Comment: Thanks for the patterns!

Comment: 1,000 HEARTS!!!! You are one class act! The minute I saw your long, hand-written note, I knew you were a winner! Personal stories steal my heart always. Thank you for taking the time. This daisy chain (that's wrapped around my neck - may seldom come off) is fabulous! AND it's made by you! Both dollies are stunning - love the history they speak to me. The hairclip is soo me - you were intuitive about that. I am soo sorry your 1st send got waylaid - if it ever shows up at my door, I'll let you know. You've been more than generous and have gone above & beyond your swap responsibilities. Thank you for the wonderful things and thank you for your kindness.

Comment: Thank you so much for the great package! I love all the postcards and its funny you mentioned the Amelia Peabody series because I've been wanting to read them for some time now. I'm def. going to check them out now!! Thanks again and Happy Swapping!

Comment: I wish I could give you more than one heart! Thank you SO much for the super cute stuffie for my little one. It's just awesome! ♥

Comment: Perfect timing-- your package arrived as I was steeping my afternoon tea! The spelt chocolate chip cookies were delicious, and I look forward to trying the ginger tea. The tea wallet is adorable. I'm going on a trip in a couple weeks, and it'll be great for taking along an emergency tea supply. ;D Thank you so much!

How in the world did you find a blue glass turtle ornament?! I always appreciate upcycled envies, and my family actually visited Sea World a couple years ago...coincidence? I think not. Thanks so much for the Brilliant Bounty of Blueness!

Comment: Absolutely love that this came with a matching pocket protector!! :D

Comment: Thank for the cute letter sets! I love the black and white water landscape, and the map of Nevada envelope is neat, too. Great idea re: using portions of map for the paper, too! I have a couple pen pals who'll get a kick out of that. ;D

Comment: Thank you for sharing about your weekly RAK's!! I will check out the link about sending that card....perhaps that will be this coming week's RAK or one of them for me at least!!!! And I think that is a great idea! I know a while back when I had kidney failure and a bunch of my online live journal friends did a whole bunch of cool stuff for me, it meant a lot to me!!!! It's a neat thing when people you've never met in person...and some you don't know at all, contribute to help someone in need or even just to do something nice to cheer a sick person up!!!! <333
