Comment: You're not gonna believe this, but you sent me the exact same card I sent my partner. I'm so happy, too, because it's hard to part with lovely book ones like this! I agree with your plan exactly. Thanks!
Response: What are the odds of that happening? It must be a card you like also, I hope! Thanks for rating and adding a heart!

Comment: Thank you Peggy for the cat postcard and stamps - you are so sweet. And I will get Laurie and Liliana's traveling postcards on their way in round 87.
Response: Sounds good, Dartha--price of stamps has gone up which I did not remember in time to stock up on Forever stamps in advance of the price hike. Thanks for rating and for adding a heart.

Comment: Peggy: Your TH tag is just amazing! I love the embossing folder that you used and the clock and key - it's all just fantastic!! And thank you so much for the extras and your handmade envelope! So glad you will be able to continue to swap even with your new Deacon duties!!
Response: You are most welcome for the tag---I enjoyed making it as I used some TH materials that I had kind of forgotten to be using; I working to correct that!

Comment: Thank you so very much Peggy for such a great swap. You are very sweet. I really hope you are better by now. We could do with some of the snow you made for me, it’s so terribly hot here at the moment .
Response: Well, I'm glad the snowy man and all cooled you down a bit. We could almost ALWAYS use something to cool us down a bit--6--8 month summers are so LONG! HOT! and MISERABLE, with humidity levels in the 80%--90%. That's one reason I'd move to St. Paul to be closer to my children and now potential for a grandchild, preferably before I'm 80! :-) <3 <3 <3

Comment: Thank you for the cute Christmas postcard! I hope your daughter and hubby are staying warm in all this cold!
Response: Thanks for rating and for adding a heart! They actually found the winter stormy weather interesting. She works from home as a legal consultant specializing in document review online. So at the moment she is working for the Jones Day Fir in Dallas where they used to live. Des Moine apparently hasn't many if any firms large enough to hire such consultants but she's put feelers out among the legal community just in case. But with Jones-Day, see can work online to review the documents since they reviewed them online when she went to their location. Dann's job seems to what he had hoped for so far--but it's only been barely 3 months. His commute HAS to be easier that any he's had in Houston and Dallas!

Comment: I love this PC!! Moving close to potential grandkids - good plan. They are just the BEST thing!
Response: Well, I think that is what we are going to do----we don't have to rush at all as even if they start getting pregnant as soon as they were married, it takes 9 months for the baby to arrive!

Comment: I love the F. Scott Fitzgerald postcard and quote! Thanks for resending! Hope you're having a good reading year so far! I'm embarrassed my last book took me 2 weeks to read - usually I'm a fast reader! But I've been so busy with work and my kids! Happy swapping!
Response: You are most welcome--I'm happy that you like the quotation. It is hard to tell what to choose since we don't all know each other very well. I know what you mean about s-l-o-w reading now. I finished a "chic-lit" holiday book in no time, but I have to get back to the deeper mystery that I set aside for some holiday reading of all sorts--poems, children't books I cherish, and some short fiction along with the "chic-lit" book. I'm not certain what I'm going to next--serious non-fiction, classic British Victorian novel, or another contemporary mystery novel. HAPPY READING TO YOU! Thanks for rating and for adding a heart!

Comment: Peggy! The page you sent is so special! I love that you used your own photo, and I love your kitty you’re holding. ❤️ I love the story behind the photo which gives it so much meaning. 😊 I’m going to put it on display with my other select pages where I can see it. Thanks for all extras too! Happy New Year! 🥰
Response: Thank you for all your kind comments--I'm happy that you like the page; I always wonder if I'm staying true to the things you like best in a swap whether in actual life you'd still love it that much. Than for the heart and for remembering to rate my page!

Comment: Oh my gosh! It is GORGEOUS!! Thank you so much! I feel very lucky to be the one who got this little album from you. I LOVE it. I even made my hubby sit and look at it. lol I want to use it for something extra special, so I think I might put my great-nieces and nephews in it (I have almost 30!). And on top of that you sent a gazillion awesome extras. You certainly spoiled me, Peggy. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Response: You are more than welcome! I'm glad you like the little album; I had a great time making it; I've become quite fond of making them through a few swaps that have helped me learn how to do many things with them. Mostly, my ideas come from YouTube videos I've watched in order to make the other albums for other swaps. May 2019 be a year of blessings for you and those 30 great-nieces and nephews! My two are so very special to me--like grandchildren after those first 5 years together one day every week, especially with Nate. Marissa and I didn't have that many years of bonding and not until she was older than when Nate began those days at 3 or 4 months. It did make a huge difference. But she is just as loved as he is! Thanks for rating and for one of those special hearts! Peggy

Comment: Hi Peggy. I finally got the beautiful card today. You did a great job and I really like it. Thank you also for the extras. It isn't necessary but always appreciated. I hope that you will be feeling better soon. I had a big problem with UTIs for quite a while but thankfully, I haven't had them for a couple of years. I can't believe you have to wait until the end of January to see a specialist! How horrible. Hopefully your primary is giving you something to ease the pain and discomfort! Hope you can have a merry Christmas! 🎄
Response: Thanks so much for your rating with the added heart as well! Your patience is especially appreciated. Yes, the Dr has me on a 20 day round of antibiotics: 2 per day for 10 days and then 1 per day for another 10 days. I think that it just may have killed the infection----I'm sure hoping so. I take the last pill on the 25th. My kids are all here and enjoying being together. Being 6 yr apart Jenn and Paul weren't close as children, but now, as adults they are on the same "ground" so to speak. It's good to see that happening. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Comment: Thank you for the pretty postcard and Merry Christmas!
Response: You are most welcome--I enjoy these regular reminders of some specially loved children's books that I discovered for the first time along with my daughter. We made our first trip to the library when she was about 18 months, and I will always cherish the first library book we ever read: "Good Morning, Farm." I was able to locate a much used and loved copy of it on Ebay as the most important library book for Jennifer and me! Years later, we found it in a Houston library for my son. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and wonderful New Year!

Comment: Peggy, this is such a beautiful ATC...I love the sisters, the arch you created is lovely, and your embellishments are perfection. Even the rusty, vintage-y colors speak to me! Thank you for the lovely extras, as well...this was a treat to open!
Response: Your items on Flickr are so gorgeous, I wonder if I can make anything that comes anywhere close to your creations. Thank you for your kind comments--I always learn from them which is one reason I do enjoy sending items to you! I know this year has been challenging for you, so I wish you a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS and pray God will bring you blessings galore in 2019! Thanks for rating and for the <3!

Comment: Hi Peggy. I got the October TH ATC today. Thank you so much. I always love getting things from you. They are so much fun and obviously had a lot of work put into them. I really love the little cat on the pumpkin!. Thank you also for the extras. They aren't necessary but always welcome! 🤗
Response: You are most welcome! Thanks for remembering to rate and the the wonderful <3! I really liked that kitty on the pumpkin once I tried his there. Of course, anything with a kitty is FINE for me! Thanks also for joining the swap!

Comment: Hi Peggy. I love the September collage ATC. All of the things that I remember back in the day (except the one room school house). I saw the nibs at Tuesday Morning but decided they were just too thick. It is perfect for this ATC! ♥️
Response: Thanks for remembering to rate and for the so important heart! I am glad you enjoyed the back to school in vintage days--as I said I barely escaped attending a one room school--my friends on other side of the road did attend it. My cousin just about 6 months older than I, attending one and had ONLY Thanksgiving Day off, so I'd often go home with her from that day at my grandparents' home. Then we'd go together to school on Friday. Yes, I was delighted to have a chance to go to school! I loved it--could easily and happily been a professional student if only I could have found someone to foot the high cost of doing that! Have a blessed and joy-filled holiday season! Happy Swapping!

Comment: What a wonderful journal page. I was so happy to see your name on the envelope today. You and your hips. I hope this next replacement works wonders for you. I am still having trouble with my Achilles’ tendon. Not walking very well on it. Getting ready to go on a cruise to Cuba and points south the middle of November. May be sitting on a balcony more than anything, but I will be doing something. Have a tour planned in Cuba in one of the classic convertibles. That should be fun. Again thank you for a great swap. Pat💕💕
Response: You are welcome--I, too, was happy to find I was sending to you for this swap. I hope you are having fun in Cuba and points south of it. Take care--hoping hip will hold on until that wedding on March 23! I am so happy that my son found someone with whom to share life and a family. I cannot wait for that "family" part--I'll be 70 in April and still have no grandchildren. My peers have grands heading off to college and some have great-grands as well! Have a wonderful holiday season! How can that year have raced by so rapidly?

Comment: Thank you for the racoon PC Peggy! Yes they are cute but I have some raccoon horror stories too, they can be very destructive! Little devils LOL
Response: Oh, my yes, they can be very destructive and at times vicious! Fortunately, I've never had to encounter one of the horror stories. The one we had on the deck at our previous house just stood up with the lights fully on inside and out as if it were watching us and not the opposite. He sure enjoyed cat chow! Our cat food budget probably went up by half when he was around as we had to keep it out for the two outside cats we had--they could not follow inside manners about marking territories. That I will NOT have in my house. Otherwise, I prefer inside cats as they live much longer and more safely. My best buddy ever, Thomas, was with me for 19 years! Happy Swapping!

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. Love the armadillo. I saw one for the first time in Florida last year. 😊
Response: Aren't they strange little creatures? I got to watch three of them in the woods after dark but with enough flashlight to let me see them. It was an interesting creature. I hate that they really are pretty close to being road bumps in some areas of Texas. I suppose we'd have far too many if they had no life hazards to control population. I just hate to see them smushed on the highway. Happy Swapping!

Comment: Thank you for the nice card. The maple leaf is fitting for the fall season. I enjoy the stamps used! =D
Response: You are welcome--and thank you for rating and adding the precious <3! I do love fall and really miss it. My daughter is now moving to Des Moines, Iowa, and my son is in central Wisconsin. I may now have a reason to return to the midwest--in a CITY--few to find there except maybe Chicago, Minneapolis. A university town might be OK like Madison, WI or Iowa City, IA. This will take some thinking AND so convincing my husband to leave Houston where he has lived his whole life. I may have to push pretty hard!

Response: You are most welcome--I'm happy that you liked the ATC. Mixing media took me a while to get used to and to feel I did it well enough that I could swap with it. I love it, but still feel I have a huge amount to learn! Happy Swapping! Thanks for the <3!

Comment: Thank you for the very cute postcard :) Living life twice sounds like an insightful experience indeed!
Response: I really like the idea--especially if we get to keep the wisdom we've built up with experience. I want that mostly for my mothering skills--that became so much easier as I cared for my great nephew, AKA my grandson. I found myself doing things that were so easy I can't see how I missed them. But one day a week and not the parent means working without the daily grind of little things and the ultra responsibility for raising the child. I can only hope that some of the things I did with him will remain a part of his moral fiber as he becomes a young man in less time than seems possible!

Comment: Of course always creative and very Tim style vintage ...love the old green car ... looks like a Buick grill? I love old cars .. love this swap series ... thanks for the atc the wonderful extras the note and this swap!
Response: Kathryn, I was pleased to finally be sending you a swap which hasn't happened in a while. Hope all is going well for you. I'm going to need left hip replaced and rod and pins removed, but I'm hoping it can be held off until after March 23 when my son is getting married in St. Louis---venue is mostly OUTSIDE! I'm going to need warm clothes--altho we could be lucky and have a spring day. We'll hope March comes in like a lion there so that it will be getting ready to go out like a lamb! :-)

Comment: Peggy, thank you so much for the lovely collage you made...I think your painting is perfection, and the butterflies...what's not to love about beautiful butterflies! You're a great swap partner, and I thank you for it.
Response: Thank you, Donetta--I'm glad you like my painting. I used to be able to do so many things with acrylics but it was a LONG time ago, but I think a little more practice will be able to get back to using the techniques I learned back in the 80s. I is mostly knowing how to load the brush. Acrylics dry so fast that you really haven't much time to "fix" something that didn't work properly. Thanks for the encouragement! I'll keep practicing!

