Response: You're welcome. That postcard did seem timely.
Response: I'm so glad! I enjoy writing letters. Thank you for your kind comment
Response: You're welcome! The dearth of swaps indicates how it's all going. Things will be busy for a while and I sneak in time to read guidebooks about Scotland.
Response: You're so welcome
Response: You're so welcome. I love sending you mail.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed the freedom of choosing random items.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for your lovely comment and book recommendation. I'm still compiling my books to nominate for next year's reading list. As always it will get long and then shorter when I look at availability in local libraries!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad My Melody landed in such a good home!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy th challenge of sending a good matchup.
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the lovely comment.
Response: You're welcome. I think the tiny sakura cards arrived in a ZenPop box. I ordered a clearance box before I started a subscription. Now I'm picky - I order boxes one at a time, after I know what's in them. Next time I'll aim for something that's more unique!
Response: You're welcome. So close but no signup!
Response: You're welcome. It was nice to meet you, to be my own postal service.
Response: You're welcome. Lou Paper postcards are a treat to send!
Response: I aim to please!
Response: Like you said - these don't often leave my home! I saw your hardscaping project on Fb. It's always nice to improve your footing.
Response: You're welcome! My book club read an excellent biography of Edward Curtis, one of the most prolific photographers. "Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis" by Timothy Egan
Response: You're welcome. I aim to please. 😊
Response: You're welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my letter. I have fun writing these letters and meeting new swappers.
Response: You're welcome. I bought the set of postalettes ages ago and rarely send one. I still have a few left! Postcrossing postcards I receive are my bookmarks, especially in cookbooks.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm on a swapping hiatus again as life is complicated at the moment.
Response: You're so welcome! Yes we do have a lot in common. Summer is an agenda full of slow-going big house projects because we have so much rain, not a bad thing. Scotland in September!
Response: I'm glad you enjoy both - two ratings for two swaps - it all works in the end!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. That was a slow trip to Tennessee!
Response: You're welcome! I'm always happy to read comments with words like adore and awesome.
Response: You're welcome! I mailed the two swaps at the same time.
Response: You're welcome again! The challenge is remembering what I already sent you so I don't send you more of the same!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy making a little pile with a theme. More fun for me than a random selection!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy taping up the envelopes, if I have the time.
Response: You're welcome! We are still in the maelstrom of scheduling with many moving parts!
Response: You're so welcome. I wish I could remember what I sent!
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy to share my great trips!
Response: You're welcome. Sticker sacks don't have as many sticker designs as they use to have so two met the count requirement.
Response: You're welcome. I found those envelopes on Amazon, of course.
Response: Um, Grace, I think you rated me for the wrong swap. I mailed this one to you Monday
Response: You're welcome. Themes come and go and this is not the moment for sushi!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you can use all the stickers. I mowed the lawn this week - I learned that No Mow May to benefit emerging pollinators is an urban legend!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome. I love to use my washi tape.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes and letters.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I have fun choosing postcards for you. TE is from a store in Amsterdam. I'm not quite ready to share the TE Amsterdam postcards I bought. They have lots of little Dutch girls on them.
Response: We have squill, crocuses, and hellebore blooming now!!!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! I'm sure quite a few people haven't heard of sentence diagramming. I'm so glad you like that!
Response: You're welcome. Some of the washi tapes are from Paper Treats. I need to remind myself to hold off on buying more until I'm swaping again.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the lovely comment.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun choosing postcards for you. It'll be a while until I get back to swapping. Friends make sure I have a respite every now and then.
Response: You're welcome! My sister-in-law and I had lunch together today. Not so much a practical planning lunch as it was mutual empathy. I'm the one who says, Let's keep it simple.
Response: You're welcome! I always love sending you swaps.
Response: You're welcome. And there's another envelope headed out to you.
Response: It's always a joy sending to you! I too have a too long to do list. I'm thinking about where I want to go next and am stuck here in MN for a while.
Response: You're welcome. I put washi on both sides figuring the odds are better for it to stay one. One day I'll send myself an envelope to test my theory!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Response: You're so welcome. I've had those mini memo pads forever. I probably bought them from kawaiishopjapan.com thought her selection is quite different now. I've not bought much kawaii recently.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: A trillions welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing letters.
Response: I'm all better thank you. I'm glad I don't need to wear a mask now! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap. I didn't have time to make soft pretzels - maybe pretzel dinner rolls? Life has settled down - we know what's going on and where it's headed.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing letters.
Response: You're welcome. I'm pleased when people tell me they will reuse my washi tape.
Response: You're welcome. I arrived home from Amsterdam last night and I'm catching up. I'm glad both arrived. Yes, I have quite a bit of washi tape... not quite too much!
Response: You're welcome! I aim to please.
Response: You're welcome. I'm seeing more of the world than the US these days.
Response: You're welcome. I'm always glad to share a wonderful trip.
Response: You're so welcome! I have Bauhaus paper too and wanted to send you something else that wasn't from Germany. 😊

Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I strive to please!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived safely.
Response: You're welcome! Enjoy the holiday cheer!
Response: You're welcome! The season is tiny in our home. Last night was the last night of Chanukah. I take up the slack for everyone else who celebrates. I enjoy all the cheer and kindness of the season.
Response: Thank you so much for your kind comment. I appreciate that you noticed my attention to details!
Response: You're welcome. I thought the challenge of shorter days might resonate with you. In the summer it's still light after 9am. Are you taking vitamin D? It helps in the fall when days are getting shorter, until the spring when they are longer.
Response: You're welcome! I've seen the snow globe postmark. I've also received US mail with a postmark of palm trees, a Christmas tree, and Santa's sleigh and reindeer, on a card from snowy Maine! No palm trees there!
Response: You're so welcome! It helps when we have an interest in common.
Response: I thought that card might hit your sweet spot! Our holiday goal is that no one should be forgotten.
Response: You're welcome. I sent you my recipe for manicotti with details about making the noodles - easy peasy!
Response: You're welcome! It's great to be so nicely appreciated!
Response: You're welcome. Once I figured out how to keep track of everything I was less stressed and enjoyed myself 😊
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome. Our Streptocarpus, Cape Primrose aka false African violet just arrived, in perfect condition.
Response: You're welcome. I have a little stack of undersized postcards I save for swap tags. 😊
Response: You're so welcome! Would you please share your recipes for Welsh cakes? I haven't made Welsh recipes - that I know of - and would love to try them.
Response: You're welcome! I would love to *see* Yellowstone one of these days.
Response: You're welcome. Too bad Pringles aren't as good as the sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome. Please let me know how the soaking goes, taking postage stamps off washi tape.
Response: I thought of you when I added them to the order. 8-D
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived promptly - I'm heading back east next week.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes, when I have time.
Response: You're so welcome! I enjoy sending those TE postcards.
Response: Sigh... I think any complicated algorithm like saying I'll think twice about assigning you the same partner... is too complicated. Yes, the holidays are lovely.
Response: I'm glad you like it. It seemed perfect for you.
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy to have some guidance!
Response: You're welcome. Coordination by USPS. Their stationery always comes with coordinated postage stamps.
Response: You're welcome. Fall always comes too early here in Minnesota. Lots of leaves ready to rake now.
Response: I rise to the challenge!
Response: I always enjoy sending to you. Thanks for all the swaps you host.
Response: You're welcome. I love using my washi tape to share it.
Response: Places I wish I'd been! You're welcome.
Response: It's on of those supernatural things - I somehow knew you'd be my partner and I knew exactly what you like.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad they arrived safely!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy putting together swaps.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. That trip was the best I've taken in quite a while.
Response: Rest? Ha! We are just starting the rounds of vaccinations for the 65+ crowd. You're welcome. I enjoy making swaps to send.
Response: Thank you! I have another mole delivering mail. They are from Paper Treats. She has a too-wonderful selection of washi tape.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment. Sometimes my notes and letters are little journal entries.
Response: You're welcome. Happy swapping to you too.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm happy when I choose a good fit!
Response: You're so welcome! Nick Cave Soundsuit is from our local art museum. Let me know if you'd like more.
Response: And you've been to the seaside!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome o
Response: You're welcome! I have fun diving into my collection of washi tape. You had mentioned Hatikvah. There's a larger selection of songs during the school year. 😊 My school days were peppered with Xmas carols. I'm going back east in the end of October!!!
Response: You're welcome. I think it's one that's only available here in Minnesota.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything: my fun with washi tape after the fun of filling an envelope.
Response: Thank you! You're welcome!
Response: I'd like to suggest a route to the Badlands: US 83 between I76 and Valentine is a beautiful drive through the Sand Hills of Nebraska. Uninterrupted by gas stations so have a full tank.
Response: You're welcome! I strive to send cheer!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for your incredibly prompt rating!
Response: You're welcome. Their being in senior housing means there's still lots to do, to help, doesn't it?!!
Response: Dinner was a hit, especially farm fresh corn. (We live in the Corn Belt and it's special here.) Not so much the tomato aspic because people don't like tomato juice. Oven BBQ chicken was easy and also highly rated. Quinoa salad was all gone even though the vegan never showed up!
Response: You're welcome. Dinner was a huge hit! The week before a recipe for Oven BBQ Chicken turned up in an email and that was popular. 4 dozen ears of corn for $23 because it's ripening all at once in the extreme heat.
Response: Thanks for the heart. Trip is up in the air because we have painters coming the week I planned to go.
Response: You're so welcome! We had 36 for dinner; farm fresh corn and BBQ chicken pleased everyone. Tomato aspic, an experiment, not so much: people don't like tomato juice!
Response: You're welcome! No need to reply. Did I mention cooking a community dinner? When we sat down to dinner, we had 36 people. It was lovely.
Response: You're welcome! I have fun taping up envelopes. My garden needs attention - I've seen all too many 1-foot tall trees.
Response: When we have really hot days here, I tell myself I'll remember them fondly when winter temps are well below zero!
Response: You're so welcome! I think those Edition Tausendschoen postcards are quite sturdy and travel well. When I saw that you were my partner I looked through my little stack of the postcards that you like, with several stamps in mind. That was an easy match. I like the challenge of these swaps.
Response: Ah! They arrived together! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Have a great summer - your location is perfect for summer! I spent some summers in Maine growing up on the East Coast.
Response: Thank you for hosting! I had just a few days in Venice. I'd love to go back, and also Vicenza to see Palladio's villas.
Response: Thanks for hosting. A good scavenger hunt challenge is fun - and I get to review the postcards I have on hand.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for your kind comment. I'll try to remember to send you Schroder next time.
Response: You're welcome. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad I could help.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun putting swaps together for you.
Response: You're welcome. I have too much washi and enjoy sharing it inside and out.
Response: You're welcome. It's from a box of postcards I bought on Amazon: Coastlines: 50 Postcards from Around the World
Response: You're welcome. Too bad I never remember what I put in the envelope. 😏
Response: You're welcome. Summer is beautiful here. But looking out to huge piles of snow, not so much!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy doing these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I thought you might especially like that one.
Response: You're welcome. When I'm building websites I change passive voice to active voice in articles people give me. I had an English teacher who said if it's passive voice, find a new verb. I think passive voice is useful when talking about a problem and not blaming anyone.
Response: You're welcome. I send my 98yo aunt a postcard every week. When I'm away I send her Touchnote cards and then send her postcards from my travels when I get home. She said she travels vicariously with me. One of the people on my tour to South Africa said she's an animal show junkie and sees more on shows than on our game drives.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm sending to you for another swap and will write how I do the taping.
Response: You're so welcome. I enjoy writing letters and every swap is an opportunity.
Response: You're welcome! A friend just back from a Mediterranean cruise said she won't do that again - not enough time ashore and the ship was boring. Not enough adventure for me though my trip to Wadi Rum and Petra was too much adventure. I want to spend ten days or two weeks in Rome and Pompeii and I'll probably do that on my own.
