Response: You're welcome. It's nice to have something special to write about. Yes, the trip was amazing. I want to go again, to see more of Africa.

Response: You're welcome. I enjoy choosing postcards for you. The latest silliness is needing $45 in crisp new bills for a visa into Zimbabwe, to see Victoria Falls. And this is one trip that all my pills are traveling in original bottles if they are so picky.
Response: You're welcome! I'd say that most of the postcards in the Lego box are pretty good. I decided a while back that I don't need to send *all* the postcards in a box of 100 and pack up the duds for Goodwill.
Response: You're welcome! I chose ones in the old style, not so watercolor-y.
Response: Thank you for rating me. Happy New Year to you too! And best wishes for peace in the coming year.
Response: You're so welcome! We've had a modest amount of snow and very low temps. The bathroom sink cold water pipe froze and then unfroze when we left the kitchen cabinet doors wide open - another kind of hazard. I'm glad you like my interpretation of the topic.

Response: I'm opening mine on December 18th, the first night of Hanukkah. You could open yours then too and celebrate Hanukkah with me. 😁 🕎 😁
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the resend arrived safely. Maybe in a week or two you'll receive the first batch. Holiday season for us is Hanukkah with a few candles and fun buying gifts for a needy family somewhere in our county. I enjoy all the good cheer around us in this season.
Response: You're welcome. (I placed a Black Friday order for *more* washi tape.) Berbere spice mix arrived in time from Amazon; boy is that hot!

Response: You're so very welcome again. I had not noticed the unicorn - I'll look for it now.

Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I had a fabulous time in Italy! I send home a box of groceries and made a wonderful mushroom flan with lots of porcini.
Response: You're welcome. I just emailed you a photo of the dragon and our new Snoopy that I couldn't not get.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much destashing as sharing rather than hoarding!
Response: You're welcome! It snowed here today and I'm hoping for better weather to be out and about in Italy because I'm not taking boots!
Response: You're welcome. The news photos of areas demolished by rockets are likely hard for Ukrainian refugees to see too. They are heart-wrenching to me.

Response: I will! I'm looking forward to getting on an airplane for the first time in years.
Response: Your'e welcome! And it's the autumnal Equinox!
Response: You're welcome. It's easier to pick cards when I read a well written profile like yours.

Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed hearing why I chose those particular postcards.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. We listened to a ranger talk at the Arch Museum. The MO senator at the time - a woman - advocated for funding the design while carrying a handbag with handles shaped like the proposed arch.
Response: I'm so glad I could pull a trick like that without incurring the wrath of my partner. Thank you for having a great sense of humor.
Response: Such a quick rating! I mailed the postcard on Sunday so it was on its way Monday and you rated me on Tuesday. Is your rating from Informed Delivery?
Edit: This is amazing! When I mailed this swap I also mailed a postcard to my husband's parents who live six miles from us. When I stopped in today 8/17 it hadn't arrived!

Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes and letters and I guess they are like extras.

Response: You're so welcome! Thank you for hosting!
Response: You're welcome. I have a book of Bauhaus design paper and I make envelopes from these sheets.

Response: You're welcome!
Response: Was it the alarm clock that got ya?!!
Response: You're welcome! We now have one pink peony open and lots of tight little round buds.

Response: You're welcome. I have great fun decorating with postage.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun putting together these swaps.

Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I added the Andy Warhol playings cards because you have altered playing cards on your profile.

Response: You're welcome. When I send to or receive from Australia I always wonder about the swap's modes of transportation that they take so long. Why don't they put it on an airplane?!!
Response: You're so welcome! When my husband was teaching from home he made a rule that I couldn't stream videos when he was online for lectures, office hours and proctoring exams. Not that I was before the rule! More Covid anxiety .
Response: You're welcome. It's a outer space thank you for hosting many, many kawaii swaps.
Response: You're welcome. It's always a pleasure to share with you.
Response: You're welcome. We went to Arkansas one March and saw bird's foot violets in bloom, when Minnesota was still snow-covered.

Response: You're welcome. It's a very special national park. Perhaps you'll visit one day.
Response: You're welcome! Yes, friends need valentines too!
Response: You're welcome! The looking is postponed until the latest surge ends. I'm at home, configuring a new ChromeBook computer for my father-in-law. Configuring means turning on parental controls.
Response: You're welcome. Bridges fascinated my dad. On road trip vacations we made side trips to see important bridges (there's a Y-shaped bridge in RI) and also a special trip to NYC when the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened. Later I learned there's a correspondence between liking bridges and people who never learned to swim. Dad never learned to swim. That's why I asked about the desert and your nautical interests.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much new stuff now so you're getting oldies but goodies.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like them. I chose favorites of mine.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome.

Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting the swap. Stay healthy and out of the storms!
Response: You're welcome. Your great profile made it easy for me to choose a postcard for you.
Response: You're welcome. The big winds here in Minnesota wended their way south of us. My spouse worries about this sort of weather so we charged the lanterns and put new batteries in the flashlights!
Response: You're so welcome! My spouse is making the long-running joke about what did I get myself for Hanukkah. But it's Christmas so, yes, it's okay! And because I'm making half a dozen kinds of Christmas cookies for his parents.
Response: I'm glad you like it! I keep a spreadsheet of all the swaps I join to help me keep track of everything. The upshot is that I'm a bit nudgy at times!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad they arrived: better late than never!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad they hit your sweet spot!
Response: Happy Hanukkah! Shabbat Shalom! My husband says our weather is like Northern California now. I haven't scraped frost off our little auto and snow is only a light dusting. Daytime temps in the 40s and nighttime temps rarely drop below freezing.
Response: I'm so glad you like it! We had a tiny vegetarian Thanksgiving, just my husband and me. Only one dessert so I created a mashup of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin roll. Well, not *literally* a mashup!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like kawaii!
Response: You're so welcome! Did you gently pull the washi tape off the envelope?!!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're so welcome! I had fun collecting them - I just couldn't stop!
Response: You're welcome. Rick Riordan and Captain Underpants turned my nephew into a reader. Ovid's Metamorphoses was my crash course in Greek mythology. The Penguin translation is particularly good -- a page turner!
Response: I gather the second-click magic worked
Response: I aim for a country that's far from my partner! I'm not sure I'll ever get to the Southern Hemisphere. Leaves are almost gone. Good raking weather this weekend, in the 60s.

Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like it and think of my swap as a treat!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're so welcome! So is it a bridge or a work of art?!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy sending cheer!
Response: You're welcome. Maybe, some day, I'll visit you in Alaska. In the meantime we are healthy and not going far from home. Just Stevens Point, WI, again next week.
Response: I think you need a French memo board so you don't start new piles in your office. I made one with fabric, ribbon, and a stretched canvas. It has layers of wonderful postcards because I add my incoming favorites on top and now it's Postcrossingyears of layers. Many postcards aren't saved now because there are too many.
Response: Did I use the watercolor squirrel washi tape?!! Or was it more in the appetizing direction?
Response: Are we sure it's not counterfeit red snapper?
Response: You're welcome. The holidays do stay on one's mind for a while! For me, it's nice that there's not a gift giving tradition.