If you don't like the other one, you might consider sending it back, if you'd like. I can use it for myself or for another swap someday. If you'd like to keep it, that's just fine as well.

Comment: Hi Peggy thank you for the book themed PC . I remember reading this one and I enjoyed it. Happy summer swapping peace love light
Response: I'm amazed that the two sentences were enough for you to recognize the book. I did enjoy it and am reading another one from the same author, if I'm correctly remembering the book I used for that postcard. Hope you are having a good summer; it has been so hot and WET over most of the country except where they need it so much to fight the wildfires that seem much worse than normal. I am convinced of global warming! Thanks for rating and for adding a precious heart!

Response: I am doing much better now except my back has become a much bigger problem---slight scoliosis and a slight twisting of the spine because of that. Now I know why my back hurts! But, as always, working on swaps and making my own creations to keep sometimes distracts me from the pain--better than a pain pill and no undesirable side effects or addiction fears! :-)

Response: I am so glad you like it--everyone likes different kinds of art and style, so sometimes I really try hard to get something that matches what I find in profiles. I am doing much better--leg is just at the point of getting into the pool! That is good as the Aquatic Fitness Class just started in the community pool and our kiddos are coming for the day tomorrow!

Comment: Oh, I love the acetate pocket with the tags on the ATC! I'm a sucker for interactive creations. :) What an envie full of extra delights, too. Thanks again, Peggy.
Response: You are most welcome--I first made an ATC with a pocket for a swap that required a pocket and items to fill it up. I really liked making it and do one again now and then. It is really giving the ATC some extra space as without the pocket, I'd never get all of that on the ATC itself! Thanks for rating and for adding a nice heart!

Comment: Thank you so much for the bookmark. I absolutely loved reading your letter - what an incredible story! My story is quite different as I grew up in a home full of avid readers. I used to love going into my dad's study where he a huge (to me) built-in bookshelf packed full of interesting reads. In spite of that, I remember my parents getting irritated with me when we were on a road trip because I had my nose in a book (Gone with the Wind) the whole time and was missing all of the amazing scenery. LOL As a preschool teacher I am constantly on the lookout for great books for my little peeps (thank you, Goodwill). Thanks again and happy swapping!
Response: You are so welcome. I'm happy the long story explaining my design of the bookmark didn't bore you to tears! My mother was a reader, but with no library and VERY limited funds. she didn't have many. I did subscribe to Reader's Digest Condensed Books for a few year, but again, the stories were generally too adult for my 10 yr old mind. That was the age when my 5th grade teacher read to us after lunch time recess---going through the whole Little House series by L. Ingalls Wilder. I read them to both kids and loved them each time. Their experience in S. Dakota was not far from where our farm was. In fact, in here diary of Almonzo and her journey to their farm in Missouri (or Arkansas?), she writes of camping over night in our town (Belden) which she names along with the creek where they camped. It is not far from our rented farm! That was the best teacher in my life there. She wrote a really special message in my Autograph Book: she wrote, "I am expecting great things from you." That has lived in my brain all of my life--I thought of her as I finished a Master's Degree in Literature and as I completed all of my courses for a Ph. D. I passed one exam but never did finish the other exam and write the dissertation. My daughter was born (conveniently) between semesters and I continued finishing my courses, but they decided that she needed me as a parent more than I needed that degree hanging on my wall--a choice I would make again if I had to again. I taught at Purdue while working on my graduate courses and for 21 years at a community college, where I could focus on teaching without having to publish, which I'd probably have enjoyed, but it was teaching that I loved! Thanks for your kind rating with the heart added!

Comment: Lovely Tags. Thank you so much. And thank you for the cute extras.
Response: You are most welcome--I hope you can find uses for all of them eventually. I got a bit carried away and just kept fussy cutting as I watched TV! Enjoy using them--feel free to send any that are not to your taste, on to someone whom you think would enjoy them. Happy Swapping!

Response: You are most welcome, and I'm happy to know that you like it. I tried to make it so that you could add photos and journaling if you want to and make it an actual mini scrapbook, or it could just be a pretty book, like are journal pages. I'm glad you like the little extras--they were fun to pick out. Thanks for rating and for the many hearts!

Response: You are most welcome! I do wish I could visit and see your wonderful flowers! Maybe some day I'll get that chance! Our vintage/antique roses are blooming their hearts out! And my herb garden is growing so lush and aromatic! The plants clearly enjoy the cooler than usual spring and didn't mind the few very chilly days (20s and 30s F) that we had in January and February for only a couple days each time.

Comment: What a wonderful swap. The ATC is beautiful. And all of the cool extras! Thank you very much. Loved it all. Pat💕💕
Response: You are most welcome, Pat. How're the shoulders doing? No more surgeries coming down the pike, I do hope. We've both had more than enough of those! Are you having some nice weather? We are still cooler than normal here, with another arctic front coming through tomorrow--my herb garden is loving the cooler weather and everything is going strong. Most of the plants we thought the cold in January may have destroyed are showing new shoots breaking through the soil from the roots. I told hubby to wait and not buy anything because I was sure everything would come back from roots because the ground does not freeze. I am thinking we'll not be able to start our aerobic water fitness class at beginning of May as we did last year because we keep having lows in the 50s and sometimes 40s over night.

Comment: What a great note! One of the nicest notes I have received in a swap. I love the cards and postcards. Thank you so much!
Response: You are most welcome and I'm happy that the cards and postcards brought you happiness. One thing I really like is when my sending partner includes a quick note about her personal crafting and artistic interests; I think every swap needs a quick note included from the sender. For me it is a matter of common courtesy; because I spent most of my life teaching students how to right, writing one of those note is probably easier and faster than for others, but I just appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes with a note to your partner. We get to know each other through those little, simple notes to each other! Thanks for rating and for adding a heart!

Comment: I love the BTC you sent! I have never heard of the "Bang" technique, but after seeing yours, I am definitely going to try it. Thanks so much for all the extras. I understand your need for a funeral for the laptop. I should have thought of that for the two that have died on me. Have a great day! Come on Spring!
Response: You are very welcome, and I thank you for remembering to rate and for adding a <3! I just learned the "bang technique" from another swap hosted by #123poggy123 for a swap she hosted on Tim Holtz Challenges---or maybe for her ATC Techniques and Challenges. She is the first partner I sent to here on the Bot back in 2012. She lives about 10 miles from the central Iowa town I lived in and where I went to high school! That partner for my first swap really made me feel quite at home here on Swap-Bot! She has become a dear friend who kindly jumped in to take care of my hosting for the If we hadn't moved back in 2016, we'd have come home to a home totally destroyed by water in the house. I'd have lost my 104 yr old upright grand piano! I think God was taking care of us--our new home is less than a mile away but had no water damage at all! I could never repay her for all that she did to keep most of my swaps sent on time and contacted swap partners that would have to wait for my return. It's a small world sometimes here on the Bot! I hope the extras I chose will be useful for you in future swaps or for keep at home creations that need all of those! Happy Swapping! PeggyO

Comment: Love your Tim Holtz Challenge: Winter. I love Timmy and love your ATC. Love that sled die, very cute It is hot here. 87. I love it! Dusty, the lawyer is coming down on Sunday for a week. Her weather has been colder than normal but no snow. Atlanta has had more snow than Carbondale. They have been lucky because everyone around them has had ice or snow. They are south of Kentucky and almost sea level so they are in a pocket between the two rivers. Thank you for hosting another fun swap Pat💕💕
Response: You are so welcome and thank YOU for rating and adding a treasured <3! The sled dies are one of my favorites because we all had a sled like those when on the farm and had plenty of snow and places that were great down-hill sights. We also had a creek going through the farm we rented and one year go plastic "skates" that attached to our shoes so we could skate on the frozen creek. However, they never really worked because they wouldn't stay on our shoes of boots. As much as I hated that tiny town of 367 pop., we did have some childhood experiences that I realized my kids could never have from a backyard in a Houston suburb. But, at least they did have access to children's literature that Jenn and I discovered simultaneously as I'd never had access to anything but the Dick and Jane readers and Little Golden Books, etc. We could sometimes get to pick one of those or a coloring book at the pharmacy after seeing the Dr. If you have swap ideas for the group, feel free to host it or let me in on the idea and I'll get it up and going. I really don't have time for this and had no idea that the original founder would disappear without a word of information! I'm only continuing because I like the group and hate to see it disappear! Happy Swapping! Enjoy all of the 80+ temps and I'll head toward snow in the north!

Response: You are most welcome and thank you for swapping and for the <3! I am very happy to know that you like the card I made. I love working with pages from old books and magazines. I am blessed with several "Etude" magazines from the 1920's and 1930's that were in my mother's things--they had to have been bought by her sisters as she wasn't born until 1924. They are a treasure trove of ads, articles about teaching piano and orchestras and bands for young children and on through high school and college levels. I've had much fun using them just for the old music pages. Most of the magazines are in excellent condition. They also had many sheet music pages from the 20's and 30's. I am happy you liked the card!

Comment: Wow beautiful mz. Peggy! Glad I received yours before sending mine out... think I need to add more!! Glad to hear your doing well also. We need to have coffee after Christmas.... have a very merry Christmas & great new year!
Response: You are most welcome! Don't worry about adding more to yours; I just had the supplies so had fun adding more items. I bought a "boat-load" of TH supplies from a lady who did a couple classes using Tim's techniques. She went out and bought all she could find, decorated one of his little storage case and then never used any of it except to finish the items from the classes. She sold all of that for $25! Then later she called and offered all of the Christmas TH supplies again for $25. So, I have many more things than I would ordinarily have, allowing me to add more than ordinarily possible for me. Have a Merry Christmas--AND definitely coffee after Christmas.

Comment: Thank you for the card =) My youngest kitten hasn't got a chip yet (he'll get one when we take away his manhood in January), and my oldest only has a tattoo of a number in his ear, but it is still readable, so it's almost better than a chip! They don't do that anymore... The other two are up to speed on the tech ;P
Response: We have one cat some students and I were able to catch over and over o July 5--she'd just run under another car every time we got her out from under another one. She finally went under a SUV which gave the student more space to get a good hold on her, spitting and hissing for all she was worth---just as my hubby arrived with a cat carrier. He planned to take her to the community shelter since we had just adopted a kitten a few months before. However, it was Monday, July 5, and the shelter was closed. I decided that meant God intended for us to be her people, and now hubby loves her and could never part with her! She still needs a chip so I will see if vet can do it the next time she is due for a check up.

Response: You are most welcome! I am so happy that you liked the PC that much.! I have to experience autumn vicariously here on the Bot since Houston really doesn't have fall. The leaves just turn brown and fall off the trees in DECEMBER! The poetry is because I was an English professor so I look for it to use whenever possible. I didn't think about the postage stamp, but it does work with everything else! Have a happy, blessed Thanksgiving!

Comment: Thanks for the cute Dutch girl!
Response: You are most welcome! I thought she was a little cutie and was a change from the easy, boring typical alphabet swaps. I can't always be that creative---just depends on the cards I have---filling a large drawer and one shelf beside the drawer. So, if I have time I try to look for something more than the obvious. I make certain I have something already to go for every letter of alphabet before I join the swap, but if some are rather trite, I look for something more creative IF I can find one. Have a happy holiday season!

