Comment: Marit, what a beautiful swap you sent me! Everything is so cheerful and uplifting, every tea is perfect, and your uplifting attitude is a bright ray of sunshine...which I imagine you bring to everyone you meet. Thanks so much, and cheers of a lovely spring. Many hearts and hugs....jinanne

Comment: Thank you so much for this great envelope and the lovely postcard. It was amazing. Thank you and sorry for the late rating

Comment: Thank you for the letter and tea, I'm going to try your favourite one first.Never been to Greece but have been looking at it for a long time, just might be the next vacation. :)

Comment: Thank you! This swap has been fun.

Comment: Thank you for sharing your tour of your supermarket. It looks really big. I love the aisle full of deserts!

Comment: Wow, Marit, thank you ever so much for the many pictures you included of your supermarket! It was a fascinating tour! One question: Do you have to buy those recipe cards? Or are they free to take? (Is the top middle one soup? It looks good!) :-) Thank you so much for sharing!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter and incredibly pretty envelope! I really love the colours of it and also that stamp you used! It was so fun having a swap partner who I already follow on Instagram because I really do love your mail art. Also, 'do more of what makes you happy' is an excellent phrase to live your life by! I hope you continue to have loads of fun making mail art :)

Comment: WOW!!! This was the most adorable little package. Thank you SO much for this wonderful swap. It means a lot that you chose a postcard (that I do not have) and the envelope just for me! It was packaged beautifully. This put a huge smile on my face, thank you! I'm very jealous of your upcoming trip to Yellowstone, you will LOVE it!! I can't wait to go back.

Comment: Thank you for this beautiful swap. I will most definitely try the new recipe included. I love trying dishes from other cultures and countries so thanks!!! Just gotta use Google translate for it. 😚

Comment: Loved the envelope and postcard - thank you! I have not seen Train live - I'd like to though! They don't come to Australia very often.

Comment: Hello Marit! I loved the illustration on your handmade envelope and the postcard is so cool, thank you for including the artist name, i will definitely look up his work. Happy Swapping :]

Comment: LOVE how you created the envelope.....so creative and crafty!!!! :)

Comment: I was delighted with your swap. Every detail is amazing. I loved it. I am grateful for everything you sent. Thank you very much: D

Comment: Dank je wel voor je bijzondere boekje, erg leuk. Wat leuk met iemand uit Hoogvliet te swappen, als je zin heb om een keer te knutselen dan kunnen we een keer afspreken als je zin hebt.

Comment: Dank je wel voor je gezellig thee PL. Er valt steeds weer iets nieuws te ontdekken. De tekening van de theedrinkende dame op de envelop is zo schattig. En ik vond de uilenpostzegel zó lief. Is die uit een serie of is het een persoonlijke?

 

Comment: What a great bucket list! If you can do half of those amazing things, I shall be impressed. You must try the sky diving.I share your love of travel. escape rooms??? I haven't heard of that. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Comment: Bedankt voor je leuke vrolijke post.

 

Comment: Wow! Thank you so much for this awesome envelope of happiness! You put the biggest smile on my face 😃. And a special thanks for your lovely letter ❤😘

Comment: Dear Marit, thank you so much for your wonderfully purple letter! Everything was carefully put together with much thought. The mailart envelope was beautiful and with lovely stamps (you seem to have many great stamps in NL) I loved your bird/butterfly theme. 💜 Loved the postcard! And I enjoyed reading your long letter. Thank you for putting so much care into this swap. Loved it! 💜💜💜

Comment: Love this pretty mini pocket letter! Thanks!

Comment: Wow, what a wonderful swap!!! The envelope you made is beautiful, what awesome stamps (here you can also make stamps with pictures you took, but unfortunately it is too expensive) and I love how you packaged the items up inside. I am excited to try the tea and using the craft supplies. I especially love the papers with the steering wheel. As you probably saw from my profile, I love nautical things. :) Your letter was a pure joy to read and finding we have some things in common. Are you looking for any new pen pals? If so, I would be more than happy to write you a letter. If not, that's okay too. :) Thanks for letting me get to know you a bit!