Response: Hip hip hooray! You're welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I was anxious! Let's do this again, new topic!
Response: You're so welcome! Yours is exactly the response I hoped for!
Response: You're welcome! Safe, yes. My husband started teaching in person this week and was relieved to see that all the students in the lecture hall wore masks. He'd been anxious for weeks.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting the swap. It's nice to participate in a kawaii swap that's not KSU.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you have a wordy profile!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad both arrived and that you love Higuchi too!
Response: You're so welcome. I'd just found the Stillwater Prison postcard in Stillwater and was happy to see that you collect prison postcards - on nearly the same day!
Response: Lots of groceries for your cookbook! Yes, it's better to be lucky than good.
Response: You're welcome! I explore the far reaches of my collection to send you ones I've not sent before. Family is getting ready for in-person lecturing next week. My job is to take him clothes shopping and give him a haircut.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you still like the UFO tape.
Response: I'm glad you liked reading it! Writing the letter was a good way to think about what I did this summer.
Response: 😁 Making a good effort to destash. I love that tape but its being vertical makes it hard to place. I'm a corn snob now - if it's not fresh off the field...
Response: You're welcome. I buy every bit of space-themed kawaii I see! Washi tape too.
Response: You're welcome! I suppose putting plants up high, out of the cat's way would be a temptation!
Response: You're welcome! I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome! I can't wait for cooler weather so I can resume baking.
Response: You're welcome. I don't get those rubber stamps out often enough. Air is clearer here now. I hope y'all are safe in MO now with the Covid wildfires.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome! Sadly, mail is taking much longer to travel to the Netherlands now. I wonder when it will get back to the old normal.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating!
Response: You're welcome! I've been setting aside surprises for you for a while and this swap was the perfect time to send them.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Out and about, yes, and masked. It's also a help because fires in Manitoba affect our air quality: the AQI is Unhealthy.
Response: You're welcome! I'm still decluttering the yoga space though I am making progress!
Response: You're welcome! I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like the whole package!
Response: You're welcome! We are just back from out of town too. Lots of good podcasts carried us through Wisconsin's monoculture landscape.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for joining. Like you, it's easy to host a swap when I notice I have enough pieces for a good theme.
Response: You're welcome! Once it's over an ounce, it doesn't cost anything to add another one. Especially because i have more than two dozen boxes of 100!
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for the lovely rating!
Response: You're very welcome! A friend went there to gamble and all she got was a handful of postcards for me!
Response: Your'e welcome!
Response: You must have just picked up your mail! I'm glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for promptly rating the swap.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoyed making happy mail for you. I first spotted Nekoni on papertreatshop.com. An Etsy search for "nekoni stickers" has a huge result set.
Response: You're welcome! I enjoy those Japanese postcards too.
Response: I'm glad you like the narwhal. This evening we had omurice for dinner: Trader Joe's Japanese fried rice with a simple omelet draped over it and topped with ketchup. An easy and yummy dinner at home. More than a few of my shortcuts come from TJ's!
Response: You're welcome! I confess that I looked online to make sure Shappo is a bunny. In fact, his official name is Rabbit Shappo.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad I have a stack of Lantern Press postcards!
Response: You're welcome. I was happy to have a card that wasn't from my country and wasn't from your country!
Response: You're welcome! It's always fun to rise to that sort of challenge!
Response: You're welcome. Send me a photo of the bunny washi tape and I'll send you samples. I just replenished my stash of gift cards and now some hotel room keys. And that idea of taping cellos closed comes from Rani.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm thrilled that everything is perfect for you. You're a fun partner to choose for!
Response: You're so welcome! Now we worry about water. St. Paul Farmers Market is off to a slow start because it's so dry. One vendor was selling mushrooms grown in Roseville, indoors of course, where they can control the climate.
Response: You're welcome. I sent a mix of new and older memos. I'm glad you like mushrooms!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for your kind rating.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! There's a San-x store in Pittsburgh of all places!
Response: You're welcome! I thrilled that I made you do happy!
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you love them! And I'm always happy to share kawaii!
Response: You're welcome. I think it's Germany or Austria. If you type the main title into Google, it's sure to pinpoint the location! Both countries have that sort of festival and both are German-speaking countries.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad that arrived safely and I have a data point - it takes about three weeks for mail to travel from my home to yours.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like kawaii stickers.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, opening new sacks is fun. Fun for you too? I hadn't heard of DuckDuckGo until your letter. I've been using it lately for searches, like searching for a concrete and masonry company that can make structural repairs. We'll see!
Response: You're welcome. Remind me to not pack up early!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! It's always nice to have such a fun writing prompt.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I add the best books to my profile, if you don't want to wait for my next postcard!
Response: You're welcome. The phone ordeal was only an ordeal when I had to deal with AT&T. Next time I'll stick with old reliable Apple store.
Response: You're welcome. Probably half the fun of swapping is packaging!
Response: You're welcome! Recently I binged on washi tapes and want to share. Now rolls are shorter by meters.
Response: You're welcome. I don't often participate in these swaps because I want to make each one special.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. The artist has won two Caldecott Medals for her illustrations of children's books. And of course I need to say more than Hi, how are you!
Response: You're welcome. I can't bear to toss out those cute ziplock sticker sacks!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all the postcards. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome! I was glad to send something that doesn't rely on forwarding! I thought Ryleigh is about the age for kawaii. And I too love washi - too much!
Response: You're welcome. When do you think Canada will be open to visitors for whom travel is optional? I'd like the circumnavigate Lake Superior.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. In his first tour, as 2LT, he had patrols where he'd read because he couldn't socialize. I sent him a Kindle after asking a question on Amazon about how it'd work in those conditions. Lots of ex mil said great! Tom was thrilled because he was running out of reading material. Now he always has an iPad at hand.
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy when what I send is your happy mail. I started journals that languish, probably because I think no one will read them and people do read my letters and postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Animals and a pork cutlet?!!
Response: Thank you! There aren't too many places with good vegetarian takeout here. Pizza is best eaten straight from the oven and I'm making it in our oven now!
Response: You're welcome! Of course they wouldn't travel together even though they were mailed together!
Response: You're welcome! He worked at the UNT health center for several years - you might have run into him!
Response: You're welcome. You could be like Pattie and several other partners who peel off the tape and save it!
Response: You're welcome. When I received a pocket letter as a RAK I realized they are the perfect size for sending mini memos and perfect for this swap plus an extra!
Response: You're welcome! I love space and would love to travel through space though, sadly, it won't happen in our lifetimes.
Response: You're welcome. Anxiety about the imminent announcement affected my husband's students who were taking an exam that evening. After the announcement of the verdict there was a huge collective sigh of relief and the exam went forward without a hitch.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it! I really appreciate the prompt rating - I've had to chase more than a few lately.
Response: You're so welcome! There's one more swap headed your way, yet more postcards.
Response: I'm so glad you like them! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Corcoro Coronya 🍓 ?
Response: No drawings from me! I learned years ago that I can't draw and then recently that hand/eye coordination - like catching a ball and drawing - never developed because I didn't get glasses until I was 9 and hand/eye coordination and peripheral vision develop before age 5. I'm glad you like the big sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome! I am *so* glad it finally arrived! I was all set to make another one. I made yours from my favorite catalog for perennial plants and bulbs and would make a resend from the new catalog that arrived recently.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you're HAPPY!!!
Response: You're welcome. Two out of three mailed at the same time -- an interesting data point about USPS.

Response: I'm so glad I got your sweet spot!
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart!
Response: You're so welcome! And that's a fast trip to Canada for a change. Most swaps I mail to Canada take almost a month. Perhaps an Etsy shop in Canada?
Response: You're so welcome! I now have more unopened sticker sacks than open ones so it's time to open more.
Response: You're so welcome! I enjoy writing those letters.
Response: And double the fun! Nothing like a resend to get the mail flowing again.
Response: Thank you for rating me anyway. I sent you a thank you - not a resend! It's with tracking 9500116604921100682414, expected delivery Wednesday 4/14. Maybe this will help with your mail problems. Please leave a comment to let me know that it's in your hands!