Comment: Tim Holtz would be proud of what you did for this ATC. I love that you sent the swaps in a homemade card. Nice touch! Thank you for the leaves for me to use.
Response: You are welcome, and thanks for your compliments on the background. I made the backgrounds all on one sheet of paper and then cut out the ATC size pieces for all 3 swaps using this technique. I like using the homemade cards, but don't always have time. I have more of those leaves than I know what to do with! I got them at a dollar store last year to use in decorations for our Nov. Celebration: a combination of House warming, Les's 70th birthday, and our 25th anniversary! Thanks for your rating!

Comment: I like the Halloween theme of this ATC but, my favorite part is the colors you used for the background. Just beautiful.
Response: Thanks, Jackie--I really enjoyed working with this technique and, if I remember correctly, I used Oxide Inks which give much more color. I was really happy with the backgrounds I got. I must remember these techniques more often instead of hunting for the paper that will work. Have a good week! (How goes the moving so far?)

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful seal postcard! We do not have them down by us, but I think they are up north. We have mostly harbor seals here, with sea otters and sea lions and whales. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: You are most welcome--I would sure love to see all of the creatures of the northern water ways in you area (or others) in their real habitat and living as they normally do rather than in zoos! I am beginning to half mixed feelings about zoos. Yes, they are great ways to show animal lovers, like me, animals I may never see. This is why I took my kids to the Houston Zoo many times and then read about the animals in books we could find at the library and in National Geographic sets of 1 beautiful book every quarter. Between the two of them we had a good collection and with Nat. Geo quality of info and beautiful photos! but the other part of me says that taking them out of their environment and into a "pretend environment" is a deep violation of the animals' dignity and of its original ecosystem. It's a "Catch 22," situation I suppose. With a city not more than 100 miles away, I'd love living where you do!

Comment: Thank you for the really cute postcard! It is disappointing that nobody else is interested in swapping. Maybe for December they will be.
Response: You are most welcome; I'm happy you liked the card! The swap was started several years ago by a young woman in Holland who was just too busy to keep hosting--she did one swap every WEEK! I was not going to do that so switched to extra partners but same number of cards over the whole of the month. Maybe she just had many that were attached to her as host and they followed her elsewhere. Otherwise, I cannot figure it out.

Comment: Peggy, oh my goodness, I am speechless! This is the most beautiful flip book I've ever received (or made, for that matter). There are so many amazing elements! It's full of dimension and movement and I can actually make it my own--there are so many places to add my own writing and photos. This must have taken hours and hours . . . and more hours! You work is impeccable and I'm so glad to be the lucky recipient of something so lovely. Thank you for creating something this special for me. I absolutely cannot WAIT to 'borrow' some of these techniques for my future flipbooks. You're amazing! (p.s. let's do lots of private swaps ;+)
Response: I had such fun once I got going with the basic box design which I found on YouTube. As I got into the flip pages (some of those ideas also from YouTube, I really had fun---so much fun that I ended up with too much inside the 1/2 inch spine. I want to make one for myself when time allows. I would be very open to some private swaps for certain. Thanks for your rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you SO much for working with Jackie's picking up swaps to finish while we were evacuated in Dallas with our daughter and hubby. We were VERY lucky to have absolutely NO WATER in our house. If we had not moved last Sept., we'd have come home to a devastated home--all of first floor and maybe higher. My 104 yrs old piano would have been ruined beyond repairing it. I can't imagine how we could be doing what that would require---my RA is in a definite flare and at 71 my hubby would be doing more that he should and refusing to stop until he dropped!

I usually make more background than needed for an ATC because I'll have background for another ATC or I can decide which part of the space I want to use for the card since it is often prettier in some areas that others.

Response: You are most welcome; I'm happy you liked it. Isn't that must fantastic? It is from a music magazine my mother's sisters must have bought given the dates in the late 1920's to 1930's. She was born in 1924, the youngest of 11--when her mother was 48! I have several of the magazines, named "Etude," that were in my mother's things, but I knew about them and sometimes worked on pieces in them when taking piano lessons. She also had a huge hardback book of songs by Steven Foster, but I have no idea what became of it. I also have sheet music from the 1930's and from WW 2 that were definitely hers. I share them often as I have far more than I can ever use and doubt that neither my son nor daughter will want them; she already has a couple of the magazines. Thanks for rating and for the heart!

Response: You are most welcome, Bev. I had fun working on it but was feeling uncertain about the oxides as it is my first time working with them for a "real" project. I'm doing well for the time being--some back procedures should soon be coming and a return to the hip surgeon for imaging to figure out why I've having chronic pain that feels like nerves in the pelvic area which my pain management Dr says is hip related. I'm not looking forward to doing that as I envision the word "surgery" coming up as the way to fix it. Oh, well, won't worry about it until it comes up.Other options may be available and it might resolve itself in a bit more time. I love the items you are posting to Flickr; I must start putting my new works up there with every swap so everyone can see the progression of my work. Happy swapping--thanks for the precious heart!

Comment: Thank you for sharing this Minneapolis postcard, Peggy! I think I've only been to Minneapolis once, too, though I have an aunt who lives there. I've also been to NYC several times. When a child, on a road trip with my parents, my Dad turned our yellow Volkswagen diesel pickup the wrong way down a one-way street. . .in Harlem! I think that was the first time my brother and I had heard "those words." ;-) As an adult, my trips to NYC have been limited to transit stops at JFK and LaGuardia. Also, one of my New York stops was on the way to Moscow, Russia, via Frankfurt, Germany. And, like your Minneapolis memory, we were stuck in the international portion of the airport. So two years later when I went to Prague, I flew again to Frankfurt. . .as my destination! After a wonderful day of sightseeing, I caught an overnight train down to Prague. :-) Thank you again for sharing! And for reminding me of several happy moments from my youth. :-)
Response: You are quite welcome--I am glad you liked the card. I do LOVE New York City--but I've mostly seen Manhattan which would never be an option for my living there. I just like the way SO many people manage to get around the city by using the subway. I've been amazed how easily my daughter and I could get nearly everywhere we've gone via the subway. The best time was when we had a pretty long walk from the subway to the most amazing Dim Sum lunch. We were in one of the top 5 restaurants in the city . . . not best of Chinese but best of any 5 restaurants in the city. We knew why by the time we finished our lunch! It was worth the long, cold walks to get to and from the restaurant and the subway!

Response: You are most welcome, Bev! I thought it would probably survive the mail but knew it might not have done so! You and I have much in common in our need for rehab and recovery! Hope you are ready by the time you must get back to work. Life is full of challenges; I just wish all those problems could be evenly distributed to everyone, thus reducing each person's problems! Not gonna happen though, so we just have to keep facing our own situations and recovering even when it feels more that possible.

Comment: Thank you for this Marquis de Sade postcard, Peggy. And you mentioned a sweet/sad novel and movie with a Jennifer in it? Do you remember the title/s? "Jennifer" was the number one name for girls in 1974 (when I was born), and in fact it was #1 from 1970 through 1984. One year when I was in K-12 schooling, I was one of SIX Jennifers (of various spellings) in my class! When I ask my parents why they chose such a then-common name for me, they said that they too liked the sound of it. (My reply was that "Of course you liked the sound of it; you heard it everywhere!" -haha-) These days, I prefer to go by "Jen," though my family calls me "Jenni." :-) Thank you for sharing!
Response: You are most welcome---it seemed a good match for your profile. The book and movie titles are "Love Story." It is a rather trite/sappy tear-jerking story of a young couple in love and facing the reality that Jennifer is dying of cancer and their love will be gone. At one point when my Daughter was 4, her Sunday School class had 4 Jennifer's--one had the same birth date: month, day, year! When I took her to her 2 week check up, I was appalled to find that nearly every girl patient called by nurses was a Jennifer. She too goes by Jenn as an adult, but has never been a Jenny because we didn't want that name. Thanks for rating and for the heart!

Comment: I LOVE the postcard! Purple tulips and the kindness quote came just on time--right after I submitted final grades and when students were driving me to the brink of madness with the "grade-shopping." Ugh! Have a happy day!
Response: You are so welcome! I hated that frantic end-of-semester panic and the frantic pleas for "what can I do to make a better grade?" It is too late now--classes have ended! Where were you throughout the semester! I don't miss that nor the endless piles of essays to grade now that I'm retired! The state has made so many mandates here in Texas about student completion rates. Two year college students in a community college should complete in 2 years and why aren't they? No funding or drastic cuts in funding are based on that. So from chats with colleagues still working, I understand that the English Dept. was mandated to give higher grades and to eliminate the Comp I research paper since that is when students start dropping the class. So, how are they going to write the research papers for history, gov't, psych, sociology papers? Or do they have to drop their research papers as well! Between our K-12 scary issues and the mandates requiring higher grades in Higher Educ institutions and public universities, how will college degrees mean anything? Thanks for rating and for adding a heart!

Comment: I absolutely adore this ATC you created! It's beautiful and exactly what I love! When I get organised, I need to set up a display of my fav things so they're not hidden away, I want them seen! To top it off, you sent me Graphic 45 Sketchbook I've been wanting to purchase! Thanks for being a great swap partner Peggy...take care, till next we meet, cheers 😊❤ (I can't believe they charged you so much for postage though :(
Response: You are quite welcome for everything. I was happy to discover I had a few little bits and pieces I could part with from the Sketchbook collection and share with you. The postage was calculated from weighing the item at home and using the USPS calculate postage site. I never want to send with too little postage, so I sometimes had a bit more just to be certain. Hope you are having a nice weekend.Thanks for ratings and for the heart!

Comment: Thank you for your wonderful swap! I love the postcards and the old magazine parts <3.
Response: You are most welcome--I am so happy that you like what I chose. The old magazines are my favorite, I think. My mother's family was very interested in reading and music, I suspect, based on the old books I have--some hymnals from the 1800s. Those are on the music rack of my piano, made in 1913. My parents paid $35 for it---got it from an older farm couple whose kids were grown and didn't want it just taking up space. That was stretching the budget back then, but they wanted me to have the education that wasn't all that great in our little school---There were 6 of us in kindergarten, but in 7th grade we were only 3 students!

Response: You are most welcome! I am happy you like the card I chose. I could write forever about my furry friends that have blessed my life! Our new house is so beautiful, and we are getting some pretty gardens growing now, but we only have baby oak trees. So I miss the squirrels and waking up to the whistling of the cardinals, songs of the mockingbird, and even the sharp squawking of the gorgeous blue jays! We've already started tree stakes on the 2 baby oaks trees we have in front yard, and we have 2 good sized crepe myrtles in the back garden beds that done by a landscaper with rock walls around all of them and around front garden bed landscaped by builder or the community association. But it will be a while before the birds and squirrels find us!

Comment: Thank you so very much for the awesomely well done momma bunny and babies ATC and the extras! Thanks also for inviting me to the TH group! I'm just now really getting into his products. A local store here will be featuring his products in demos and classes. So excited! Plus I've been finding a lot of his products on clearance at JoAnns and Tuesday Morning! Whee! Take good care of you and happy you are doing better. <3
Response: You are most welcome. I was lucky enough to attend a weekend of Tim Holtz classes in the Dallas area in 2012. That was a wonderful experience that taught me many techniques and made me less timid about using his products. He was such a good teacher and very personable and interesting. He was very approachable and I even have picture of me with him. He was so willing to talk to everyone and move around the tables as we worked on making an item using the skill he had just demonstrated and explained. And he left use extra supplies for every project. They were EXTREMELY generous about that. Hope you will join the T. Holtz Challenges. I'm on my own after working with the original owners who just left the group to me and went on to focus on something else, but I'm hoping to keep it going and build up with more swaps as I'm feeling better.

