Response: I woke up this morning with that can on my mind...picturing it sliced in half with all of its contents strewn across the floor of a post-office somewhere between here and there. SOOOOO glad you got it and it was a lot of fun to create it for you. You are a fun swapper! PS: I like the can YOU made a lot better than the one I made for you!
Response: I am so glad that you liked everything, my marvelous friend! :)
Response: So happy it made to your continent in one piece! A million hearts and 2 kisses? Who could ask for anything more??
Response: GREAT Kim! So glad you liked everything! Thank you for the wonderful rating and heart!
Response: SWEET! Your snow just hit us a few hours ago. Lovely. Thanks a lot! grrrr...I am glad you liked the package...thanks for being so fun to create and stuff an envie for!
Response: I figured you would be a more appropriate owner of these watercolor markers than me...since you are a real artist and all! :) Thanks for inspiring us with your work on your website!
Response: Awwww....that's so sweet! I adore you as well! You don't have to send me anything. I'm sure you already sent something awesome to your partner for this swap! I'm so relieved you weren't offended by my little canvas. I made it years ago and I knew there'd be someone out there meant to have it someday. Thanks for your kind kind words and happy swapping to you, Maya!
Response: You are welcome, my dear!
Response: Thank YOU for the heart and for listening to me about my boring week! :)
Response: So glad you liked everything! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh boy, your comment is so nice! You make my heart smile. I'm very relieved that you liked everything. Mailart is my passion! I even send the rent to my landlord in decorated envelopes.
Response: Wow! What a sweet thing to say. You made my day! I'm glad it handled the trip well. I was also worried it wouldn't be what you had in mind when you created the swap. Thanks for coming up with this swap idea and introducing me to the moleskine envelope. Moleskines are always fun to create in. I have 2 journals going now-the sketchbook with the cardstock pages and the watercolor journal. So much fun!
Response: Now that's what I like to hear....it will be put to good use. That's music to my ears, my dear! Until we swap again! PS: Thanks for not pointing out that I gelli printed the freaking "1" backwards on the back of the envie! LOL
Response: I really had fun shopping for this swap. The erasers came in a little bottle with a cork screw top from a store called "Bull Moose" here in town. I think it's just a Maine store. I bet you could find them online too! Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Response: I am so happy that you liked it! Take care. Thank you for the heart!
Response: SWEET! So glad you liked everything. PS: Not sure if I included info about the precision needle tip applicator. What I've done with mine is put white craft acrylic and Golden ivory glaze 50:50 ratio and I store it upside down. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't clogged up. You will see, it has a really cool effect. I used it on one of the painted papers in your package to outline with. Just got a package of 3 and wanted to share the love. I will probably use my other one for black. Have fun! Thanks for hosting this swap!
Response: I am flattered, Jan! Coming from such a good artist as you are! Thanks and until we swap again, my friend!
Response: hahaha! You really made my day (it's been a typical hellish Friday) so many hugs to you for your comments!
Response: Phew! So happy it finally arrived to your side of the globe and that you like everything. I tend to over-do collage so illustrating can be challenging... until we swap again, my dear!
Response: Thanks, Tim! Nice to hear from an artist as orginal as you are! May all your holes arrive in patterned and predictable intervals (or not). ;)
Response: Glad you liked it!
Response: A Norwegian boyfriend? Could you be any more intriguing? I can't wait to swap with you again. I live a swashbuckling life of adventure vicariously through you... You are REALLY an Interesting Person. Meeting courageous souls like you is why I love this site.

Response: Speechless is good. Thank you for the nice words!

Response: Thanks for rating and wishing you many happy swaps in the future!

Response: Angie! I am honored by your lovely comments and 3 thank yous. I am so glad you liked it. I am obsessed with pin-up girls riding on fish now, thanks to that PC. Until we swap again, my dear!

Response: Well, it is always a pleasure sending to you too! I keep a stash of rusty odd tidbits handy for the occasion.
Response: SWEET! Thank you for the heart!
Response: That is so relieving. I'm glad you think it's excellent! The little flower poem pages and black and white WWII sailors in Hawaii pics are genuine vintage.
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: I couldn't imaging parting with my art supplies. I'd feel naked! LOL. In my profile I mention being an hour's drive from the ocean. Belfast would be the destination. I just get to South China and "bang a left" and I'm in Belfast before I know it! hehehe! Did a lot of fishing off the old footbridge there. Caught mostly crabs! No matter how quaint New England my state is, I think where you are now is MUCH prettier and WARMER. Enjoy your experience. Thanks for the lovely rating!

