Comment: I received it this morning! Thank you so much, I really like the things you put in it, and I thought it was so nice that you explained where you got things from, the fabric is really pretty, and it's really touching that you shared some of your grandma's buttons with me! :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the card!

Comment: Wow! Grace, that is an amazing package. I love heart garland - I have a canopy bed and I think I will hang it on it.I also love the extras - fabric pieces and especially your spun yarn. Now I am inspired to take out the spindle I got a while ago...And yes, we should do a private craft swap in the future. I just came from permaculture convergence, where I made my first reed basket, so now I am checking out books on weaving baskets... So many interesting crafts- how to choose...

Comment: Thank you So much for this sweet bear cubs PC. They look quite cuddly, but I bet their Mama is nearby. I also enjoyed the quote you wrote with your message. Take care :)

Comment: Thank you! Just... my name is Cristina, not Christina XP

Comment: TY-he's adorable

Comment: Love the stickers, and the Starbucks stickers are so cool... Thanks so much. Happy Swapping

Comment: LOVE IT! I loved scalloped-edge postcards, especially from Edmonton - thanks so much!! (p.s. I'd want a lynx for a pet even as an adult,hee hee!)

Comment: Dearest Grace, I thank you for your thoughtfulness. It was a gift that kept on giving. :) I've never received a letter so uniquely formatted before. :) Thanks to you, I now have a strawberry to add to my eraser collection (new pennies too)! The brown paper wrapping concealing your photo adventure story reminded me of the very swap we have met by. :) And I'm glad we have. Beautiful gifts, especially your friendship and kindness. I really did feel the love in the package. I'll be sure to write you back as soon as I can. :) I hope we continue to stay in touch in Swap-bot. Smiles, Carolina

Comment: How very cool! I loved them!

Comment: Hey neighbour! Many thanks for the Henry lookalike....agh! Is there such a thing as too cute? That belly is screaming for a rub.

Comment: Oh, you made my day today! Just seeing the so cool flowery tape (where did you get that?!) made me smile! Yes, I'm a quilter, but I'm also an artist and I love and appreciate art that other people do...whether they are experienced or not. I LOVE the little quiltie that you made! You used all my fave colors and I love that the fab is from Africa! (did I mention that I love batiks!) The backing was equally cool with the lady holding a pot on her head! Thank you for sending some of the fab that you used in the quilt! All the extra bits were fantastic...and the elephants....THE ELEPHANTS...were the coolest thing ever! I love all the beautiful papers, fun stickers (Don't Steal This!) and even the cartoon and band aid! LOL. Thank you for your note on purple paper too....you really put together a special package for me. I'm going to hang your little quilt in my studio so I can admire it every day!

Comment: Grace, thank you so much for a lovely book insides and envelope full of secret surprises. I would give you a whole bunch of hearts if I could.

Comment: I received and LOVED your tea cup drawings and descriptions. The button one is definitely unique & fun with interchangeable buttons! I've had the TAZO berryblossom white tea and it's good; the green Republic of Tea Pomegranate Green tea I haven't had, but am looking forward to trying. Thanks for the extras too, along with your fun mailing envie!

Comment: You went well beyond the requirements for the swap! I love the BF and I can't believe you used an old pic of Angela. How cool! The buttons are gorgeous and I like how you made the wings. I used vintage buttons for mine as well! You did a great job with this and I appreciate the little extras too! Thank you so much!

Comment: thanks for sending your inspiring resolutions :)

Comment: congrats on writing your list and i hope you are able to achive them over the next year. if there is anything you think i can help with feel free to ask. lost of love!

Comment: Awesome goals!

Comment: Thanks for flaking on me...That wasn't very nice of you.

Comment: Beautiful yarn. thank you.

Comment: Oh the girls and Pretty Boy just love their treats! The girls learned very quickly what the treat bags look like and all I have to do is touch them and they come running. The hid their candy cane toys as soon as they got them so I've not seen them since! They do think my mom got the stuff for them though because she was over and helped them open their presents. They think everything I got them was from her too so.... Pretty Boy was a little wary of the treat balls at first but once he realized what they were he was very happy and sang a little song to them before he gobbled them up.

Comment: thanks for the yarn and post card

Comment: Thank you for such a lovely selection of wool and so nicely sent and presented. Read the rating from the person that left you a 1. Think that was just so unfair. Ok, make a point but don't go on and on and on!! Don't worry most people would see through that rating. I would happliy swap with you ANYTIME, and your letter didn't take too long to get here. I hope you have a really Happy Christmas and I look forward to swapping with you again.

Comment: Thanks for the extras!! Funny that your best friend lives here!! And nice choice!

Comment: Wow, handspun! I absolutely love it, Grace. Thanks so much. (( ))

Comment: I am envious. I would love to learn to spin. Maybe some day! Thanks!

Comment: My bf made me open everything as soon as I got it today lol.. and he tried to steal the chocolate!! and he ran around with the necklace you made on .. until the ribbon knots came out and it fell off.. lol. Thanks for the matchbox too.. it's my first one and the cute little envelopes you made!!! I LOVE IT ALL!! :) Especially the CD... You need more hearts!!

Comment: Thanks for the package.. My bf kidnapped the skeleton parachute guys though. lol. Go figure!!

Comment: Everything was so cute! Thank you!

Comment: I still haven't recieved anything, 26 days after deadline and way into Advent. I do believe you sent the package at deadline, but that doesn't help when the whole point about the swap was to receive the package before December 1st. Until now, I leave you with a 1, but I'll change it to a 3 as soon as I get the package. I really don't like to ruin anything for you by giving you a bad rating, but I don't see how I can give you a 5 either - no matter how great the package is when I recieve it. Even though you're a great swapper, maybe you should take your mail service for what it is and drop swaps where the recieving date is important? Because this swap is now just sad for both you and me - you for making the afford, sending it and getting a bad rating and me for not recieving what I signed up for. Delayments are okay, and I accept really much, but when you know mail from your place is really slow (I can see from other ratings that it have taken a month sometimes), you should take that in concideration when signing up for a swap like this. I hope you understand what I mean and think about it next year. Postage times aren't in your control, but when you're aware of how long time it can take, as it's not the first time it has taken this long time, I think you should either send packages really early and warn your partner about a possible delayment or realize that you cannot participate in all kinds of swaps because of these factors outside your control. I'm sorry it turned out this way...

Comment: Thank you for the cool ATC and the extras!

Comment: Frank is in the house and he's awesome. He's curled all up with his super blankie and teddy--telling us all about his trip. Thank you so much--especially when you had to make a second one. I LOVE it.

And I saw in your profile that you're on Vancouver Island. My boyfriend and I are currently looking into immigration laws so we can move to Vancouver. That whole part of Canada is so pretty! Also, a VERY random question, you mentioned being kind've hippy, so I'm curious to hear a local's take on your current prime minister.