Comment: What a gorgeous postcard, thank you! We didn't get hit with snow as bad as other cities around us, and I also love Lafayette...it's about an hour and half from me,and has my favorite pizza place brunos...
Response: You are quite welcome-I haven't been back to Lafayette since my son was about 18 months old; he just turned 36 last January! I don't think Bruno's was around when we were there. We started in Fall 1968 and left in 1977 for my now ex's first job with his PhD in nuclear physics. I'm retired English professor, so it's easy to see that we were just not well matched---stuck in there for 20 years but had to come up for air by then. Hope you are beginning to see some evidence of spring by now! But I remember crocus coming up through the snow! Thanks for rating and especially for adding a heart!

Response: What fun to have the advent calendar! I've seen it for sale at his museum online store, but my kids are 36 and 42. Thus, I don't have use for it and our "grands" aren't here enough in December for us to use it. I suspect I will need glasses for reading (and computer?) because I still have astigmatism which cannot be corrected. I've worn them since I was in first grade, so they just feel like a normal part of me! Thanks for rating and for adding a heart!

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful post card with the wise quotes ! I shall treasure it . Yes we must go on despite our limitations Did you use embossing for the quotes? Mine never come out so good
Response: You are very welcome. I think I used ultra thick embossing powder, or I embossed it twice by using a stamping tool that keeps cling stamps in place so you can stamp as many times as you need to get a good result. So I do regular embossing and then stamps again with the same ink and emboss that again. I'm sure that's what I did. Thanks for rating and for the special added heart!

Comment: Thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL postcard! And you are right....homeschooling has definitely changed a lot over the years. I'm thankful to be in a time, and situation where I am able to educate my kids at home.
Response: You are most welcome. I am glad that you are able to school at home. I don't like what public school did to my two children, and I don't like what I see it doing to our Nathaniel. He is bored I'm certain and coping with a rigid discipline system of a color for each day depending on one's behavior--green=good,yellow=a little bad, red=not a good situation, and there are more colors but don't remember what they stand for. It is just such a rigid method and his parents were being just as rigid about it, He was terrified to go to school because of the color he might get and the grades he have on a test. My kids knew I didn't care what grade they got, just whether they now knew how to do the math, the vocabulary, grammar, etc. Enjoy this golden gift you and your kids have been granted!

Comment: Peggy, the M-A-S cards are here, along with some beautiful holiday extras that I will stash away for November. I like the glittery border cuts especially, and the Civil War-era (?) fashion plate is super special and will be treasured. Thanks for your generosity, and I hope you are feeling very much better!
Response: You are more than welcome, Paula. I am happy that you like them and the holiday extras. I feared you might have all your holiday supplies put up until next year, but because I got tons of T Holtz supplies from a friend who virtually gave them away---she did so twice. She had forgotten the Christmas stash she had. So I am happy to share that bonanza of everything Tim! take care and may the new year bring you only good things. My year ended on a pretty rotten note. I had really looked forward to fixing holiday dinner and having Nate and Rissa for Christmas. They will be with their mom's family next year, so they will be 8 and 10 before we have the holiday with them. We'll just have lots of fun together through the year instead.

My own learn-to-read books number among those lost to history, as I haven't been able to find them anywhere on- or offline. Thank you for sharing!
Response: You are welcome--I do cherish Dick and Jane even though all my relatives say i was reading from the Bible and newspapers by the time I was 5. But the town really had no books, so I guess I just liked the feel of a book in my hands! That reading series is had to find as well except for reprints and the postcards and reproductions/reprinting of a few. The "real things"" are in the antique dealers but at a premium price. I am not fond enough of them to spend $50-$100 and up for one volume!

I love the shape of the box you chose, the washi trim, the embellies, and all the "hardware"...and the vintage papers are just stunning. But then you went and STUFFED the box with amazing extras--wonderful papers and tons of metal embellishments that are just...! (You were WAY more generous than I was with my own swap partner, and now I'm feeling a bit guilty and unimaginative.) You totally spoiled me with this swap... Thank you so much for sharing your talent and generosity with me. <3
Response: You are most welcome, Paula! I have a fried who thought she just LOVED working with Tim's materials and style after taking a class in using his techniques. She went out and bought nearly everything with his name on it. Then she never did a single thing with them and wanted to get them out of storage space she needed, so she sold me so much stuff I couldn't believe it. So I have some things that I will probably never get used for years! So i don't mind sharing a bit extra with my partner. Don't feel bad about it AT ALL! I just had fun giving to someone--I love doing that more than getting things for myself. It is just so much fun to surprise someone with something that lights up their day! Enjoy the extras and make something amazing with them as soon as you have a chance! Thanks for rating and for the lovely heart!

I love this color combination and had fun with it for sure! Glad you liked the extras. You deserved them in return for you kind patience! Blessings--PeggyO

Comment: Well we are having a lovely chatty day today! I thought the ATC was fabulous. I love it.Thanks for the letter to add to our messages. Our paths sound very similar. I too have been blessed to have more than I ever hoped for as a child. Have a lovely day my friend Blessingsxx
Response: Oh, you are most welcome! What you received was attempt #8, so the technique certainly took a bit of practice for me, but, as I think I said, I'm contemplating using the technique with either a snow covered country church or a row of evergreen trees. But it may be too time intensive and reserved for just a few cards. Yes, I cannot believe where my education has taken me--I keep thinking the new house is all some kind of dream! Our house of 23 years was more than I dreamed possible as well and, OH, leaving behind that gigantic oak tree in front yard with two swings hanging from it for two kiddos I love. I loved that house and only made myself go because I have no business trying to keep up 3000 sq. ft. even if we were using all but one room regularly. Mainly, I knew we needed to get into a one-story house at our ages. My new knees make it less problematic, but someday that, too, might give out to hips or spine. Thanks for the Happy <3!

Comment: Wow mz. Peggy! You've got a lot on your plate & still found the time to make an awesome altered mouse trap! Thank you! Your new home sounds like it's coming along nicely! We still need to make time to see the torts! Be well!
Response: I am glad you like the mouse trap--getting two made stretched me a bit but got it finished. Actually, I had planned on making one for my daughter using the design for the first one as she pleaded for one just like it when I sent her a photo of it. We do need to get kids to the torts but they are gone on a 5000 mile road trip---mostly with just Mom! Thanks for rating and for the heart!

The perfect stamping with one of my favorite quotes as well as the flower embellishments. I also love the lacey trim around the bookmark and the fibers, you do such amazing work Peggy. I am so happy to have this bookmark in my collection. Oh my....what adorable note cards, these are so me, I love them. I can't wait to use the papers, the stamped ones is really cool I wish my stamping was that good. Thank you for another amazing swap, you made my day, many hearts and stars for you!!!! 💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖

Response: Thanks for rating and for the <3 as well! I do love tulips and miss them here. We can get them to grow by keeping bulgs in frig for several months and then planting them early in January. But they won't naturalize and come up in future seasons. You have to plant every year if you want to have them.

Comment: Woo-hoo mz. Peggy! I am happy to be your partner! Absolutely love your work!! Thank you for the beautiful atc & extras! Sounds like your pretty busy recuperating & with house! Still off on Tuesdays anytime kids get some free time!! ♡♡♡
Response: TJ--I am happy that you like the ATC--for a while I really had a hard time coming up with a plan or layout for the ATC and then, suddenly, it came together for me. I think the kids have karote or baseball after school on Tuesdays, but I will find out. We SOLD the house--well, we have accepted a very good offer and all looks as though it is coming together fine. We found the Avenues at Tuscan Lakes apartments that will do short term leased--pricey, but hadn't found any others that did less than 6 months. We will be out of house in 4-6 weeks---YIKES, lots of packing an tossing, etc. to be done! Not doing many swaps for a while other than ones I host! Have a good weekend when it gets here!

We have always had German Shepherds, they are amazing. I can't imagine life without being followed around by one or having to step over them as there is always one at my feet lol. I have one that loves to lay at my feet while sewing, sometimes he even stretches out and pushes on the sewing pedal...whoa what a surprise that is lol. Thanks again..big hugs, Tammy
Response: I am so glad you enjoyed the postcard. I am truly a German Shepherd lover since childhood. As you say, they are so loyal and gentle and loving unless they sense danger./she's the dog whose ashes are still in far back corner of my art room closet. But the miniature Schnauzer has been fun..., as you say, FULL of LOTS of energy! Thanks for rating and the heart as well!

Response: It must have been the zip code that got it to you---sorry about that error! Do read Go Set a Watchman." I really enjoyed it and don't think Atticus is bigoted; rather he is a wise realist. He knows what he has to do in order to understand the "enemy" in order to figure how to defeat them. Maybe pragmatic would describe him as well. Thanks for rating and for adding a lovely heart.

Response: Darla--I am so full of happiness because the little album turned out just right for you! I take great joy in making the best things I possibly can and sending them on to someone who is delighted to have them! You Christmas Daily sounds like an fun way of preserving a year's Christmas celebration--from the smallest of things to the most wonderful times. I'd like to have done that for the Decembers when my kids were little. I always worked hard to have shopping finished by Thanksgiving so that December was set aside for special days together doing crafts, coloring pictures, making cookies, singing carols in the car---numerous moments from those holiday weeks are stored up in my heart. A book would save the fun for them to have again now. Thanks for rating and for the heart!

Comment: You don't have to explain to me I have fibro as well and we never know if we are going to feel good enough to do a task, never an issue with me. I was so thrilled to receive your swap I love the Tim holtz style and own most of his products but not sure how to use his paints and inks. Your envelopes are amazing, I absolutely love them! I'm not sure if I can part with them, lol. Thank you for all the Tim holtz pics, I don't have these and can't wait to use them as well as the paper. You did an awesome swap and thank you so much. I hope you have more better days, take care of yourself. 😊💯👍🌟🆒
Response: Oh, you are most welcome and I am especially happy to know how much you enjoyed the envelopes. I was able to buy a huge table full of Tim Holtz products from a colleague who took a class using some of his techniques and went out and bought tons of his things and then never used them! She sold that stash for only $35. Then she sorted all her Christmas supplies and pulled all of the Tim Holtz items--another huge spread of items---for $45 as I insisted because I have so much of his supplies now, I may never get all of them used up! To learn how to use his inks and paints, etc. look for video instructions on YouTube. Also go to timholtz.com for his blog posts and demo videos. He also has 3 books that teach how to make items with his inks, paints, etc.. Hope this is a good week for you! I'm pretty good today. Thanks for rating and for the lovely heart!

Comment: A lovely card. Peggy! Thanks! Answering your question, I haven't read "Watchman", but I feel strongly that Atticus Finch should have remained the noble character that was portrayed in "Mockingbird".
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the card, Karen. Actually, I disagree with the interpretation that Atticus is not the noble man he is in :"Mockingbird." I does a few things that surprise me, yet he will not allow black women to get out of grocery lines to let him get to first of the line. He waits his turn instead and, I think, once asks a black woman to go ahead of him in the line. He does do a couple things that surprise me, but it is all part of his wisdom in keeping his position among the business community. He votes with them about certain issues, but does not carry those matters in his life. He knows he has to be friendly with both the powerful business community and its poor black laborers. Without that he could never take up the roll of mediator between the two halves of the community. That's where "Mockingbird" picks up.Hope this makes sense??? Thanks for rating a the added star!