Response: You are very welcome!
Response: Phew! So glad you liked everything! It was fun putting it together. Thanks for not pointing out the fact my envie lacks a SNAIL (which would have been super cute). I'm not too bright, you know! LOL.
Response: Thanks for the blessings! I surely need them! Actually, I have no complaints. I am very blessed and I never stop being grateful.
Response: No worries! I was starting a new one for you. I am so glad you liked everything. Thanks.
Response: Glad i could make you laugh!
Response: That's wonderful! I am so happy to hear it. You are welcome, dear.
Response: Whew! So relieved you liked it....and happy you didn't give me a "3" for not including a snail! I got one from a partner covered in adorable snails and it occured to me that my envie should have included at least ONE snail. I was going for the postal theme and totally missed the point (as usual) LOL. Until we swap again, my dear!

Response: SwEEEEt! I love that you loved loved loved them!
Response: Wow! Restored faith is a GOOD thing! Your comments have made my day! Keep swapping. Don't lose hope. I seem to have better luck with GROUP swaps with like-minded partners.
Response: I am happy that you will find uses for some of the stuff I sent. I hope the envie size was appropriate. That's what I call a Business Size Envelope. I am probably way off! I LOVE swapping with you as well! Until the next time...
Response: *Blush* You are a sweetheart to say such nice things! I am relieved you liked everything!

Response: What wonderful compliments! You made my day! Thanks.
Response: Great! I am so glad you liked everything. It's been a while since I've done one of these stuffed envie swaps. Until we swap again! Peace.
Response: LOL! Reminds me of a story. My mom says to a male co-worker one day, "It was so busy yesterday. I worked my ASS off!" He replies in a low voice, matter of factly, "I've got news for you Laura, it's still there". Until we swap again, my Dear!
Response: Wonderful! So glad you liked her/him. It's my latest obsession. It gives me an excuse to go down the charm aisle at the craft store now which is a BLAST. Happy Swapping to you!

Response: Great idea! I've never altered a PC before...sounds like fun! Thanks for the heart, dear!
Response: Phew....finally you got it! Isn't it a shame they scribbled on those gorgeous butterfly stamps? Who DOES that, anyway? I am glad you like everything. I will be on the lookout for more turtles in case we swap again in the near future.
Response: I am so relieved that you liked everything and I appreciate your message as well. I tried to keep the colors muted. Your profile made it super easy to stuff a bag full of goodies. We have simlar tastes, so it was all on hand. The gelli print on ricepaper didn't come out quite as I expected. Acrylics can be so flat sometimes. I also feel bad about not taking the time to find more IMAGES for you to use in collage. So your gracious rating is a wonderful surprise! Until we swap again, dear!
Response: Wonderful! Because that is what I set out to do! Mission accomplished.
Response: Well, I had to send a little sumthin' sumthin' to my partner, right? I even decorate my envie to my landlord each month. It's an addiction at this point! I hope to get at least one back from your sun-shiny state! Thanks!
Response: So glad you loved the package! :)
Response: You are so welcome! I get the nip at our local health food store. It is 100% organic and at a fraction of the junk you buy in a department store.
Response: Thanks for your message. It meant the world to me. I am so glad we made a connection! Your decor sounds groooovy! Peace!
Response: Well, you are certainly welcome! This is supposed to be fun, right? I'm glad you liked it!
Response: I am glad you liked everything! I think the quotes are stickers, I can't remember exactly what I sent but check them out. It was fun putting it together!
Response: Thank you so much for posting that picture. It's so wierd to see something I made sitting on a table so far away! You are too sweet!
Response: I am so glad that you liked everything. Sending is the funnest part of swapbot for me! It's awesome when I make someone's day! Thank you for your kind comment!
Response: Phew! I am so relieved it arrived...I wish I could have met her. I attended her speech at UMA (University of Maine, Augusta). It's a pretty big auditorium and like I said, she had everyone reduced to tears. She was a Powerful woman. I've never seen anything like it! Happy swapping to you!
Response: Wow! This rating really made my day! I am so glad you liked everything and I am beyond honored to have a spot on your MANTEL as well as your heart! You were bubbly and beautiful BEFORE you got this swap....you didn't need ME to tell you that! :)

Response: AWWWW...thanks! You are making me blush!
Response: YAY! I am so honored you will be "binding" me! Thanks for your kind words.
Response: Great! I'm so glad you liked "shim". I've been desperately looking for those man shaped pieces in the stores and online. Let me know if you come across any? Thanks.
Response: That's what I was aiming for! Thanks for the heart!
Response: HaHa! You are too generous with your compliments! The more descript the profile, the easier it is to stuff an envie for someone! Your kind words made my day!
Response: LOL. This was definitely not an easy swap for me! Not my best "work" but challenging ourselves now and again is good for us! A zillion thank yous for your kind words!
Response: Thank you for rating!
Response: Mission ACCOMPLISHED! So glad you liked everything!
Response: Thank you for rating!
Response: Wonderful. So happy to hear you liked everything. Mission Accomlished!
Response: How nice of you to say that! Thanks!
Response: LOL. I am glad you liked everything and your MAN too! Happy swapping to you, dear!
Response: It was really easy preparing your envie! I had a lot of fun. You have a great profile and you are an amazing, fearless soul! Thanks for not having a profile that reads like, "I don't really have any hobbies and I don't collect anything."! Until we swap again, my friend!
Response: Well, that was EXACTLY the look I was going for. hehehe. Glad she-he made it to your wall! I hope the charms-beads on her head made the trip...
Response: We ALL shine on, baby!
Response: LOL....Thanks for your generous rating, your Excellence!