Response: You're welcome. I'd love to go to Germany again. My nephew and his family moved to Wiesbaden in June - a great excuse to visit.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed putting together the swap for you.
Response: And it arrived just in time for the holiday! You're welcome.
Response: You're so welcome! The washi I use is a random dive into the box of seasonal rolls of washi tape on my desk. Not completely random - I check the width so that it covers every bit of the envelope!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I had a dandelion postcard to send you.
Response: You're welcome. I was stuck in Atlanta the other night for five hours coming home. I'm going to rethink traveling for the time being! Maybe a road trip,
Response: Don't wear yourself out!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy spoiling my wonderful partners. 😊
Response: You're welcome. I do like to use all my kawaii stationery.
Response: You're welcome. I'm thrilled when I receive such a nice comment.
Response: You're welcome. A long drive for a quick visit but I get it. I'm going to Israel for a week in June for a wedding and that's brief for a long trip!
Response: I'm so glad! Did I mention that I hoard my Higuchi Yuki postcards?
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad it was a happy mail day for you.
Response: You're welcome! I took two tours this winter - much less expensive than solo travel - and used free time to go to museums. Small scale shopping!
Response: You're welcome! I think lots of stamps on an envelope are a special kind of mail art.
Response: You're welcome! I chose an animal native to us and not in France.
Response: You're welcome. The flamingo postcard is Edition Tausendschön. You'll start seeing them everywhere now! I buy them from a seller on Etsy.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed my note and will use the washi tape.
Response: You're so welcome. I enjoy writing letters, more than sending kawaii.
Response: Yes, pairs! I'm glad you exercised your brain a little. The day lilies are not planted. I'm still digging. More digging tomorrow!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy spoiling you. I'm glad you reuse the envelope.
Response: Thank you. You're welcome.
Response: You're so welcome! I enjoy making nice mail for you.
Response: You're welcome. This swap was perfect for a James Jean postcard and I'm glad you think so too. I read Naomi Novik's books slowly, to savor them. Now I'm sidetracked to read a book club book for next week.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived so quickly. Some US swaps are taking *weeks* to arrive.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived so quickly. Some US swaps are taking *weeks* to arrive.
Response: I have fun using my washi tape. Send me a photo of the wide tea one and I'll send you a sample the next time I send you a swap.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad it turned up because a resend wouldn't have been so amazing I think!
Response: You're welcome! I have a book of Bauhaus papers that I use to make envelopes.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy writing letters.
Response: You're welcome! I'm hoarding those postalettes for special occasions.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sharing my stash.
Response: You're welcome. I'm sure you'll put them to good use!
Response: You're welcome! Recently I binged on Edition Tausendschön postcards from a seller on Etsy. I saw lots of rhinos in South Africa though now I think I didn't bring home enough animal postcards. Two more days of Passover and then the logging begins.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. Thanks to USPS for delivering so promptly!
Response: You're welcome! We can see some dirt in the south-facing back yard now. Our Passover seders were lovely, going into the early hours of the morning.
Response: You're welcome! One of the women in our tour group was a self-proclaimed wildlife show junkie. She had lots of questions for our guide and we were all the richer for her questions. Our game drives were at sunrise and sunset because that's when the animals are most active. Yes, an incredible trip - and not as extravagant as I thought it would be.
Response: You're welcome. I happen to have some pretty good ones just now.
Response: You're welcome! I knew that was a swap I couldn't pass up! South Africa was wonderful and it was great to get away for part of the winter.
Response: You're welcome! It's great to have something fun to write about.
Response: And even the third one took its time! I'm glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome. It's nice to have something special to write about. Yes, the trip was amazing. I want to go again, to see more of Africa.
Response: Yes, the penguins were too cute. My husband's theory is that the jet lag was worse because I'd gone to the Southern Hemisphere, where it was the 8 hour time difference as well as much longer days.
Response: You're welcome! I think of notes as my extra, and I enjoy writing them.
Response: You're welcome! Your excellent profile made it easy to choose for you.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy spoiling you.
Response: You're so welcome. Your profile made it easy for me to choose washi tape for you.
Response: You're welcome. Seems the USPS routes between you and me are almost straight down 35. It took just two days, less than sending Priority Mail packages to Greg's parents in WI, 210 miles away.
Response: You're so welcome! I happy that one of the swaps arrived. Maybe the first one will turn up in a month or two. 😊
Response: You're welcome! It's fun to heartfully write, Thanks for nothing!
Response: You're welcome. I sooo glad they arrived!
Response: Your'e so welcome! I think the foil ones stick better than the paper ones so I often use them for mail art.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy choosing postcards for you. The latest silliness is needing $45 in crisp new bills for a visa into Zimbabwe, to see Victoria Falls. And this is one trip that all my pills are traveling in original bottles if they are so picky.
Response: You're welcome! I'd say that most of the postcards in the Lego box are pretty good. I decided a while back that I don't need to send *all* the postcards in a box of 100 and pack up the duds for Goodwill.
Response: You're welcome! I chose ones in the old style, not so watercolor-y.
Response: Thank you for rating me. Happy New Year to you too! And best wishes for peace in the coming year.
Response: You're so welcome! We've had a modest amount of snow and very low temps. The bathroom sink cold water pipe froze and then unfroze when we left the kitchen cabinet doors wide open - another kind of hazard. I'm glad you like my interpretation of the topic.
Response: I'm glad you're doing better and able to catch up. And I'm glad you like my swap.
Response: I'm glad it finally arrived. Thanks for rating me.
Response: You're welcome! I love using my washi tape!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I can help the world as I send greetings to family and friends.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're so welcome! I'm happy when I find nice UNICEF cards and especially now that they are doing so much work in Ukraine.
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy when I find nice UNICEF cards and especially now that they are doing so much work in Ukraine.
Response: You're welcome! I love using all my washi tape!
Response: You're welcome. I'm having fun sharing my trip with lots of people - family, friends, swappers, and Postcrossing people in the US.
Response: You're welcome. It's always nice to meet someone new in a swap.
Response: I'm opening mine on December 18th, the first night of Hanukkah. You could open yours then too and celebrate Hanukkah with me. 😁 🕎 😁
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the resend arrived safely. Maybe in a week or two you'll receive the first batch. Holiday season for us is Hanukkah with a few candles and fun buying gifts for a needy family somewhere in our county. I enjoy all the good cheer around us in this season.
Response: You're welcome. (I placed a Black Friday order for *more* washi tape.) Berbere spice mix arrived in time from Amazon; boy is that hot!
Response: You're so welcome. I didn't sit down to write it until I had something interesting to say! I had fun packing it up too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad to know my reruns are still goodies!
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy when my partner likes *all* the postcards I send!
Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcards. I did have a wonderful time in Italy! Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.
Response: You're welcome. It's always my pleasure to send to a wonderful and kind recipient such as you.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for your lovely comment. I've added my mother's cranberry salad to the list of things I'm taking - we need my family represented!
Response: You're so welcome! I had fun putting together the swaps for you.
Response: You're so very welcome again. I had not noticed the unicorn - I'll look for it now.
Response: You're welcome. I'm that way about India - I stopped working there and then joined Postcrossing, without postcards from India. Now I cherish postcards from India.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I had a fabulous time in Italy! I send home a box of groceries and made a wonderful mushroom flan with lots of porcini.
Response: You're welcome. I just emailed you a photo of the dragon and our new Snoopy that I couldn't not get.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much destashing as sharing rather than hoarding!
Response: You're welcome! It snowed here today and I'm hoping for better weather to be out and about in Italy because I'm not taking boots!
Response: You're welcome. The news photos of areas demolished by rockets are likely hard for Ukrainian refugees to see too. They are heart-wrenching to me.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they came to me in time for this swap, just for you!
Response: I will! I'm looking forward to getting on an airplane for the first time in years.
Response: Your'e welcome! And it's the autumnal Equinox!
Response: You're welcome. It's easier to pick cards when I read a well written profile like yours.
Response: Thank you for your chatty rating. Your mail too is always a pleasure to receive. I looked at the tour website and learned that there's 5 inches of rain where we're going in October so I'm looking for waterproof shoes.
Response: A bullseye! That's exactly what I wanted! I'm glad to see you again.
Response: You're welcome. My extra is often a note because I love to write.
Response: You're welcome. Good question about the Winchesters.
Response: You're welcome. Memos make for a heavy envelope 8-D
Response: You're welcome. I've moved on to K dramas: Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
Response: I placed an order and then, sadly, it's still, no airmail coming from Japan.
Response: You're welcome! I'm always thrilled to receive a postcard that practically has an address written on it -- it knows exactly where it's going!
Response: You're welcome! I've ordered a few items from sellers on Etsy but haven't ordered from Kawaii Shop Japan in more than a year. It's time to make a small investment!
Response: You're welcome. My addiction to washi tape is all about the artwork and the humor.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed hearing why I chose those particular postcards.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. We listened to a ranger talk at the Arch Museum. The MO senator at the time - a woman - advocated for funding the design while carrying a handbag with handles shaped like the proposed arch.
Response: I'm so glad I could pull a trick like that without incurring the wrath of my partner. Thank you for having a great sense of humor.
Response: You're welcome! I don't sign up for these swaps until I have a little pile of postcards to send.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes and letters and I guess they are like extras.
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy to use and swap the bounty of my kawaii collection. It runeth over, as my husband likes to say when a new note on kawaii memo paper turns up on the refrigerator.
Response: You're welcome! In the last few days we've heard more about the interesting people they've met and less about the food. Yes, it's getting better!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. I had fun choosing your surprises.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy chatting away in letters. I'm glad you like gems from my collection of washi tape.
Response: The moving van is two days late. They took the lowest bid. I'm running out of ideas to feed and entertain my in-laws. They are tired of living in a hotel.
Response: You're so welcome! Thank you for hosting!
Response: You're welcome. I have a book of Bauhaus design paper and I make envelopes from these sheets.
Response: You're welcome. I think extras should be what you're swapping for rather than some random other things you -might- like.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Was it the alarm clock that got ya?!!
Response: You're welcome! We now have one pink peony open and lots of tight little round buds.
Response: You're welcome. Happy spring now that it's here. The lilies of the valley are blooming now and I can smell them when I'm working in the yard.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm always happy to share my weird postcards.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! Yes I did!
Response: You're welcome. The copyright date on my pad of Yellow Submarine postalettes is 2005. I've had them forever!
Response: I am leaving behind all sorts of completed tasks and I'm sure I'll enjoy the trip all the more!
Response: I thought you might enjoy those body parts!
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. We are well. Greg's TA has Covid now so he's teaching some discussion sections in the five-day quarantine.
Response: You're welcome. I was thrilled that I could fulfill your wish!
Response: You're welcome. I have great fun decorating with postage.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun putting together these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I buy washi tape from sellers on Etsy. Most of it is Japanese. I think I have most of the sellers among my Etsy favs (link above). There's even a button so you'll see just the washi tape favs.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun choosing offbeat postcards for you.
Response: You're welcome. We are well and still wearing masks.because many people aren't. Thank you for hosting the swap!
Response: You're welcome! It's always fun to use up stickers.
Response: So funny! Last week I received a Postcrossing postcard that was delivered to a Postcrosser in Montana! I'm glad it was someone who knows about Postcrossing!
Response: You're welcome. I know you'll get well. Take care.
Response: I like your username.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I added the Andy Warhol playings cards because you have altered playing cards on your profile.
Response: Thank you for the lovely rating comment. The next couple of months are utterly chaotic. After that I'll be back to writing letters.
Response: You're welcome. When I send to or receive from Australia I always wonder about the swap's modes of transportation that they take so long. Why don't they put it on an airplane?!!
Response: You're so welcome! When my husband was teaching from home he made a rule that I couldn't stream videos when he was online for lectures, office hours and proctoring exams. Not that I was before the rule! More Covid anxiety .
Response: You're welcome. It's a outer space thank you for hosting many, many kawaii swaps.
Response: You're welcome. It's always a pleasure to share with you.
