Comment: Thank you so much for the cool and creative ink box card! I love how you used the stamps, and the spirograph circles in the background is so awesome! I would have never thought to do that. You are very creative. Thank you for the disturbing PC - it's so cool!!! Also a huge thank you for all the used postage stamps. I love them!! So many awesome ones that I haven't seen before. Thank you for such a thoughtful swap. :-)

Comment: Lovely to see my inkboxcard in this swap looks completely different. Your barcodes are that small, you can put a lot of them on 1 card. Thanks you so much for the Berlin items. I visited the city 8 years ago for the last time and met the Berliner Mauerweg. I did not have enough time then and only my 2 feet and public transport. Our daughter has plans to move over to Berlin because of her job, so maybe we can visit her and bike a part of the route.
Response: My pleasure, thank you! So you've already a long list for several visits. :)

Comment: Thanks for this beautiful piece, the extra envie and the beautiful collaged envelope. It has been a cool summer here. We rarely got above 50 degrees. I have tons of potatoes to dig up soon. I think people who are designing packaging are recognizing that crafters are reusing them and making them more user friendly to recycle into crafts. Yay! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: You're welcome, thank you! And it can be a kind of advertisement too, when people craft with packaging and such.

I never tire of postage people, and your duck-headed woman quacked me up! (sorry, I couldn't resist). Great selection of papers you used. I agree with you that paper is such a WONDERFUL material. I brought a big box full of assorted papers home from my trip. Can't wait to start using them.
Response: I'm super happy that now in fact both, the original and the resend, arrived! I should start to browse through my stamp stash and look for some more animal head stamps. The duck person was so fun to make!

It’s always nice to receive your creativity in my mailbox Monique. I sometimes wonder where you get the ideas. Love it! And it looks like you had a great hiking trip, better luck with the weather next time. Thanks again for the great card!
Response: Thank you! I guess when the parrots manage to take a trip under water, they also are fine with their hotel. At least it got some windows. :) Sometimes I hate my ideas when it comes to the point of glueing everything down (when there's a lot over-under-layering). Putting small glued paper bits (which tend to roll up) into slits makes me mad. :)

Comment: I LOVE your black out poetry inkbox!! <3 Thanks so much for the German words for me to learn (I can totally understand how the word ¨stamp¨ would be confusing. I get sad when I misunderstand it to be rubber stamping and it turns out to be postage stamps. haha) Thanks also for the extra goodies! <3 I hope the rest of your summer is entspannend. ;)
Response: You're welcome, thank you! I'm always happy when I can find some words for the blackout poetry which make some kind of sense (as a non native speaker). :)

It's SO cool. I have tons of plants but haven't ever had one like this. It's almost 2 years old so I must be doing ok. I don't really do anything but water it!!
Response: My pleasure, thank you! I think my bonsai suffered from my tries of cutting it. So I better read the book instead of cutting it up for collaging material. :)

I only found one, from kolaj magazine... but the first prompt seemed extra challenging! http://kolajmagazine.com/content/content/collage-events/februllage-2020/

Comment: Hooray! Your re-send for this swap arrived and I LOVE it! I recently got some paper to do cyanotypes myself, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Yours is an inspiration. There is a marvelous book titled Radioactive by Lauren Redniss, in which she uses many cyanotypes to illustrate her story of Marie & Pierre Curie. I highly recommend it. Thanks so much for your wonderful card & I’m so sorry the first one went astray.
Response: Ah, superb! Good luck in making your own cyanotypes, it's real fun! I've looked up the book, you even can see the imprint of the foil she used to print her drawings on! It's a great idea to choose this way of illustration for a book about scientists.

And I saw about all this water in Germany, verrrrry unpleasant indeed! Hope it all has dried up by now ... :-) Well, see you in an other swap! :-D
Response: You're very welcome! And I'm not tired in sending you something. :) On the stamp it's an ibex, AFAIK. Till the next swap!