Response: You are so welcome! I had fun putting it together just for you. I happened to have that lovely cardboard mailer from an Etsy order for postcards and it was perfect for sending letter sets. So I did!
Response: You're so welcome. My partner's dot were completely different than what I sent you! I enjoy writing you letters.
Response: You're so welcome. I happy that it finally arrived after traveling for six weeks. I want to visit New Zealand; maybe I can find a slow boat like my swap and enjoy the trip!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoy my joke. Sometimes I miss the mark.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad that postcard hit your sweet spot!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad to see you're catching up on your ratings.
Response: You're welcome. I love when the swap and the rating and the response turn into little conversations. It's amazing how not ordering goods online slows their rate of reproduction!
Response: You're so welcome! Congratulations on your first swap! Thank you for the prompt rating and your lovely comment.
Response: You're so welcome. I have all too many rolls of washi tape and I love sharing. I have tiny heuchara leaves; a few scilla in bloom, heralding a carpet in the next week; crocuses in bloom; and tulips are almost 6 inches high. No sign of daffodils. I planted a Minnesota redbud last year and can't wait to see what that does. I'm looking forward to my many hellebore blooming soon.
Response: You're welcome! All the cards in the Urban Sketching box are wonderful.
Response: You're welcome! I love collecting washi tape and it's about time I share it!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're out-of-this-world welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I have more fun with scavenger hunts than putting three postcards in an envelope!
Response: You're welcome. Some I include because they have easy PC matches. When I lived abroad Women's Day was widely observed, before here in the US. Until recently it was odd!
Response: Thank you for the heart!
Response: Now that I've just finished my taxes I have time to take a few photos. Oh, wait. Now I'm cleaning for Passover.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun to swap with someone I've not met before.
Response: You're welcome. I have a little collection of fun paperclips but I'm not sure how to use them - send them off in swaps?!!

Response: Yes, tiny surprises. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Fun coincidence!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for rating me so promptly!
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy that my duplicates weren't your duplicates!
Response: You're welcome. It's warming up now. I think you're in one of the few warm corners in the US just now. I have a brother and a sister who live in Dallas and between text messages and Facebook there's lots of complaining. And they even have clothes for northern winters!
Response: I'm glad you like everything. Is there any chance I'll get out of the Upper Midwest or perhaps even the US in 2021?!! I'm not old enough to get a vaccine now so I'm patient and careful.
Response: You're welcome. I tell my husband that when he retires we are moving. I think he keeps on working because he doesn't want to move.
Response: To make it yourself, hold a piece of glass over the fire to collect the smoke, then rinse it down with water to make liquid smoke. Or you can use the smoked glass to view an eclipse.
Response: Thanks for hosting. Next time I'll make it from sticker sheets -- quicker than peeling all those flakes!
Response: You're welcome.Thanks for joining my swap. I'll host another in March.
Response: You're welcome. Our furnace is working hard and Greg worries whether it will make it through this cold snap.

Response: I'm so glad you're !!!!! happy!
Response: You're welcome! I like these themeless swaps too!

Response: I'm glad the fishes arrived!
Response: You're welcome. Swaps are a good diversion in the midst of our awful political situation.