Response: You're welcome. We went to Arkansas one March and saw bird's foot violets in bloom, when Minnesota was still snow-covered.
Response: You're welcome. I made the cake for my in-laws and they were surprised it was moist for days - ya gotta hand it to that coconut milk!
Response: All the better to decorate your cookbook!
Response: You're welcome. Using all those stamps is de-stashing. :-D
Response: You're welcome. I thought the Egyptian washi might your sweet spot.

Response: You're welcome. I had hoped I could surprise you like that.
Response: You're welcome. It's a very special national park. Perhaps you'll visit one day.
Response: You're welcome! Yes, friends need valentines too!
Response: You're welcome! The looking is postponed until the latest surge ends. I'm at home, configuring a new ChromeBook computer for my father-in-law. Configuring means turning on parental controls.
Response: You're welcome. Bridges fascinated my dad. On road trip vacations we made side trips to see important bridges (there's a Y-shaped bridge in RI) and also a special trip to NYC when the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened. Later I learned there's a correspondence between liking bridges and people who never learned to swim. Dad never learned to swim. That's why I asked about the desert and your nautical interests.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much new stuff now so you're getting oldies but goodies.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like them. I chose favorites of mine.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I have few winter-themed items, probably because I have just too much real winter!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you had lots of space topics in your list of postcards.
Response: It takes a special person to love that postcard! I'm so glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy re-homing kawaii!
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting the swap. Stay healthy and out of the storms!
Response: You're welcome. Your great profile made it easy for me to choose a postcard for you.
Response: You're so welcome! My spouse is making the long-running joke about what did I get myself for Hanukkah. But it's Christmas so, yes, it's okay! And because I'm making half a dozen kinds of Christmas cookies for his parents.
Response: I'm glad you like it! I keep a spreadsheet of all the swaps I join to help me keep track of everything. The upshot is that I'm a bit nudgy at times!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad they arrived: better late than never!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad they hit your sweet spot!
Response: Happy Hanukkah! Shabbat Shalom! My husband says our weather is like Northern California now. I haven't scraped frost off our little auto and snow is only a light dusting. Daytime temps in the 40s and nighttime temps rarely drop below freezing.
Response: I'm so glad you like it! We had a tiny vegetarian Thanksgiving, just my husband and me. Only one dessert so I created a mashup of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin roll. Well, not *literally* a mashup!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like kawaii!
Response: You're so welcome! Did you gently pull the washi tape off the envelope?!!
Response: You're so welcome! I had fun collecting them - I just couldn't stop!
Response: You're welcome. Rick Riordan and Captain Underpants turned my nephew into a reader. Ovid's Metamorphoses was my crash course in Greek mythology. The Penguin translation is particularly good -- a page turner!
Response: I aim for a country that's far from my partner! I'm not sure I'll ever get to the Southern Hemisphere. Leaves are almost gone. Good raking weather this weekend, in the 60s.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like it and think of my swap as a treat!
Response: You're so welcome! So is it a bridge or a work of art?!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy sending cheer!
Response: You're welcome. Maybe, some day, I'll visit you in Alaska. In the meantime we are healthy and not going far from home. Just Stevens Point, WI, again next week.
Response: I think you need a French memo board so you don't start new piles in your office. I made one with fabric, ribbon, and a stretched canvas. It has layers of wonderful postcards because I add my incoming favorites on top and now it's Postcrossingyears of layers. Many postcards aren't saved now because there are too many.
Response: Did I use the watercolor squirrel washi tape?!! Or was it more in the appetizing direction?
Response: Are we sure it's not counterfeit red snapper?
Response: You're welcome. Home again! It was a nice visit.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad I entertained you!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like all the kawaii!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the card found a spooky home!
Response: You're welcome. I'm always anxious when it's a blind swap -- Will my partner like them?!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Hip hip hooray! You're welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I was anxious! Let's do this again, new topic!
Response: You're so welcome! Yours is exactly the response I hoped for!
Response: You're welcome! Safe, yes. My husband started teaching in person this week and was relieved to see that all the students in the lecture hall wore masks. He'd been anxious for weeks.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting the swap. It's nice to participate in a kawaii swap that's not KSU.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you have a wordy profile!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad both arrived and that you love Higuchi too!

Response: Lots of groceries for your cookbook! Yes, it's better to be lucky than good.
Response: You're welcome! I explore the far reaches of my collection to send you ones I've not sent before. Family is getting ready for in-person lecturing next week. My job is to take him clothes shopping and give him a haircut.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you still like the UFO tape.
Response: I'm glad you liked reading it! Writing the letter was a good way to think about what I did this summer.
Response: 😁 Making a good effort to destash. I love that tape but its being vertical makes it hard to place. I'm a corn snob now - if it's not fresh off the field...
Response: You're welcome. I buy every bit of space-themed kawaii I see! Washi tape too.
Response: You're welcome! I suppose putting plants up high, out of the cat's way would be a temptation!
Response: You're welcome! I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome! I can't wait for cooler weather so I can resume baking.
Response: You're welcome. I don't get those rubber stamps out often enough. Air is clearer here now. I hope y'all are safe in MO now with the Covid wildfires.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome! Sadly, mail is taking much longer to travel to the Netherlands now. I wonder when it will get back to the old normal.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating!
Response: You're welcome! I've been setting aside surprises for you for a while and this swap was the perfect time to send them.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Out and about, yes, and masked. It's also a help because fires in Manitoba affect our air quality: the AQI is Unhealthy.
Response: You're welcome! I'm still decluttering the yoga space though I am making progress!
Response: You're welcome! I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like the whole package!
Response: You're welcome! We are just back from out of town too. Lots of good podcasts carried us through Wisconsin's monoculture landscape.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for joining. Like you, it's easy to host a swap when I notice I have enough pieces for a good theme.
Response: You're welcome! Once it's over an ounce, it doesn't cost anything to add another one. Especially because i have more than two dozen boxes of 100!
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for the lovely rating!
Response: You're very welcome! A friend went there to gamble and all she got was a handful of postcards for me!
Response: Your'e welcome!
Response: You must have just picked up your mail! I'm glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoyed making happy mail for you. I first spotted Nekoni on papertreatshop.com. An Etsy search for "nekoni stickers" has a huge result set.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy those Japanese postcards too.
Response: I'm glad you like the narwhal. This evening we had omurice for dinner: Trader Joe's Japanese fried rice with a simple omelet draped over it and topped with ketchup. An easy and yummy dinner at home. More than a few of my shortcuts come from TJ's!
Response: You're welcome! I confess that I looked online to make sure Shappo is a bunny. In fact, his official name is Rabbit Shappo.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad I have a stack of Lantern Press postcards!
Response: You're welcome! It's always fun to rise to that sort of challenge!
Response: You're welcome. Send me a photo of the bunny washi tape and I'll send you samples. I just replenished my stash of gift cards and now some hotel room keys. And that idea of taping cellos closed comes from Rani.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm thrilled that everything is perfect for you. You're a fun partner to choose for!
Response: You're so welcome! Now we worry about water. St. Paul Farmers Market is off to a slow start because it's so dry. One vendor was selling mushrooms grown in Roseville, indoors of course, where they can control the climate.
Response: You're welcome. I sent a mix of new and older memos. I'm glad you like mushrooms!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for your kind rating.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! There's a San-x store in Pittsburgh of all places!
Response: You're welcome! I thrilled that I made you do happy!
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you love them! And I'm always happy to share kawaii!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad that arrived safely and I have a data point - it takes about three weeks for mail to travel from my home to yours.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like kawaii stickers.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, opening new sacks is fun. Fun for you too? I hadn't heard of DuckDuckGo until your letter. I've been using it lately for searches, like searching for a concrete and masonry company that can make structural repairs. We'll see!
Response: You're welcome. Remind me to not pack up early!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! It's always nice to have such a fun writing prompt.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I add the best books to my profile, if you don't want to wait for my next postcard!
Response: You're welcome. The phone ordeal was only an ordeal when I had to deal with AT&T. Next time I'll stick with old reliable Apple store.
Response: You're welcome. Probably half the fun of swapping is packaging!
Response: You're welcome! Recently I binged on washi tapes and want to share. Now rolls are shorter by meters.
Response: You're welcome. I don't often participate in these swaps because I want to make each one special.
Response: You're welcome. The artist has won two Caldecott Medals for her illustrations of children's books. And of course I need to say more than Hi, how are you!
Response: You're welcome. I can't bear to toss out those cute ziplock sticker sacks!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all the postcards. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome! I was glad to send something that doesn't rely on forwarding! I thought Ryleigh is about the age for kawaii. And I too love washi - too much!
Response: You're welcome. When do you think Canada will be open to visitors for whom travel is optional? I'd like the circumnavigate Lake Superior.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. In his first tour, as 2LT, he had patrols where he'd read because he couldn't socialize. I sent him a Kindle after asking a question on Amazon about how it'd work in those conditions. Lots of ex mil said great! Tom was thrilled because he was running out of reading material. Now he always has an iPad at hand.
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy when what I send is your happy mail. I started journals that languish, probably because I think no one will read them and people do read my letters and postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Animals and a pork cutlet?!!
Response: Thank you! There aren't too many places with good vegetarian takeout here. Pizza is best eaten straight from the oven and I'm making it in our oven now!
Response: You're welcome! He worked at the UNT health center for several years - you might have run into him!
Response: You're welcome. You could be like Pattie and several other partners who peel off the tape and save it!
Response: You're welcome. When I received a pocket letter as a RAK I realized they are the perfect size for sending mini memos and perfect for this swap plus an extra!
Response: You're welcome! I love space and would love to travel through space though, sadly, it won't happen in our lifetimes.
Response: You're welcome. Anxiety about the imminent announcement affected my husband's students who were taking an exam that evening. After the announcement of the verdict there was a huge collective sigh of relief and the exam went forward without a hitch.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it! I really appreciate the prompt rating - I've had to chase more than a few lately.
Response: You're so welcome! There's one more swap headed your way, yet more postcards.
Response: I'm so glad you like them! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Corcoro Coronya 🍓 ?
Response: No drawings from me! I learned years ago that I can't draw and then recently that hand/eye coordination - like catching a ball and drawing - never developed because I didn't get glasses until I was 9 and hand/eye coordination and peripheral vision develop before age 5. I'm glad you like the big sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome! I am *so* glad it finally arrived! I was all set to make another one. I made yours from my favorite catalog for perennial plants and bulbs and would make a resend from the new catalog that arrived recently.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you're HAPPY!!!
Response: You're welcome. Two out of three mailed at the same time -- an interesting data point about USPS.
Response: Thanks for the nice rating. I'm glad you're getting everything sorted out.
Response: I'm so glad I got your sweet spot!
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart!
Response: You're so welcome! And that's a fast trip to Canada for a change. Most swaps I mail to Canada take almost a month. Perhaps an Etsy shop in Canada?
Response: You're so welcome! I now have more unopened sticker sacks than open ones so it's time to open more.
Response: You're so welcome! I enjoy writing those letters.
Response: And double the fun! Nothing like a resend to get the mail flowing again.
Response: You are so welcome! I had fun putting it together just for you. I happened to have that lovely cardboard mailer from an Etsy order for postcards and it was perfect for sending letter sets. So I did!
Response: You're so welcome. My partner's dot were completely different than what I sent you! I enjoy writing you letters.
Response: You're so welcome. I happy that it finally arrived after traveling for six weeks. I want to visit New Zealand; maybe I can find a slow boat like my swap and enjoy the trip!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoy my joke. Sometimes I miss the mark.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad that postcard hit your sweet spot!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad to see you're catching up on your ratings.
Response: You're welcome. I love when the swap and the rating and the response turn into little conversations. It's amazing how not ordering goods online slows their rate of reproduction!
Response: You're so welcome! Congratulations on your first swap! Thank you for the prompt rating and your lovely comment.