Comment: What a beautiful card. I am so happy always when I get to be your receiver!! Great idea to use that tea box and the birds and the sewn touches ♥♥.Did you sew those first before glue them onto the background? I love it!! And yes, i hate my mail, it took only 7 days for this to arrive!!!!
Response: My pleasure! In this case first I glued the heard a bit to hold it in place and than sew it onto the background. But it is quite an idea to embroider that little bit first to give them a fake sewn look and then glue them onto the background. Would make things sometimes easier. :)

Thank you so much for your beautiful letter! ❤️ I received it yesterday and after admiring that awesome envie you made I decided to wait opening it till I had sent yours off (almost done!). But... today, I couldn't wait! ;) You put so much love and energy into til beautiful pocket letter. And you really kept it all in green. There's so many details to look at and I am in love with the banner you made. I am totally stealing that idea! Even the backside is just so pretty! ❤️❤️❤️ And delicious chocolate, we don't have that flavor in Denmark. ❤️ Thank you! Thank you! Hope to do another swap with you in the new year!
Response: Thank you so much for the kind rating! I'm glad that the bulky envie made it fine to you. It was so much fun to find all those green things. And just yesterday I've already restocked my green washi :P I'm here for new swaps.

And the 3LP was very thoughtful and artistic - it's one of the best ones that I've received. And thanks for reading my profile - I really liked the extra goodies :-) BTW, I'm also currently thinking "don't buy" for the die cutting machine. I have more ideas than time and don't want it to sit collecting dust. I like your idea of starting with some single pattern punches.

You deserve many more hearts <3 I love everything you picked, the whimsical tags, lovely reminder of a quote on the lighthouse bookmark, fragrant teas, beautiful washi samples (I've had my eye on that collage/newsprint pattern for awhile, as well as the sprinkles :), postcards, and adorable stickers. I also agree that it's refreshing that White Collar features crimes/mysteries that don't primarily revolve around murder or assault, with a great rapport between the leads and among the main cast members, and it's continuously amazing that Mr. Bomer looks like a Disney prince (as Hilarie Burton, who played Sara Ellis, said in an interview ^_^) I hope our paths cross again soon, and I also hope to pass on your kindness in my future swaps! xx

You did such a wonderful job creating an image for your quote, I really very nearly had the gist of the meaning even before I opened the letter. This was a really good illustration of your chosen quote, which has no known author. I sure enjoyed reading your letter too. My youngest daughter (26) had brought me the mail and she was curious about the envelope so I read her the letter out loud. We both were thinking how awful was the teacher you described! She should have been suspended from teaching anymore and maybe even put in a cell for a while for doing what she did to the girl's hair. If you had such an awful time in the basic chemistry class then I'm very glad for you that the advanced one didn't actually occur for that semester. I was a real academic "Nerd" in High School and took Chemistry I and Chemistry II, Biology I and Biology II, Physics I and Physics II, and advanced math classes as well. That was all SO long ago! (graduated in 1968) . . . looked up the other quote and it wasn't from Goethe but was from Erich Kästner zitat - "even if there are stones in your way, you can build something beautiful." But I thought it was funny about building a house from the hard as stone rolls! And oh yes, thanks for the little cute paper clip too. I love it <3
Response: Thank you for your lovely rating! So glad that it worked out as I intended to. :) With that Goethe/Kästner quote bothered me! Ha. On the backery bag Goethe was printed as the author. When I searched for a proper translation into English it was also always Goethe. Now I know it's was more likely Kästner. Or maybe both said similar things. Both never told me the quote in person, so I can't prove. :P

Thank you for the fun goodies (The teapot tag is so pretty!). I'm excited to try the teas, you sent a great assortment! Oh, and it's very cool that you've been to the Azores!

Comment: I love this PC!!! I love the background papers, the leaves that you used as trees for your "wood", and all the little extras you added to the theme! We have poplars, but I have not seen these velvety leaves! This card first went to Cold Bay, Alaska, before it came back to me! That is about 2,000 miles out of its way! I know that it spread more joy on its journey! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: Lovely, thank you! The front of the leaves of this poplars are green and on the back white. So the tree changes it's look from green to white every time the wind goes through it. Very nice to watch. Oh, a little detour or better a round trip. :)

I had the Apple & Elder tea first to go with a slice of Pumpkin swirl cake. Delish!! ~ Cari
Response: Thank you! Also thank you for letting me know that my display isn't that shipping secure I thought it is. :) This is really a help. I will think of refinement without using tape (which was my goal). Maybe I will think it over with a cup of tea. :)