Response: You're welcome! I bought those cards when I spotted the mango-shaped India.
Response: You're welcome! Who knows when and where I'm going next?!!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, we have snow, slowly but surely accumulating now. I need to change the license plates on the car now - it's up in the 20s today!
Response: You're welcome! I fell in love with mango-shaped India, a design that's ubiquitous in India and a seminal example of cultural appropriation.
Response: You're welcome. Today is a day of catching up and, as is our usual custom, avoiding stores. I drove by Target #1 the other day and the parking lot was packed. Covid? What Covid?
Response: You're welcome and thank you for the words of advice. I don't obsess over the notes I write - so why can I not stopping obsessing about making perfect crafts?!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Tonight is the first night of Chanukah and it's quiet in our home because my husband is proctoring an exam via Zoom this evening.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm happy to treat you!
Response: Cool! Winter! Great word play!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: I'm glad everyone is thrilled! I sent my in-laws a big box of Ghirardelli brownie mixes (6 pouches) from Costco and realized I could flip the cost of swaps: more product and less postage. Now, don't eat them all at once!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like like the package of little books!
Response: You're welcome. We had a tiny quiet feast -- we each chose a couple of favorites and I made a new dish: Hasselback potatoes. My husband Zoomed with his family too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm sending to you again today!
Response: You're welcome. Your lovely rating is a lift to my day!
Response: You're welcome. A good book is always a treat!
Response: You're welcome! I looked for teas with your aromatherapy interests in mind.
Response: You're welcome. I have several new boxes of 50 and 100 because I'm sending frequent postcards to 43 people sheltering in place, most alone, as well as weekly postcards to my in-laws and my aunt. Only my aunt is a fotofolio sort of person!
Response: You're welcome. I wish I had a Japanese bakery in town! Or maybe go to Tokyo and pick up bakery treats.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you're thrilled! +++ I'm glad to know my package arrived and I look forward to seeing your updates as you open them. I'll open yours for Chanukah, beginning the evening of December 10th.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I'm sure our tiny holiday will be lovely. Dinner for two is downsized and simplified!
Response: Your'e welcome. Dried beans and whole grain both have plenty of protein. I just came across this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2020/11/02/how-to-cook-lentils-varieties/
Response: You're welcome. That box of food postcards is full of sly little jokes.
Response: You're welcome. Minnesota is surrounded by states with high per capita numbers of cases, and then we turned red too. Even rural cases are hard hit. We are staying close to home. Greg thinks students will go home for Thanksgiving and stay home for the remainder of the semester.
Response: You're welcome. One day, someday, I'll visit Vancouver!
Response: Though not quite everything to make ambrosia.
Response: You're welcome! I'm an immigrant and there's so much I don't get. My MIL trained me in the etiquette of the Norwegian cookie plate -- the magic number is 7!
Response: You're welcome. We've had weather in the 60s and 70s this past week and I'm mostly in the garden planting bulbs and raking leaves. Talk about whiplash!
Response: You're welcome! Me too!
Response: You're welcome. When I feel that I can't part with one or another postcard, after a while I can!
Response: I'm so glad I could send you good cheer. I had fun pulling kawaii for you. The hard part was sending one each day. One afternoon I sent two, one mailed from a box that's pick up around 11 each morning and the other from a box that's picked up at 5. Mailed on two days, right?
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Butterflies are rare in my collection of postcards and I was happy to find one.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Those are a favorite of mine too. And the roll is almost gone.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. You're so kind! I agonized over that and decided on minimal look.
Response: You're welcome! What a great way to organize them. I'm not signing up for the whole series. I'll open them day by day for Chanukah.
Response: You're welcome. I love the expression on that dog's face!
Response: You're welcome. We had 8" of snow Tuesday. It keeps coming, a half an inch at a time. Yesterday I scraped snow and ice off the car. We expect temps in the 40s on Wednesday and I will begin planting then.
Response: You're not leaving your mail in the airlock for days on end? Rest assured, I don't lick envelopes, though mostly because glue works better.
Response: Thank you for catching my mistake and sorry it was disappointing!
Response: You're welcome. I'm looking for warm waterproof gloves so I can dig under the snow to plant my daffodil bulbs.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I like to choose cards from places furthest from my partners.
Response: You're welcome! I think I sent one of everything I had. You know, you get started and keep going, a bit OCD!
Response: You're welcome! Too much washi tape in my collection box to recall what I used!
Response: You're welcome! Today I rated a swap from the small city where my cousin lives - I knew exactly where it came from!
Response: You're welcome! Those Czech stickers were printed in Korea. Every once in a while I find something like that when I shop online for kawaii.
Response: You're welcome! Those Czech stickers were printed in Korea. Every once in a while I find something like that when I shop online for kawaii.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad it finally arrived. Book club was lovely, except the corded lawn mower blew out the circuit breaker that week so that grass was longish.
Response: You're welcome 💖
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I spend more time now sending postcards to people who are staying home, many alone. I cycle through a list of 50 family and friends. My latest postcards say, Vote!
Response: You're welcome. I've not added much to my collection lately and I'm glad there were some new to you.
Response: You're welcome. I've never seen the HBO production of GOT so I have no idea who's on the postcard!
Response: You're welcome. I was happy to find a postcard that's so apt!
Response: You're welcome. I volunteered for several years before I knew how important it is to the DFL budget. Cute kitty paper is kawaii.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Enjoy using the stickers! Yes, I love math. I credit my math major with teaching me clear analytical thinking and that's needed in many jobs. So good for your daughter!
Response: You're welcome. My book slub is meeting in our backyards, for the time being, until there's snow on the ground. My omelet recipe contains egg. Have you found good egg substitutes?
Response: 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 😊 You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're so welcome! I always enjoy sending to you. We are well. Greg begins teaching next week, happily away from students, faculty and other bearers of virus.
Response: I'm so glad I could surprise you!
Response: You're welcome. And you'll have an empty mini pocket letter to make one when you put away the mini memos.
Response: You're welcome for the postcard. I feel your pain! It took months to resolve the electricity problem and I felt sorry for the woman who didn't realize it was happening. She had a big bill she couldn't afford.
Response: I'm glad you like both. Of course I would send the wrong one and the right one!
Response: You're welcome. I love those postcards and mostly hoard them. I knew you'd enjoy one!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy making those mini pocket letters - they are perfect for mini memos!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything. And thank you for joining my swap. A one-partner swap is lonely!
Response: You're welcome. We only turn on the oven when it's cool outside - and to make dessert for bookclub. We turn on the AC when temps are above 90, not so often here in MN but more often now with global warming. And my spouse keeps the thermostat at 85° so it only takes the edge off the heat. Today it's breezy and cool after thunderstorms last night.
Response: You're welcome. I've been to Seattle for work several times. I need to go see the sights in the Pacific Northwest.
Response: Ordered and waiting. In the meantime the grass gets longer and longer. I'm working my way through Bugs Bunny - I hope I don't send dups!
Response: You're welcome. I made a French memo board where I post all my favorite postcards. My spouse likes seeing them too.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sharing from my boxes of 100 postcards, all non-touristy.
Response: You're welcome. It's one of those things that gets a bit obsessive - hunting them down until I've looked in all the possible nooks and crannies where I store sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome. I ordered the box of Yuko Higuchi postcards from a shop in Japan, just before all the shipping closed down. They sent them FedEx and the box arrived in June. And then I discovered there's a cult following of her work.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy using all the different postage stamps as people enjoy receiving them!
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I'm doing my bit for the USPS, sending more than a dozen postcards each week to family and friends, and Postcrossing and Swap-bot. Also care packages to my husband's parents.
Response: You're welcome. I credit that English teacher with liberating me from writing anxiety. Someone working for me couldn't write a coherent bug report so I sent her to a community college writing class; she had grammar lessons as well as writing a journal entry everyday.
Response: More like giving my heart(s) to you.
Response: I thought they were broccoli. You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: You're welcome. I have boxes of 100 postcards that I love sharing! I enjoy writing letters too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I enjoyed stretching the boundaries of this swap! Let me know if you'd like a private swap for more GOT postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I think it's fun to make a great variety.
Response: You're welcome. And I'm sending you more tomorrow!
Response: You're welcome! Your great profile helped me choose postcards for you.
Response: You're welcome. I do lose count after a while!
Response: You're welcome. I have kawaii stationery that I buy online and swap. I'm not a collector -- I have too much fun using it!
Response: You're welcome. I have a box of postcards by that artist, many full of fantasy, or maybe surreal? I wasn't sure whether you'd like odd cats so I chose a straightforward card for you.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for rating me so promptly! I use large memos or letter paper from kawaii letter sets for my note paper.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you love them because most of my large memo pads are San-x!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad travel time to the Netherlands is back to normal!
Response: Yes they do! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I felt fortunate that I had weather artwork for you.
Response: You're welcome. I love adding notes to swaps.
Response: You're welcome. Decorating each envelope is an experiment, some more successful than others.
Response: Thank you for joining my swap. I'm glad you share the spirit of the swap. Maybe, when Canada is open again, I can make a road trip north to Winnipeg and west on the Trans-Canada Highway, then north to Alaska.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome. Let me know if you'd like the stovetop recipe.

