Comment: Hello Sandra, Thanks for the great bird card. I never knew that troglodyte meant hole dweller! I thought it was a made up word like ginormous or something. Your envelope is great - any kind of bird theme is OK. Sometimes i keep the envies to use them as pockets in journals or i might tear them up and use them in collages - it depends what happens after they have been thru the postal service. That was some awesome fussy cutting on yours! I like to use old pages from a bird book that i am pulling apart and make them into the envelopes.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks also for the dragons! Happy year of the dragon! 🐲🐉🐲🐉🐲
Response: I'm very happy you're pleased with what I sent - thanks for your great comment and ❤️ rating; great swap - I love birds!

Comment: Hi Sandra! Thank you for all the postcards! Great choices. Just got back from Florida - didn’t see any manatees sadly, but did see lots of rain LOL! I have people watched in many places! Can be interesting for sure. 😆 Enjoyed reading your note and I’m happy we were partners!!! ——-> I was in Florida when the hurricane hit! 😅
Response: Rain in Sunny Florida? I guess we're all getting it :) Thanks for the nice comment and ❤️ rating - glad we were partners, too! ---- OH! that's very different from what we had!! 🥺

Comment: Received the coin today. I love it, so cute and creative. Thank you for the tags. I used to have trouble with size when I had a printer. My scream was huge and all tbe stuff on the scream was baffling to me. Thanks a bunch for the cute coin.

Comment: Sandra! As always, thanks for hosting these swaps. I love the Hummingbird you sent ..he looks like the one that the Nature Conservancy sends on their envelopes! The mixed media you used really shows it off nicely! I also love the colors you chose for the fern one. And, you're right... the white splatters are better! Thanks for taking the time to send such wonderful atcs. Hopefully I'll be back to join again soon. 🤞
Response: Back? I'm sure you will be - I'm not hosting this in August, so have fun wherever you'll be and you can look forward to 9 and 10 in Sept! Thanks for your wonderful comment, and ❤️ rating :)

Response: Thanks, Linda - I've always liked that postcard. Hope to receive an altered pc from you one day, but will look forward to the scav. hunt. Thanks for the heart! You people in FL won't believe how hot it is here this summer (probably not as hot as there, though, lol).

Comment: Sandra, nice job on the ATCs! I can't believe you rushed them. excellent doodle flowers-i need to try some! Card 5 of spades, looks more like it's part of the opposites FDC 1 - #31 & 32. Very pretty with the yellow texture paste and the bird stands out really well. If you find yourself in the same predicament...just pm or email me and let me know you will be a few days late... as long as I know, I'm good with that. Thanks for the beautiful atcs 😀

Comment: Lol! I got your lovely theme compliant index card & love what you did. However, being less than cognizant of the new computereze, I used a UPC code in my swap rather than a QR code. I will know what a QR code is after this! 🤪
Response: My partner did, too; I think using what you have is important, so I've added that into the swap description - so happy you like what I made you and for joining something new :)

Comment: Hey gf, got the cards. I hate to say it, but you had more trouble than you think. I can't read the number or suit on either one! Wasn't it decided that ghost would be visible for these swaps? I've always thought it was, so I always send mine thatway...even though Shana says it doesn't matter. The mushroom one is beautiful...wish the mushroom was smaller so I could see more background on it though. what I can see is pretty! Pink and all 😆 lol. I didn't have 6 buttons, so I used some round, puffy, iridescent dots from the dollar tree. It came out nice, and "almost" like hers! The elephants are adorable. I've heard of pink elephants, and blue elephants, but never yellow! There should be more yellow elephants in the art world!! That's some seriously wide mushroom washi tape!! I don't think I've ever seen any that wide. would have made my atc easier!! I totally understand your frustrations. I've had to use brand new cards sometimes because I've messed them up so badly! thank goodness for 5 Below (the decks I sent you that Lloyd confiscated!). I have one that I use for "mess ups". Thanks for sticking with them and getting them to me! Here's hoping the next round will be easier 🙂🙏
Response: Thanks for much for the heart rating, Leslie - sending you a message :)

