Comment: Great Rolo-love the vintage school look and that's what I did with mine! I however hated math and still do-wish I had had a teacher like yours. I'm hoping the gel injections I just got in my knees keep me from surgeries-dr thinks it may be my hip and not my knees that are the problem. Glad you are having good luck with your hip and the next one too. Starting to cool off here-I love fall and winter even more! Take care-always good to get a swap from you, friend!

Comment: I love this so very much. I was wondering about how you did it. Did you just glue tissue paper to the postcard? Then spray on different sprays. Or did you wet the tissue paper to make it bleed? And then what is the unicorn? Is that just a digital that you colored in with metallic markers? I'm trying to learn more mixed media
Response: Wrinkle tissue first. I used a glue on a base paper then added the tissue over keeping as much of the wrinkles as possible. After that sprays. This video explains the process. The rest is painted in acrylics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhfuBGE0N2g&list=PLtLW-fYw76EsKhJ5ODht71woS1LBMgdfx&index=141&t=21s Thanks for the heart!

Comment: I laughed out loud at your spiked watermelon story! Sadly (but fortunately!) I despise the taste of anything stronger than Mike's Hard Lemonade...if I can taste the alcohol, the drink (or watermelon) is ruined for me. I've never tasted jet fuel, but in my mind, hard alcohol and jet fuel taste the same. I love the ATC, and I believe that hummingbirds. must LOVE watermelon flowers! I owe you a newsy message, and I promise it's coming. I'm in a mess here...constant vestibular migraines, too much stuff to organize quickly and efficiently, and at the moment, a kitty who has developed a cough that concerns me greatly. We're seeing the vet tomorrow. I can't lose another kitty, Bev. I just can't. I'm already mentally fragile, with the chaos and the headaches...
Response: Thank you for your kind words. Hope that all will be well with you and your fur baby. Take it slow and look after the both of you!

Comment: We both enjoy making and receiving small works of art, such as artist trading cards…so when I say that this exquisite ATC ornament is a true work of art, you know I mean no disrespect to all the lovely ATCs created and received over the years. What I mean is that this one is so “extra”…so beautifully crafted (on both sides!)…that it’s in a different realm. Thank you so, so much. I will be saving the lace for a very special project…and this piece of art is in my ornament box, to be brought out year after year.

Comment: She is such a beauty! I see pictures, movies, etc. in which the fashionable ladies are wearing extravagantly extreme hats, and I wonder how on earth they kept their balance...particularly as I have also noticed their little high heeled shoes! It must be something like Vegas showgirls do...practice moving about while wearing pounds and pounds of elaborate headdresses. I do wish we would return to wearing hats...they are so elegant! Thank you also for the wonderful Christmas punch-outs; I have several Christmas swaps coming up.

It sounds like you are quite busy around the Holidays but sounds also fun! Thank you for also sharing with me about your younger friend who loves birds. I love birds so much too, my dream is to open an avian sanctuary and rescue! Hopefully one day I can achieve that. It also breaks my heart seeing people keep their birds in cages all the time. I have two parakeets and they do the same thing for cages at bedtime. Their favorite thing to do is sit on my window and sing! Thank you so very much again for everything.

Comment: Simply adorable! I love flamingoes (can that be the correct spelling?) but have only seen live ones at the zoo. I love the tropical colors on your inkbox card. I've had two knee replacements, and while they were difficult, it's hard to imagine life before I had them done. I've heard that hips are much easier than knees, so I know you will be fine. Do your physio, and you'll breeze through the recovery. Our grocery prices are dreadful, which obviously is the case in both countries. I wonder how long this horrible inflation will continue!

I love the use of die cuts on both of these - especially the one with the blue/white background that looks like branches. And I would never have known the one was a blue jay if you hadn't told me! Very clever of you!! We have been lucky here in the desert to avoid almost all of the deluge that has hit the state farther north. We have had some rain and there is a lot of snow in the mountains, which is good, but we have escaped the most of it. Glad you had a good Christmas but the traveling on the ferry sounded awful!! Warmer weather is coming - one of these days!! Take Care.

Cold weather does require a lot more communion than hot so I really appreciate your story. I'm sorry that you had a tough year. I hope you have friends to count on this time of the year so you don't feel lonely. I had a few Xmas by myself and although it is just a date, it is always better when shared. Take care, Renata

Comment: Both cards are lovely, Bev. Have a wonderful Xmas on the Island. We're going to get a live tree this year - the Scouts have an event where you pay $5 to cut down your own tree on some property in the Kananaskis area. They end up being kind of a "Charlie Brown" tree, but it's fun and they have a big bonfire where you can cook up a hotdog.
Response: That sounds wonderful. As a child, each family in the camp had permission to cut down one tree. Loved the smell of the fresh tree. Hated cleaning up the needles after. Thank you for the heart! Have a good and safe Christmas!