Comment: Marit! Today I received your beautiful envelope filled with a gorgeous letter and some really fun goodies! Thank you So much for this!! I love your letter and though I know the swap doesn't require it, I am going to write a letter to you in return!!! I have a deep connection with Holland! My grandfather's family are all Dutch and also my closest friend lives in Amsterdam! I hope to visit in 2018!! Thank you again! A letter will be on it's way soon! HUGS and have a LOVELY DAY!! <3

Comment: Thank you so much for my very beautiful mini pocket letter. It is so beautiful and thoughtful. I will always treasure it.

Comment: Hi Marit! I really enjoyed reading about your September travels, life changes and just life! It is all so interesting! Thanks also for the added goodies! Wishing you all the best on your new studies! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Sorry, I forgot to rate. First off, I liked your presentation of your photos with the descriptions. My favorites were the cloud reflection, the black & white items & the colorful envelopes. They are very lovely.

Comment: Hi Marit, thank you so much for your sending! It was fun unpacking it! Do you know "The 10th Kingdom"? It was a mini TV series based on a book. Full of fairy tales! BTW: that Montgolfiere stamp is gorgeous! Not long ago I created a postcard using the famous ballon!

Comment: Thank you so much for the happy cute mail! I loved reading what you like about each tea, and I can't wait to try them. Danke je!

 

Comment: thank you so much

Comment: Beautiful pictures with beautiful descriptions my son and my partner would love the theme park. I took them to Orlando last year and they loved it. We plan on going back one day.

Comment: Hello, thank you so much for the letter! ♥ Absolutely loved it every part of it, hehe. It was really nice to read about your trip and all that greek food. c: Gdmw logo is very cool, too! So, thank you again. Have a great day! c:

Comment: Really nice package.

 

Comment: Thanks for sharing your such interesting story with us. Hope to see you in future swaps. :-)

Comment: Thanks for all the extra goodies. I will get your return postcard in Fridays mail. I gather it should take about the same amount of them to get to you. I loved your personal note, that is always nice.

Comment: What charming letters you send! They put a big smile on my face just to see. And I think all the orange is really cheerful! It's strange to think that you don't have post offices- seems like the way it works for you is fine, but so far we still have dedicated buildings for it here. Thanks so much for sharing, and have a lovely day!

Comment: Thanks for the PC and cool envelope (and tea)! We do have that flavour of Magnum ice creams here but they look slightly different and taste mostly like frozen raspberry jam. I like the caramel ones better but it is already getting cold here so it's all about the hot chocolate now! I love the mountains too, we had the chance to go climbing in Jasper a few weeks ago, hard to beat the view! Hopefully I can visit Germany one day, closest I have been is Austria, I love to see the architecture and history:)

Comment: Thanks for the great postcards. They will go nicely in my collection.

Comment: Thank you so much for the interesting home library book postcard, it's really cool. Thanks also for including it in an envelope so you can send me a bookmark that's really thoughtful of you. It was fun that you used to book page to make an envelope too. Great swap!

Comment: Thank you so much for your gorgeous package! I loved everything you included, it was presented beautifully.

Comment: Yet again, I love the photos you've taken. I especially love the picture for the prompt 'ME'! I love how you displayed everything around 'yourself'. I also find it hard to meditate, sit still and think of nothing. I use a Shakti Mat {accupressure} yet not as often as I'd like. Your dinner sounded and looked lovely too, I like that sort of thing. Thanks heaps for sharing x

Comment: Thank you so much for the mail ! It really made me very happy 😬 !! The self made envie, bookmark and the teabag !! I really love this mail ! Thank you once again ! Nice handwriting btw :))

Comment: Hi Marit, thanks for the great envelope, twinkelz card and bookmark. My fav magnum is expresso.