Response: You're so welcome. I have all too many rolls of washi tape and I love sharing. I have tiny heuchara leaves; a few scilla in bloom, heralding a carpet in the next week; crocuses in bloom; and tulips are almost 6 inches high. No sign of daffodils. I planted a Minnesota redbud last year and can't wait to see what that does. I'm looking forward to my many hellebore blooming soon.
Response: You're welcome! All the cards in the Urban Sketching box are wonderful.
Response: You're welcome! I love collecting washi tape and it's about time I share it!
Response: You're out-of-this-world welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I have more fun with scavenger hunts than putting three postcards in an envelope!
Response: You're welcome. Some I include because they have easy PC matches. When I lived abroad Women's Day was widely observed, before here in the US. Until recently it was odd!
Response: Thank you for the heart!
Response: Now that I've just finished my taxes I have time to take a few photos. Oh, wait. Now I'm cleaning for Passover.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun to swap with someone I've not met before.
Response: You're welcome. I have a little collection of fun paperclips but I'm not sure how to use them - send them off in swaps?!!
Response: You're welcome. I'm not sure how to use the shaped paperclips. I don't have a planner.Send them off in swaps?!!
Response: Yes, tiny surprises. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Fun coincidence!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for rating me so promptly!
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy that my duplicates weren't your duplicates!
Response: You're welcome. It's warming up now. I think you're in one of the few warm corners in the US just now. I have a brother and a sister who live in Dallas and between text messages and Facebook there's lots of complaining. And they even have clothes for northern winters!
Response: I'm glad you like everything. Is there any chance I'll get out of the Upper Midwest or perhaps even the US in 2021?!! I'm not old enough to get a vaccine now so I'm patient and careful.
Response: You're welcome. I tell my husband that when he retires we are moving. I think he keeps on working because he doesn't want to move.
Response: To make it yourself, hold a piece of glass over the fire to collect the smoke, then rinse it down with water to make liquid smoke. Or you can use the smoked glass to view an eclipse.
Response: Thanks for hosting. Next time I'll make it from sticker sheets -- quicker than peeling all those flakes!
Response: You're welcome.Thanks for joining my swap. I'll host another in March.
Response: You're welcome. Our furnace is working hard and Greg worries whether it will make it through this cold snap.
Response: You're welcome! You take care too.
Response: You're welcome. It's a way of saying thank you for all your kind KSU work.
Response: This is the moment when I wish I could remember what I sent you!
Response: I'm so glad you're !!!!! happy!
Response: You're welcome! I like these themeless swaps too!
Response: You're welcome. Little strawberry sacks are from kawaiishopjapan.com, Paper Items >> Other.
Response: Too sure! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived safely. It was a challenge to pack!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad Pattie has small quantities for these swaps!
Response: I'm glad the fishes arrived!
Response: You're welcome. Swaps are a good diversion in the midst of our awful political situation.
Response: You're welcome! A while back Pattie mentioned that she gets ideas for future swaps when she comes across more than a few pieces she'd have for a category swap.
Response: You're welcome! I bought those cards when I spotted the mango-shaped India.
Response: You're welcome! Who knows when and where I'm going next?!!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, we have snow, slowly but surely accumulating now. I need to change the license plates on the car now - it's up in the 20s today!
Response: You're welcome! I fell in love with mango-shaped India, a design that's ubiquitous in India and a seminal example of cultural appropriation.
Response: You're welcome. Today is a day of catching up and, as is our usual custom, avoiding stores. I drove by Target #1 the other day and the parking lot was packed. Covid? What Covid?
Response: You're welcome and thank you for the words of advice. I don't obsess over the notes I write - so why can I not stopping obsessing about making perfect crafts?!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Tonight is the first night of Chanukah and it's quiet in our home because my husband is proctoring an exam via Zoom this evening.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy to treat you!
Response: Cool! Winter! Great word play!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: I'm glad everyone is thrilled! I sent my in-laws a big box of Ghirardelli brownie mixes (6 pouches) from Costco and realized I could flip the cost of swaps: more product and less postage. Now, don't eat them all at once!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like like the package of little books!
Response: You're welcome. We had a tiny quiet feast -- we each chose a couple of favorites and I made a new dish: Hasselback potatoes. My husband Zoomed with his family too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm sending to you again today!
Response: You're welcome. Your lovely rating is a lift to my day!
Response: You're welcome. A good book is always a treat!
Response: You're welcome! I looked for teas with your aromatherapy interests in mind.
Response: You're welcome. I have several new boxes of 50 and 100 because I'm sending frequent postcards to 43 people sheltering in place, most alone, as well as weekly postcards to my in-laws and my aunt. Only my aunt is a fotofolio sort of person!
Response: You're welcome. I wish I had a Japanese bakery in town! Or maybe go to Tokyo and pick up bakery treats.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you're thrilled! +++ I'm glad to know my package arrived and I look forward to seeing your updates as you open them. I'll open yours for Chanukah, beginning the evening of December 10th.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I'm sure our tiny holiday will be lovely. Dinner for two is downsized and simplified!
Response: Your'e welcome. Dried beans and whole grain both have plenty of protein. I just came across this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2020/11/02/how-to-cook-lentils-varieties/
Response: You're welcome. That box of food postcards is full of sly little jokes.
Response: You're welcome. Minnesota is surrounded by states with high per capita numbers of cases, and then we turned red too. Even rural cases are hard hit. We are staying close to home. Greg thinks students will go home for Thanksgiving and stay home for the remainder of the semester.
Response: You're welcome. One day, someday, I'll visit Vancouver!
Response: Though not quite everything to make ambrosia.
Response: You're welcome! I'm an immigrant and there's so much I don't get. My MIL trained me in the etiquette of the Norwegian cookie plate -- the magic number is 7!
Response: You're welcome. We've had weather in the 60s and 70s this past week and I'm mostly in the garden planting bulbs and raking leaves. Talk about whiplash!
Response: You're welcome! Me too!
Response: You're welcome. When I feel that I can't part with one or another postcard, after a while I can!
Response: I'm so glad I could send you good cheer. I had fun pulling kawaii for you. The hard part was sending one each day. One afternoon I sent two, one mailed from a box that's pick up around 11 each morning and the other from a box that's picked up at 5. Mailed on two days, right?
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Butterflies are rare in my collection of postcards and I was happy to find one.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Those are a favorite of mine too. And the roll is almost gone.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. You're so kind! I agonized over that and decided on minimal look.
Response: You're welcome! What a great way to organize them. I'm not signing up for the whole series. I'll open them day by day for Chanukah.
Response: You're welcome. I love the expression on that dog's face!
Response: You're welcome. We had 8" of snow Tuesday. It keeps coming, a half an inch at a time. Yesterday I scraped snow and ice off the car. We expect temps in the 40s on Wednesday and I will begin planting then.
Response: You're not leaving your mail in the airlock for days on end? Rest assured, I don't lick envelopes, though mostly because glue works better.
Response: Thank you for catching my mistake and sorry it was disappointing!
Response: You're welcome. I'm looking for warm waterproof gloves so I can dig under the snow to plant my daffodil bulbs.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I like to choose cards from places furthest from my partners.
Response: You're welcome! I think I sent one of everything I had. You know, you get started and keep going, a bit OCD!
Response: You're welcome! Too much washi tape in my collection box to recall what I used!
Response: You're welcome! Today I rated a swap from the small city where my cousin lives - I knew exactly where it came from!
Response: You're welcome! Those Czech stickers were printed in Korea. Every once in a while I find something like that when I shop online for kawaii.
Response: You're welcome! Those Czech stickers were printed in Korea. Every once in a while I find something like that when I shop online for kawaii.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad it finally arrived. Book club was lovely, except the corded lawn mower blew out the circuit breaker that week so that grass was longish.
Response: You're welcome 💖
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I spend more time now sending postcards to people who are staying home, many alone. I cycle through a list of 50 family and friends. My latest postcards say, Vote!
Response: You're welcome. I've not added much to my collection lately and I'm glad there were some new to you.
Response: You're welcome. I've never seen the HBO production of GOT so I have no idea who's on the postcard!
Response: You're welcome. I was happy to find a postcard that's so apt!
Response: You're welcome. I volunteered for several years before I knew how important it is to the DFL budget. Cute kitty paper is kawaii.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Enjoy using the stickers! Yes, I love math. I credit my math major with teaching me clear analytical thinking and that's needed in many jobs. So good for your daughter!
Response: You're welcome. My book slub is meeting in our backyards, for the time being, until there's snow on the ground. My omelet recipe contains egg. Have you found good egg substitutes?
Response: 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 😊 You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're so welcome! I always enjoy sending to you. We are well. Greg begins teaching next week, happily away from students, faculty and other bearers of virus.
Response: I'm so glad I could surprise you!
Response: You're welcome. And you'll have an empty mini pocket letter to make one when you put away the mini memos.
Response: You're welcome for the postcard. I feel your pain! It took months to resolve the electricity problem and I felt sorry for the woman who didn't realize it was happening. She had a big bill she couldn't afford.
Response: I'm glad you like both. Of course I would send the wrong one and the right one!
Response: You're welcome. I love those postcards and mostly hoard them. I knew you'd enjoy one!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy making those mini pocket letters - they are perfect for mini memos!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything. And thank you for joining my swap. A one-partner swap is lonely!
Response: You're welcome. We only turn on the oven when it's cool outside - and to make dessert for bookclub. We turn on the AC when temps are above 90, not so often here in MN but more often now with global warming. And my spouse keeps the thermostat at 85° so it only takes the edge off the heat. Today it's breezy and cool after thunderstorms last night.
Response: You're welcome. I've been to Seattle for work several times. I need to go see the sights in the Pacific Northwest.
Response: Ordered and waiting. In the meantime the grass gets longer and longer. I'm working my way through Bugs Bunny - I hope I don't send dups!
Response: You're welcome. I made a French memo board where I post all my favorite postcards. My spouse likes seeing them too.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sharing from my boxes of 100 postcards, all non-touristy.
Response: You're welcome. It's one of those things that gets a bit obsessive - hunting them down until I've looked in all the possible nooks and crannies where I store sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome. I ordered the box of Yuko Higuchi postcards from a shop in Japan, just before all the shipping closed down. They sent them FedEx and the box arrived in June. And then I discovered there's a cult following of her work.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy using all the different postage stamps as people enjoy receiving them!
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I'm doing my bit for the USPS, sending more than a dozen postcards each week to family and friends, and Postcrossing and Swap-bot. Also care packages to my husband's parents.
Response: You're welcome. I credit that English teacher with liberating me from writing anxiety. Someone working for me couldn't write a coherent bug report so I sent her to a community college writing class; she had grammar lessons as well as writing a journal entry everyday.
Response: More like giving my heart(s) to you.
Response: I thought they were broccoli. You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome. I have boxes of 100 postcards that I love sharing! I enjoy writing letters too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I enjoyed stretching the boundaries of this swap! Let me know if you'd like a private swap for more GOT postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I think it's fun to make a great variety.
Response: You're welcome. And I'm sending you more tomorrow!
Response: You're welcome! Your great profile helped me choose postcards for you.
Response: You're welcome. I do lose count after a while!
Response: You're welcome. I have kawaii stationery that I buy online and swap. I'm not a collector -- I have too much fun using it!
Response: You're welcome. I have a box of postcards by that artist, many full of fantasy, or maybe surreal? I wasn't sure whether you'd like odd cats so I chose a straightforward card for you.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for rating me so promptly! I use large memos or letter paper from kawaii letter sets for my note paper.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you love them because most of my large memo pads are San-x!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad travel time to the Netherlands is back to normal!
Response: Yes they do! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I felt fortunate that I had weather artwork for you.
Response: You're welcome. I love adding notes to swaps.
Response: You're welcome. Decorating each envelope is an experiment, some more successful than others.
Response: Thank you for joining my swap. I'm glad you share the spirit of the swap. Maybe, when Canada is open again, I can make a road trip north to Winnipeg and west on the Trans-Canada Highway, then north to Alaska.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome. Let me know if you'd like the stovetop recipe.
