Comment: Welcome back to pen palling Great letter and decorations. I am going to order a Philly cheesesteak hoagie. Glad I was your first swap

Comment: Thank you so much for the roadrunner PC! He's actually cute, isn't he. I have never seen a live one but the card makes me think of my father. The Roadrunner was his favorite cartoon. He never laughed out loud, he snickered. I can still hear him now. Hugs, Diane

Comment: Thank you so much for the postcard :)

Comment: I love all the washi and the eyeglass paperclips. And thanks for the yellow floral shaped sticky notes! :) Love it!

 

Comment: Thank you so much for the card...so sorry for the late rate...You definitely deserve a star for this swap...thank you so much again from me and my son!

Comment: Thanks! Loved it all!

Comment: thx a lot !

Comment: Thank you for the good wishes :) same to you (happy birthday - whenever in october it is) - and thank you for the extras (love the "good earth" one)

Comment: Fantastic mermaid card, thank you! It was very thoughtful of you to include the vintage halloween fabric and typewriter card. Best wishes to you on your October birthday!

Comment: This is truly a wonderful package! I love the mug rug and the extra fabric. Violet adores her doll quilt. It is sooo cute. Even my husband commented on how cute it is :) You did an amazing job and I look forward to swapping again with you in the future. Thanks so much!!!

Comment: Thank you for the great ATC! And for the note inside, what a relief, and good luck!

Comment: Wow! The fish is SO GORGEOUS! I can't believe someone created this especially for me. I am totally overwhelmed with how much I love the fish. It's a work of art! And the matching square mini quilt is also so beautiful. I really love the colors and patterns you used in these!! Also can't wait to try all the fun bath products and candies that you sent! Another perk about the new boyfriend that I don't think I told you... his apartment has an amazing HUGE bathtub!! Like I'm swimming around in it! So I am loving baths ;) Before I got the package I was telling myself I shouldn't be giving you a five plus heart for a swap sent so late, but this is one of the best swaps I've ever received so it's getting a heart anyway!

Comment: Awesome tangles, thanks

Comment: WOW - what a wonderful swap package. I really like your zentangle. Spirals are hard to do and you expertly took your patterns from large to very small. I find that a good pen (Microns or Copic multiliners) and good paper (I usually use Bristol) make for easy drawing and dark lines (although that teal cardstock is beautiful). You achieved good dark lines but I'm sure that paper was a challenge. I can't begin to describe how gorgeous the little bags are. I will be honored to use the dragonflies for my zentangle pens! And I will have to make some business cards for the little owl folder. The morning glories are perfect. Excellent swap! <3<3<3

Comment: Loved your 7 things!!!!!

Comment: Amazing PC,really amazing!!!!!very cool love it don't stop making them!!!!

Comment: What a lovely ATC. Your line work is precise and true. I like what you did with the little dots on Voxter. It was a nice addition. I have seen Wigwam and Warpped Eggs but have never used them. Your Warts and Wobbles is a lot prettier then it's name. The Vache execution looked like you had measured between the sections, very nicely done. Of course your Versa was nicely done also. Somehow I think your quilting experience has influence you Zentangling nicely. The is a great ATC and I am proud to add it to my collection. Thank you for a great swap. By the way I love my jelly bean envelope.;-D

Comment: I sure like the bookmark, Shannon ~ and that's a very nice note card you made. Thank you for what you've created and for the teas. Looking forward to trying the lime as citrus flavours are one of my favourites. Thanks so much for joining my swap :o)

Comment: Oh. My. Gosh! Wow! You flat out rocked this swap! OK, first off, I love all the wonderful book pages and old books. Those will get lots of use! The postcards and used stamps are very much welcome, as well as the yummy teas (lime, yay!). The rusty bits are very cool (I can never get enough of rusty stuff!). I think my favorite item is the grocery bag holder. Your sewing skills are amazing, seriously! I *love* the fabrics you chose, they are perfectly me! And to top the whole thing off, you used bacon tape! Ha! Love that. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful swap, hon! You went above and beyond. Thanks for swapping with me! :D

Comment: The card is really nice. Thank you.

Comment: Beautiful card! It was very nicely laid out and the pen work was meticulous. Proud to add it to my collection. Thanks!

Comment: Thanks for my yummy teas, great bookmark and sweet valentine note card, loved everything.

Comment: Thanks for your nice collage.

Comment: Thank you so much...really did like your ATC.

Comment: Thank you so much, the card is lovely, and will be a great addition to my small collection. The trim and note card will alos be put to good use, thanks again!

Comment: That bacon tape is bizarre. When I opened the package locker, for a second I honestly thought someone had sent me a package that was leaking out blood at the seams. I guess that shows how deranged my mind is! I have never seen bacon tape, it cracked me up when I realized what it was, hehe!! What a great package! I just love the grocery bag holder... I love that fabric you made it out of! I reuse the bags for cat poop, and other stuff too! I am using them right now as little tarps to put under my decoupage projects so they don't get glued to everything. I should have known you'd send me something litter box related! Your zentangle ATC is gorgeous! It's the best zentangle ATC in my collection ;) I love the fabrics! Especially the rainbow colored ones and the bright psychedelic patterns. The postcards and stuff are super cool, I love them all! And the little bath products... ooh, I want to jump in a bath right now. XD That cat book has some cool images that I will use! I will totally cut it up and make stuff with it. I was thinking of hosting a swap for making atcs of out random scraps of paper and stuff, maybe I'll use this for those. And the burning man stuff? What!? Have we ever discussed the fact that we are both burners??? How did I not realize you were into that?? Lots of hearts for youuuu YAYYY!!

 

Comment: i LOVE the zen you made! very detailed and pretty! thank you!

Comment: I love the ATC! Where did you find all of your patterns? I did not see some of them on the website listed in the swap description. I would love to have more resources for my tangle patterns.

Comment: nice color.

Comment: Cute collage! Thank you! :)

Comment: Thanks for your lovely little zentangle and the tea and cute envie also! I love drawing zentangle with super fine tip pens. I thought about sending you some tea back, but I drink mostly loose tea and even the tea bags I have are mostly unwrapped. If you're interested in giving Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice a try though, let me know! It's in unwrapped bags.

Comment: Beautiful work!

Comment: Creative space is, in itself, always a work in progress, Shannon. I love how you've included your mom and son - that's the true art of life.

Comment: Thanks for all the pictures! It's great to see a craft space that looks like it's in the middle of being used. We just moved and it's half unpacked and all the shelves aren't up yet, it's one big pile of so much too put away.

Comment: Loved your answers! i don't like tailgaters, either!

Comment: :) that was a lovely and very thoughtful RAK

Comment: Oooh! this is such a fun swap. I am guessing you are terrified of moths. This is because I am very afraid of moths, they always seem to dive bomb me and it creeps me out. I would like to loose weight also, so I will say that also is true. So, I think you were not a private investigator before your child was born! Can't wait to find out what the right answer is!

Comment: Beautiful PC and love the cat sticker!!! I need to get down in that part of the country someday. Thank you very much!!!

Comment: i have helped families in er's that had nothing to entertain children with. I have no children but make frequent trips to er with migraines and I always put color books and crayons in my pocket book. Ok 2 reasons one to help parents two if they are loud and or crying makes headache worse and the color crayons and books always help even if they sick or hurt. I never ask for them back I let the kids keep them sometimes the kids are sick and sometimes its there adult it dont matter they still get to use my stuff.