And lastly thanks for your note and taking the time to share you thoughts. And I do remember having a chart with stars when in school and we also had one at home.

I was a voracious reader, ahead of my class in certain subjects unrelated to math, and I made it clear that the others were holding me back! Ugh...I'm probably the reason I never became a teacher! Your artwork is always stunning, and this is right up there with the best tags I've ever received. Thank you!
Response: So pleased you enjoyed it. I was always "Tries hard but" child in my first few grades. I loved math and reading. By the time I was in grade 8, I had a grade 12 reading level.

Comment: Hi Bev and thank you for the two butterfly ink box cards. I am really liking this new shape and size - a fun change from ATCs. These are both lovely and love that you used napkins for the background on each. I have a bunch of napkins but always forget to use them. Love the color schemes you chose and the glitter on the blue hydrangea is so pretty. And thanks for the extras - love the little tickets - and for you kind note. I'm so sorry about your brother. It sounds like he may have had a rough life, but 63 seems so young anymore. Hopefully the arrangements you are left making will go smoothly. Thanks again for a great swap!

Response: Yes, the one rabbit was painted by me. I have used him before. He is from an image I found on a Google search. Have fun playing with the die cuts! Thank you for the heart!

She gives the whole composition such a serene and peaceful vibe. Wonderful trims and embellishments as well. And thank you for the lovely embossed papers and the pretty turquoise and brown note card!

Response: Thank you for your kind words and heart! Love the digitals. Key to using them is the right setting on your printer. You have to use the highest quality for printing along with quality paper or card stock. I have a tank printer which makes it cost effective.

I always have such trouble with that and they end up too big. But these are perfect and petite with some great little tiny bird images. They will be fun to add to projects and are perfect size for something even as small as an ATC. So many thanks for another great swap!

I'm always amazed at how a little stitching can really add so much. And as always, thank you for your lovely note. It sounds like you are doing well and enjoying your new life, so cheers to you! I love to travel too and we have missed it these past two years. We have rebooked a cruise for June this year so fingers crossed all goes according to plan. And thank you for the bunch of cute little tickets - love them!

My mother in law loved pansies too and always planted some in the spring. Even your backing paper compliments the front of your ATC. And thank you for the bird stamps - I love the one wearing a pilots cap and goggles! The fine line one - there is a humming bird and a bird with berries in his beak - really like those as well.

And such a beautiful (albeit sad) theme...it saddens me that American schoolchildren aren’t taught about the various world (and other) wars, because I fear that not understanding what led to them ends in more wars, and that’s a bleak prospect. There are so many sad stories that come from war...so many left behind wondering how to move on with their lives in the face of devastation. Anyway...your details are amazing, my very favorite being the “we regret to inform you” telegram. Just a lovely work of art!

And they are adorable-like that you printed your own paper-I'm starting to do that more now too! I just love the vintage valentine images on the paper and the tags. Then you wowed me with my favorite glitter paper! I appreciate the telling of your "love story"-so sweet. Thanks for sharing everything and Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks, also, for the great tuck-ins and your signature note ;+) Please forgive my late rating--winter colds back-to-back have really gotten the best of me this season.

I love both rolos, and they are taking pride of place in my rolodex (which is actually a photo box with chopsticks glued to the ends to keep the rolos upright and easily visible)!

Comment: Bev thank you so much for this amazing tag made even more special with your family photo! For ten years while I was teaching, I coordinated our school’s Veterans Day celebration. I loved doing it and always felt it was my way to support those who served or are serving now. Every year my art students would make large poppies to give to our guests as I would read the poem Flanders Field. I really miss doing this program since I’m no longer able to teach. This tag reminds me of how special our Veterans are! Thanks so much for all of the amazing tags you’ve made for my book. I love them all.
Response: Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Life has a way of keeping one busy. I do ;love that image. Never saw it before this year. Can see why my Gran was attracted to him. He was quite the charmer. So sad the challenges he had to go through during and after the war. He drove a supply truck to one of the death camps after it was liberated. Haunted him for a very long time.