Comment: Ahhh, I wish I could give you many more hearts and stars, Marit! Belated thank you for the brightly-decorated, darling Beatrix Potter trio of kittens -- I remember reading about Tom Kitten but haven't actually read the story or much of Ms. Potter beyond the Rabbit families' tales. (I will have to remedy that, stat! It's like realizing that I've never read P.L. Travers's Mary Poppins novels or not having finaly read either of Lewis Carroll's Alice novels until recently as an adult!) They remind me so much of my own kitties :) I am so glad you are pursuing your dream -- there is so much darkness and negativity right now, I am grateful for anything good and light! I am glad you had a great trip to the West Coast, and I hope you have a wonderful time in Greece! I loved mythology and architecture as a kid, so I would love to visit one day. Hope you are well and that our paths cross again soon <3

Comment: Thank you so much Marit! You sent so many things that I loved. It was wonderful that you took the time to write on two postcards and also a letter! Thank you so much, I love it! I hope to have future swaps with you. Have a great day! :)

Comment: OH! My package is wonderful-- the items chosen couldn't be more perfect for me! I am a retired children's librarian who loves mail art, reading, and rooibos tea! I LOVE that the little stars from the bookmark are on the postcard! (I apologize for the profusion of exclamation marks-- I just can't help it) I believe the quote you sent is right on point. My birthday was not long ago and I was thinking about getting older. I'm adding your quote to the ones that resonated with me then. As for the card-- I want a wall of books like this in my house-- I love how there is just a hint of what lies beyond. THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am delighted. Tricia. By the way-- I am an incessant reader as well-- right now I'm reading several things but the most compelling is The Empire of Things: How We Became a World of Consumers, From the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-first. By Frank Trentmann. It's fascinating!

Comment: Lieve Marit, hartelijk dank voor je fantastische pakje, lieve brief, de mooie kleurcombinatie, misschien minder lekkere, maar wel mooie theetje, super envelop. Het is gelukt: je hebt me een HAPPY MAIL gestuurd! Heel erg bedankt! En succes met je nieuwe levensstap! Graag tot een volgende swap!! <3 Ellen

Comment: I've never heard of these ... but i guess i will soon. My brother lives in Delden and works in Almelo. His children are still very small, so they're bound to get these books once they're able to read. Baie dankie :)

Comment: Wow! Your photo snap is so amazing:)

Comment: Wow, what lovely tea mail! Thanks for the yummy tea and for the beautiful letter :) I love it! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Comment: This was such a lovely swap. Thank you! I absolutely enjoyed reading about your day and what a beautiful handmade book. You were right the card was perfect. I pretty much love everything about your wonderful package. Thanks for sharing your day. You brought joy to mine. Happy Swapping!

Comment: Thank you so much! Beautiful package and very thoughtful!

Comment: Wonderful and amazing swap!! I loved it all!! I love how you had a blue theme...it is my first themed swap and I loved every single thing about it!! A hundred hearts and more for you!!! Ps...I love your stamps!! Esp. the sandy toes :)

Comment: THANK YOU! I can't wait to try all the teas, I love how much attention to detail you put into selecting them.

 

Comment: Hi Marit! Thank you sooo much for your lovely happy mail! You really made my day with everything! Your letter made me smile, I like the Cards a lot and the paper-stufrf I can use for the flipbooks *hurray* Thanks :-)

Comment: Hi Marit, thanks a lot for the teas!

Comment: Marit, I truly loved your photos! Thanks for giving me a glimpse into your life. The envelopes you make are lovely, I love the sound of the lentil stew - sounds similar to a lentil dhal I make which is hearty and delicious! Your words about the flower were bang on and so true! And I love the shelf - it felt so peaceful to me with the buddha and lovely earthy colours and fresh flowers. I think you would enjoy doing fat mum slims PAD challenge and sharing pics on instagram if you have it. You take very good photos. http://fatmumslim.com.au/august-photo-day-2016/

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful images and the detailed comments Tot Ziens

Comment: Fab pics Marit, everything is very orderly. I love the envelopes the most. I have some I made from designer magazines. Paper art is the most satisfying art of all.

Comment: What a wonderful envelope full of awesomeness!!! ❤ I wish I could give you more than just one heart because this was such a special swap. Everything from the mail art to the bookmark to the postcard was tailored to my profile and I truly appreciate everything that you put into it to make it extra special. You are amazing!

Comment: Hello Marit! Thanks for putting in effort, and sending a nice rendered postcard. Goodluck on your new job and continue to follow your dreams and what your heart dictates, that makes us happy. Hope to swap again with you!