And such a fantastic pile of gorgeous extras...I'm in artsy crafty heaven! You are correct in that I'm doing extremely well...it's almost like I never had a bad knee at all! Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement during the pre-and-post-surgery misery...no one could have understood quite like you!
Response: Donetta--you are so welcome, not just for the rating but for the things I offered to you about your knee surgery and after. I knew how much I'd have appreciated that help, and knew I was supposed to share it --the hard parts and the easier parts equally. Isn't it hard to imagine how painful the knee was before replacing it and then after the surgery---OH! those early days are ghastly! Yet now I don't know what I was doing by putting off the pain and just going on when I needed the surgery much, much earlier. I'm happy to know you are up and going again at or near full speed!

Response: You are most welcome, Marjan! How I'd like to have some snow to play in and maybe build a snowman if it's wet enough for that. I really do miss the four totally distinct seasons that we don't have here in Houston. I DO miss autumn and winter!

Comment: The book cover is amazing Peggy! I just love it and it makes it even more special using a cover that your great grand mother owned. I love the inscription and will treasure it! Thanks for the extras too (especially the Christmas postcard)! Merry Christmas!
Response: You are so welcome--I'm glad that you like the book cover. I enjoyed making it and putting my grandmother's old book to some good use because it's not old enough to be valuable and will only be sent off to Goodwill or such when I am gone. It might as well serve some good use rather than continuing to age on my book shelves. Glad you enjoyed the extras as well! Hope the new year is off to a good start for you!

Comment: Peggy, I adore this ATC. I reminded me of church programs when I was a child also. Wonderful job.
Response: You are so welcome--I'm glad you have some of those memories as well. My best is the year that they convinced my dad to be Santa and Mom didn't know--just thought he was helping with costume, etc. Then he danced into the little sanctuary with Ho, Ho, ho's and went straight to my mom and kissed her! Fortunately we were all old enough to "know" about Santa! Enjoy you weeks in Texas!

Comment: Many thanks for the Beatrix Potter card. Love it :-) How cute, a puppy as christmas gift! Some puppies learn real quick indeed :-) Merry christmas to you too!
Response: You are most welcome, Marjan! I do love Beatrix Potter!My puppy is doing so well--at 14 weeks, she has been accident free with potty training for the last two days! I find that had to believe! But the first accident free day, the grand kids were here and wore her out with chasing, running, fetching and just kid-energy stuff which Sadie B loved immensely. She will be happy to see them the next time they come for sure!

Response: You are welcome--I love vintage holiday cards for any holiday. I found lovely ones for Thanksgiving cards last year.We are starting to cool--staying in 80's at least. Heavy rains are due to come through from the tremendous hurricane hitting western Mexico and barrelling its way into Texas where it picks up more moisture from winds bringing in Gulf moisture and then heading on into the plains states. It must be some horrible storm---glad it's coming in there and not the Gulf Coast! Ike in 2008 was the worst I've experienced and don't want that even worse coming our way!

I've even been to Big Bend in the spring after a wet winter there and seen the most amazing cacti blossoms! The desert was alive with color--breath taking beauty. We went back the next spring and very few of the cacti were in bloom as they'd not had enough rain in the winter. Best wishes--thanks for rating and for the added heart!

Response: I'm glad you liked the card--I would love to know what story it is from, too. We haven't gotten to the tortoises yet but she and I are working on setting a time now that I'm set to pick them up from school always on Thursdays. The pick up time have fluctuated a lot during the first few weeks of school. I can't wait to see Nate's response! I suspect Rissa will be interested but not all that impressed--she is a princess-style girl through and through!

Comment: I love the colors of this ATC. Nice job Peggy. Thank you for the library card. It will be hard to give this up but I will find the perfect time to use it.
Response: I am so happy that you liked the way it turned out. I got the "genuine" library card and pocket from a swap in which we altered them. The host had been given many of them from a librarian whose library is finally discarding all of them since all is electronic these days. When she knew my English prof background and love of reading, she sent me about a dozen instead of the one we needed to make the altered card and pocket. I'd bought some new cards and pockets never thinking I'd get to use "real" ones. Hope you are having genuine crisp fall days in Iowa---maybe my favorite season and the one I miss most (well, I DO love snow, so they are about a tie. Take care!

I do need to get a couple mini albums made to document some time with our kiddos (see profile) and to complete a couple small album classes I took a couple years ago and abandoned while getting through my two knee replacements. I'm looking forward to finishing them soon. Then I must settle on a plan for Christmas cards and start making them! Thanks for rating and for adding a wonderful heart as well!

Thank you for another beautiful tag and the wonderful extras. Another great swap with my buddy. Sounds like your weather is our weather. Today we are having a cool wave..only 95 degrees and 95% humidity. I am also sending you organizing prayers. I hope they are helping. Pat💕💕
Response: So glad you like the tag and it did take more work without the stamps and dies, but it was actually more fun to see how close I could come to his on my own. Yes, we have a heat index of 108 and actual temp of 103 by mid-afternoon! In spite of some misc. interruptions--days having our kiddos, for all day, back getting very bad, etc. I am making pretty good progress. I have to speed up when I take time to make a swap, and I don't have many going. I am about to start on the last round of kitchen cupboards after a paper art and scrapbooking retreat from Fri-Sun. I am looking forward to that--may work on my Christmas cards there and have them ready and waiting instead of frantically making them in the December frenzy. Hope all is good with your shoulder!

Comment: I like everything about it! I like the color of the frame, the color of the butterflies, and the enameling. Wow!
Response: I am so happy that you like it---I was hoping the colors would be OK, but I just had to use the butterfly when I found it in my stash. The project was fun to make, and I'm so happy you like it. Thanks for rating and for adding a wonderful heart as well!

Comment: I just LOVE this church in the snow! Many thanks!
Response: You are most welcome--It is one of my favorites from last years cards as well--I recycle my Christmas cards by turning them into either gift tags or postcards for swaps like these. I just cannot see throwing away, even into recycling, such beautiful cards that many friends send. I get to keep enjoying them all year long this was! Happy Christmas in July!

Comment: You need to quit being so hard on yourself Peggy. I like your ATC & what you did. Thank you for the cool papers for me to use.
Response: OK, OK--but this technique really did take several tries and only partially worked on the version I ended up sending. I think that when I get it really right, that it will be a technique I like very much. My partner sent a beautiful one, but she too, was on her third attempt! Thanks for your kind comments--I did enjoy playing with the technique even though it aggravated me with each attempt not fully melting the clear emboss. I am not sure how to tell when the embossing powder is just barely melted and it's time to use the black paint. On my first attempt, I clearly used way too much paint. That was easy to adjust--getting the just right cut off for heating the powder is the challenge in this technique! Thanks for rating and for the heart--hope you haven't been terribly hot and humid. My brother in far north Wisconsin has be hot and humid for several days, but then a rainy, cool front came through and improved both elements. In Houston, an afternoon thunder storm is quite typical in small areas and only serves to add more humidity when the sun is back out on all that moisture! Oh, how I love Texas in the summer . . . NOT!

Comment: Thanks for the wonderful card! Today we had much rain, but it wasn't too bad :-)
Response: You are welcome--sorry to be late in responding, but as you'll see in my profile, I am on partial "hiatus" from Swap-Bot in order to work on getting my art supplies re-organized and attractively stored. Then I'm going through all my kitchen cupboards to clean and organize them. After that I'm taking it one room at a time to super clean my home after 3 years of hand arthritis and carpal tunnel surgery and two total knee replacement surgeries. Hubby is good in kitchen and with laundry, but he doesn't have a clue about cleaning! I do love him lots anyway! Thanks for rating and for adding a heart to that rating!

Comment: I love the tags! They are adorable. The whole package was great and I love that you explained how making them all came together for you. I think it's exciting when I come across the perfect embellishment or image that takes on it's own life and inspires me to put together something I may have been saving for the right project.I think that's why I love collage so much. Thanks for the special tags! :)
Response: I am SO happy that you like the tags as I really enjoyed making them--as I explained. I really find it amazing how one small item can trigger an idea for an entire tag or ATC, etc. I guess that's the serendipity of art! Thanks for rating and for the wonderful heart as well!

Comment: Thank you Peggy for another wonderful poetry postcard! I love the poem you chose, and your right we do all need more fun things in our day and that poem really made me smile. It definitely brightened my day up! Love the "pithy" quote as well! Thanks again! :)
Response: You are most welcome! I just read this poem along with several others, but always came back to the humor of this one--it is just plain FUN, and most poetry is darker and more serious. I'm not very familiar with Noyes, but i'll always remember this poem! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thanks for rating and for adding a precious heart, too!

Do remember that I've been working with Tim's products and techniques for over 5 years, took his online Creative Chemistry 1 class, and had a weekend of four classes taught by Tim himself! I've also learned from You Tube videos and from others who are far better than I. I've learned so much from swappers here over the last 3.5 years as well. Thanks for the added heart!

Response: You are most welcome, Donetta--I too am growing very fond of of BTCs especially because they can be done beyond the edges which I'm beginning to find very challenging with ATCs once getting a taste of it on the BTCs!

Comment: This is one of the most amazing swaps! My gosh, you are so very talented... These are perfection... This is the second time today I've received the quote" enjoy the journey". I just got back from one! At the beach! Both of these struck a special chord... Thank you for the extras and for these amazingly beautiful tags!
Response: Kathryn, you are quite welcome and thank you for your comments about my work and talent as I often wonder whether I'm really making something wonderful to eyes other than my own since I have had no art training of any sort. I'm actually beginning to have the courage to take a Continuing Ed art class at a nearby community college. So far I have been too intimidated by fears of not being anywhere near able to draw or paint and feeling ridiculously exposed to everyone in the class! :-) I'll eventually gain enough courage perhaps. Thanks for the encouragement and the heart!.

Comment: Gorgeous!!!! Oh I can see why this was so hard to let loose. I love it Peggy, every itty bitty part of it. Thank you so very much. I am glad you enjoyed making it and also that you want to make more. You have such talent. XXX
Response: Sheryl, thanks so much for your kind words! Oh how much I love making these things and learn so many things with every item I create. Your appreciation and encouragement have played a big role in my growing creativity and confidence because you make beauty happen! I haven't been creating for a few days because of computer hacker problems and reorganizing my art room space yet again. It improves with each version so maybe I'll get it right soon and keep it that way! I have to share space with my literature books which are the other art I delight in, so I cannot expand much more. Please host another key altering swap!!!! Thanks for the heart also!

Response: You are most welcome--I am glad that you like the card; it was made from a Christmas card that I recycled into a postcard. I can see why you would not like that kind of winter--miserable on a bicycle. Snow would be much easier and pretty as well! Thanks for rating and for the lovely heart!

Comment: Hi Peggy, poetry is a new-to-me interest. I am trying to expose myself to more poetry beyond TS Eliot, whom I've always loved. My recent love is Galway Kinnell. Thanks for being so kind to say GMH can be a challenge ... because this one is not something that exactly flows for me at this time. Thanks for a great swap!
Response: You are welcome--poetry is always a challenge, I think, but it grew easier to understand as I grew older--my theory is we may need more of life experiences to understand the life experience sometimes expressed in a poem. Just a theory of mine--LOL Hopkins's use of sound, especially alliteration and assonance is beautiful to the ear, even when I'm not sure what he's trying to say. You need a dictionary to check word meanings and the ability to figure out the words that may be missing in a line or phrase because of his "condensing and use of fragments of thought strung together.If you haven't already, take a look at The Poetry Foundation sight. It has the poems, poets's biographies, recordings of the poems, and usually some discussion of the poem's meaning. I used it a LOT for teaching my online literature classes. Keep trying to decode poems--the skill evolves with practice. Mainly just have fun with the sound if nothing else. Thanks for the wonderful heart!

Response: You are welcome--I'm happy that you like the ATC. B-r-r-r---2 degrees is COLD! I miss winter here in Houston, but not the times when it is that cold. Still, I find snow so beautiful! Thanks for rating and for the heart! Keep safe and warm!

