Response: Whoo hoo! Looking forward to following it on GC.com :)

Response: Oh, I'm so glad that you liked them!! I hope we can again, too. Be well and enjoy the washi!

Response: Yay! I'm glad to be an inspiration :)

Response: You're very welcome! It was my first time using embossing powder and I LOVED it. I will definitely incorporate that more in the future.

Response: Aw, thank you! Your comments mean a lot to me. I was watching some videos and feeling very nervous but that was what actually inspired me to do the "mail call" one -- so I'm glad you liked it. The shaker box (beach scene?) is actually a sticker I have had for YEARS that I was waiting for the right time to use! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Response: :)

Response: You're very welcome.

Response: :) This was a great swap! I really enjoyed it, too!

Response: Those are seriously my favorite thing ever! Glad you liked the envelope!

Response: :) I reacted much the same way - you should try it some time if you find a place that has it!

Response: I developed a taste for salt and double salt drop during our first exchange student's stay. The first time I was like, "ACK! What the heck is that?!" but slowly came to appreciate it. I make everyone try it. It is VERY hard to find unless there is a Dutch grocery around so we used to stock up in Holland, Michigan when we lived in the Midwest. Now that we're back in Vermont we have a Dutch bakery (Bakkerij Krijnen) for lots of sweet dutch treats. Our local chocolate shop also makes zuit drop... yum!

Response: :) I have never heard Crank That! I will have to check it out. Garth Brooks is hugely popular. Don't ask me why. Americans are weird :)

Response: Ooooh, I'm glad you liked them! What a fun swap!

Response: You're very welcome - what a fun swap!!

Response: yay! Glad you liked it. She's great... especially her first few albums.

Response: Hey, thanks but I think someone else is supposed to get this 5 and <3 - mine is the playlist from the USA

Response: Thank you! This has been such an amazing swap. I love hearing all different kinds of music and now I have so much to check out.

Response: Aw, thank you for the nice rating and comments. I haven't heard that version... off to google!

Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Budos is awesome :)

Response: Hey! I'm glad you got it and that you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed making it. I'm glad you liked the letter... I didn't have any Halloween goodies on hand so I was like, "Uh, letter?!"

Response: Aw, thank you so much for your message, GeoFaerie! I had so much fun writing it... a good trip down memory lane. And the lists shared have been AMAZING!

Response: Yes they are - we are in full fledged tourist season here and I am ready to just SCREAM.

Response: Your list was AWESOME and I loved that it was on your blog. That was a fun twist! We had a few in common and there are several of yours I've never heard of and I'm really excited to check out the trailers, and maybe the films, too! I'm glad you like rambly emails... you should see my October Playlist swap email... oy. Thanks so much for a fun, thoughtful list and a unique way of doing it and for giving me a <3.

Response: I keep meaning to respond to this! Thank you so much for the comment. I have been carrying around a letter to you in my bag that I need to just mail already. If I leave the house today I will pop it in the box. I'm excited for us to be pen pals!

Response: This is the best email I've gotten all day! Haha, I'm moving to Vermont in April so who knows, maybe you can be my upstate bestie (although my husband and I greatly agree over the boundaries of upstate but that's another story for another day). I'm glad you liked it. I figured the recipient would either LOVE or HATE it because yes, my handwriting is all over the place, as is my brain. Right now I'm a legal and contractual advocate for a large labor union (it's insanity) but I'm leaving on 3/31 to start writing full time... I freelance. Adding that to my to read list right now. I'm always looking for a pen pal who'll appreciate my ramblings so feel free to write me back :)

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dave! I was just looking at your post crossing profile and have a few I think you would like. Do you prefer them mailed in an envelope or written on and directly mailed to you?

Response: You're welcome! It was fun knowing it was going to a fellow geocacher!

Response: Oh, thank you for the sweet comments! I had a ton of fun writing it. And I'm thrilled it got to you despite the fact that it was open and missing a stamp - that's really weird! Thanks for leaving such sweet comments and happy holidays!!

Response: Thanks. I really enjoyed making that envelope. Thanks for being the keeper of my secret burden :)

Response: Oh, thank you! I had fun writing it and making the swap. It was my first!