Comment: All three of my Christmas coins are wonderful...thank you for your attention to detail, Sandra! My favorite bit is the crocheted edging on the mittens coin...but I'm betting you knew that already! And poor little Axel! I wonder how much money the vintage Santas collect each holiday season...it can't be enough! I know it's a weird analogy, but the "lights" coin reminds me of a photograph I saw of Prince Harry and the dreadful woman he married, walking into a building with a large umbrella in the rain, with all the photographer's lights behind, beside, and in front of them...probably the most magical photo I have ever seen of them. I can't wait to see this month's coiins!
Response: I don't think I've ever seen that picture you're referring to (I'm not a follower), but it does sound magical. I'm always happy to hear which one is a favourite, too. Yes, you're right - I can only imagine how many crying children there must be for all the Santa's to put up with, lol. Thanks for being a wonderful partner :)

Comment: Sandra... the Surreal image you sent me is great. I love the dress, and huge flowers (pink is ok, not as good as purple, but still ok!!) Th huge flowers are really neat and add to the surreal loo of the entire ournal card. The poor girl though, she's got quite an ugly face, eh? Haha 🤪 Thanks for creating and sending.. I love it 🙂 Did your friend get a favorable response from the airlines for suggesting those horrible accomodations? If your like me, those bug bites are completely gone yet... here's to cortisone and calamine lotions - Cheers! 🍾
Response: Glad you like the surreal woman! Yes, the bites have lessened their itch, thanks. Thanks for the heart rating, my friend :)

I'm envious of your Cuba vacation but not so much about the foot of snow upon returning home. Sweet of your husband to take care of the shoveling though! Hope you had a relaxing weekend in the warmth of your home!
Response: I'm glad you're happy with what I've sent you - such a nice comment - it's still snowing (albeit with some nice days in between). Yes, it's always nice to be home, isn't it?

Comment: How fascinating ! Here in France only doctors can take the ATLS course in their 3rd year of studies. I have the dumb AFGSU 2 certificate and I would actually LOVE to study first-aid more ! Unfortunately nurses don't have a better certificate.. Anyway thank you so much for your letter and for this amazing Oppenheimer postcard ! B&W postcards have something special to them, right ? Have a nice day ! :)
Response: I absolutely love it when somebody tells me what they especially liked in a swap - how could I have known the Oppenheimer pc would be that one? I didn't, of course, but am so pleased you let me know. Nurse Practitioner's in Canada are "almost" doctors and there are Physician Extenders (Assistants) who can also take ATLS. I'm afraid I don't know what AFGSU means.

Comment: Sandra, these are simply adorable...all of them! My absolute favorite is the gingerbread cookie missing a couple of bites...what a clever use of a little scalloped punch! I love and appreciate all the ways you made these special...the dimensional aspects, the Glossy Accents accents...all of it! The glue held beautifully, and I use cardboard with glossy finishes all the time without sanding them or using anything other than Art Glitter Glue, and I've never had a problem...at least, not that anyone has ever shared with me. Put the pizza box issue behind you...it was a petty and small-minded non-issue that someone made into an issue, if you know what I mean. Someone with no concept of how such a criticism would be hard for the recipient to shake. I've lost track of the number of times I've glued something onto a swap item after finding it in the bottom of the envelope, or how often I've paid insufficient postage fees, etc. I have no idea how many times my swap partners have covered for me this way, but I know there have to have been some occasions. I choose to trust that we (the swapping community) are friends as well as swap partners, and I feel better for it.
Response: Your kind and thoughtful comments make your partners feel special, Donetta, thank you.

Our temperatures are in the 70s this week, the grass is starting to grow already and the cherry blossom trees are blooming. I hope you get some heat headed your way to melt all your snow. Thanks so much for the amazing ATCs!!!
Response: You're lucky to live in an area where spring comes so early - we're still covered in snow. Thinking of moving to BC - much better weather there! Glad you like the l'il fellow with wings. Wonderful comment and rating :)

I've own both of the books you mention and if that's your jam, totally recommend these sci-fi peppered with humour - and I'm only recommending the audiobooks because the narrator(s) are brilliant. The Kaiju Preservation Society, Starter Villain by John Scalzi; Columbus Day (Expeditionary Force, #1) by Craig Alanson and lastly, We Are Legion, We Are Bob by Dennis Taylor. xxMuggleMom