Response: You are most welcome--and yes, it came close to Tim's this time but I always think that even when one has almost the same supplies, one leaves a touch that somehow makes it that individual's tag, not just Tim's.

Response: You are most welcome, Pat, and thanks for the kind words about the design of the ATC as I've had absolutely no art training of any sort and have just set out to learn from others and from Tim Holtz's classes and books and other books as well. I am so delighted that I finally figured out where I had put the box of my mother's old music when we moved here 21 years ago. It is full of treasures to use as I doubt my kids will be interested in it--except possibly for my daughter who got me into this whole paper art thing! Thanks for the lovely heart!

I really enjoyed the holiday creations, but once I put away my tree and other decorations, I was ready to go on to something else. I do LOVE Christmas though. Have a wonderful new year! Thanks for the heart

Response: I am so happy that you like the framed inchies. As I think I mentioned in my note, I've had that frame for at least a year and still hadn't found "just the right" thing to use it. These inchies just seemed perfect for it. And you can swap it around an use it to display other inchies and then back the the holiday inchies in Decembers. Have a happy New Year!

Response: I am happy that you like the ATC--the blue background paper was enhanced with Lindy's Glitz Spritz and my own spray mix of water and Perfect Pearls. Those are what made it shimmery.

Comment: Loved the shimmery effect that you achieved with this technique. Thank you
Response: You a most welcome. The shimmery effect came from adding a bit of Alcohol Mixatives--using either silver or copper, probably silver. They work just like alcohol inks and are terrific for making anything look metallic or just a little bit shimmery when added to usual process of using alcohol inks. I hope you find some and try it as I love the effects I can get, and the results are always a little different depending on the quantity used and the surface or medium I'm using with the inks. I am so happy you liked the ATC. Happy creating!.

The first blending I learned to do with his distress inks was with browns, so I am always best when using browns! I love nearly all of his designs, but this stamp set is still a favorite and I've had it for some time now. I am happy that you enjoyed the ATC. Thanks to you for the generous heart!

Comment: I'm so glad you've started the alphabet rolo swaps, and that I was your partner to send to! What wonderful art you've sent for me to enjoy. Thank you for your note, too - your daughter is lucky (I tried for years to get work with the school board, so I could have summers off). Axel is wonderful, thanks for asking - I get him every Thursday (until the middle of October, anyway). He makes us laugh and laugh.
Response: You are welcome; I happy that you like the items I created--I always enjoy making every item. Enjoy your time with Axel; we certainly enjoy days with our Nate and Rissa. They do make us laugh, don't they? And laughter is very good for us; I don't think adults laugh often enough the way children do. We need to try to catch up with them! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Oh, wow! Big smiles! My ballerina is just wonderful. I love how you so creatively did her hair. :) Thanks much! Now to keep her away from my granddaughter....
Response: You are so welcome! I didn't easily figure out how to handle the hair! It was sheer coincidence as the braid trim was out on my work area and I began fiddling with it and decided to see if it would get the effect I was wanting and there it was--working! My granddaughter saw her in rough form, just assembled and she picked it up with great curiosity! If I could get one cut from chipboard I'd make her one, but my hands will never do that!Thanks for rating and for the heart!

Response: I am so glad you like the ATC. After reading your profile, I just went and pulled that stamp off the shelf and then started deciding how to fit it into some orderly design. I pray that you will enjoy the best moments and step back and gain perspective in the not-so-wonderful moments. But it's much easier to see that in my grandparenting than I could as a parent.

Response: You are most welcome and I'm always pleased when my partner likes what I create---I love working with "real" vintage things whenever possible. What some friends thing is junk, I see as a perfect addition to some kind of tag or ATC! Many swappers see vintage as the 60s- 70's and that's when I grew up, went to college and had my first child! That diversity of age and interests is part of what I like about Swap-bot and the people we get to "meet"! Have a good week!

I wish you all the best with your goals and your health, best wishes, Betty
Response: Betty, I was hoping it would be arriving pretty soon; if not I'd be contacting you and beginning a new one! It was fun to do except for the first few days that I was writing from brief notes I'd jotted down when not doing the swap correctly. My primary care Dr, is trying to get my thyroid adjusted---I've been on thyroid replacement since I was about 24 years old--I am hypothyroid--body doesn't produce enough. When it is lower people gain weigh (just what I need!) and is also putting me on iodine med for that. It was only 40 on blood test results and should be between 52 and 109!. I am thinking more and more that all these hormones need to get regulated before my body can really lose weight unless I virtually starve myself which is also unhealthy! Any way, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks SO-O-O-O much for your patience! Peggy

Most are scrapbookers, so they are always intrigued by my ATCs, and twinchies, etc. Feel free to copy the techniques--we all learn from each other as well as trial and error!

Comment: This ATC is absolutely adorable and really unique. Thanks so much. Thank you for the extras too.
Response: You are so welcome--the little girl reminds me of our Rissa who SO loves to serve tea to me and even to hubby once--we have a small collection of tea sets from antique shops, and she loves looking at them and wants to use them rather than the plastic set I got her to have at our house.

We have an "invalid" china set that was her great grandmother's; when she is older it will be hers. She wants to play with it so much but that one needs to wait a while. Thanks for the heart!

Response: You are most welcome! I especially had fun making that tag so I'm glad you like it. The stamp is from LaBranche that I find online in various places. They look different--all white but mounted like wooden stamp,They make great images. My replaced knee is healing beautifully and now really makes me know how much the left one hurts Plans are to do left one at end of August. COFFEE is a definite plan we need to make!

Comment: Oh Peggy, what a wonderful envelope to open! Such a beautiful ATC...no worries, I think "retro" is open to interpretation, and so is "vintage"! love it, and those gorgeous extra papers are to die for. Just amazing...thank you so much!
Response: You are welcome, Donetta--I sure did the tag thinking "vintage" rather than "Retro" until I was looking up info to put on the back label, so I am glad you enjoyed it. Have fun with the papers--I have lots more to share. I wonder if some of them may be left over wall paper but not sure. Anyway, I'm going to have fun finding ways to work with them. Have a great week!--Thanks for the heart!

I too have a LOT of old magazine but no matter how many I have I still use the images very sparingly. Who knows when you will run out?! That's what I tell the hubs when I keep buying more. I preparing for retirement...LOL! Anyway, your ATC is fabulous and so well put together. It will be on display in my craft room post haste! Thanks!
Response: I am happy that you like it as I enjoyed the process of starting with the ad and background paper and it just evolved as I started working--hadn't planned pocket but it suddenly seemed a great ideas. I am honored by your kind words.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely ATC, Peggy. It's very vintage looking! I love the phone image. Thanks, too, for the newsy note; it was interesting to hear about your growing-up experiences.
Response: You are quite welcome--when I saw this swap, I knew I was joining it for certain as it stirred up memories of the first phone I remember and that first indoor full bathroom! It was first house that had water connections to more than a kitchen sink. The little Nebraska town we were close to boasted 360 pop. In 7th grade, we had three in our class, including me! Now I have an amazing home in the country's 4th largest city! Education can take one anywhere they wish to go if they take that education seriously! Teaching students who lacked that spark is one reason I chose to retire--not to mention the buy-out the college offered after we had made our retirement decisions! I am very afraid of what our educational system is doing to our nation! On a less serious note, hope you are having a splendid day!

Hope you are keeping warm wherever you are--it has been a windy 40 degrees day even here in Houston. This year I'm getting some real winter kind of weather which I love.

Comment: Hi Peggy. It has been so long since I have heard from you. What a great surprise to receive such a lovely card you made and beautiful ATC. I thank you so much for sharing images you have from the 1930's. WOW how special!! Your atc is adorable and it reminds me actually of when I was a little girl playing with my rabbits. Thank you again for such a lovely envie of prettiness!!
Response: Ah, that was sheer chance--that you had rabbits when you were a child! I thought at first it was a cat which would have been me as a child--and to this day. It has been a while since we swapped with each other; I was "off the grid" for a while before and after my right knee replacement on Dec 31--what a spectacular New Year's Eve that was! The magazines from the 1930s and from the 1800's were found on Ebay and are not that expensive. The Etude magazines were from my mother and here sisters in the 1930s. Have a great week!

Response: Thank you for your kind words and for the heart as well. How are you doing? Must be getting better fast since your Thursday only a few days ago, right? ! My pre-op with Dr Siff is Jan. 10 and surgery is on Jan. 18. I can barely get out of a chair or off of the commode! LOL Both knees are equally painful--which makes it worse. I am calling today to see if he can do a steroid injection in the left knee even if we have to wait until closer to surgery so that "good" knee may be a bit less painful for rehab since in the rehab I know will involve reliance on the good leg, and as one of my worst students might say,"I ain't got one of those." I had forgotten that you were an English teacher; I often used that passage to discuss difference between metaphor and simile. Have a blessed Halloween!

Hopkins also omits some words you have to fill in, but the richest beauty is in the unusual rhythm and sound.Also knowing that the minion (ruler) refers to Christ helps. Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Good job-you did a great job on the atc whether you thought it was right or not! When I sent mine to my partner I was confused and sent it two different ways hoping one would be the right one!!! Oh well-it was fun and always good to get something from you-thanks for all the great extras!
Response: You are most welcome, Georgia. I was confused as well--I think I should look for some You Tube videos explaining the technique so I know for sure what the results should be. It was fun to experiment! Thanks for the heart!

Response: You are more than welcome! I had a hard time getting started as I love color so much and had to stay with black! Went to my old stand-by trick of "digging through my stuff" and hit on the Carpe Diem die cuts someone included in a swap. I'd totally forgotten them! That triggered the whole card instantly.

I'm so glad it arrived safely and that I didn't goof up and forget to rate! ETA: no need to resend. Really!
Response: I am SO happy that it arrived! I apologize about the squishing of the squished rose--I can send another and try to wrap it better. I really thought it would be OK--Live and learn, right? Have a great Friday! Thanks for the heart in spite or the squishing problem!

Response: Thank you very much, Jbeth! The card just slowly evolved as I dug through my stashes of ephemera and supplies. When I landed on the perfect metal piece with red "gem," it just fell together. Don't know where I found that item, but I think it may come from Alpha Stamps online.

I'd like to know what its value is now but would never part with it! We lived on a farm in a very isolated, rural area in Nebraska. It sat untuned for months (matter of $$ and finding piano tuner) but I still started teaching myself with a little help from mother. It probably is the reason I cannot sing on key at alll! LOL

Response: You are most welcome and I'm so happy that you liked them. I'd held on to several small and a few larger left over pieces of paper from a Button Farm recipe album kit. I loved the paper and was certain I'd eventually find good use for the scraps! I'm getting some respite for both knees because by RA flared in lymph glads and mouth sores, so rheumatologist put me on a prednison 6 day dose pack. I have never had those symtoms before, but the steroid has helped those problems and reduce inflammation everywhere in my body, a blessed little respite--I have 3 yr old granddaughter and got out to bargains at JoAnns and to community pool with such ease. It won't last long but feels good. Enjoy your week-end!

Comment: It's well worth it thanks hope things are getting better for you and yours I loved the little truck
Response: I am so glad you like it--I had a grand time deciding what to put where and how to secure it. The truck was a freeby along with one of the Tim classes I took; he provides so much ephemera for us to use on a shadow box--the one you can rearrange the boxes as you wish. I had three cars but none fit my configuration of the boxes. So I held onto them to use eventually. I had one heck of a time getting that truck to stay is place! Apparantly, my last attemp with using heat gun to warm the metal enough that the hot glue would stay warm enough until I got the car in place. Tim had us use tip of glue gun to warm metal for hot glue, but it wasn't working, so I tried the glue gun and got success. Now I can say I improved upon a Tim Holtz idea, can't I? Thanks for the heart!