Response: Yes, I looked at your profile and hoped it didn't say no kawaii! You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! I love those banana cats too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like the postcards though I can't remember what I sent!
Response: You're welcome. When you said old films, I thought you might enjoy an old photo of Brando. Today I received a box of washi tape I ordered from Japan in April, from one of my favorite sellers on Etsy. Otherwise not so many new tapes now.
Response: You're welcome. I hope they are sharing it nicely!
Response: You're welcome. I'm lucky I have great partners for blind swaps!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. And I can't remember what I sent you 😀
Response: You're welcome. They arrived so quickly! The last swap I sent to the Netherlands took weeks to arrive. I'm glad your mail is flowing nicely now.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. It seemed particularly relevant to the swap topic. We don't plant gardens until after Memorial Day as we often have late frosts, as we did this year. I don't have veggies because I'm mostly shade and rabbits. My late winter/early spring hellebores and scilla don't mind late frost and are the first up.
Response: You're welcome! 😊
Response: It's from a box I just received and every card in the box is not your usual postcard!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I enjoy choosing postcards for scavenger hunts. So that's a win-win!
Response: Those Sanrio fairy tales are new to you?!! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I'll try to remember that you like Kireiizuki the next time I send to you.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. That came from a box of postcards I just received from Japan.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad it finally arrived! I appreciate your telling me to wait for it to arrive.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them. For blind swaps I file the envelope with things I really like and hope me and my partner like the same things!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for going back and saving the rating again. I've learned over time that the Save glitch causes most late ratings.
Response: You're welcome. I'm still experimenting. I'm not sure how to make a letter fit so yours is an experiment. I didn't do pocket letters because I don't do ATCs but then I received one with resized greeting cards and found postcards just right.
Response: You're so welcome! Today I put on a long-sleeved shirt and cut the tops off Canadian thistles. I need to put markers in the ground to show me where they are so I can snip off new growth whenever a new leaf turns up.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Berlin is a great city.
Response: You're welcome. I write notes when I'm in the mood and have time to write them. That would be when it's raining or too hot to work outside. The never-ending list of projects is always good fodder for notes!
Response: You're so welcome! I hope you'll find those sheets useful!
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad you like them. Take care. Stay well.
Response: You're welcome. I wonder whether we could organize a Swap-bot group trip. Cheaper by the dozen and Africa - once you get there - is inexpensive. If we book flights now, it's just $1200 round trip. Yup, I'm browsing!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived what with delays in mail. I received an envelope from you yesterday, probably Three Postcards in an Envelope #7J, from April.
Response: You're so welcome! Yes, that pouch is special. Enjoy everything. 🐰🐻🐱
Response: You're welcome. I'm baking Italian bread and when it comes out of the oven I'll go outside to move some plants.
Response: You're welcome. I hadn't thought about that getting lost in the mail - it rarely happens to me.
Response: You're welcome. I thought you might like those GOT postcards!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad my swap package brought joy to your rough patches.
Response: You're welcome. It's lovely to share my sense of humor with you!
Response: You're welcome. Only so much one can say on a postcard. My dad was one of the original scientists at JPL. When he was in graduate school, DOD offered him a research position or they would draft him.
Response: You're welcome. Last night I started compiling my plant list, including invasive plants. Because we are in an old neighborhood we have landscaping plants like honeysuckle shrubs now classified as invasive.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I use large memo sheets all the time and suspect others do as well. We are well. Greg turned in his grades yesterday. Looks like he will teach online in the fall too.
Response: You're welcome. That website helped me downsize some recipes. Now I'm testing homemade mug cake mixes to send in a box to my in-laws because that's the closest I'll get to baking for them.
Response: You're welcome. May has taken a break at the moment, with freezing temps at night. It'll be nice next week!
Response: I'm glad you like what I sent. And yes, I am trying to make the best of it.
Response: You're welcome. Gourmet cooks - or self-confident competent cooks!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they spark joy!
Response: You're welcome. https://www.kingarthurflour.com has lots of excellent videos about bread baking.
Response: You're welcome. That was the last of my Lantern Press postcards. I've only found them at state and national parks.
Response: You're welcome. I think of a trip to Canada as a quick getaway from our current leaders in Washington, DC. I've wanted to visit the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver but there's not much trip planning going on just now.
Response: You're welcome. The paper pocket is a very simple origami cup. Copy and paste this link into your browser: https://www.origamiway.com/origami-cup.shtml
Response: Yes, isn't that a gem? I visited a friend in Las Vegas and we meandered the Strip. Postcards in the Coke store are too expensive but worth the extravagance!
Response: You're welcome. Yesterday I received a box of postcards I preordered on April 9th. I'm still waiting for a box I ordered in March because the publisher keeps pushing out the publication date. I'm glad I can get them. An independent bookstore where I buy boxes of postcards is closed now, for the duration.
Response: You're welcome. I wish I'd had a postcard from Wisconsin to send. I agree with its reputation of being the most boring state for long drives!
Response: You're so welcome. Thank you for hosting. Once I figured out how to manage all those partners I enjoyed filling envelopes!
Response: You're welcome and I'm glad you like them. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: I made it just for you, with all the food. I was anxious about how well it would travel and thought about putting it in another envelope - and then I came across that cello wrapper.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good challenge!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for hosting! Next time I send to you I'll ask about your new boxes. I have Lego Still Life and Marianne North on the way though Amazon now takes forever.
Response: You're welcome. He's busy and we're getting along well because I'm quiet when he's working. Pretty soon the weather will be nice and I can work outside and be as noisy as I want!
Response: You're welcome. I've sent quite a few Winnie-the-Pooh postcards for Postcrossing, for cheer. I've held back on Eeyore. I sent you a message with a link to the washi tape. You stay well too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm a fan of kokeshi too - I have several lined up along the back of my desk.
Response: You're so welcome. I collected all the pieces of paper before Pattie assigned partners so it was the luck of the draw for you.
Response: You're welcome. Not so many bird postcards the next time I send to you!
Response: You're welcome. I'll message you.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting such a sunny swap.
Response: I'm thrilled that I could make you giddy!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you understand about those cows. Milk really does taste better from happy cows who are dancing in meadows - and many people never have a chance to taste great milk and ice cream. Horizon Milk, though organic, is from a factory farm too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like it!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you. I think we have many interests in common.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them. Thanks for hosting the swap and I liked your list.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad many are new to you. I don't buy as much as I have in the past and I think my older ones are new to people who joined Swap-bot and KSU more recently than I did.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the RAK new year's greetings. Those washi stickers are gorgeous!
Response: Lucky you - this swap traveled faster than most things I send to Canada! I'm always happy to share banknotes from my little pile of worthless Indian currency that cost me $100.
Response: Thank you for participating in the swap. I'm glad you like the little folder - they are a favorite of mine so I hoard them.
Response: You're welcome. Best wishes for the holidays.
Response: You're welcome. I love sharing cuteness of all sorts.
Response: You're welcome. I wish I could have found more boxes of them when I bought them.
Response: You're welcome. The surfbird was new to me too - such great surprises in sets of postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for participating in all the fun!
Response: And I can't even remember what I write in those notes - they are very much of the moment!
Response: Thanks for joining. It's fun hosting this series.
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I like spoiling you.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for hosting the swap. I had to make up my own challenge. 8-D
Response: You're welcome. In the next few months you can send me reminders of heat and humidity!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad this traveled quickly to the Philippines - only two weeks after I mailed it!
Response: Thank you for the rating and for participating. Yes, people come and go in these swaps. Like the bags, it's sometimes easier to use the forum to keep them moving along.
Response: Great! I'm so glad you're participating.
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy to share my stash with new people.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad your back to swapping.
Response: You're welcome. You did say you like cute kitties. 😼
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like the tokidoki coloring postcards because I'm not a colorer...
Response: You're welcome. I got those postcards more for kawaii friends on Swap-bot than Postcrossing. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. I'm glad you liked them because I randomly counted and bagged them before Pattie assigned partners.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sending you mail.
Response: I'm glad its slower than slower trip to your home is most uncommon.
Response: I'm glad I could brighten your day - that postcard needed the perfect recipient too.
Response: You're welcome. I've been hoarding those Satoru Tsuda postcards. They and the notecards are still available on Amazon.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. It's all about aspirational travel and my list is too long for my budget.
Response: You're so welcome. I had fun collecting and packing everything. Are you going to put a face on the poseable pumpkin?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they arrived safely. I'll put a comment on your profile about sending and rating to support your be patient message!
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun swapping with you.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. Practically the first thing I look for in any museum in any part of the world are the ceramics exhibits and Korea has one of the best I've ever seen.
Response: Thank you for the lovely rating.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun choosing them for you.
Response: You're welcome and thank you. I look forward to the beginning of the school year because then I'll know how he really is.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. That stop on my road trip was the first time I'd been to a dairy farm tourist attraction though not my first dairy farm. My grandfather was a dairy farmer.
Response: You're welcome. I put collected the sticker flakes before you assigned partners. Will you send the postcards, such them away, or post them on a wall?
Response: I'm glad you like the postcards. The staples came out of my spouse yesterday and now he can do everything except move furniture.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun choosing them.
Response: You're welcome. Sabo Kappa is great. Perhaps San-x will bring it back. All my little notes and lists for my spouse's recovery are on kawaii.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I hope you had a chance to send along you extra postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I knew that Ferris wheel was perfect for you. I like it when that happens.
Response: You're welcome. I'm looking forward to receiving your package.
Response: You're welcome. I try to pick the right ones. 😊
Response: You're welcome. I wanted to send you cheerful goodies.
Response: You're most welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I've found quite a few fotofolio postcard boxes on Amazon and have many on my wish list. Search term is fotofolio postcards.
Response: Would you please check the postmark? I put extras in the first swap I mailed and exactly five when I resent the swap.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you're going the Tokidoki coloring postcards a good home.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're so welcome. I baked on Tuesday and Wednesday for book club at my home and everything was lovely, without trauma.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sharing my everyday life.
Response: You're welcome. Adams's work is iconic in the US. He once said photography requires patience. He'd wait for hours for the perfect picture.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun sharing kawaii with you.
Response: Thank you for hosting the swap. I'm glad you like what I sent.
Response: You're welcome. When I was pulling postcards for you, I felt cards I have and your interests were a fortuitous match. I look forward to keeping in touch.
Response: You're welcome. This one reminds me to read swap descriptions carefully. 👀

Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you like everything.
Response: You're so welcome
Response: I love a spot-on apt comment. I'm glad there are new-to-you cuties.
Response: You're so welcome. You know, it's one of those things that you start looking and they are everywhere.
Response: You're welcome. The whole set of postcards has photos of people I don't recognize and when I look the back I think, Oh, of course!
Response: We are watching snow melt slowly during the day and freeze into sheets of ice at night, though all slowly so we don't have flooding. Friends ten miles to the south have wet basements.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed my letter and the tidbits from my kawaii stash.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: I'm happy to share a love of Wanroom with you. I would enjoy a real human-sized Wanroom chair. If we get to S I can use it again, for sofa.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you love it.
Response: I'm a little superstitious. The second envelope was the charm that made the first envelope arrive. Enjoy all the postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart. 💚
Response: You're welcome. I remembered your Fb post about wanting the sticker sack because you liked the package.
Response: You're welcome. I'm impressed that you recognize the washi tape. I had to stop buying it for a while because the collection outgrew my storage box. I find the San-x tapes aren't sticky.
Response: You're welcome. Good thing I didn't send your Holstein cows in Wisconsin postcards. Actually I've not bought any in a while.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Did you watch the videos?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I learned that they built Taliesin West because Wright had recurring pneumonia in Wisconsin winters. Now all we do is get the vaccine.
Response: You're welcome. I need to do something with all those incoming sticker flakes!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy to share those cats.
