Comment: Sorry for the delay. Life has been insane. I thought for sure I had rated. I think I did and didn't save it. So I apologize.

Comment: Oh my gosh, Jen, what a cute and well put together little journal. I love the black and white imagery paired with the bits of neon pink and yellow, and little tags hidden in the pockets. So adorable...and like the poem as well! Thank you also for the envelope of cut out images...so sweet!

Comment: As much as I hate rating you this way, I never heard from you about sending late. It's a great journal and I love all the hard work you put into it!
Response: That’s fair - I somehow got 12/15 in my head as the send date because I usually join these monthly journal swaps with a different host and the dates are always in the following month. I haven’t been on the site often because all my current swaps are longer time frame, types, so I didn’t even realize I was late until I was way late ☹️ I thought I’d sent you an email at that point, though it wouldn’t have mattered bc I was already two weeks late. I’m really sorry, but I’m glad you liked the journal in the end

Comment: Hi, Jen!! Thank you so so so so so much for the lovely mini folio folder! You said we don't have much in common style-wise, and yet you nailed it with a cute Christmas theme! The construction of the mini folio was perfect too! Thanks for that 🩷 Wishing you a happy swapping and happy holidays!

Comment: Jen- I LOVED the tags! Like you, I made a bunch because it's easy to get in a rhythm with them- and like you, I chose pages that I didn't want to cover up with other embellishments! LOL- you did choose some wonderful pages- these will quickly go into my journals. Thank you so much!

Comment: You did a great job using the mystery supply, Jennifer! I love both ATCs. I really like that you painted some of the netting; that and the sewing it on is different than anyone else's I've received. Bravo!

Comment: First, I love this wolf ATC. Weird is a plus in my opinion and so is spooky. :) I really like the stars and webbing (?) that surround the wolf. Awesome use of that technique. Second, OMG -- I was speechless when I saw the Tarepanda. All of it is new to my collection, and I am giddy over it. lol Thank you so much for a thoughtful, generous, and creative swap! A bucketful of hearts to you! :)