Thank you also for the lovely stash of origami paper; it's a special love of mine. You will laugh when I tell you that apparently your swap envelope was flagged as possibly hiding something nefarious, as it was sealed with bright green tape stating: Examined by US Customs and Border Protection. I certainly do feel much safer now! (Sarcasm intended). I am sorry to hear of the shooting near the Japanese Dollar Store; it's so bad here that I think movie theaters may go out of business, and shopping malls have been forsaken in favor of online shopping for several years. It is a scary world we live in, particularly here in the USA, with our homegrown terrorists being applauded by our sorry excuse for a President.

Response: I am trying to remember which images I used. I did not scan and save the image like I usually do for some reason.

My Gran had a breeding kennel at one point and was a sucker for strays as well. She had one that was quite the character. I was at my Gran's house and I answered the front door as we had heard knocking. When I opened it, the only one at the door was a huge great dane.

Comment: Bev, this is really gorgeous! I can't believe you managed to make a window to frame that sweet quote perfectly!. Love the glittery paper you used and those sweet butterflies. And I am OVERJOYED with those sticky stencils you sent--WOW! I can't wait to use those on a swap. You're simply the best!
Response: You are more than welcome. Always happy to pass on something I know will get used. You may want to lightly dust the back of the sticky stencil as it is too sticky and can tear paper. I am trying to sort what I have acquired prior to my move back into my place in the early part of next year. Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thanks for these great embellishments! Thanks too for the extra papers and the nice note! Our "mice" are voles! David has caught 30 of them in traps so far. We tried using the sticky ones, but they soon learned to just kick dirt over them. Even with using the snap traps, we only get one out of 3 we figure. We feed the caught ones to the crows. Nothing goes to waste up here! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

And that little cow? Perfect! It was such fun to read about the logging camps and your mother's love of old houses--I share that love. I grew up in a huge 1850's Victorian. It was fairly near the OSU campus and as the campus expands and expands I know it's only a matter of time 'til it is torn down. We drive past it frequently. Thank you so much for this wonderful swap; I get so excited when I see your name on the envelope because of the swap AND your newsy notes--they always give me a lift.

Comment: Bev, what a package! The rolo is beautiful--this was my first rolo swap and yours is a gorgeous beginning to my collection. Love that sweet girl glittering her flowers--so clever. Then you sent me an ENTIRE STAMP COLLECTION! You are so generous! I'm going to start an air mail swap so I have a chance to use the stamps IMMEDIATELY! Thanks, also, for the unused stamps. I pick and peel and cut so I use them all--sometimes with glue ;+) So glad your condo is shaping up and glad you got all the upgrades--we deserve all good things!
Response: Always happy to share the wealth! Postage is so pricey these days. The stamps were extras I had. Did not realize how many they were able to recover after the fire. Thought I had lost that set so bought again. Thanks for the heart!

Thank you for the book pages as well. I have never heard of Pittman shorthand...it looks very complicated. What was it used for? take care.
Response: The shorthand was before your time. It was a way of shortening words so secretaries could take dictation in offices, thus called shorthand. By the 70s with the advent of word processors and computers it became redundant. Thanks for the kind words and the heart!

I am full of admiration for my fellow artists who can mix things up successfully. The more modern of the two ATCs reminds me very much of BevT's art, which has a special place in my heart. You are a truly wonderful swap partner (those trims!).
Response: Thanks for the heart. I have been trying to switch things up a bit so I don't get bored or in a rut. I do so miss BevT. She was always a treat to swap with. Hope all is well with her. If you ever get to Vancouver will have to take you to the store where I get most of them...

Comment: Not one, but TWO completely different fairy-themed altered rolos...and both are beautiful in their own ways! First of all, I don't think there's such a thing as "too much" fairy dust...and if there is such a thing, I see no evidence of it on this pink-and-purple beauty. (I know how you feel, though...I tend to "overdo" when using embossing powder and a heat gun.) Rest assured, my sweet friend, both of these will be displayed proudly in my small rolodex!
Response: So happy you liked both of them. Was worried about the glut of glitter. Thanks again for your heart! Always a pleasure to swap with you!

As you know, Calgary had a huge dump early this month - still have some in the yard on the north side - but, it's been great temps this week.

I think your #4 Index card came out great - I love your colors and the cute little lady watering her garden. I had not had much experience with Gesso but found I liked the effect so have used it since. So thank you for the spectacular Queen of the Jungle index card!
Response: Thanks for the heart! The garden outside my window is absolutely crazy right now. The fellow who manages it is away for a month so when he gets back he will need not just a weed wacker but a machete it has gotten so bad. On the plus side, this is the first year I have seen the cacti blooming! Lovely great yellow and pink blush colours.