Comment: Awesome job! What adhesive did you use? That is often the hardest part for me. So smooth and clean!!
Response: That's a tough question - I have three I use all the time. Elmer's All Purpose Glue stick, Alene's Clear Gel Tacky glue and Art Glitter glue. I know it wasn't the Art Glitter glue, and I know I'd want to use something really good, so it was probably the Alene's. Glad you like the pc! Hope to see you in the next one - I'm hosting :)

Comment: Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for the beautiful Santa collages! I'm going to keep it out on my desk for the season. I wish I had lived in another country when I was younger, but I'm trying to make up for it now. Can you speak German? I only know one phrase in German (besides the usual "hello" and "thank you" type stuff), and it's an insult. Not very helpful. lol
Response: What a nice compliment, to know that you're keeping it out for the season! No, I'm afraid we lived on a base - we WERE taught French in school, but I didn't retain much of it, even after 11 years. One of the first things we learned to say in Germany was "Nix verstain" or I don't understand (it's not spelled that way and it's definitely not pronounced like that, either, lol.

Comment: I love your vintage Santa coins, Sandra!! And they are just what I needed - my husband and I have decided to just get a small tree and just use a few non-breakable ornaments on it this year. (Our daughter and her two cats and dog will be spending the holidays with us)! These ornaments would make great tags for presents, too, but I don't want to give them away!!! Thank you!! Good luck with your cleaning and step building! I also hope we can swap often in the new year!! Take care!!
Response: I'm glad I came up with something you can use; small trees are a good thing. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and rating :)

Just asked a friend for some buttons for the next one. We don't celebrate Boxing day here. Although, when I was young, that was about the day we took our tree down 🙂

Comment: Making surreal collages has become one of my new favorite things to do! I have been making glue books for years now as a form of my amusement and find I do tend to go a little absurd in my compositions! I like you dinosaur movie theatre theme. Outdoor movies were the best-we used to pile in a car and go thirty miles to see one when we were younger. The first movie I saw at the theater was an Elvis movie-Blue Hawaii-my older sister was babysitting me and had to take me along with her friends! I was pretty young and hated the movie and even at that young age thought Elvis was being "mean" to women and to this day don't like Elvis movies! We had one tiny snow a couple weeks back but it has gone now. But it's still chilly out and its just a matter of time before it comes back. I don't mind the snow it's the cold I don't like. Take care-I know you have already had your Thanksgiving in Canada so just Happy Fall!
Response: What a great comment - I love getting long ones! I guess I was acclimated to Elvis' movies - I never even noticed his attitude when I saw his movies when I was younger. You were ahead of your time; good for you! I'm with you - it's the cold I'm not crazy about... still nice out but the snow is supposed to be back today. I'm very happy you're loving doing surreal collage :)

Comment: Your coins arrived today! Thank you so much, and for the extras too. I especially like the $2 coin! I actually don't live in Tumwater, that's just where I get my mail, I live in Olympia on the waterfront. You wouldn't like it here, as it rains for about 9 months, ha! But it's usually just a light rain, and we have many words to describe it depending on what it's doing. Such as misty, drizzly, drippy, scattered showers, rain followed by showers, and showers followed by rain, and it's always "overcast with a chance of showers". Those of us who live here actually know the difference, Lol. We comment on the degree of brightness on an overcast day. None of it stops us from enjoying outdoor activities, and we only use umbrellas as part of a Halloween costume. BUT... all that precipitation is why everything grows so big, and so lush, and such rich shades of green. But it did take me several years to get used to it! The short dark days bother me a lot more than the rain does. Ok, that's enough of a rant about the rain. I did eventually get used to it. :-)
Response: In Hope we were right in the middle of mountains, so it RAINED - I never got used to it. I loved the rain (or the misty drizzle) in Hawaii, though, so I might like Olympia! Glad you like the coins - maybe the US will replace your small bills one day.