Response: You're welcome. Temps warmed up then dropped again so there's lots of ice and now on top of that many inches of new snow and more expected. I ought not bake too much when life is fairly sedentary at the moment.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, awful weather. I drove back from central Wisconsin early this morning to be home before the snow - and I almost made it. At the moment we are struggling with a logo, and an artist who thinks a logo is good art.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for hosting a fun swap - and you're spoiling me too. But isn't that the fun of swapping?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad many are new to you.
Response: I'm sure Trader Joe's is the only place you can find organic toaster pastries, and likely all sold out as were falafel mix and tahini.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy filling slams but wouldn't start one because they are exhausting!
Response: You're welcome. Don't you just love that little ghost that is actually a dollop of whipped cream?
Response: Your welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad you were my send-to partner. I had fun filling all the empty spaces in your slam - I like being last. Thank you for joining my swap. Have a great holiday. ** Update 12/25. That sticker sheet is an old one from my cache of sticker sheets. It looked perfect for you. Have yourself a merry Christmas.
Response: I found lots of videos about building bread ovens and pizza ovens with bricks in our back yard. Too bad my spouse thinks it's not a very good idea. He's probably right.
Response: You're welcome. I wanted to send that postcard to someone who would enjoy its weirdness.
Response: You're very welcome!
Response: Thank you for voting! I have many ferns in our shady garden though only two kinds: Ostrich and Interrupted. Ostrich ferns are taking over everywhere so I put cardboard and raked leaves over the largest area.
Response: You're welcome. I'm catching up now, with loads of laundry and stacks of mail.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you had fun guessing. I sent off many sticker flake bags, on their way or home. I got them all out the door and *then* another package arrived from Pattie.
Response: Awww... you're so sweet. You're welcome.
Response: I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're so welcome
Response: You're welcome. Once I've published that website I'll set up a private swap for sticker flakes.
Response: If I recall, it's one batch of food with faces and another of animals being food which isn't the same as food with faces. About 20 toasts, all different, looked cute on Amazon then were too small to send naked. Good swap tags.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap. It was perfect timing, after I'd received an order that accidentally included a duplicate.
Response: Thanks for hosting a fun swap - I gathered what I could find before I signed up - I'm glad you liked all the black and white -
Response: You're welcome. I wanted to let you know how good my travels were this summer. In October I'm heading east and will take a few days camping on the way. Not coming back - it's too cold.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'll keep those sticker flake bags moving along.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: I'm so glad you like everything. Your profile is a great inspiration for gathering goodies for you.
Response: You're welcome. The studio where I take yoga has lots of different classes, and some teachers mix different styles of yoga in one class. I'm taking gentle yoga and stretching classes like yin must now. When I'm able I'll add Vinyasa classes.
Response: You're welcome and you're welcome. It's a quiet summer for me - I'm going to Chicago for a long weekend to visit my brother in a couple of weeks. Greg is taking my shift in the mini doughnut booth this year because I'm not quite up to six hours of standing. In October I'm heading east for three weeks, camping in TN, NC, and VA, hopefully avoiding leaf peepers, then heading north to visit family and friends.
Response: You're welcome. Is that Caitlin who said cool?!!
Response: I had a lovely time up north. Except for all the bugs. And no showers. The lakes were too cold for swimming, for me. I came home with layers on layers of insect repellant and sunscreen, and not too many mosquito bites. I've had West Nile virus so I'm not worried about that.
Response: You're so welcome. I enjoy finding postcards for all the wacky holidays.
Response: You're welcome. Watching the corn grow tells me how far along summer is. Luther Seminary has put 15 acres of woods at the end of our block up for sale. There goes the neighborhood.
Response: You're welcome. The weather here is hot and wet. The cornfields in our neighborhood (agricultural experimental fields) already have tassels. Rain and heat make corn grow faster.
Response: I was working on menus for my trip next week. The order of the meals depends on how well the ingredients keep. At the end of the week we'll have an Indian dinner from excellent ready-made packets!
Response: You're welcome. I'm working on the menus today and we'll have readymade Indian packet dinners the last night out. They keep well.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! Keep moving, keep moving comes to mind.
Response: I'm glad you like it. It's one of those cards I set aside for just the right person.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad it intrigues you. I look forward to your opening everything.
Response: You're welcome. That one really looked like space to me! I learned recently that the eclipse stamps are heat sensitive. Hold your warm thumb over the glossy part of the stamp to see another image. The new popsicle stamps are watermelon-scented!
Response: You're so welcome. I had fun choosing them for you.
Response: You're welcome! Follow me on Instagram - same ID as I have here - you'll see my photos from this trip and the upcoming trips.
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt.
Response: We've got flowers! We've got flowers! Crocuses and scale are in bloom and the buds on trees are getting fat. There's still a little snow in shady places.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt. And I think you'd lost a few to a hurricane the last time you were my send-to partner.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: I'm glad I made you laugh!
Response: You're welcome! So many cats on your profile pointed me in that direction.
Response: You're welcome. My father grew up on a dairy farm and I visited my grandparents there when I was growing up. Dad and his only sib, my aunt didn't stay on the farm.
Response: You're welcome. We are healthy though buried under 24" of new snow that fell over the weekend. I'm getting stir crazy! About the octopus: I left you a comment with a link to the set.
Response: I chose those flakes for you so you can host the swap again...
Response: You're welcome. One can tart up tuna noodle casserole so it's pretty good.
Response: You're welcome. Have you always lived in Waldoboro?
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt.
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm so glad they finally landed in your mailbox!
Response: You're welcome. We expect 8 inches of snow Friday and another 15 inches Saturday. My spouse hopes it'll turn into rain before it gets here, all the better to wash away the snow that's still here.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun making a menu for the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun choosing them for your.
Response: You're welcome. I nearly missed it too!
Response: You're welcome. I like Bauhaus textiles. The photo nicely represents their colors.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything.
Response: In the sky is correct! You know those Halloween cards with ghosts flying in the sky over haunted houses...? That's how they got into the pile.
Response: It's a lovely challenge. Thank you for hosting. And next time I'll take a photo of the envelope because I don't remember what I sent! I look forward to Part 2.
Response: Thank you and you're welcome. I enjoy these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I kept that postcard to send to someone who would appreciate it with me.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed the swap. Thanks for hosting it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I didn't send holiday items! I slipped on ice and broke my leg in the end of January. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I slipped on ice and broke my leg in the end of January. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm happy to move them along.
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy that it arrived in your mailbox so quickly, a week after I sent it. I guess your postal service is catching up.
Response: You're welcome. What goes around comes around!
Response: You're welcome. I aim to please.
Response: You're welcome! Be sure to make lots of time to go to museums in Paris. Every one is a gem.
Response: Last weekend I headed south, to Chicago where it was 25° warmer than our hometown. My spouse stayed home to make sure the pipes didn't freeze. Now it's balmy, above freezing!!!
Response: We have a few days of balmy weather, with temps above freezing. We make our trip tomorrow, a four hour drive the Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to see my in-laws.
Response: I'm delighted that you're delighted! A wool sweater, wool socks, and a wool blanket will help you through those freezing temps better than fleece. Friends who live in Israel without heat do this. When I go in the winter I always take along a wool sweater.
Response: You're welcome. We have balmy weather for a few days, above freezing!!!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it's *real* happy-making mail. And I know exactly what you mean by sending well before the send by date. I'm still waiting for two US cards sent on the send by date, December 31st.
Response: You're welcome. When I cut that one, I thought how nice it would be to make more recipe postcards that way.
Response: You're welcome. I'm also active in Kawaii Swapping USA.
Response: You're welcome. I know mail to Canada is slow... postcards to Germany arrive more quickly than postcards I send to Canada!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Now I've seen your Xmas tree! I wondered if you hung an artificial tree from the ceiling and whether it was right side up or upside down -
Response: You're welcome. My husband likes our low key Chanukah - lighting candles and chocolate gelt - gold coins. Now we are watching our pipes since temps are heading down to -20°F. This morning at 10 it was -15°F.
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Happy Christmas, Pattie & Erica!
Response: You're so welcome. Happy Christmas!
Response: You're welcome. It's nice to get lots of mail. I hope it's no more trouble to open another envelope.(Joke)
Response: You're welcome. I've had the pad of write and fold stationery for years and realized recently it's nice for blank postcard swaps. I would love to stop and meet you!
Response: You're welcome. Your well-filled profile helped 😉
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun to pull from way back in my collection to choose something for you.
Response: You're welcome and yes it was the second night. I have beeswax candles this year and they burn nicely.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for inviting me to join your lovely group. I'm enjoying it.
Response: You're welcome. Happy holidays - and best wishes for days until...
Response: I'm always happy to share a laugh! Now I'm collecting cardboard for the next round. It's not so easy because I buy few prepared foods.
Response: Neither had I, until I came across the set of 100 postcards in a remainder bin. Every single card in the set is wonderful!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the hearts. Gotta love all those pictographs!
Response: Airbnb is the best way to find lodging in NYC, especially if you want to stay in the Bronx. Find a place located near a subway station rather than driving. PM me when you're ready to go if you'd like help making plans. I've lived and worked there, and we visited often when I was growing up.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, we have a good time on Thanksgiving, with some visiting family that we don't see often enough.
Response: I'm glad it peaked your interest! Merry Christmas and best wishes for the coming year.
Response: You're welcome. Best wishes for all the holidays!
Response: And a bit silly. 😄 You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: Thank you for the rating
Response: No problem. I know you've been busy moving and such.
Response: Thanks for the heart. The dishes are all done now so I can catch up on everything else!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome! Actually I tried to be a bit more subtle: Grayscale animals! (It was test kitchen the other day. I made maple and pumpkin custard to take to a dinner party, in prep for our nearly gluten-free holiday. It was excellent.)
Response: You're welcome. The outcome of the first experiment on Friday was excellent. I took maple pumpkin custard (gluten-free) to a dinner party and everyone thought it fabulous.)
Response: Yes! Though I might hoard leftovers. Will you be away over the holiday?
Response: I'm glad. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Your'e welcome.
Response: I'm still raking, more this afternoon when it warms up a bit. Our neighbor's silver maple finally started dropping its leaves last week so that's more raking.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I thought it perfect for you. I think it heralds the beginning of graphic novels, and Spiegelman's Maus series was among the first. (I saved an image of it.)
Response: You're welcome. The card I sent you is from a set of 100 I was thrilled to find recently.
Response: You're welcome. The temple was one of my favorite stops on our trip to Japan. Excellent food too.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Are the oak trees with large leaves live oaks? My sister has a huge one in her yard in Texas.
Response: You're welcome. Those bento ones are a favorite of mine too.
Response: You;re welcome. I'm glad you like the postcard. We had snow yesterday and temperatures around freezing - and lots of leaves still on the trees. Everyone says the worst was the Halloween blizzard of 1991. Kids couldn't trick or treat.
Response: You're welcome. I had a piece of birthday cake for breakfast this morning. 8-D
Response: Yes! It's Halloween. I've bags of candy hidden away so we don't start in on them early.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sharing postcards from my large horde.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. And now there's #MeToo.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Sigh. Turns out the door-to-door guys were all wrong. CenturyLink doesn't have fiber optic service in our neighborhood. I'm composing an irate letter!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you like it! I've been hoarding several for people who will especially appreciate them.
Response: You're welcome. I've a few more days in sandals now because it got warm again though it's cold enough at night so we have more autumn colors every day.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad the linen ones - your favorites - made it through the heavy weather. Let me know if there's *anything* I can do to help, e.g., a care package.
Response: I thought you'd like the Nyankoland stickers! I'm glad I could share them with you.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting all the swaps to keep bags moving along.
Response: You're right! ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ Thanks for joining my swap!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, it is a different take on the world.
Response: You're welcome. I've never actually seen a painting by Frida Kahlo: only in books and postcards.
Response: I love those vintage images. They give me a feel of the continuity of the fair. I don't get quite the same feeling when I volunteer for a day at a mini donut booth, with those donut-making robots!
Response: You're welcome. The fair is over now, until next August!