I will eventually build up the courage--I HOPE! I appeciate the heart and hope my little mallard truly earned it!

Comment: Your tag came in a nick of time!! LOL! We are moving this week and it just arrived. I love the colors and the design and will be adding it to my art board of Inspiration!! All the best to you and hopefully once I have my new studio up,organized and ready to craft we can do a few private swaps, I love also doing art pages 4x6, postcards and chunky books! Have a great summer and keep in touch!! ;)
Response: Thanks for your kind words and you are most welcome. These tags are always so much fun to make. Hope your move goes smoothly--sure am glad I am not moving! I'm probably having knee replacement surgery in about three months. Need both knees done but I guess one at a time is the best plan based on doctor visit this morning. We may be able to keep the other one from causing so much pain by using Synvisc for it while having the surgery for the other one. I'd love some private swaps when you get settled in!

Response: You are most welcome.The paper is from photos of Arts and Crafts of Thailand.

Comment: Thank you for lovely ATC and papers!!! I loved your artsy envelope too! I appreciate your note . how funny I am your partner for collaged masterboard I just looked ;-)
Response: You are most welcome--I was hoping the ATC would be a good choice for you. I've been getting lots of ATC size papers lately which I love, but I have a huge paper stash, more than half of which is donations from my daughter and one of her friends. I've added new pads and singles for my Tim Holtz thing and Theresa Collins, etc, but really don't need paper so I send the prettiest ones I can part with and share just to keep them moving until someone ultimately can use them. Have a good wee-end. I'll be looking forward to the collaged masterboard which I haven't even begun! Wouldn't it be funny if you are my partner for that swap? Health problems have slowed me down far too much. But the art projects are better than narcotic pain relievers!

Anyway-I really like the vintage things you put on the rolo-of course you know I like Aqua-so thank you thank you and I hope my table never gets that messy again-now that I have retired and all-Happy swapping dear friend!
Response: You most welcome and I'm happy that you like it. Yes, I have several SB friends who are fond of aqua--especially combined with red. I couldn't see it at first and then the color combination has become one i like and use rather often.I'm glad you have the dining room table cleaned off. Am I understanding correctly that you have just retired? If so, I think you will love it! For us, RETIREMENT ROCKS! Take care!

Thanks also for the lovely extras...I am a paper fanatic, and happily accept all donations! And the tapestry yarn...every time I use it, I'll think of you, and by default your adored mother-in-law. It seems as if you were both very lucky to have been brought together by one special man. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Response: You are most welcome and thank you for the beautiful words about my ATC--you and others are slowly beginning to convince me I AM an artist (at least becoming one). Between that and my insatiable need to read and learn and even thinking (????) that I will try a Continuing Ed art course are making me more comfortable with my work. I know I've grown from all of your here on Swap-Bot Do enjoy the tapestry yarn as she would want you to do so. Have a beautiful week-end!

Comment: Thanks for the cool tag and extras. (I loved the wooden tokens!) Your dragon fly turned out very nice.
Response: You are welcome, as always. I "inherited"bunches of the wooden items from my daughter's friend who gave me tons of her stash that she was getting rid of. Between her and my daughter, I got started with very few $$ and then started building my stash which is now consuming a whole room which is set aside just for paper and mixed media art---and my literature collection. But the room has two entire walls of floor to ceiling shelves and a huge china cabinet which makes a beautiful book case. The closet is also FULL of supplies. I am happy you like the dragon--I was really stumped there for a while because I had neither the stamp nor the plastic. They I recalled a huge dragonfly 3-d sticker I got from the JoAnns $1 bin--but did I have one left?? YES! Did the little pads keep the wings lifted even through the mail? That was a concern, but had no other ideas. Enjoy your week-end! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: I love the postcard. It won't go anywhere, I plan to keep it for myself. Thank you so much. Your letter was very interesting. I'm not much of a letter writer, but might give it a try!
Response: You are welcome and I just happy that it is something you like. I have a few cards I like too much to use and keep them displayed somewhere on a shelf if there's room in my art studio--lots of shelves but full mostly! I need to just create a binder or something like that to store them and browse through them occasionally. Don't worry about letter writing! I'm a retired English prof who taught writing classes, so when I start writing it can go one for pages! But BE SURE NOT to let that fact make you afraid to write me---I just enjoy meeting people and learning about their lives. I'm RETIRED and have no need to score anyone's writing ever again. That was only part of the job I disliked! Enjoy the week-end! We are having beautifully cool weather for May in Houston--set record low this a.m. Hope to swap with you again soon!!

It is a small world in many ways--one of my first swaps went to a woman in Iowa about 10 miles from the town where I went to high school!

Response: I am happy that you liked it and thanks for the heart. The background is SO easy. Take two pieces of GLOSSY card stock and a piece of waxed paper a bit larger than them. Crumple up the waxed paper and open out, smoothing just a bit. Place waxed paper between the two pieces of cardstock--glossy sides facing each other. Iron over the three layers with medium heat and NO steam. The crinkles in waxed paper make was resist in several patterns. Ink over the treated glossy card stock with your color of choice. So easy and amazing, unique background paper! Give it a try!

Another LONG hot summer--wish we could move north but hubby is native Houstonian, and we have some of his family that we really need to help with caregiving. Our kids are in Dallas and Chicago. No grandchildren coming from Dallas and son in Chicago area is single. If he has kiddos, I will have to move or make a lot of flights to Chicago.

I LOVE using them--much cheaper than self-adhesive pearl "bling" and comes in numerous colors.I'm glad you will be able to use the Rolo and buttons. One of my paper art friends is certain she and the rest of our group need to do an "intervention" for my addiction to collecting buttons! LOL I had MANY from my sewing days when home with my children, and then I discovered them by the "ton," on EBay Where do you get the pretty papers Rolos that already have the holes so cleanly made? I have to try mine with cutting knives and scissors and don't get nearly the perfect cuts yours have. Do you find them online or in hobby shop? Thank you very much! OR is it a punch? That would be wonderful as it would work for any Rolo size!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Thank you for the nice card. I read the swap as needing multiple shades of blue but I liked the the card you made in baby blue and gold. The perfect pearls on the flowers were beautiful and it will make a lovely gift card!
Response: OOOOPS! I guess I missed the multiple shades of blue and was thinking only in terms of blue as the main color. I AM MORE THAN HAPPY to make another that is in shades of blue. I will get it to you as soon as I can without falling behind on other swap deadlines. I do apologize--one more bit of evidence that I am human! LOL Have a good week!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful ATC. Don't worry about it being brown -- it reminds me of the dirt in my springtime gardens (one of my favorite things!) You found some great wooden embellishments to use and that background is really interesting. The extra gardening embellishments are beautiful -- I will be using them in my scrapbooks. Thanks for everything! <3<3<3
Response: You are very welcome--as always, I had fun creating the ATC. I did regret mistaking it for the all brown project for the swap but am happy you like it. The wooden embellishments are from a huge box of buttons I found cheap on Ebay. Because they fit in one of the flat rate mailing boxes, shipping was not expensive. If I remember correctly, the background was done with Distress inks spritzed with water into which I dipped the paper until I got just the swirl and drizzle effect I wanted. I'd have to look up the photo I always take of swap items to be certain. Enjoy the week-end and a special thanks for the heart!

Comment: Hi, Peggy! Thank you for the gorgeous rolo and the lovely letter, too. The Emily Dickinson quotation on the envelope is one of my favorites, too! All around a very lovely swap to receive. We're still getting bits of snow here. There's a yard on my way to work that is covered in crocuses every Spring. I keep looking it at hoping to see a sign of them. No flowers yet--at least not ones I can see from my car. Soon, though!
Response: You are very welcome--I'm happy you liked the ATC--had fun making it as always. That Dickinson quote is one I used over and over to teach the concept of metaphors to my Intro to Lit classes. I really miss crocus-actually all spring bulbs. We CAN plant tulips and daffodils but have to chill them in refridge for several weeks since our ground stays to warn. And they do not naturalize and return the next spring. They have to be annuals here. The other signs of spring I miss are forsythia and pussy willows---just love those! Hope you see the crocus before much longer!

Comment: Oh Peggy, she is beautiful! It was very thoughtful of you to include the fabric as well.....love it all, great swap. Thank you so very much!
Response: The THANK YOU definitely goes to YOU for giving me time to re-create this on an artist's canvas board--I totally missed that info in my first creation I sent you. I did think that I created a better second version/re-creation of the original. Some of that was because of the strong base provided by the artist canvas board. I also had new supplies available that I didn't have when I made the first faulty version. I think I learned several things from doing it over that will help me in creating future mixed media creations! Thank you for letting me re-do this swap--you did not have to let me do so!! I fully appreciate that generosity! Thanks for the heart--when it was a re-do! I love the fabric--comes from Fabric.com and is not expensive at all. I'm anxious to start using it more often in my mixed media creations. Appreciatively, PeggyO

Response: You are more than welcome--as always, I had a great time making this and the Feb. tag. I did one and packaged it before going to next swap and then was amused that it was also for you! I do think that my creativity is stimulated when I don't have every thing Tim uses for a tag. i had everything for the Jan tag which made it faster to make but it was imitating and not creatively challenging. I learn more skills when I have to improvise. Have a good week-end when it gets here!

Comment: I really like the atcs you sent me- however I don't think we were suppose to put anything covering the back as then it ruins the stained glass effect- but I don't believe there was any guidelines on that so maybe next time you make them you can keep that in mind :) I carefully peeled them off so that I could tape it to my window :D I love the extra goodies you sent me!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send me something special! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Comment: awesome stuff! I especially love the map papers. A warning, though--did you use the automated postage center? It arrived 57 cents postage due. Not enough to matter, but enough to be wary of the machine for next time.

Makes me wonder if it has happened to others who just haven't mentioned it. May have to stop using it! Thanks for letting me know and for the heart in spite of the postage due! Have a good weekend!!

Actually, I have been doing those techniques for years--thanks to my daughters and her friends and to my taking Tim's Chem 101 online class and attending his week-end of classes in April 2012 with daughter and friends. He is amazing in person--humble and personable--seems genuine, but I could be missing something. Anyway, I prefer to believe he's genuine! Have a great rest of the week!

Comment: Another stunning ATC...you're spoiling me! Such a gorgeously embellished beachy scene...and the buttons! I also have quite a button addiction; I don't think I can ever have enough! (Okay, that sounds like a disorder...but if it is, then I don't want to be cured!)
Response: You are so welcome and flattering! I just have so much fun making paper and altered art of all kinds. I thought I spend most of my time sewing when we retired but mainly it has been the paper arts--some of that may be caused by my hand problems and hip problems. I need more hand strength for sewing and have to get up and down to sew, press, stitch, press, etc. which is good.My hands have the strength to do the machine sewing but hurt when I use them that way. The paper and altered arts are lighter and I can do them with either hand. When I had the right hand surgery last summer, I thought I'd try scissors with left hand (thinking I was crazy) and cut right along the lines as easy as can be. I wish I'd known all my life that I am somewhat ambidextrous--my maternal grandfather definitely so. Must have a few of his genes. Well, back to creating--looking forward to "spoiling" you again in a swap soon! Have a good week!

Response: You are most welcome--I enjoyed making the Rolo! Dr visit went OK--scheduled the trigger thumb repair for Jan. 16--should be a 2 week recovery at most--hope he's right. The lumbar spine injection is put off until the thumb surgery is out of the way. Then we will decide whether to do that injection. Enjoy the rest of the week-end!!