Comment: So great to have you as my sending partner in your latest surreal collage swap. Thanks for your fun collage, the bonus space ship pic & the much appreciated US stamps. Just when I was about to give up hope, I found a small place to live in Gainesville. Lease starts 6/1, but it may take me until July to get fully moved in as I have no furniture, not even a bed. I'll be going back & forth between here & there untilI get settled (a 2 1/2 hour drive), so I am taking a hiatus from swapping until the move is complete. I'll let you know my new address once I'm there full time. Also spending the 2nd week in July back in Fort Myers to see 5 different doctors & have some tests done. All I really want to do is take some fun road trips! Enjoy your campsite visits and your gardening. Wish I could come visit!
Response: I'm happy to hear you've found a place - Facebook Marketplace might be a place to get some furniture for the interim; wish I could help you out, but I'm sure your friends will continue to assist you. Good luck with your physician visits - it'd be so much better to come and visit here instead! Thinking of you ;)

Response: Whew! I wonder what happened to it - I can imagine the postal person dropped it on the road, stepped on it, then let a car run over it? I'm glad it's okay. I loved the trick for rolling the papers; I'll have to remember that one :)

Thank you for enclosing the nice personalized letter! Regarding AFA - I highly recommend participating in ATART (all types of art) athons where people are chatting, creating and trading over the same time frame. You do direct trades for cards you request - no bad surprises. The chatting is fun. There's an ATART athon coming up Feb 9-15. CTOs are cancelled to order stamps that some collectors do not like, but I'm happy to use them in my artwork. Thanks again for the trade. I'll keep an eye on your upcoming group swaps to join : )

Comment: I loved looking at your pictures and reading your comments about them. Like you, we have lots of decorations and things that go back years -- things my children made (and my youngest is now 45 years old!), the nativity scene we bought in Sardinia which includes a turtle coming up to see the Baby Jesus, the now rather battered Santa Claus ornaments that were on my mother's childhood tree. Your pictures and text gave a real sense of that kind of family tradition. Thank you for sharing it!
Response: Glad it brought back memories for you. My daughter mentioned this Xmas that none of the ornaments are ones she remembers from her childhood! I can't imagine where they went (or why I don't have some of the ones from my childhood, for that matter). I'd love to see a turtle coming up to see Baby Jesus :)

Comment: Hello Sandra, I loved your PC and your letter. I love your discussion about the units. Ha! I live in Michigan now, but I grew up in Brazil where metric system is used. When I moved 6 years ago I made myself use the imperial system but I still forget how many ounces in a pound of fl oz in a pint. Metric system is much easier because everything is based on 10. Anyway, I did not know Canada had Imperial System before, which make sense. And I agree, that when you grew up with one unit system and needs to live with another on a daily basis it's tricky. Weather in Michigan was fine until last week when I was barely wearing a coat. Than winter came and got below 0 C this weekend (25F). We are zone 6, same as Ontario. I cannot imagine how hard it is in a zone 3 weather. Remenber, I grew up in a place where people would die from cold when temps went below 50F (~10C). Funny how we get use to change even though we think we don't.
Response: I worked with someone who came from South America and he was ALWAYS cold, even in the summer! I've heard that your blood gets thicker when you live in a cold place, but apparently that didn't work for him! I know metric is supposed to be easier, but like you say, it's hard to get used to something when you're raised with something else. Thanks for your comment and heart rating :)

Comment: Reading this post card made me so sad :-( I'm going to guess that your parents were created together is true and that the other you mentioned (I don't want to type this here in public view) is false. I really hope that is false.
Response: #2 is true. Sorry it made you sad. Mom and Dad died many years apart, though they were both cremated.

Response: I didn't even notice! I sent this one on Sept 26 and the Oct one on Oct 24! But, I'll say the same thing I did on Oct 13: It's quite different from what I usually do, so I'm very happy to hear that you love it, thank you so much!

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome ATC! Those rectangles must have taken awhile to put on. I actually host an ATC swap every month that requires stickers are used (in a sticker swapping group), so I'm the perfect person to do that with. lol I don't like the white outlines, either, but I definitely think there are stickers that are just as artistic as a die cut or magazine image. Anyway, I love this ATC, and thank you for hosting this swap!
Response: Yes, they took a bit of time; I'm glad I didn't have to do them all! Thanks for your wonderful comment and rating :)