Response: You're welcome! I love those banana cats too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like the postcards though I can't remember what I sent!
Response: You're welcome. When you said old films, I thought you might enjoy an old photo of Brando. Today I received a box of washi tape I ordered from Japan in April, from one of my favorite sellers on Etsy. Otherwise not so many new tapes now.
Response: You're welcome. I hope they are sharing it nicely!
Response: You're welcome. I'm lucky I have great partners for blind swaps!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. And I can't remember what I sent you 😀
Response: You're welcome. They arrived so quickly! The last swap I sent to the Netherlands took weeks to arrive. I'm glad your mail is flowing nicely now.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. It seemed particularly relevant to the swap topic. We don't plant gardens until after Memorial Day as we often have late frosts, as we did this year. I don't have veggies because I'm mostly shade and rabbits. My late winter/early spring hellebores and scilla don't mind late frost and are the first up.
Response: You're welcome! 😊
Response: It's from a box I just received and every card in the box is not your usual postcard!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I enjoy choosing postcards for scavenger hunts. So that's a win-win!
Response: Those Sanrio fairy tales are new to you?!! You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. I'll try to remember that you like Kireiizuki the next time I send to you.
Response: You're so welcome!

Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad it finally arrived! I appreciate your telling me to wait for it to arrive.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them. For blind swaps I file the envelope with things I really like and hope me and my partner like the same things!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for going back and saving the rating again. I've learned over time that the Save glitch causes most late ratings.
Response: You're welcome. I'm still experimenting. I'm not sure how to make a letter fit so yours is an experiment. I didn't do pocket letters because I don't do ATCs but then I received one with resized greeting cards and found postcards just right.
Response: You're so welcome! Today I put on a long-sleeved shirt and cut the tops off Canadian thistles. I need to put markers in the ground to show me where they are so I can snip off new growth whenever a new leaf turns up.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Berlin is a great city.
Response: You're welcome. I write notes when I'm in the mood and have time to write them. That would be when it's raining or too hot to work outside. The never-ending list of projects is always good fodder for notes!
Response: You're so welcome! I hope you'll find those sheets useful!
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad you like them. Take care. Stay well.
Response: You're welcome. I wonder whether we could organize a Swap-bot group trip. Cheaper by the dozen and Africa - once you get there - is inexpensive. If we book flights now, it's just $1200 round trip. Yup, I'm browsing!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it arrived what with delays in mail. I received an envelope from you yesterday, probably Three Postcards in an Envelope #7J, from April.
Response: You're so welcome! Yes, that pouch is special. Enjoy everything. 🐰🐻🐱
Response: You're welcome. I'm baking Italian bread and when it comes out of the oven I'll go outside to move some plants.
Response: You're welcome. I hadn't thought about that getting lost in the mail - it rarely happens to me.
Response: You're welcome. I thought you might like those GOT postcards!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad my swap package brought joy to your rough patches.
Response: You're welcome. It's lovely to share my sense of humor with you!
Response: You're welcome. Only so much one can say on a postcard. My dad was one of the original scientists at JPL. When he was in graduate school, DOD offered him a research position or they would draft him.
Response: You're welcome. Last night I started compiling my plant list, including invasive plants. Because we are in an old neighborhood we have landscaping plants like honeysuckle shrubs now classified as invasive.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I use large memo sheets all the time and suspect others do as well. We are well. Greg turned in his grades yesterday. Looks like he will teach online in the fall too.
Response: You're welcome. That website helped me downsize some recipes. Now I'm testing homemade mug cake mixes to send in a box to my in-laws because that's the closest I'll get to baking for them.
Response: You're welcome. May has taken a break at the moment, with freezing temps at night. It'll be nice next week!