Response: It was MY pleasure, I assure you! Until we swap again Ms. Scrappermama!
Response: Great! I tried to capture your love for reading and painting. I am glad you like it!
Response: LOL. One heart is just fine with me...it is just a chunk of cardboard, after all! Until we swap again, dear!
Response: Great! So glad you liked everything! Happy swapping to you, dear.
Response: You are welcome! It was my pleasure, believe me!
Response: Ha! I am glad you enjoyed him. These kinds of swaps are great because they are little to no cost to make and keep crap out of our landfills, right?
Response: Aw....that's so sweet of you to say! Thanks for your kind words...
Response: Fabulous! Glad you enjoyed everything. Thanks for your message as well, dear.
Response: You are very welcome, dear. Until we swap again....
Response: Those new stickers are going to drive me to drink, I swear. Some clerks are more sympathetic than others. There is one girl that takes great pleasure in slapping them on the most interesting part of the envie-without fail-every single time! Thanks for your kind words. So glad you liked everything. Happy Birthday, BTW.
Response: No skill here. Just mad scissor skills! Thanks for your kind words though.
Response: What very nice things to say! You are welcome!
Response: Thank you so much for your kind words! I feel encouraged.
Response: Oh GOOD! I was trying to keep it to blues, grays, you know, like the ocean....the colors that you like. I hope you will color the pages I sent too! They'd make cool envies for mail art.
Response: Your words are so kind! You made my day. By the way, the big sticker the post office stuck on the envie comes off pretty easily. It doesnt even bother them to cover up our mail art. Just pull it off. I am so sorry to hear about losing your kitty. I have cats. Love them to pieces.
Response: You are the first person I've sent an altered wooden cut out to! I am so grateful you liked it. That opens a whole new can of possibilities up for me in the wood craft aisles! When it comes to mixed media collage, the world is our spitoon, isn't it?
Response: Great! It wasn't that much. Finding pink Disney girly stuff gave me an excuse to go shopping. It was fun to go looking for items I thought you'd like. Happy crafting with her scrapbook. She is lucky to have such a committed step-mom!
Response: Oh GOOD! I hope you will find a place for the dogs in some of your collages! Have a wonderful evening. XOXO right back at ya!
Response: Oh Good! I am so glad that you liked everything! I agree...the swap's purpose is to make someone's day. I am very relieved I accomplished the mission. Hope your kitties don't get too loopy!! What a generous person you are to rescue so many animals!
Response: Great! I'm glad you liked it. Hope you weren't offended by the anatomically correct stick figure! HeHe. Unfortunately that's the extent of my drawing skills.
Response: Thanks for your kind words! Glad you liked everything.
Response: You are welcome!! Please disregard the message I just sent to you. I didn't see this rating...I am not the brightest bulb in the batch, Johanna! I am so happy you got it!
Response: Oh good! I am happy you got both at the same time...your Flicker site has really inspired me. I've been making sacred hearts in my art journal all weekend. Your work is the kind of work I envision making in my head, but it never comes out the way I want it to. You were my muse this weekend, luv!
Response: I have a few vintage poetry books about flowers that I pluck pages from for people who indicate they may like that sort of thing in their profile. I always feel guilty when I do it but they will be put to good use to share with the universe. I do not have a flicker account or facebook...literally no social media connection at all. My art journal and altered books look kind of like my mailart. Your compliments mean so much to me. I am very relieved that you liked everything....thanks for your kind words!
Response: Nice! Thanks for being so easy to create for! I had fun with it. I do use a varnish if I used a lot of matte medium on the images. I also use the glossy collagepauge. The gel mediums are great because they aren't as heavy but SO expensive...especially at the rate I use it! I wouldn't be able to afford postage for swaps....geesh.
Response: Thanks so much for your words of kindness! I am glad you liked everything.
Response: Hehehe. I guess every excuse to dump someone is lame except for the truth...alone time is the BEST time.
Response: Awww.....shucks. You are making me blush! Thanks for appreciating everything and your Inspiring words!
Response: I am so happy that you liked it! I feel a little guilty for cutting up my new mag and for using another artist's work. I am starting to explore the possibility of drawing ... maybe. I couldnt resist, though. They were birds, they were blue. Thanks for your generous heart in spite of it all!
Response: *blush* What sweet sweet things to say! Of course I don't mind one bit. Your rating made my day, dear!
Response: Aw...you made my day with your lovely compliments. It was my pleasure making your mailart and gathering the items to send. Believe me! Until we swap again.....
Response: I am relieved that you liked everything. Thank YOU for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! Laughing and smiling is a GOOD thing!
Response: Thanks for the heart....this was a fun swap, wasn't it?
Response: Great! I am so glad that you liked it! The cat's crown is the paper teabag thingy (attached to the string to dunk the bag with). It makes me feel good to send mailart to peeps that truly appreciate it. Peace!
Response: You are welcome. It was my pleasure, really! Mail art is what I do in my spare time. It's a passion!
Response: I am so happy that you liked everything and honored to have a place in your smashbook!
Response: Wow....what a great compliment to receive! You are too kind, luv!
Response: Thank YOU for being so easy to please. It was fun making your envie and selecting the items. Thanks for the heart, dear! Happy swapping to you.
Response: I am so happy that you liked everything...I was afraid it would all be a tad "anti-climatic". I am glad I was wrong! hehehe. Sorry if you didn't like the whoopee. I envisioned you blowing it up and placing it in hubby's recliner.
Response: Thank you for the heart and your kind words. Sending stuff people will like is 99% of the fun of swapping for me!
Response: Bonjour and Thank YOU for hosting an amazing and challenging swap. I had a blast making all those envies!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I am happy if you are happy!
Response: I am so glad that you liked it! I am making mail art virtually every spare minute I have. It's nice to send it to someone who enjoys it!
Response: YAY! I am so glad I could make your day! Thanks for your kind words!
Response: You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!
Response: I am so glad I could make you happy Coleen. I wish I could have sent more. I can't even image not having a craft store around, or even a walmart to buy modgepodge at. Your stuff is gorgeous in spite of it all. I was looking at your site. I read your stencil making entry. Do you guys have contac paper in your country? Paper that's sticky on one side? I use clear and put my paper stencil between 2 pieces like a sandwich and then trim. Another option would be covering it with clear packing tape then trimming around it. It makes the paper waterproof.
Response: Shannon, I am so glad you liked everything. I struggled so much with balancing that piece and to me, the colors were too dark. I am surprised by your generous rating and compliments! No worries! You are a busy lady. The best things come to those who wait. Yours will be AMAZING...I am sure of it.
Response: Aww....sweet! You just reminded me-I forgot to give my kittes their fix today. What a terrible Quin the Eskimo I am! Until we swap again, my friend!
Response: I am happy that you liked everything. Don't wait to win the lottery...just do it, girl! If the ocean is your number one happy place, why live a whole lifetime away from it?
Response: Great! I'm so relieved that you liked everything. I wanted to send an extra thanks your way for accepting me in your group on blind faith that I was the "Real McCoy"...:) You make beautiful things as well!
Response: I am glad you liked it! Have a wonderful December, dear.
Response: Awww...what sweet things to say. You really made my day. Thank you!
Response: Considering this compliment comes from such a dynamic, unique gal, I am honored that my PC will be one of your dazzling treasures! PS: Your "epiphany" is freaking hilarious!
Response: Thanks for all of your warm compliments! You made my day!
Response: Thanks, Tammy. Let me know if you don't receive your PC and I will gladly make you another one!