Comment: Oooo, some creepy displays this year. I'm noticing lots of skeletons in 2022 and those huge skeletons are becoming more popular. They make a great impact. I can't believe you've got snow already! I hope it doesn't end up coming this way. I don't get my snow tires on until near the end of November. Thanks for hosting the monthly SCPC swaps!
Response: It's supposed to snow again tomorrow! We can get it at anytime - even in July and August (but that's not common). I love those huge skeletons - thanks for the great comment and heart rating :)

Comment: Thank you for all of these! Those Magic Eye pictures have NEVER worked on me... I've been sitting here looking like a crazy person for 20 minutes moving this postcard around trying to see the image and I still can't, oh well!
Response: The secret is to unfocus your eyes (sort of let your eyes get cross eyed, but not). Let the image get "blurry". Don't try to focus on anything. Stare straight ahead, let your eyes get "tired" - it should become clear. Let me know if I'm making any sense, lol. It's a clock. If it doesn't work, try again later :)

Comment: That's so cool how this ATC coin evolved. I see the crashing waves against the Christmas lighthouse. So intriguing. ...I also like the borealis deer coin in your letter. I was especially happy to read that you got to see a spectacular a. borealis in green. I saw an aurora borealis in white too! I'm way down at latitude N43, you are at N51 so it's cool to know that white is a thing even at higher latitudes. I was so lucky to be out that night (walking my dog). I wasn't sure what I was seeing but had it was confirmed by news reports later. I had no idea they can be white dancing streaks.
Response: I'm amazed that they can be seen in Calgary, whether white OR green. It'd be great to go to the Yukon or NWT to see them in all their spectacularness (is that a word)? I've actually been there, but didn't see any. Maybe it's the time of year? Although I was there in August and again in February - this wasn't recently. 🤷‍♀️

I hope you finish up your trellis and shed next spring so your clematis have something nice to climb up on. :) P.S. I love the collage-work envelope you made for the ATC.
Response: I should have made sure I took a shot of an elongated shadow of myself (I agree, they're the best, lol)! I hope we get that playhouse down next spring, too. If the weather stays nice, I'll try to get the clematis cut down this w/e. Thanks for another nice comment and rating, Rome :)

Comment: I'm so impressed with your Truth and Reconciliation Day ATC. I love the children in indigenous clothing happily playing on the beach, the salmon and the paper feathers. Beautiful. I just got the book "The Inconvenient Indian" by Thomas King last week. (FYI I sometimes walk past Thomas King's house - it's a nice house by the river close to downtown). Last week I went to a lunchtime virtual session with an Indigenous Student's group at the university. I'm going to have a closer look at a CBC resource they told us about https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform-single/beyond-94 and I just downloaded a copy of "They Call Me Number One" from the library. Thanks for the recommendation.
Response: I can't express how happy I am with this comment. I'll look at that CBC resource, too - thanks for pointing it out to me. I'd love to be able to walk by Mr. King's house (I'd always hope to see him). Thanks for being so curious and open. Please let me know what you think of those books. Thanks for liking my ATC and for the heart, but most of all thanks for signing up for a swap that really meant something to me. 🦌

In 2018, I was lucky enough to spend 2 months in Europe. I also brought back coins, my back pack was pretty weighted down by the time I came home 😅 Thankfully, I was prepared and had packed three empty coin collecting books to keep everything organized in my bag.

Bombay (now Mumbai) and Madras (now Chennai) were my stomping grounds, although most of my time was spent in small villages or wild places. Also especially love that book-reading raven card and the extra "If it itches" one. Tee hee. Everything brought many much-needed smiles. Thanks so much, Sandra.

Comment: Sandra, thank you for the beautiful note in the gorgeous card. I love the postcards you have chosen and you are very blessed to have traveled so much. Ah, to have some land to camp in would be a dream. I often dream of living in Northern California, Oregon or Washington just for such beauty but I am NOT a fan of snow or the cold, so I'll just have to stay here in SoCal and go camping in the desert, beach or mountains. :) As we get older, it's harder and harder to find friends who will "Tent camp" with me - so I don't get to go very often, but when I do, I love it! Take care and have a beautiful day.
Response: Thank YOU for such a nice comment. I'm not much for tenting anymore, and I'm pretty tired of the cold where I live (it snowed the past couple of days, but is beautiful out today), but I love our camping spot. I guess I should become a snowbird, lol. Thanks for the heart rating :)

Comment: Thank you again for such a great set of cards. I love how you make them all the same, but different with different focal points and sentiments. I already have in mind who I want to send the one with a dragonfly on to...