Response: You're welcome. Gourmet cooks - or self-confident competent cooks!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they spark joy!
Response: You're welcome. https://www.kingarthurflour.com has lots of excellent videos about bread baking.
Response: You're welcome. That was the last of my Lantern Press postcards. I've only found them at state and national parks.
Response: You're welcome. I think of a trip to Canada as a quick getaway from our current leaders in Washington, DC. I've wanted to visit the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver but there's not much trip planning going on just now.
Response: You're welcome. The paper pocket is a very simple origami cup. Copy and paste this link into your browser: https://www.origamiway.com/origami-cup.shtml
Response: Yes, isn't that a gem? I visited a friend in Las Vegas and we meandered the Strip. Postcards in the Coke store are too expensive but worth the extravagance!
Response: You're welcome. Yesterday I received a box of postcards I preordered on April 9th. I'm still waiting for a box I ordered in March because the publisher keeps pushing out the publication date. I'm glad I can get them. An independent bookstore where I buy boxes of postcards is closed now, for the duration.
Response: You're welcome. I wish I'd had a postcard from Wisconsin to send. I agree with its reputation of being the most boring state for long drives!
Response: You're so welcome. Thank you for hosting. Once I figured out how to manage all those partners I enjoyed filling envelopes!
Response: You're welcome and I'm glad you like them. I always enjoy a good scavenger hunt.
Response: I made it just for you, with all the food. I was anxious about how well it would travel and thought about putting it in another envelope - and then I came across that cello wrapper.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good challenge!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for hosting! Next time I send to you I'll ask about your new boxes. I have Lego Still Life and Marianne North on the way though Amazon now takes forever.
Response: You're welcome. He's busy and we're getting along well because I'm quiet when he's working. Pretty soon the weather will be nice and I can work outside and be as noisy as I want!
Response: You're welcome. I've sent quite a few Winnie-the-Pooh postcards for Postcrossing, for cheer. I've held back on Eeyore. I sent you a message with a link to the washi tape. You stay well too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm a fan of kokeshi too - I have several lined up along the back of my desk.
Response: You're so welcome. I collected all the pieces of paper before Pattie assigned partners so it was the luck of the draw for you.
Response: You're welcome. Not so many bird postcards the next time I send to you!
Response: You're welcome. I'll message you.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting such a sunny swap.
Response: I'm thrilled that I could make you giddy!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you understand about those cows. Milk really does taste better from happy cows who are dancing in meadows - and many people never have a chance to taste great milk and ice cream. Horizon Milk, though organic, is from a factory farm too.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like it!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you. I think we have many interests in common.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them. Thanks for hosting the swap and I liked your list.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad many are new to you. I don't buy as much as I have in the past and I think my older ones are new to people who joined Swap-bot and KSU more recently than I did.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the RAK new year's greetings. Those washi stickers are gorgeous!
Response: Lucky you - this swap traveled faster than most things I send to Canada! I'm always happy to share banknotes from my little pile of worthless Indian currency that cost me $100.

Response: You're welcome. Best wishes for the holidays.
Response: You're welcome. I love sharing cuteness of all sorts.
Response: You're welcome. I wish I could have found more boxes of them when I bought them.
Response: You're welcome. The surfbird was new to me too - such great surprises in sets of postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for participating in all the fun!
Response: And I can't even remember what I write in those notes - they are very much of the moment!

Response: I'm so glad you like it! I like spoiling you.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.

Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating.
Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad this traveled quickly to the Philippines - only two weeks after I mailed it!
Response: Thank you for the rating and for participating. Yes, people come and go in these swaps. Like the bags, it's sometimes easier to use the forum to keep them moving along.
Response: Great! I'm so glad you're participating.
Response: You're welcome. I'm always happy to share my stash with new people.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad your back to swapping.
Response: You're welcome. You did say you like cute kitties. 😼

Response: I'm glad its slower than slower trip to your home is most uncommon.
Response: I'm glad I could brighten your day - that postcard needed the perfect recipient too.