Comment: Thankyou peggy for the lovely photo of Thomas, he is a beautiful cat, Cats are funny they seem to know when you come home. I have a grandson called Thomas, cats are my favourite animal. have a very happy new year, and Meow to Thomas, love jennifer.
Response: You are most welcome--I sure miss that Thomas yet today. He was my first totally inside cat which I'm sure is why he lived so long. I was used to being greeted with great excitement from dogs, but never from cats; but he came running the moment I put the key in the door, and then as I think I wrote, he'd wait at the door, meowing pathetically until I came home from teaching my night class. And for his entire life he slept beside me as if he were a teddy bear. He was just what I needed --I was going through a divorce with passive aggressive spouse and matching attorney. Thomas's unconditional love and attention got me through some difficult nights and week-end days! Have a great week-end!

Comment: Just beautiful, as always...and the bit from your college French dictionary is priceless! Your embellishment skills are TDF (to die for)...thanks for being such a great swap partner!
Response: Your flattery will get you everything! :-) I do LOVE working with the embellishments--getting most of them on EBay for much less that hobby stores. That old dictionary got a good workout the term when I took that sophomore French lit class--I was the only non-French major, so the prof was a little gentler in grading the essays I wrote. Thought it was going to be my first C ever for a class,but squeaked by with a B! None of that, however, should suggest that I'm a bit of a perfectionist, right? Have a great week!

Response: Thank you Jackie-- and you are welcome. Did I get the background technique done correctly? I was not completely happy with what I got--on my 3rd try but had to send them to meet deadline.

I know you can use the items I sent--getting amazing bargains on buttons, old games, vintage keys, etc. on EBay lately--makes Tim Holtz on a budget--and they are authentic ephemera as well!

Response: I'm happy you enjoyed them--the cookies are easy and delicious, definitely my father's favorite cooking all year round. We started making it look like Christmas by rolling ball of dough in red and / or green sprinkle sugars. They are a crisp but chewy cookie! Have a blessed holiday season!

Response: You are welcome--for my first rolo I was pretty much happy with the finished product, but I want to keep stretching my skills and creativity for more rolos and other items. I LOVE buttons and have a zillion from cheap, huge packages of them on EBay! Take care!

Response: You are most welcome, and I'm so happy that you liked what I created and sent. I always fun with every swap--making it and if possible adding just a little something that fits my partner's profile. I cannot always do so and do not do it for bonus rating---It's just that it is fun to give someone an item they like. For me that's the best part of Christmas. My family is always making me open my packages when I'd prefer watching to see their response to something I chose because I thought it would make them happy! Giving is part of what I love about Swap-Bot! Have a good week!

What a joy. Loved the verse you picked as well. Keep plugging away on your surgery recovery ok? Hugs in Christ, Susan
Response: You are most welcome--I enjoyed making each item. Thanks for the encouragement for my hand recovery; it is taking so long and the hip tendinitis that began about a month ago has made things worse. Hugs back to you as well!

Response: You are most welcome--I enjoyed making the card for you--thats what I love here on Swap Bot--being able to at least try to create something your partner will enjoy receiving. That verse made a world of difference in my life, and my mother asked how I was able to sleep alone at night after my father died. I shared that verse with her but never really knew if she claimed it for herself or not. I was paralyzed and sleepless for so many weeks until I claimed that verse in prayer and totally conquered that fear! God is AMAZING ISN'T HE? Thanks for adding the heart as well!

Comment: Thank you so much for the ATC, especially as you used my favorite color- purple! I am torn between whether I like the paper flower or the super-fascinating silver jewelry accent (at least it looks like it might have been jewelry). I also like to use "real" items in my work and have a huge love of vintage, rusty, old dirty items. I also appreciate your willingness to share some of your accumulated goodies with me! Thanks again for everything...
Response: You are more than welcome--the jewelry is "dismembered" from a vintage necklace I found at a flea market/antique shop just 5 minutes from my house. If I'm remembering correctly, I probably sent you some rusty old keys, right? I bought a FULL old cigar box full of keys for about $20 on Ebay--really beats the price for Tim Holtz key packets and are more genuine vintage! I'm bidding on some more keys and some buttons as well. At the prices there, I can afford Tim Holtz style on a low budget and have items to share with Swap-Bot partners that I could not afford otherwise. I do TIM on a BUDGET and love it! Have a great week--tomorrow is Hump Day--only two more days until the week-end! I'm retired now, and every day is like a Saturday--except I don't have student essays to grade on those "Saturdays"--I was an English prof at a community college, teaching freshman composition most of the time! Miss the classroom and SOME students but not those huge stacks of essays to read and score!

The retreat was great--and yes, more talk than crafting--but that's part of the going for me.

Thanks for the postcards, other goodies also, and note. Student teaching and classes are going great, but I do wish I had more creative time. Next year.
Response: I'm pleased you like the bird--he evolved gradually and had me a bit stumped at first. Then I remembered the Ranger Liquid Pearls I hadn't tried yet and decided to give them a go even if I had to ditch it all and start over. But I began liking the look I was getting and finished it. I understand not having creative time--I felt the same way before I retired!

Comment: Ah, Peggy...I can see why you like this technique so much...you made a beautiful ATC! Mine, on the other hand...not so much. What did you do differently? What did I fail to do? And using an embossing folder after colorizing the paper is genius. You are going straight to my "super swapper" list! (Great extras, too...thank you so, so much!)
Response: You are most welcome! I don't know exactly what I did different, but this was a new technique for me and I'm liking it. The use of embossing folder comes from a Tim style class at a local scrapbooking shop a year or so ago. I did gain many skills and techniques from Tim himself at four week-end classes I attended in the Dallas area last April and from his online Chemistry 101 class I did last March, I think it was. Don't give up--just have fun practicing and experimenting!

Comment: What a wonderful ATC, So glad to hear your hand surgery went well, and the house decorating sounds wonderful! We're going to get started painting this weekend. Lived in our house for 20 years and it's feeling stale., no pzazz, We are starting with my daughters room as she is moving home. A lite teal + accent color.
Response: You are most welcome--as always, I had fun creating it! We, too, had changed only the dining room color in nearly 20 years--I was finding what really was pretty at the time but is now lacking that zing/pzazz! I'm SO happy the way our color choices work so well together. I'd never done more than choose a color for one room, so coordinating every room successfully was quite a challenge. The Sherwin-Williams designer (free) changed our main color to a much bolder, deeper golden yellow, and then everything easily fell into place! Ron should be finished by tomorrow!

I absolutely love that bookmarker, the saying is wonderful! Not sure how you did the butterflies and leaves ~ they are gorgeous. Thank you so much! (And I am right behind you with my hands, I am putting it off and trying a shot first. If that doesn't work ~ surgery! UGH!)
Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed it--obviously it was fun for me! As for the hands--injections worked for me for at least 6 years or more. The left thumb just started presenting symptoms last winter and has responded wonderfully to two injections. The surgery is not as hard as expected initially, but full healing and physical therapy take MUCH longer--I'm at 10 weeks and just getting minor physical therapy with strengthening work not started for another month!. Therapist keeps saying that I WILL be glad I did the surgery and that I should notice significant improvement when I get past the third month. Take care! PeggyO

He is amazing and just an"ordinary" person who considered all of us in the classes as the same sort of artists that he is! I'm hoping to get to at least one more class when he comes to the Dallas area because I can get FREE bed and board at my daughter's and join her and her paper art friends who have become MY paper art friends also. I'm just known as MOM to her friends and my son's friends as well in Manhattan, KS. I always wanted lots of kids but could only have two, so all their friends who call me "MOM" add up to a large number of "kids"! I'm HAPPY!

Comment: Thank you for the very special ATC. Thanks a lot for the wonderful note. I am sorry about your parents. It is a terrible disease. I am thankful that I can spend this time with my parents.
Response: I'm glad you like it--I always have fun making ATCs! Yes, dementia is a cruel disease and being 1000 miles away makes it difficult. I am constantly doing brain-building games and activities such as getting back my ability to read French, etc. since research says that active learning and use of brain seems to be a significant preventive for any form of dementia. I do fear that it is genetic, but have to focus on keeping body and brain in best condition possible. The rest is in God's hands, and He is always with me! Have a good week!--PeggyO

I'll be keeping watch on Swap-Bot and will begin joining new swaps as soon as I'm allowed that kind of use of my hand. Have a great 4th of July holiday!

Comment: lovely swap thankyou i love the extras and my dress is so pretty
Response: You are most welcome--this was my first creation of this type and had fun with it. I think I'm making more to use as a banner in my paper craft studio--a real luxury to have! I have a room just for that and another, much larger, for my sewing studio! I am blessed with the space--seems much bigger than the two of us need, but we use every room every week! Have a great week-and an even better week-end!

Response: You are most welcome--the swap fun is in knowing I made something my partner truly enjoyed. Hibiscus plants grow so easily here in the Houston area whether in blazing sun by a pool at one house where I lived or in a part sunny and part shady yard or deck. The one I photographed for the ATC in one our deck and has been blooming its heart out for weeks! Have a great week-end! PeggyO

Response: You are most welcome! I'm glad the items I chose were just right for you. That's the most fun part of Swap-Bot for me: reading a profile and trying as best I can to send items that clearly match that profile. Giving the "just right" item is far more delightful that receiving such an item!

Response: You are more than welcome--when it comes to Tim Holtz, I am in heaven with his products, techniques, and creations. I was lucky enough to join my daughter and her paper crafting friends to attend his four week-end classes in the Dallas area late in April. It was an AMAZING experience! He is so friendly and personable and down to earth--not at all arrogant artist type! I have autographed apron, name tag, and vol. 2 of Compendium of Curiosities, and a photo of me with him! I'll keep all of them forever!

Response: I happy they enjoyed them--I had fun picking out items. The water balloons were easy, and in retrospect, I should have sent 3 mice packets so they all have three. I may still do that since I think I'm going back to get the mice for my Nathaniel. Have a great new week as it begins tomorrow. I hope we end up partners in another swap sometime! PeggyO

Response: You are so welcome--it's the time making items that is the best part of Swap-Bot! Well, getting all the surprises in the mail is great as well, but enjoying the art and thinking of ways to match the receiver's profile info is special. It's like Christmas--I like most of all to watch others open their gifts to enjoy the delight in their faces. My family always stops and makes me open a couple packages instead of watching them! God grant you a blessed week!

Comment: i love the mail art! thank you so much. how do you get the stamps to be all puffy like?! please share, i'm new to tim holtz! thank you for your letter, as well. i hope you get to go to his work shop. i don't think you'd have to deal with taxes & such like that if you sold on etsy - i think you only have to do that if you make over a certain amount - like thousands of dollars or something a year - i sell on etsy, only washi tapes but i plan on selling some of my handcarved stamps, too - but who knows. i will def. be hosting another TH mail art swap so keep a look out!!
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the items! I so love Tim's techniques and supplies and have learned most of what I do from my daughter and her crop group in the Dallas area--they've been to two of his week-end sessions in Dallas. I also watch his videos on You Tube. I probably used his Distress Ink to stamp and then sprinkled with either one of his Distress Powders to match color our use an embossing powder from Stampendous. Once you sprinkle it on you need to use a heat tool ( about $10) to make it shine (Stampendous) or softly puff and gloss if it was his distress powder. It's an easy strategy that I love to use. Would you be interested in becoming pen pals by any chance--sending each other new ides and strategies we learn and using our homemade cards and stationary? I'd sure love doing that if you are interested! Just let me know! PeggyO P.S. Thanks for the Etsy info; that makes me more willing to get started posting a few items! Need to come up with a clever shop name, too.