Comment: Thanks for the awesome PC!! I don't think I mention in my profile, but I love moose! We named our ranch "Lost Moose Ranch" after a resident female we have named Charlotte. It is such a weird spring, our land went from being super wet to being super dry. We are really hoping it rains a bit more and the wildfires take a break for the season. Have you started your garden yet? I'm hoping to get a few trees planted this month as those should survive a late frost if we have one. Hope all is well with you, thanks again for the card and thank-you for hosting:)
Response: I just checked and you don't have moose as a fave animal - and that was the postcard that instigated the swap, so it's great that you like it (and that you have a place called Lost Moose)! I have started the garden (peas, spinach, carrots, radishes, etc). The filing cabinets are being placed as I speak (better get out there). Hope you write back :)

Comment: Thanks for the postcards and the bonus bookstore postcard! You asked if I keep a list of books that I've read - I started to a few years ago, by author in an address book. :) Like you though, I don't make a note of what the book is about, so I don't usually remember how it ends.
Response: I figure at least I'll be able to google the book and find out if I remember it, lol. I might start at least jotting a few things down that might jog my memory. Thanks for answering my question and rating me with a heart :)

Comment: Thanks for the package SD! Everything is so cool including the mailart style envelope. The tissue technique on the ATC works so well, I will have to try tissue. It gives the image a gossamer quality. The handmade postcard is wonderful. You really have a knack for collage work and you have a nice collection of cool stamps. Also thanks so much for the black columbine seeds! 🤗
Response: haha, I had to look up "gossamer" - you're right, I can see that effect on the ATC! I'm glad you like the ATC, the pc and the seeds (great idea to spread them around; hope they all sprout).

Comment: Very cool. On the glossy paper, it almost looks like a photo. I'm impressed with the ink. Very fluid. The ripples of ink look great. My immediate impression is 2 kidneys attached to the spinal column. The layers of fluid ink also make it look like some weird tiny creature viewed through a microscope lens.

Your black columbine flowers on the coin are amazing. I have wild columbine in my yard but these are so different. The length of the thin stem holding up those large bells is very eye-catching. If I find black columbine in the local nurseries I'm going to buy some. You should definitely host a "Harbingers of Spring" swap. 👍🏻

Comment: I really like your abstract ATC. You have an eye for abstract--the colours, the lines. Very nice. I also loved reading your letter. It's so interesting to read about hearing loss and sign language in your family. Regarding the weather, geez it's cold where you are. Much colder than here but I expect the cold weather will be heading this way. Today it was sunny and -2C--practically sweater weather. ☀️ The rest of the week is unseasonably mild. But it's far to early to hope for this to last. I expect we'll get a few double-digit negative temp days in the next 6 weeks. P.S. Thank you for calling me an artist. 😊

Comment: Thank you for the ATC. I loved the gem for the eye - very clever! Thank you for the fun letter that accompanied it. I actually microwave my ice cream and M&Ms as different dishes. I don't like super cold ice cream (prefer a creamy moat around it - lol) and I don't like the hard chocolate in M&Ms so microwaving them makes the chocolate really smooth. Try it - SO yummy!!
Response: You're welcome - glad you enjoyed the ATC and reading the letter! Mmm, your idea for the ice cream and M&Ms sounds good - I will try it :)

And all the bits and pieces are very securely at their places, so no worries!

Comment: Thank you for your pc choices. My father in law also has diabetes and is on dialysis. After discussions with other immunocompromised relatives, we still decided we'd rather spend the holidays together than have the regrets later. We're all pretty much of the same mind that we're all going to go sometime and that one last hug from Grandpa is how we'll want to remember him, not through a video or a window. It turned out to be a great choice, probably one of the best holidays we've had in years because we've really come to appreciate what we have this year. I hope you and yours are remaining safe and healthy and you had a joyful holiday season, and that the new year is filled with love and success for you and yours.
Response: That's so great to hear; I wish the same for you and yours. Thanks so much for your heartfelt comment - have a wonderful New Year!