Every time I look at it, I find something new to love. I am CRAZY or the painted and stamped card. Have you taken painting classes or is this just a gift? I love this card SOOOO much--especially the fisherman with his telescope--what a special image--is it a stamp? Thanks, too, for your lovely note. Unfortunately we're already in the middle of a heat wave--90+ every day this week. I'm not a beachy person either; I won't swim in the ocean and the alternative is being sweaty in the sand ;+) Great to receive your art again, Bev!
Response: You need to send some of that sun our way! The lighthouse journal page is all stamps with watercolour and acrylics added. These are some of my fav stamps. I have not taken any painting classes but my Gran was an artist so perhaps it runs in the family... The embossing folder I used for the waves is a newer one I got about 5 months ago. I love it also but find I have to be careful about which cardstock I use as it can cut into it. Found gently misting the paper first helps. Thanks for the heart!

LOVE that lace, those tags, and that lovely envelope of the Marie Antoinette-ish lady holding the bird aloft! All the layering/collage work is inspred. You must have some amazing dies, Bev; I can't wait to dig in and use all that you sent! Such unique shapes and fantastic papers. You really spoil your swap partner, Bev, and I'm so glad it has been me lately! I'm so, so sorry to be rating late for your beautiful works of art. I had kidney stone surgery last Tuesday and before AND after, I was not feeling up to snuff. I'm on the mend now, though, and truly enjoying your art!
Response: Glad to hear you are on the mend. hope you are back to normal soon! Thanks for the heart!

I love that you used the little hanging bead trim--I've never seen any that dainty; love that pink 'button', your crepe ruffle and all the pretty inking around the edges. Thanks, too, for the stamps! WOW! I can't believe how many you sent! I won't have to buy any postage this week ;+) Thanks for always being a great swap partner.

Thank you for such a beauty, and for all the details in it. As always, you are so creative and I'm so proud to add this to my Tag Collection. Thank you for my extra lace, I'm already using it, and for the Halloween cut outs (love it) See you next time. Cannot wait for the next swap idea! xoxoxo.

Comment: I love, love what you made for me! You are extremely talented with your painting. Your hand must be incredibly steady. The detail on that sweet little guy was unbelievable! The other atc was just so sweet with the blue parakeet. I had a miniature parrot when we lived in Panama. He bit me one day and flew away. I felt horrible and my heart was broken. His name was Henry Arnold and he knew many words and did the cat call whistle. ( My mom is an incredibly patient animal trainer.) I now have a yellow budgie that will not come out of his cage. He bites but not hard. I've had him a year and since I don't work, I am with him all day. He is quite verbal, but nothing but birdy chirps and sounds. He has a huge cage, so his life isn't bad, but I will continue to be gentle and patient with him, maybe he will come out someday and play. Thank you for sharing your pet stories with me!
Response: Thanks for the kind words. I am better at painting than drawing. It hurts to hold a pen or pencil too long. I must hold the brush differently. Thank you also for the heart!

Comment: Another beauty from my friend Bev! I don't know why, but it always feels wonderful to receive the item that was used for the swap description, and this tag is even prettier in real life than in the photograph, if that's even possible. Thank you for the beautiful artwork, for the gorgeous lace bookmark, and for the well wishes, which I sorely need at the moment. You are, quite simply, wonderful.
Response: Thanks so much for your kind words as always. I am enjoying making these tags. As I told my husband when he commented on the " journey" I took, told him I needed a new travel agent! Pina coladas are on me ( virgin that is) ! Thanks for the heart!

Thanks, also, for all the neat little bits you sent for me to use in my own creations--I must try tea-dyeing fabric--I've only done paper. It really gives the lace piece a 'real' vintage look. I always love to receive your swaps; thanks for always being a great partner.
Response: So pleased all arrived safely! Thanks for the heart! I found that I ended up using ink spray for the lace as the acrylic lace did not hold the stain well.

I know I will enjoy using this journal Thank you so much for this wonderful creative masterpiece!
Response: I also love Steampunk! Can you tell? As you can see I had a lot of fun with it. I was worried that it might be too big in thickness.