Response: Thanks for your generous rating! Have a great day, Tina!
Response: I am glad you liked everything! I hope your kitties enjoyed thier organic treat, too. Just google mixed media art collage. I have learned so much from YouTube watching other people do what they do! Thanks for your kind words and heart and 100 stars!
Response: Thanks! And thanks for the heart and rating promptly!
Response: Great! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you so much for your detailed compliments! You made my day!
Response: Thanks for rating! :)
Response: Nice! I am so glad you liked it and I am happy I made your day! Peace!
Response: Ahhh...yes, Ellie. Perfection would be number 5 with a cup of coffee on a sunny, crisp, autumn day. That would be just OVER THE TOP! Thanks for rating so promptly!
Response: Awww...you are making me blush! I am relieved that you like it. Especially since you are the host and you have a lot of experience with zines....Until we swap again....
Response: Wow. Thanks for your generous rating! I thought the colors came out better than I expected them to. I used zerox machine at Staples. The ink doesn't smear with modgepodge either. I am excited about a new resource to use.
Response: Oh, that is great! I'm glad I messaged you! Thanks for the heart and your kind words. You made my day!
Response: You are welcome and thank YOU for the heart!
Response: I am so glad you liked it! Thanks for rating me and for the heart!

Response: I knew you'd like the Eifel Tower item. What a sweet thing to say. Thank you so much!
Response: REALLY? What a sweet thing to say! Thanks a lot! Don't tell anyone my secret, okay? *wink*
Response: Great! I am relieved that you liked everything and happy swapping to you, ISIS (I don't know who that IRIS person is but we won't mention her name again, k??)!

