Sure wished I lived closed so that maybe we could do some beading together. I would love to learn how to embroider with beads. I love clothes that are beefed up with beads, want to make them, but just don't know how to start! You are a wealth of knowledge and I am off to take a peek at all the web site you put in your letter to me. Thank you for being a friend!

Comment: Thank you so much for the goodies:)

Comment: Thanks so much for doing this swap with me

Comment: Thank you so much, Karen! The earrings are just lovely and will go so nicely with my hair (long and reddish/orange). I like it that they're big and showy yet still light and don't stretch my ears. I'll wear them to school tomorrow! Thanks for the teas and sweets too. I'm really going to need the teas now that it's cold and dark outside. I'm super happy about the Tootsie Roll sweets, they're something I've heard about in American movies and tv and internet but I've never tried them, so I'm really glad I get a chance now. Thanks for this lovely swap in general, too!

Comment: Howdy, You did so much work on this bracelet & I love all the varied colors, that I'm sure I will wear it especially this summer. Thanks

Comment: Unicorn platters? Mega lots of bulk comments? Alpaca spit? LOL! If I had only known I wouldn't have joined either! Thanks for the laughs.

Comment: Hilarious how unicorns can get so much mileage!!! LAUGH!!

Comment: I absolutely will not except a store bought comment! It will be handmade and you wil like it! Thanks for the tip about buying comments in bulk!

Comment: I think handmade comments should be allowed as well! (And I hope you've recovered from your flashback!) :D