And you sent so many of them with this ATC...I am so envious of your Japanese dollar store! There was a wonderful Japanese grocery store in Portland that had a big selection of dolls, origami papers, ceramic pieces, and so forth. However, it was purchased by a cannabis store, which no doubt does 100 times the amount of business on any given day. You are a truly wonderful swap partner and long-distance friend, Bev. And that is from my heart.
Response: So pleased all arrived safely. We have a huge Asian population here so there is always a demand for it. The new place in Richmond was super crazy busy when we went there. So much fun crafty stuff. I want to go back there soon!

I love the feel of it and all vintage images and tuck ins you used. I especially love those paper clips. Would you share what you finished them with to get that texture? Then you put it all inside a wood cigar box (love them) and some awesome filigree and lace. Thanks so much for a fantastic swap, I will treasure it! :)
Response: I have been working on trying some new tricks. I loved how this came out with the leather look. At this moment I have a glut of boxes with a client giving me all of his. Seemed like a great way to mail it safely. So pleased you liked all! Thanks for the heart!

And these are wonderful-not only you made me one but two and I love the humor behind them! I love vintage pattern illustrations. I have a Butterick catalog from 1932 and it is so much fun to look at and the lady who owned it before my buying it on Ebay had pasted recipes and household hints of the day in it-made it all the more enthralling! So thanks for sharing with me and the extra book and map pages are much appreciated. So good to swap with you again!

Comment: Lovely, as always, Bev . . . your cards (and signature note) are always such a pleasure to receive. I thought the Parisian Barbie was gorgeous and I loved your printed notecard! Even your envelope was pure Barbie. Thanks, also, for your newsy note and those just-plain-neat little jewels. I ADORE the ones with the little crinkled edges and I've never seen them for sale ANYWHERE near me. Hope we're partnered together again soon.
Response: So pleased all arrived safely! I get those little jewels at a local 1$ store. Love them as they are flat enough that they don't affect postage and they still look lovely.

Comment: Loved reading your letter, I have a Cockatiel bird, and he got a lot of attitude. My brother in-law said once that my bird must be bored. Then he got to know Cheeko and realized that he was an active bird with a personality , Thank you for the lovely card and goodies.
Response: Thanks for the heart! I am told they are very intelligent birds, on the level of a three year old.

Comment: Every envelope from you is full of delight...I simply love your attention to detail (even the card has a beautiful J.E. lady on it). Both ATCs are wonderful...I truly would not be able to pick a favorite. I completely agree with your appreciation for the "older" pinups...they are prettier, more natural, and not quite as "bombshell" as some of the newer ones (lol...from the 40's and 50's). I have a special place in my heart for the lovely "girl next door" Jules Erbit ladies. Thank you for another magnificent swap experience, dear Bev!
Response: Thank you for your kind words as always. We seem to be matched up a lot lately. Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Love your dragonflies. Beautiful background. Do not feel nervous about sending to me. I use to work in very large formats, these little guys are new to me in the last few years. I love your ATC. Very beautifully done. Thank you and thank you for the wonderful note. Pat💕💕
Response: Thanks for the kind words. For me I like the small format as the large ones overwhelm me. Thanks for the heart!

Comment: That is a lovely colourful PC! I love the combination. It truly is breathing spring. You surely had fun trying all the stitches! I also should use those unusual stitches more. Not only the simple lines and obvious zig zag. :)
Response: Wow, that was quick! I wish we were actually seeing spring. Dark and rainy here. We set a record for rainfall today! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: This is an outstanding ATC, Miss Bev! Marie Antoinette has never looked better, and you showcased her beautifully. I always love receiving mail from you, and I never fail to say "Next time I will write a better note, like Bev does"...but I never follow through. It's one of the things that make your swap partners love to receive mail from you. I have to mention the beautiful trims...I love them, too! I know these aren't tatted, but I have to tell you that I bought a tatting shuttle and paid $19.99 for an online class to teach myself to tat. What ended up happening is that I wasted $19.99. Apparently I am not capable of learning from a video. I still have hope, however, and will not give up!
Response: I have made a few small samples but have been so crazy busy lately have not had time to pick the shuttle up. Give yourself time, I actually learned from a Victorian reprinted book, lol! Am very happy to see all arrived promptly and safely! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: I simply adore this lovely vintage bicycle ATC...the original has not shown up, but hope springs eternal. I laughed when I read the text...Danger was her middle name! This is what I think when I see bicyclists dodging in and out of downtown Portland traffic! It's for the young and fearless, and definitely NOT for the likes of me. Thank you so much for always making such amazing little works of art, my dear swapping friend...you're quite simply The Best!
Response: You do make me blush! So sad the original has not arrived. I had one swap arrive two years after the fact... Thanks for the heart!