Response: Great! I am so relieved you liked everything. Until we swap again.....
Response: You are welcome! Thank YOU for the heart!
Response: Oh that is so great that you were pleased with my journal! I am relieved. I've never done a swap like this before and I was flustered to be assigned to HOST no less! Talk about pressure! Your compliments have really made my day...Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
Response: I am glad you liked everything and that you aren't easily offended. hehehe! I keep my received mail art in a ringed binder I made with cardstock covered with collage and sewn swirls. At the end of the week, I punch holes in what I've recieved and add it to the binder. The next time I see Vern delivering my mail, I am going to offer it to him to take home and show his wife. He is always describing the messages to him on the envies....maybe he will want to show it all to her! Peace to you and your feline companions!
Response: Wow! Your kind words have really made my day! I am honored that you think so highly of what I sent! I wanted to make yours extra special in gratitude for you accepting me in your FAF swap-even though I don't have a digital camera. You are a sweetheart!
Response: Great! I am so glad you liked it. I hope you can use some of the stuff for your dotees. Was the art self-explanatory? It's kind of my answer to the overused term "I have to find myself". The only place I have been in your town is the prison (as a visitor, of course). Maybe you could leave it there? LOL.
Response: Wow, what kind things to say. I am so happy that I made your day...mission accomplished! Until we swap again!
Response: I am so happy that you enjoyed the stuff! I am not sure which paper you are asking about though...I have a horrible memory. You have been all over! Reminds me of the U2 song-Beautiful Day..."You've been all over and it's been all over you". Let me know which papers you mean in a PM and maybe I can help!
Response: I am so happy it made to you safely. Have a wonderful day!
Response: My spiritual connections have been impossible to miss. I'm one of those skeptics aka slow learners. These were profound moments, for sure. Thanks for letting me share them with you!
Response: Great Barbara! I'm glad it made it to you in one piece. Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you could come "home" this summer! The weather has been amazing. The best I can remember. Until we swap again, my friend!
Response: Wow! I am flattered! An artist I am not, though. It's just a hobby of mine. More like an addiction. My hands are always covered in paint and glue. Your kind words have made my day!
Response: I am glad you liked it, Nana! The postcard is from a set made by Cavallini. They are pretty reasonably priced on Amazon. I have the other tiger on display on my desk. It's the prettiest one in the set. Happy swapping to you!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: I made it as small as I possibly could! Thanks for all of your kind words. They made my day!

Response: Awesome! I am so glad you liked everything! It was my pleasure to create it for you! Until we swap again...

