Did Something Go Missing?
Please let me know if you were entitled to a swap item from me and didn't receive it. I ALWAYS send. The only way that I know if something has gone missing is if you tell me, so help me help you!
I also try hard to rate everything that I receive, but be warned it might take a while. I will definitely send you a message before rating if something hasn't arrived. If you haven't heard from me, don't waste any energy worrying about the swap.

Response: I did send out a few cards last month with a mix of sniff and non-sniff stamps. I must have been in a fog cuz I marked the non-sniff cards as scratch-n-sniff and not the sniffy cards. So I DO have a history of leg-pulling. If accidental. But YOURS was the real thing. Way to go, USPS, thinking outside of the box!
Response: You are right - rhubarb stuff is a lot harder to find. In the city and older suburbs around here, pretty much everyone has a plant in their yard. There is a bakery across town which makes flaky crisps pastry folded over a rhubarb filling. I find a fair amount of jams and preserves, but I'm not a fan of toast so we have 2 or 3 jars hoarded in our cupboard (note to self: get on that - maybe I could spread a jar on a batch of sweet rolls). Oooo, for some reason, another fav just popped into my head - cassis/black currant. Also hard to find, except in Canada and the UK.
Response: Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallics. I LOVE those pens!! They sheen in two colors when you tilt it in the light.
Response: Oooo! How do you like Smithsonian? I'm thinking about getting one more magazine to fill time instead of looking at my phone so much every day.
Response: Heads up! You're gonna wanna read Let It Snow twice. There are several intertwined stories, and after you finish you're going to want to go back to see the connections you missed the first time around. That's one of the reasons it's fun to read every year.
Response: I am SO EXCITED that I finally learned how to do zippers! I like to make lined zipper pouches to keep things sorted like my charger cords and my gel pens.
Response: I never really thought about farfalle pasta much, so I was super excited when 1) it turned out to be butterflies, and 2) I actually had butterfly paper in my stash. Good luck with the exams! Keep on crack a lacking at them!
Response: It's funny how much free flying birds bother some people. I think it's delightful. Although I used to have nightmares about my birds getting loose out of the house. >shudder< Thank goodness that never happened! (And I hope that it never does!!)

Thanks for hosting this fun swap. Just mailed mine off to recipients. So fun handing chunks of cardboard over to postal clerk and seeing them smile when they look them over before adding postage. Yay!
Happy 10 year anniversary month with SB!!
Glad to see you hosting again :) hope you got my little surprise package :) xoxo tarah
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Well, but, as long as you HAVE the Vandercook press..well, I mean, would you maybe TRY to make me some sort of trinket..I dunno, like maybe my own personalized...oh...moose head postcard? I especially enjoy ones featuring them enjoying a good Grape Tang, but I'm not picky. Thank you.
I have you as a partner for a swap and love how you call out bratty SB users! I also put a disclaimer on my profile due to snotty people I've 'gotten' to encounter on this site. The entitlement of some people is just disgusting!
In saying that, I Hope I find a card that you will like! :D
Thanks so much for keepin' the Fountain Pen pal swaps going, Betsy, as well as the Typewriter swaps. I've done both of them, more than once, and I want to do more in the future, because I've met some great people through them! (P.S. Did you get my letter? =smile= No rush on the reply: I just wanted to make sure you got it.)
Love Your "Chunk-o-Cardboard" Postcard Swaps that you Host. Its got me looking for unusual Chunks to use and I got one of my Friend to start using Cardboard like that too...I have even started to Decorate them according to the partners Profile... It Fun Fun Fun! Thanks for being a Great Host...
Thanks for your third quarter reading swap. I was flaked on, so it was nice to receive an angel of my own :)