I love that you sent me the ghost to add to the ATC if I want to. The ghost escaping the smokey flames made me chuckle. Re: camping, I have tent camped. The last time was 2019. If I do it again I'd love an RV. Maybe my niece will let me borrow her cute Boler trailer. P.S. I love that loud siren idea, coupled with the cameras makes for a fun video to watch later. 😄

Comment: Thank you for the postcards. I too like Apples to Apples, but when drinking is involved or we are feeling saucy, the CAD decks come out, heehee. I am not much of a coffee drinker either - hot cocoa is always a good thing. Hope you are well - take care and be safe!
Response: Thanks for the comment and rating (isn't drinking always involved with any type of games?) lol

Comment: THese are AWESOME! I love the vasectomy one a LOT. I need to look up this book. I find a lot of 90s postcards are so bizarre and funny. The aircraft carrier card is super interesting to me since I recently transcribed a vet who served at Yokosuka Naval Base. The koi is lovely. Thank you for such a thoughtful swap! :):):) Hope y'all are hanging in there.
Response: I'm so glad the cards were ones that resonated with you - what a fascinating experience to transcribe a vet's memories! Thank you for a great comment and heart rating :)

Comment: Thanks for the PC! Sorry about this rating being late, not sure how I didn't save it last month. I have often wondered if there is a wall-calendar that shows all the different "days", I completely missed "food on a stick" day, although I just checked online and today is "draw a picture of a bird" day & "National Empanada" Day (and of course Holy Wednesday, among others). Hope you are keeping well and are not experiencing the TP shortage of 2020!!
Response: I'm just glad you got it! Mmm, that would be an interesting calendar - maybe there is one (we'll have to google it)! I'm just fine, thanks very much :)

Comment: Great to get mail from you, & I agree, it's been way too long. Enjoyed your letter & all the interesting comments about the delightful postcards you chose. Love the holiday you made up! By coincidence I just placed an order for more Trouble Birds cards - but their confirmation msg informed me that they had just closed their warehouse due to the virus so no cards would be shipped until who-knows-when. So now that I can't go to the library or thrift stores or flea-markets or farmer's markets I should be able to sit down & write you a catch-up letter. Stay tuned, and stay well. Belated birthday greetings to Loyd.
Response: Ohhh, BOY - a letter from you? I'd consider that a heart event! Our libraries are also closed, and I'm on my last book (can you believe the last one I picked up - that I ordered, I've already read - and not that long ago), so I'll have to start re-reading the old books I've saved in boxes, or raid every "Little Library" I see on the street, lol.

Comment: Thanks for the cards, the Snow White Christmas card & best of all your fun letter. It's Thanksgiving Day here & I just opened a bottle of good Prosecco - my only nod to celebration! While everyone else is eating turkey I'm whipping up a solo feast of made-from-scratch Thai food while trying not to think about H & abandonment. In answer to your questions: my idea of paradise is uninhabited (or barely-habited) islands in tropical seas, jungles in India or rainforests in So. America - all of which may exist as Edens only in my memory as mass tourism spreads like a plague. And yes, I have seen many seahorses in Florida waters - usually small & oh so delicate & beautiful beyond belief. This has been far too long for a "comment." Hope you're staying calm in the midst of the family madness!
Response: I second your idea of paradise! You probably also hate when tourist magazines extol the virtues of uninhabited places, knowing that they'll be overrun. I'd love to see a seahorse in the wild. I love your comments, love to hear from you and what is happening in your life. I might avert the family madness - my husband agrees that maybe it just shouldn't happen - whew!

Can that pc really go through the mail system with the flies on it. I’d love to send it to my grandson. I enjoyed the swap very much, thank you for hosting. ❤️
Response: Glad you love them both! I think I'd send the pc in an envelope - pretty sure that would be a good way to free the flies ☺️ . You could still write on it, of course. Thanks for much for the hearts!

I remember reading an interview with Roald Dahl where he talked a lot about how children are naturally morbid and he liked to write with that in mind. I'd love to see pics of your grandson!

Thanks so much and may the mail gods smile on you in the future and ensure delivery! :):):)

I too was raised first-generation Canadian in Toronto. I'm putting the Miriam Toews book on my to-read list. I read her book "A Complicated Kindness" and liked it. The other book I put on my to-do list is 'Educated'. There's a long list of holds so it must be good.