Response: Your kind words have made MY day! Yes. I use modge podge or collagepauge or alene's glue, glue sticks or gel medium. Whatever I have on hand. Modge podge dries clear. The sky is the limit!
Response: Awww! What a sweet thing to say. I am so flattered. I am glad you liked everything...mission accomplished!
Response: Oh COOL! Did you end up at Governer's Restaurant or Friendly's or did you get off at the wrong exit and end up by Ruby's with Taco Bell and BK? I like OOB ok but I would pick Acadia hands-down everytime.
Response: My ghetto AC is still kickin'! Send it good positive vibes for me? I only paid 30 dollars for it from an old tenant. No biggie. The weather has been tolerable actually for about 6 days....YAY!
Response: Thanks for the heart, Jovial Jan! There are not many adjectives that begin with "J". Jovial, Joyous, Jumping, Just. How about judicious? Is that a word? Have a great weekend!
Response: Thanks for the heart, Bubbly Barb! Until we swap again, my dear!
Response: Beyond words? THANKS! That's a really nice thing to say!
Response: I lived in Texas once. I saw my first deer feeder and exclaimed "OH MY, those are LEGAL?" In Maine, they are a big no-no. But the deer down there were more plentiful and about half the size of ours. It was cool to see them so frequently out in the open there.Here they are a little more "skitterish" like the rest of us humans, I suppose. The cold weather makes us move real quick from point A to point B.
Response: LOL. I KNEW you were going to ask that! I'm sorry, but I am going to have to leave that to your imagination! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am so happy you can appeciate its weirdness! Until we swap again...
Response: Cool as a moose up here in Maine today (thank goodness)! Thanks for the heart!
Response: She is definitely a "hot ticket"! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Great! I am so glad that you liked everything!
Response: You are welcome and thank YOU for hosting my very favorite swaps!
Response: YAY! I am so glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun creating this package for you! I don't know about healthy....but it sure is delicioso.
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Awww. That's sweet! I am glad you liked her!
Response: Hello Florence!
I am glad you liked everything. The oui piece was for MSDFFSC-International. Thanks for hosting such fun swaps. I look forward to them.
Response: Yay! I hope the dog looks like yours. You "Diamond Heads" what am I gonna do with you?
Response: Great! I am glad you liked everything and I can't wait!
Response: Sweet! Thanks for the heart and your blessings! Peace!
Response: That means a lot to me. Thanks for your kind words. They made MY day!
Response: Thanks for hosting! And for the heart! Hope to swap with you again real soon!
Response: Thanks, Diane! I am glad you liked it. Hope to swap with you again real soon!
Response: Aw...what kind things to say! Like I said, I'm not the brightest bulb in the batch. I inked up the front of that stamp like a nincumpoop but I knew someone would still enjoy it down the road. I am so glad you will use it!
Response: Mission accomplished! Thanks for the heart! I think JoAnne's has just put out thier sunflowers for late summer. I think I will be more prepared next time...
Response: That was a fun swap, huh? Thanks for your generous heart!
Response: Hehehe...thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome. I enjoyed sending it to you! Here's to many more happy swaps in the future!
Response: Thank YOU for the heart, Sue!
Response: Awesome! I am so glad you liked everything. The magnet is pretty cute...I'm very relieved you didn't take offense!
Response: Just watched "The Color Purple" a couple of days ago. That's one of my all time favs. Book and movie. Alice Walker's writing is amazing.
Response: Welcome! Thanks for the rating! Peace!
Response: Thanks for your kind words. You aren't someone I don't know. You are my swap partner! If some of the questions are too bizarre, don't feel obligated to answer. I just didn't want to bore you to tears...
Response: I am glad you liked it! Did it have enough stamps on it? Mom says she thinks she did it right. Mount it. Hahahaha! too cute.
Response: You are welcome. I am trying to think of some random word to put on my next piece...How about "Tenacity" or "Swashbuckling". That's one of my favorite words...so why not?
Response: I am so glad you liked it!
Response: I am so glad you liked it. I rushed to get it out to you...the first one if you get it you can't miss. It's heart shaped. Black panther with words "Power to the People". Maniquin with brown, orange-yellow printed hippy smock on the right. I honestly can't remember what was on the back. It's addressed "To the Groovy______". This is at LEAST the third piece of mail lost from me since I joined last Fall. Where on earth do they go?
Response: Oh, you have NO idea! Between the negativity I battle, general malaise and fatigue, I am busy trying to convince my 17 year-old that he most certainly is NOT the alpha in this house. It's crayyyyyyyyzeeee.
Response: Thanks Shannon! I am honored by your compliments...honestly.
Response: "celebrate good times c'mon!" are you kidding? LOVE that song! ...."we're gonna have a party tonight. let's celebrate. it's alright".
Response: I am so happy that you liked it! You made MY day!
Response: Awww..shucks! Such kind kind words! What a nice person! Thanks!
Response: SEE? The grass IS always greener on the other side. Trust me...you'd be bored to TEARS!
Response: Oh my goodness! What nice nice things to say! Thank you SO much!
Response: Wonderful! Maybe they are a little different from the shells in your land. Maybe not! Thanks for your kind compliments!
Response: Thanks for your kind words, your 5, and your heart, my dear!!!
Response: Great Jennifer! I am so glad you liked it! Happy Swapping.
Response: You are welcome! The number 9 guy is actually signing the number 9. I'm glad you liked everything. Hope you had a wonderful weekend in the mountains and that your emotional gas tank is on "full". Until we swap again....
Response: You are welcome! I am glad you liked everything. Have a great evening!
Response: Oh that is wonderful! I am so glad you liked the package. I am honored to be invited to your group, as well. Enjoy the Reeses. I love them too!
Response: You are welcome! I call it Eating Out of a Box. Which sux but a working mom does what she has to do! I hope your envelope arrives soon. Hopefully it didn't get confiscated by customs. It has a certain kind of edible something in it-I won't say anymore!