Response: You're welcome. And I'm glad you like the stickers too.
Response: You're welcome. Now we know that mail can go overnight from me to you. Tomorrow I go to work at Grandstand Mini Donuts.
Response: You're welcome. I appreciate lots of great photos of the eclipse people are posting online, especially because we had clouds and rain rather than a view of the eclipse.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad there are black and white drawings in that Disney set for this series of swaps.
Response: You're welcome. What I noticed in India was how quite it got during the eclipse, both people and animals.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. The real painting is beautiful too. 😊
Response: You're welcome. All the food ones I have on hand...
Response: You're welcome. I'm sure sharing is why there are so many pages in each memo pad.
Response: You're welcome. I'm ground-averse too, for sleeping, which is why the rooftop tent appeals to me. They come with nice foam mattresses and I can add a memory foam topper. It'll all stay in the tent when I collapse it to break camp.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for the effusive comment!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, I saw your FB photo. It's good that there's lots of ice in TX!
Response: You're welcome. It is about noon now, temps in the 60s and I'm listening to machines lay down pavement on our street.
Response: You're welcome. The most important packing trick is a stack that stays stacked in transit so corners don't bend.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything that I can't remember putting into the package!
Response: You're welcome 🖒🖒ðŸ‘
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks for the speedy rating!
Response: You're welcome. You too might find an octagon house near you! Are you near Clay, MS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_octagon_houses
Response: Email me the photo and I'll see whether that came from an open stack I have. It might be from my bowl of received sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome. The zucchini bread was great, though I think many of the ladies don't eat carbs!
Response: You're welcome. I should probably keep my incoming sticker flakes in a covered jar rather than a bowl that tips over every once in a great will.
Response: You're welcome! The only reason I noticed was because it was in the queue next to an unrated swap that's headed to Peru.
Response: You're so welcome. And I look forward to solving the mystery.
Response: You're welcome. When you go to New England, you'll find lots of great antique malls in New Hampshire.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all those camels!
Response: You're lots welcome! This swap was the perfect opportunity to send a B&W card from my Disney box.
Response: I'm glad you like the card - that set is almost all gone - and thanks for your traveling advice. At the moment, I'm wondering if I can drive to Costa Rica.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the quick rating.
Response: Yes, yoga. Though it doesn't burn as many calories as gardening. You're welcome. Double hearts: it's the thought that counts.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're right! The theme is cats. When I was collecting sticker flakes for the blue and yellow swaps, I realized I have quite a few cats, probably because I love maneki-neko.
Response: You're welcome. Now that our temps are in the 90s my planting is on hold too. I need to keep the bulbs healthy in the meantime.
Response: You're welcome! In the end we didn't go out. I spent most of the day emailing people to sort out an unfortunate situation. Hopefully we'll take care of that next week. Then we grilled a nice steak for dinner.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much yard work this week - it's too hot and humid.
Response: You're welcome. Enjoy!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks so much for hosting the swap.
Response: Impressive? Do you mean emptying so many sacks? Now if we can figure out how to avoid receiving the same flakes we send...
Response: You're welcome. Most of them actually go back a year or more.
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm glad you like them. I hope the rest of my summer measures up to that early trip!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy being in touch with everyone.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad the postcard arrive safe and sound.
Response: You're welcome. I had a lovely trip seeing family and longtime friends, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Response: You're welcome. Did you notice that it's a redhead?
Response: You're welcome. At first people were few and far between, then I found a crowd.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. It's finally spring here in Minnesota - I thought it would never come.
Response: Last night we went to a friend's home for Shabbat dinner and I took a chocolate cake, the Chocolate Dump Cake, a recipe from NYT Cooking. It travels well *and* it tastes wonderful. The icing is melted chocolate chips and sour cream.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Do you know the saggy baggy elephant story?
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. This is the last renovating this year. The other day they started tearing up the streets in our neighborhood to replace water mains and pavement and won't be done until August. The rest of this year's projects will wait until next year.
Response: You're welcome. I was thrilled to share such an important cooking discovery.
Response: You're welcome. I know you'll always rate!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for hosting the swap. Tonight we're having potatoes in some form. Maybe soup? Then matzoh the next night. I rotate carbs.
Response: You're welcome. This is the last swap for me for a while. Having painters all over the house will keep me busy through the end of February. Thanks for hosting this.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the cats are easy to please.
Response: You're welcome. And I'm glad you're okay with extras.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good challenge.
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I suspect you might when I chose it.
Response: You're welcome. I grew up in Wilmington, DE and snow was a big event there. When I moved here, I learned that snowmobiles were invented here. Also Bobcats. People love their machines.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you.
Response: You're welcome. If I could find tooth ones on a sticker sheet I would get one for my dentist whom I love.
Response: You're welcome. Happy winter!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I knew that postcard was perfect for you. It's a poster from a fabulous collection of Modernist art located here in Minneapolis.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Staying warm means hauling around 25 pounds of coat, boots, wool accessories, ... and under that several more layers. It's exercise actually.
Response: You're welcome. I like little for Chanukah too, to remind me that it's a little holiday. We like the holiday lights around here because our days are so short. I have a string of blue LED lights that we "light."
Response: You're welcome. I went several months without buying sticker sacks because I wasn't seeing new ones in the places where I shop. Just recently I bought several from an etsy shop.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. May you find lots of light ðŸ®ðŸ®ðŸ® in this season of short days.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad to make your holiday a bit more merry!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sharing kawaii.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. Vintage is what happens when I'm clearing out odds and ends.
Response: You're so welcome. Next round there will be lots of new ones.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart and for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. Just don't forget about them! After my mother died we found stashes of gifts she bought throughout the year, going back several years. We had no problem sorting out who they were for. Too bad she wasn't around to enjoy the fun.
Response: You're welcome. We had a busy Thanksgiving. People dropped in throughout the day, around their own holiday dinner plans, and we were glad to see everyone. Six for dinner, and many for brunch the next day too.
Response: You're welcome. Your handwriting is lovely and I'm sure Union Star doesn't have a store like Wet Paint. I had fun choosing pens for you.
Response: You're welcome. I'm in the shopping and housecleaning phase of preparations.
Response: Whew! I'm glad we are good to go now. Matryoshka deco tape looked to me like the way to go. Does anyone ever ask for matryoshka tats?
Response: You're welcome. The cat flakes are from a Mind Wave series, Caller Collection.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I love nearly every postcard in the book, Posters from the British Empire. I wrote your address on two cards for the swap and just sent you both. So I sent four for the swap. :-D
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sending and receiving these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I look forward to seeing what you send me.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sending for this swap.
Response: You're welcome. I'm waiting for our electrician at the moment and following up on lots of details.
Response: You're welcome. This month we are reading "Brown Girl Dreaming" by Jacqueline Woodson. It's won all sorts of awards.
Response: Was your visit to MOA tourism? Local people told me there were charter flights from Tokyo to visit the mall as well as busloads from all over. It's calmer now and, sadly, Sanrio went out of business.
Response: Good good. Pattie sent me those seasonal goodies.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Mail to Canada seems to be moving along more quickly now.
Response: You're welcome. I have that box of 100 Dr Who postcards and when I noticed you like him...
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. I'm looking forward to this long running fun.
Response: Such a coincidence! You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Our famers market has apples and winter squash and Brussel sprouts now and limps along until Christmas with Christmas trees and greens in December.
Response: You're welcome. I glad you like the swap.
Response: I'm so glad and you're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Your answer is 95% correct. Speech bubbles represent thought, with bubbles between the words and the head. Speech balloons like the ones I selected represent words spoken. I know this because I work with graphic designers on website design.
Response: You're welcome. There's a very tiny audience for Julius Ceasar. I know because that postcard is from my trip to Germany in 2014.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Vogue is known for being ahead of the times!
Response: You're welcome. Next time you go to Boston be sure to visit the museum. They have an exhibit of glass flowers: 3D botanical prints that I first saw as a child. They recently cleaned and made new displays for them and the exhibit is gorgeous.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for your cute comment and the heart.
Response: thanks for the rating and the heart
Response: You're welcome. My trip to Germany seems long ago. It's about time for me to head overseas again.

Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you!
Response: You're welcome. I've enjoyed learning about the middle of the US since I moved here.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. I'm trying to figure out which main road - did you live on Fairview? And yes, as always, volunteering was fun.
Response: Yuuuuure welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Response: Interesting. When I was in NYC in June crews were getting ready to film at the natural history museum, making navigation a challenge.
Response: You're welcome. Since you're local, i.e., not international, I kept adding to the stack :-).
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Do come visit when the fair is on one year!
Response: It _was_ crazy. And the mom-to-be was only virtually at the shower. Her water broke 5 weeks before her due date. She participated by texts and photos, likely a relief to her boredom!
Response: Thanks for catching that and rating me. I was just a day away from nagging you!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. I actually bought the pc book at Kew which is amazing and yes we took the Underground.
Response: Yes green! Because leaves are beginning to change color. Winter is long here in Minnesota.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I know exactly what you mean. I found Swap-bot when Postcrossing was offline for a week and I was going through postcard withdrawal.
Response: I'm glad you like them!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the rating. Are you all settled now?
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: I saw the first several with people from work. We closed the department and went to the first show, a matinee, of the first film. We worked in astrophysics, on satellites.
Response: You're welcome! I send more than the swap count so that my partners can find ones they love close to the swap count. No one ever loves all of them!
Response: You're welcome. That postcard came to mind immediately when I read your profile.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like what I sent! Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'm busy thinking about the dish I'll take to share. I must remember to keep it simple.
Response: I'm so glad you like everything. As I mentioned in my note, it was an opportunity to de-dupe my stash a bit. And it's tempting to fill up those flat rate boxes!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. When I read about your liking wading birds on your profile I chose this to send rather than the postcard I chose when I signed up for the swap.
Response: Yes it was a one-stamp swap! Henry James is the new 3 ounce stamp. And I too was surprised that I had an animal with an umbrella. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm relieved that it did turn up and happy that you like what I sent.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome & thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're welcome! One ounce plus packaging ships as two ounces. It took some thought to keep it at two ounces, which means without bumps. I'm glad you like all the large memos.
Response: You're welcome. Lancaster is nice and the campus is lovely. My niece liked the (male) tour guide. In the end, I don't think we'll get her out of the upper Midwest for college.
Response: You're welcome. There is lots of regret here about what happened and discussions about what to do. For one thing, our city doesn't have oversight of the police department and more scrutiny is the minimum for now.
Response: You're welcome and I'm glad you like the postcard. I had fun reading your profile and choosing a card for you.
Response: You're welcome. My niece is from Arpin, Wisconsin, and the nearest "city" is Stevens Point, the city where my husband and her dad grew up.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. And you now know USPS forwarding works.
Response: You're welcome. It's from one of my favorite postcard sets, of fantasy book covers. They are all wonderful and I have only three left now.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I went for tricky this time: they are all washi paper stickers.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you liked everything. I had fun taking my niece out of her comfort zone in central Wisconsin.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for the heart. I had fun making the postcard.
Response: You're welcome! As I said, the selection is from the other half of my open sticker sacks, and I opened several more for the two 100 sticker flake swaps. And yes, the trip was fabulous, given that I was traveling with a teen who questions everything.
Response: You're welcome! As I said, it's half of my open sticker sacks, and I opened a couple more for the swap. Yes, I had a great time back east. It was more sightseeing than is usual for me, with my niece coming along.
Response: Will you have time to take some economics and political science classes? My coursework in economics makes me think quite differently about food. I wish we could have a long chat sometime.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything and that both arrived together. The difference in postage costs was > $1 so sending them separately made sense.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. I'm trying to wrap up all my open swaps and archive them before I head back east in a couple of weeks. My mind is already there I think.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you love zombie rabbits - they aren't my most favorite. And may your journal be happy too -
Response: You're right: just sweets. I wasn't feeling devious when I put it together. The garden has several days of gentle rain and the lilies of the valley are beginning to bloom. I think the lilacs now blooming are a bit earlier than usual, after a mild winter and several weeks of hot weather.