I really appreciated the note you sent with it. Yes I do photocopy everything I make and keep them in a notebook with the swaps instructions. Then when I get karma from that person I print out their karma and paste it on the page. Makes it complete and fun to look back on(can you tell I'm a Libra). I too would do two of each swap I sent out when I first started but that was time consuming. The flip books and 3D things I make I take a video on my camera of it. Take care and thanks for sharing

June, July, August usually is the best weather to visit Kodiak. Be prepared to add a couple days for weather on each leg of your visit. We can have bright sunny weather on our side of the island, and it be 0/0 visibility on the other side. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: It'll def give you an idea of the subway, but there are better ones when you get here (natch). Thanks for the hint about the best time to visit; our cruise was in September, so it was a bit wet! :)

Response: WHAT? I just sent this on the 17th!!! I wish all the mail would be so quick; I didn't even put it in a Xmas card, since I figured it'd be way past Dec 25 before you got it. Some friends of ours just came back from BC - their ferry was cancelled to the Island, too (but they got across), AND it took 12 hours to get to Kamloops because they were blasting for avalanches. The Trip From Hell is what they're calling it! Thanks for the good wishes - we'll watch out for Mike, lol!

Canada Post was picky if postal code was incorrect and return back to you, instead of correcting it. Perhaps that dealt with the frustration of the past strike. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Comment: OMG these are so beautiful! I've always wondered how well the stamps and die sets work, and these prove they work VERY WELL! So did you stamp the image and then cut it, or vice versa? I thought I would probably do the shape cutting first, because I'd be afraid the die would move and wreck my colored-in stamp. Anyway, thank you so much, these are just adorable!
Response: I use Washi tape to keep the die still while it goes through my Sizzix, but I did stamp the image, ran it through the Sizzix, then coloured them afterwards, which was kind of nerve wracking because it was a small image. I think having lots of paper around the image might give you a bit more confidence in staying within the lines. I thank you for your wonderful comment and heart rating :)

I definitely swap a LOT less than I used to, and I can only assume that the average person doesn't even bother sending snail mail at all unless they have to.)
Response: Glad you like what I sent, and you're right, too. If I didn't have SB, I probably wouldn't use snail mail. Just email. Even Xmas cards aren't sent as much as they were.

Response: Oh, those rotten Siamese cats, lol - we've been watching that movie again, with our 2.5 y.o. grandson! It's just in their nature to watch something smaller than them move around, isn't it? I'm glad you like the Coin; thanks for giving me your thoughts and, of course, for your very nice rating.

Thank you also for the cute little card with the lovely birds in it! I've not seen anything like them before and can't wait for a special project to use them on! I've not seen chipmunks around here, but if they ever show up, I'll definitely be feeding them as well as they birds! Thanks for a wonderful swap!!!

Great cards and thanks also for the remarkable bicycle images! (I, too, reclaim lovely cardstock backs -- saves $$ and trees!)
Response: I really enjoy writing them, Shirley, though at times I must be repeating myself! I agree with you - more interesting to get cards of local places you might not have heard of and may be closer so you can actually visit it! Glad you like the bike images, too :)

Comment: Thank you so much for this fantastic ATC! I really appreciate the letter you included, telling me all about Overbye. I had never heard her story before. I cant imagine what would drive some one to do such horrible things but i would bet it stems from intense childhood trauma as is with many killers. I also do not only dress my boys in blues. They have been wearing pink items of clothes for years. It’s never been important to me to guide their color choices and other choices towards what the world has deemed “masculine” . They both have loved princess and My Little Ponies, sparkly and cute things, baby dolls and such. None of these interests were guided either. Children love bright, colorful and sparkly things and should never be made to feel like that is wrong because of their gender. Thank you so much for sharing with me. Also, thank you for sending her side view portrait. I will definitely be using it for a future Seriel Killer ATC. Maybe we will be partners again!
Response: Thanks for doing that for your boys! It frees them to be themselves, and to decide FOR themselves what they like. I hope that school doesn't change their likes (ha). It WOULD be nice to receive from you - I wouldn't even mind Overbye again, lol. Thanks for a wonderful comment and rating!
