Response: Thepostcard that was stolen from my mailbox was WAY better, so i'm glad you liked the Venice one. It was very difficult to come up with one idea about Italy, so coming up with a second was a challenge. And no need for thanks, I've been a really good swapper for many years and would never disappoint someone intentionally.

Response: Well, I would have communicated if I could, but I had no way. None. I did as soon as I got home. I realize I was a little late, but I did NOT flake, I felt like I went over and above by sending you a homemade potholder as well as two nicely decorated recipes instead of one.....a three would seem fair if I was REALLY late, or if I'd sent something below par A 3 just seems mean-spirited...sorry, I'm really bummed but I'll keep trying to redeem my good standing. :)