Response: Thank you for the heart, Donna! And your patience. You have been a wonderful swap partner!
Peace.
Response: Oh Good! I am so glad you liked it. Thanks for forgiving the orange-ish wings!!
Response: Oh my God, Brenda! I am in tears. I don't deserve all that space on your blog. I just use other people's images. I feel like a fraud. YOU are an amazing artist. I am a wanna-be! For real. Your stuff is amazing!
Response: You are welcome! Thank you for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! I thought it was a strange postcard - appropriate for a strange swap!
Response: Ahhh....nothing beats a fresh cup of Joe in the morning! My favorite is a Great One with 3 creams and 2 extra large turbo shots from Dunkin Donuts. It costs 4.14. That's how I treat myself. Otherwise it is 8 o'clock whole bean ground (pulverized) into a fine powder for the turbo effect. If I were a betting woman, I'd say you are a morning person??
Response: Oh GOOD! I am so glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for rating me! Take care!
Response: ROFLMFAO. I would've taken you up on your offer had I not received that exquisite package from Amazon. I told you, girlfriend...the gloves are off! Sigh of relief you didn't give me a 1 like you threatened to. You are a bully!! Hugs not drugs Tears for Fears. And all that good stuff! Peace out!
Response: Great! I'm glad you will put them to use. Thanks!
Response: You are quite welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Awww...you are so sweet to say all that nice stuff! The pictures are from an album my grandfather filled while stationed at pearl harbor in world war 2. I don't know any of those handsome buggers so I might as well pass them along into the universe! Horray for ME to wake up to such kind words!
Response: That's sweet! Thanks for your kind words!
Response: That's the nicest thing anyone has said about me all day. Thanks!!!
Response: You are very welcome~glad you like it!
Response: HaHa! Thanks for your kind words!
Response: Start with a messy background. Thanks for your kind words. I am not an artist, though. What's wrong with interesting paper folded into an envelope? You know those vintage steamer chests with stickers and stamps from tons of destinations all over the world? That's what I like my envelopes to look like, except with bits and pieces of ephemera they've collected at random fantasies or interesting thoughts along the way in my MIND. That's the best I can describe it. I use a ton of layers, just like all of the layers our subconscience must have. We are all doing what we love on this site. I keep everyone's mail art close to my heart because it holds another's passion inside.
Response: You are very welcome~ I'm glad you were able to tell it is a sunflower! I wasn't sure it looked like one, but I was surely going for the sunflower look! Thanks!
Response: Wow! What a sweet thing to say!
Response: I'm very glad you liked it! Thanks for making my first private swap so much fun! You are a peach to swap with, my friend!
Response: Nnnnnope! Gotcha! I am very good at picking up on others' themes, on a regular basis. Thanks for guessing!
Response: Of course I will! How could I pass up the opportunity to fill each of my days with much flattery? Your comment was soooooo needed today. I am in tears. Thanks Julie. PS: I don't see in my comments history where you've rated me for anything other than this...do you know the name of the swap the first envie was for? Just curious. I enjoyed reading your blog about getting stuck in quicksand...nevermind me selling my stuff-you should follow your own advice! You articulate quite well!
Response: Thanks for your kind words, Anita! God Bless!
Response: nnnnnope...but my "step-dad" was a little (way) coo-coo!
Response: Thanks for your kind words!
Response: Nope! Sorry! I was in the same room with Stephen King, though. :) What a fun swap!
Response: You are welcome!
Response: Thanks for your wonderful comment! I used Krylon Short-Cuts spray paint. I find it is very ecnomical and permanent when adding layers on top! The paper is from India. They are selling big bags of it at my local Joanne's right now. Happy swapping to you!
Response: Thanks for your kind words! I haven't had any wax out for a while. I wonder if you are referring to the crackle paint? I also add a layer of polyurethane to the top of most of my envies. The ozone must be cringing just from my last 2 responses...sorry Mother Earth!
Response: You are welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Response: Glad you liked it! Your profile mentions artistic interpretations of Alice In Wonderland, so I figured you'd enjoy it. Happy swapping!
Response: OMG what a great idea! Please do! Or send it to another art journaler! I would love to see it make its rounds in the Universe!
Response: You are welcome!
Response: Yay! I'm so glad I made your mailbox happy today! Peace!
Response: Thank YOU for the heart! So glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for your kind words, Lyla from Led Zeppelin land!
Response: Thanks for your kind words. I am so glad I could please you!
Response: I am so glad you liked it! I'm not used to making something so small. I agree with your message, square is good. I like sharp edges and symmetry.
Response: Thanks for your kind words!
Response: I am glad you liked it and didn't find it too blasphemous! Happy swapping to you!
Response: Thanks! Yes, Vern is the best mailman ever.
Response: Great! I am so glad you liked it. I had another one made that had full on penetration, but I decided to do a do-over in case a postal worker along the way decided they wanted to play God. Jimi was decoupaged. All of the images come from a coffee table book about vintage concert posters. You were very fun to create for and I am honored to make it to your art journal, dear!
Response: Shucks! I really thought my psyche was connecting with yours! The tall and lanky was honestly the first thing that jumped out at me! It was a fun swap!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for your kind words!
Glad you liked it.
Response: Great! I am so glad you liked everything! Thanks for the heart!
Response: OMG. There is no WAY I deserved a heart for this swap. All I saw was "busy" and I signed up. I was in over my head. An illustrator I am NOT. You are just too generous, dear!
Response: Thank YOU for your kind words! Those were made by a character from Canada named "Mr. Wacky". You can find his stuff on Flicker. I love him to pieces.
Response: Awesome~I am glad you liked it!
Response: I'm so glad I could make you happy! That's the best part of this site...
