out, I started a "venting" journal. I like your holiday much better! :)

Comment: Love the postcard! I had to look closely to see what was going on, hehe!! I wish I could do the one eyebrow thing too. My brother could and I would try everyday when we were little but I still can't to this day. Thanks!!

Comment: Love the card and the 5 things :) I would keep a couple of the kittens too :) I am usually spending the summer crocheting afghans for winter haha..not really a fun time to make a big heavy blanket I tell ya but great for keeping the hands and brain busy while one road trips! :) Love your handwriting! so clear and easy to read :) Thank you for the card :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful PC! I find it very interesting that the different shapes used to cover blemishes stood for something. Very interesting. :)

Comment: This was probably the best card I have gotten in a long time. I love it. Please remember to list which swap it is for either on the envelope, the back of the ATC or the note inside. I had to search all my atcs swaps to find you. I hope I get you as a sender again, as you are very creative.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter! Your handwriting is amazing. And I can't wait to try both of the recipes you sent. (I haven't read Series of Unfortunate Events, but I can see why they wouldn't translate Pasta Puttanesca accurately. I think the name is hilarious, although possibly not kid-friendly.)

Comment: FlawIess parents, feeling absolutely secure - I know just what you mean, Melissa (sigh). Loved your list, and the sweet drawing. Thanks so much for sharing!

Comment: I haven't had it developed yet but I thought it was super funny that we had so many similarities on this swap. I was also pretty late sending it, I got a picture of my cats, and the back of my significant other because he too is camera shy!

Comment: The outer envie was really lovely, thank you, Melissa. And the extras were super too.

Comment: I loved the envelope and your writing. So beautiful. I will definitely find little big.

Comment: Thanks for the great card, I love it... As far as your description goes you got an impressive 90% correct!!! All your description is true except the glasses.

Comment: First, beautiful postcard! Thank you! All of your choices sound really interesting, but I have to go with #2 - the taxidermy bear head named Faustus. Let me know if I'm right!

Comment: I Love it!!!!! :o) Thank you! Also thanks for the awesome embroidery kit you included as well. :) great illustrations!

Comment: Enjoyed the card. Laughed about the comments - made me feel good. 170cm tall, did have blonde hair (but now not much), hazel eyes, do like comfortable clothes. I guess my face is more angular, but an average nose. Great fun.

Comment: I totes agree with you on the preggo fear!

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome gnome art work! Wow- it's really good! :)

Comment: HOLY COW. I am totally floored by this envelope. I can't stop staring at it, the colors are gorgeous. This is seriously the best mail art (maybe even one of the best swaps?) I've gotten since I joined this website. I don't understand how you got such vibrant colors using watercolor, you're a freaking magician. sdjfhgdfrejhgfjhg I STILL CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT. Also, I loved the card and the poem, and I've pinned the little mushroom to my purse. Also also, I love your handwriting. AHH I love this swap so much, thank you!

Comment: Loved the fun and colourful bookmarks! Your handwriting and art style (the envelope!) are most unusual! Thanks so very much.

Comment: Thanks so much for the pretty mail art ;) the postcard was pretty cool too

Comment: Loved the postcard. It made me laugh! Just too weird. Thank you very much.

Comment: TKS Melissa for the swap I rec'd...So talented you are-I adore the pin you made and painted and will charish it. I also appreciate your kind words-that is MUCH appreciated TOO!!!! You put a smile on my face :)

Comment: Love my AF Dotee and the story of the fish on the back. I can't wait to share the story with friends.

Comment: Thanks I liked reading about you !