Response: You're sparkly welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for joining the swap. This is about as crafty as I get.

Response: You're welcome. I hope you visit New England soon. It's a great place to learn about the US.
Response: You're welcome. It was a very special trip: our hosts in Spain took us places regular tourists don't see.
Response: You're welcome. It sounds like you had a quick trip. I've glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. You're lucky to have feeders. Too many neighbors let their cats run wild for us to have a bird feeder. ðŸ¦
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart and the really quick rating!
Response: You're welcome. I wish Japan was an easy trip for me like it is for you! I enjoyed Tokyo and Kyoto and want to go back.
Response: You're welcome. People around here say the Mississippi is just a river like people back east say the Atlantic is just an ocean. Distance makes each more iconic.
Response: You're right and you're welcome. Of course I'll continue to host!
Response: You're welcome. I might need to do the extra-swap sending to lessen the load on my desk.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything. My packing in smaller parcels is to keep everything from shifting and getting corners bent. And our messages back and forth are a huge help.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. And a special thanks for your kind words.
Response: You're welcome. I'm not sure I saw that exact painting. I will just need to go back and look for it. After I visit a few places in the Southern Hemisphere.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the great comment. I'm glad you like them.
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. Sometimes ratings get stuck and don't turn up in the sender's ratings. Thanks for taking care of it.
Response: You're welcome. Where I bought the self-inking return address stamp: http://www.papersource.com/personalized_gifts/custom_stamps.html and they are 25% off now.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I really appreciate your prompt rating.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I have a whole box of fruits ðŸŒ. When I lost my mother, the Jewish rituals of mourning, good friends, and a good book helped me after her unexpected death. May you find peace with your memories of her. This is the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Not_Now,_When%3F_(novel)
Response: You're welcome. At some point, several years ago, I bought the Pomegranate bargain box of postcards - such a deal! Since I was receiving many in swaps, I put the best like this one away to use later. (About half the box went to Goodwill.) Now it's later and they came out of storage.
Response: You're welcome. That's from a set I enjoy sending from. They are quintessentially midwestern.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. That postcard is one of my favorite O'Keeffe postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the second one didn't come back to me!
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy to have amazed you!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I made a last-minute change of my plans, just for you.
Response: Me too! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. It's very much a MN art card: hot dish and almost Betty Crocker.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the second time is the charm.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the hearts.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I hit the sweet spot!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap and the quick rating.
Response: You're welcome. It was a nice swap to put together and to receive.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun decorating envelopes. I need to draw down that bowl of sticker flakes _somehow_
Response: You're welcome. Half Price Books has all sorts of Pomegranate remainders. I was happy to find puffins, 20 for $4.95. I went back for another box and had to settle for boats.
Response: You're welcome. Choices are a bit random. I have a box of open sticker sacks and go through them in order. I dropped the box the other day and now the order is even more random. I like the challenge of flat packing.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome - you are the perfect sort of person to whom to send it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad the resolution and printing were good enough for you to see the detail.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Your drawings are so original - I wish I could do that rather than just use all those stickers.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I love ukiyo-e prints.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: I love traveling too! Thanks for joining my swap and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I think I'm a paper engineer at heart. The problem that got me thinking: I really didn't want yet another bags swap to go large envelope rate.
Response: You're welcome. I was thrilled to find the perfect card for this swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'm not sure how to manage postcards I receive in blank swaps, short of labeling them all with the sender's ID. I'm glad you have a good solution. Cold weather is good - it kills off all sorts of vermin!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. A Valentine's Day heart about now?
Response: You're welcome. My grandmother had lots of in-all seriousness witty sayings like that. I think she never realized she was quotable.
Response: You're welcome. It's 2°F at the moment. We aren't walking after dinner and won't until it's a wee bit warmer. A couple of times a week I walk in the Mall of America with a friend, before the stores open.
Response: You're welcome. I couldn't find a book Valentine! I will look for 'The Book of Lost Things.'
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I am driving south, to TX around the same time that you're heading north. I hope I don't run into heavy spring weather and tornadoes that are increasingly common down there.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm so glad! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. This was from one of those rare postcard books where *every* postcard is great.
Response: I'm glad you like the packing. I am an engineer at heart, and have an efficient packing gene (from my father). I am always looking for ways to improve the packing. I'm glad you like all my new memos.
Response: Can I go to the Tetons with you? I understand it's part of the loop through Yellowstone and Glacier. I'll make the trip one of these years.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm sure your kids can figure that out!
Response: I'm so glad it arrived. I worried about it. And I hope you enjoy your adult coloring group.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes to send along with the swaps. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. You said you like snow... We have had less than a foot so far this winter. If we don't get more it's a dry spring for crops.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun swapping with you.
Response: I'm so glad all my cheer helped, as intended. Let me know if you need more.
Response: I'm glad you're in love with everything. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they go with your collection. Now, if I could remember what I sent.... 🗃
Response: You had a full mailbox today! You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: Yes! It's strawberries. Last time I did this swap, my partner couldn't guess my theme so I was more straightforward this time. I didn't include strawberry-scented girls. I'm glad you like everything and thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad I caught you as partner in one of your few swaps.
Response: You're welcome. Coming from the East Coast, it never occurred to me there would be lighthouses on lakes. Turns out there are quite a few on the Great Lakes.
Response: I'm glad you like everything - seems that mail goes west faster than it goes east (to me). I look forward to the arrival of your envelope.
Response: You're welcome. Now that I've sent all the postcards from that trip, I want to go back and see Jane Austen's rural haunts.
Response: So sorry. I wrote a note listing all the categories and cards and thought I put it in the envelope. I'm glad you like them. Perhaps it's a fun puzzle? (I'm hosting a guess the theme swap :-)
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Okay, now I know what vintage kawaii is - not in this decade, before 2011, right? You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I look forward to swapping with you again too.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap. I went through my whole box of open sticker sacks - there are about 60 at the moment - and found every bit of faux postage in the box. And using that stamp show stamp was intentional. I'm glad you noticed that detail.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like that iconic view of Berlin.
Response: You're welcome. I made littles piles of colors before I signed up for the swap, to make sure I had everything. I left the tiny bags on my desk and added to them as I came across more stickers of the same colors.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I could broaden your sticker sack collection.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for your good wishes. We mostly see lady slippers in bloom at the arboretum. We've seen them blooming in the wild once.
Response: We are coming out of days of below zero temps. Fortunately we are between semesters and didn't need to go out. I'm looking forward to a warm day tomorrow - a high of 4°F.
Response: You're welcome. My pre-FB food diary helped me on this one. Now everything good lands in FB photos.
Response: You're welcome. It's nice to swap with you again. I look forward to more. I have some fabulous Buddha postcards from our trip to Japan. They need to travel in an envelope because the back has lots of good commentary. They'll wind up in your mailbox one of these days.
Response: You're welcome. The city art museum has a good collection of Native American art. Too bad it's only displayed in bits and pieces.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I could send you all that joy! I enjoy using sticker flakes. They land on each envelope somewhat randomly, from a bowl on my desk.
Response: Thank you for a healthy breakfast!
Response: You're welcome. I've been waiting for the right swap for that postcard!
Response: You're welcome. Are you all done with your holiday baking? LOL in MN is Land O Lakes. Outside of MN people see only the butter. It's a large dairy farmers' coop and manufactures dairy products like the cheese powder for Cheetos. A noble business I'd say.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun meeting the challenge. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: Thank you for the lovely compliment. Happy New Year
Response: You are so welcome! Happy new year.
Response: You're welcome. Happy New Year
Response: You're so welcome! Happy New Year

Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I aim to please.
Response: You are SO welcome! I'm glad you like it. Thank you for hosting a lovely break from school work for me.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. I've had that washi tape for several years. I have some Rilikkuma tape too, from the same manufacturer. It was a tiny slice of time when they were available.
Response: Rockwell is iconic, isn't he? Life is a little calmer now because I finished classes and final exams and grading is all done. On to other things this spring, with more time for swapping.
Response: You're welcome. Sending a few off means it's okay to buy a few more. :-)
Response: I'm glad you love the postcard. I've had it for a while, saving it for the right person, one who would appreciate it as I do.
Response: You're welcome. I've just recently learned all about adult coloring books and didn't realize the postcard book (a gift from my sister) was from an adult coloring book.
Response: I was last in Paris more than 20 years ago - I'm about ready to go now and find the answer to your question (I'm glad you like the postcard)
Response: You're welcome. Now I'm dropping off the radar for a while. I have homework problems to finish.
Response: You're welcome. I try to rise to the packaging challenge 8-D
Response: The stickers on the back are the ones that would have gone over the map. Thanks for hosting another fun swap.
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you more-than-like them.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome, sugar. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. What can I say - I'm a science geek from childhood because my father was a scientist and always explained everything.
Response: You're welcome. I always feel lucky when I can hit more than one item one someone's wish list as well as the swap requirements. Norman Rockwell and Xmas, even though it's out of season :0)
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad you like it. It was the bluest postcard I had on hand. It came in a set of postcards, all great shots of the AGO architecture.
Response: You're welcome. I saw an exhibit of Monet's Giverny paintings - the water lilies - all in one place, in NY. It was fabulous.
Response: You're welcome. In a while it won't be so easy to send lots new to you :-).
Response: You're welcome. I always appreciate people who appreciate the effort I put into swaps I send. Thank you.
Response: You're welcome. It's was the wateriest postcard in my collection. No problem - I expect vacation days in the summer.
Response: You're welcome. I love using all the stickers I receive. So far the bowl fills up more quickly than I can empty it. I might need to start doing backs too.
Response: You're welcome. Hand stamping? Having postage stamps hand cancelled? Hand cancelled postcards go through machines anyway, in our area, for sorting. Some postcards travel better than others.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Dachau is quite a sad place. It was a hard place to visit and our memories are the memorial.
Response: You're welcome. Sadly, I did not have a good view Mt. Fuji when I visited Japan. Of course that means I need to go back.

Response: You're welcome. At the moment I'm figuring out which 3 of 4 courses I'll take this fall because I'll also teach an undergraduate course: a full load
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I enjoy reading English historical novels too and just for that reason we made a side trip to Bath. I learned that Bath fell out of favour because people got sick and died from bacteria in the water.
Response: You're welcome. I suspect the red uniform in modern times is a dress uniform. They look more like state troopers when they are on the job.
Response: You're welcome. I was happy that we have butterfly stamps I could use too.
Response: You're welcome! What brought you to Lake Superior? The less well known lift bridge is over the St Croix River near Stillwater.
Response: (I received my box today.) Thank you so much for hosting this swap. I had a great time putting the package together for you. I'm glad it thrilled you. 😊
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. I hope you see a covered bridge some day. I'm surprised they aren't building them now - it's less expensive than wiring bridges with electric ice melters.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart too.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. I had fun choosing the cards for you.
Response: I reluctantly give up my source: http://etsy.me/1KII3N1. Her website is http://www.cutetape.com
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Your'e welcome. Today I'm baking a lemon cake for the family reunion - the first time I'll turn on the oven in weeks.
Response: You're welcome. It was a fascinating tour. The castle has "nightingale" floors (just like our house). They were built to creak when walked on so that no one could sneak through the palace. There's a good Wikipedia article about them.
Response: I'm glad you like it. When my spouse sees letters going into the mail covered with stickers he invariably says, oh, that's what they're for. He knows they are not wasted.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. I'm happy to see more of Nara's art in US museums.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. There's a textile museum in Toronto too. They had an excellent exhibit of Guatemalan embroidery when I was there.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. (Since swap-bot doesn't have a mobile version, I rarely go to the site with my phone.)
Response: You're welcome. I like banana kitty too. My niece likes them too. If I see soulful eyes, those kitties might find a new home.
Response: You're welcome. The rabbit wasn't quite large enough to send as a die cut postcard.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