Response: I'm glad you liked it! The group always has great swaps that are right up my alley. The artists are great so I'm honored to be part of it. *addendum* I was just looking at your photos on Flicker. OMG. you are an amazing artist! If i were a fiber artist, my stuff would look just like yours...but I'm not. Hence my attempts at fiber art have been terrible. What are the tactics to dissuade a blue heron from the goldfish? Just curious.
Response: Glad you liked it. Happy journalling! Thanks for "friending" me too!
Response: Good good! Pass it on after you are done with it!
Response: You are welcome! Sorry I didn't have any bigger ones or more of a variety. I tend to gravitate to Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsy stamps.
Response: Thanks so much, Linda! It's great that you volunteer and help others to craft. What an angel!
Response: Thanks for all of your kind words and for hosting such a unique swap! Regarding the card, look up "PrairieKitten" on this site. All of the info is on her profile. And then you decide! I hope she doesn't mind...I'm 99.9% sure she wouldn't. Have an abundantly creative day!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for your nice compliments!
Response: Oh no! I just looked at your profile again and you say orange is your LEAST favorite color. I am such a ditz sometimes! Thanks for your kind words in spite of it all!
Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for your kind words! They made my day!
Response: Aw...that is so sweet, Jay! Now I feel bad about getting so mad at customs! YOU ARE WORTH EVERY CENT OF IT! Please don't feel bad. I am so glad I could make you happy! Wondering where the original Snoopy mailer is will nag at me forever. Maybe it fell into the ocean on its trip to Asia? Your kind words have made my day, Jay!
Response: I am glad you liked it! It's always a gamble to send something like that. Like I said, if you get tired of it, drop it in a Goodwill box or leave it in a public restroom (on the wall maybe?). You are a great artist and your compliments mean so much to me!
Response: No big deal! It was my pleasure! Did she get her own mail with the stickers for her ATCs? I sent that separately a few days before sending your envie...
Response: Thanks! I am glad you liked it!
Response: Coming from an artist of your caliber, I am honored by your compliments! Thanks, Tina.
Response: You are welcome! Peace!
Response: I am glad you like it! I believe I sent you the anatomic art dude with the wings? If so, no, just a plain old black and white photocopy. The swirls on the bottom were stamped. The wings are from this awesome giftwrap my ex gave me that he got for donating to the VA or American Legion...something like that. I have been frantically searching for more. I LOVE monarch b.flies and nothing is better than giftwrap for collaging (except tissue paper). Anyhow-Thanks for your generous rating!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Great! I'm glad you liked it. Is your mom a mail artist too? I tend to go big with my mail art. Bigger doesn't always mean better. If you keep signing up for mail art swaps, you will be amazed by sometimes just a postcard! There are some great collage artists on this site! Is the pen usable? In my attempt to use it, I may have destroyed its nib or nub or whatever the picky diamond shaped doo-hicky thing is at the end of it is called.
Response: That's great! I'm glad you liked him and that he arrived intact! By the time the clerk at the post office got done with the 2 postage stickers and the huge customs sheet, most of him was covered up. Did the customs sheet peel off easily? Just curious.
Response: Your kind words mean a lot to me! Thank you SO much!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for your wonderful compliments. Glad you were charmed by the mail art!
Response: Great compliments! Thanks for your kind words!
Response: I am glad you liked it,
Guiness! Your kind words have made MY day!
Response: Thanks! And thank you for the private message. I am glad you liked the poem. Wish I could write, but I cannot!
Response: What a nice thing to say! Thanks a lot!
Response: Oh NO! Were the 2 buttons still intact? I was wondering what the delay was...I sent it so long ago. It probably got kicked around and rerouted to Timbucktoo! I am so happy you liked everything. Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!
Response: *Sigh of relief* I am so glad you liked them. Thank you so much!
Response: Wonderful! I am so happy you liked the envie. Thanks so much for your compliments! I know what you mean...i got a collaged envelope 2 days ago that I didn't want to open in fear of destroying any part of it. Isn't mailart a blast?
Response: Your compliments made MY day! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for your kind words!
Response: What nice things to say! I am glad you liked everything! Glad you didn't find anything offensive! I bet we will be swapping together again soon!
Response: I am glad you liked it! When you get tired of the book, pass it on or leave it on a park bench. Drop it in a Salvation Army box. It is something to pass on to the Universe! Thank You SO much for your kind compliments! You made my day.
Response: For Real? What a wonderful compliment! OMG. Thank you!
Response: That is GREAT! I am so glad you liked the letter. I tend to ramble a bit... Happy Swapping!
Response: SMELLS artsy fartsy? Hmmm...is that good or bad?? :) Just as long as it didn't arrive smelling just "fartsy" I guess it's okay! Thanks for the heart, Jan!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: That is great! I was wondering if it would ever arrive way up yonder....
Response: Thanks so much for your compliments!
Response: I am so happy you liked your page. I was hopingI didn't over do it with the dogs. Happy swapping!
Response: I was so afraid you wouldn't like the painting! PHEW. Big sigh of relief.... I will keep the private swap idea in mind. Right now I am considering the March scavenger hunt journal which will be a big committment.
Response: Your compliments really made my day. Thanks!
Response: Glad you enjoyed it. Isn't it awesome getting creative mail? Maybe it brightens the mailman's day too.
Response: Well, thank you! I am still not convinced they are legitimate ATCs, but if you say so....:)
Response: I just saw your comment on the swap's message board. I am so glad you liked your postcard! I love getting unusual things in the mail, too! Hope to swap with you again! Peace.
Response: I am so relieved you liked your package! I was worried you wouldn't. The little girl was cut out of a real vintage greeting card. I used glitter glue. I get the cheap stuff for a buck in baskets at walmart. I am thrifty like you! :)