Response: You're welcome. Thank you for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. It's all about aspirational travel and my list is too long for my budget.
Response: You're so welcome. I had fun collecting and packing everything. Are you going to put a face on the poseable pumpkin?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they arrived safely. I'll put a comment on your profile about sending and rating to support your be patient message!
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun swapping with you.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.

Response: You're welcome. I had fun choosing them for you.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining the swap. I changed the swap description for R3 to say that you can address your postcards to anyone and also send more than one.
Response: You're welcome and thank you. I look forward to the beginning of the school year because then I'll know how he really is.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. That stop on my road trip was the first time I'd been to a dairy farm tourist attraction though not my first dairy farm. My grandfather was a dairy farmer.
Response: You're welcome. I put collected the sticker flakes before you assigned partners. Will you send the postcards, such them away, or post them on a wall?
Response: I'm glad you like the postcards. The staples came out of my spouse yesterday and now he can do everything except move furniture.

Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I hope you had a chance to send along you extra postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I knew that Ferris wheel was perfect for you. I like it when that happens.

Response: You're welcome. The whole set of postcards has photos of people I don't recognize and when I look the back I think, Oh, of course!
Response: We are watching snow melt slowly during the day and freeze into sheets of ice at night, though all slowly so we don't have flooding. Friends ten miles to the south have wet basements.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed my letter and the tidbits from my kawaii stash.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: I'm happy to share a love of Wanroom with you. I would enjoy a real human-sized Wanroom chair. If we get to S I can use it again, for sofa.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you love it.
Response: I'm a little superstitious. The second envelope was the charm that made the first envelope arrive. Enjoy all the postcards.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart. 💚
Response: You're welcome. I remembered your Fb post about wanting the sticker sack because you liked the package.
Response: You're welcome. I'm impressed that you recognize the washi tape. I had to stop buying it for a while because the collection outgrew my storage box. I find the San-x tapes aren't sticky.
Response: You're welcome. Good thing I didn't send your Holstein cows in Wisconsin postcards. Actually I've not bought any in a while.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Did you watch the videos?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: I'm surprised the postcard took 25 days to arrive. With Postcrossing, postcards to Belgium are registered in 8 to 10 days.
Response: You're welcome. I learned that they built Taliesin West because Wright had recurring pneumonia in Wisconsin winters. Now all we do is get the vaccine.
Response: You're welcome. I need to do something with all those incoming sticker flakes!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all of them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy to share those cats.
Response: You're welcome. Temps warmed up then dropped again so there's lots of ice and now on top of that many inches of new snow and more expected. I ought not bake too much when life is fairly sedentary at the moment.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, awful weather. I drove back from central Wisconsin early this morning to be home before the snow - and I almost made it. At the moment we are struggling with a logo, and an artist who thinks a logo is good art.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for hosting a fun swap - and you're spoiling me too. But isn't that the fun of swapping?
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad many are new to you.
Response: I'm sure Trader Joe's is the only place you can find organic toaster pastries, and likely all sold out as were falafel mix and tahini.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy filling slams but wouldn't start one because they are exhausting!
Response: You're welcome. Don't you just love that little ghost that is actually a dollop of whipped cream?
Response: You're welcome. Mountain lions are not dangerous to humans and avoid them, even in the hills around LA where they've been spotted. They are dangerous to deer, a good dinner for them, and I think that's okay because deer are too abundant.
Response: Your welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad you were my send-to partner. I had fun filling all the empty spaces in your slam - I like being last. Thank you for joining my swap. Have a great holiday. ** Update 12/25. That sticker sheet is an old one from my cache of sticker sheets. It looked perfect for you. Have yourself a merry Christmas.
Response: I found lots of videos about building bread ovens and pizza ovens with bricks in our back yard. Too bad my spouse thinks it's not a very good idea. He's probably right.
Response: You're welcome. I wanted to send that postcard to someone who would enjoy its weirdness.
Response: You're very welcome!
Response: Thank you for voting! I have many ferns in our shady garden though only two kinds: Ostrich and Interrupted. Ostrich ferns are taking over everywhere so I put cardboard and raked leaves over the largest area.
Response: You're welcome. I'm catching up now, with loads of laundry and stacks of mail.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you had fun guessing. I sent off many sticker flake bags, on their way or home. I got them all out the door and *then* another package arrived from Pattie.
Response: Awww... you're so sweet. You're welcome.
Response: I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're so welcome
Response: Your'e welcome. Thanks for moving them along.
Response: You're welcome. Once I've published that website I'll set up a private swap for sticker flakes.
Response: If I recall, it's one batch of food with faces and another of animals being food which isn't the same as food with faces. About 20 toasts, all different, looked cute on Amazon then were too small to send naked. Good swap tags.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap. It was perfect timing, after I'd received an order that accidentally included a duplicate.
Response: Thanks for hosting a fun swap - I gathered what I could find before I signed up - I'm glad you liked all the black and white -
Response: You're welcome. I wanted to let you know how good my travels were this summer. In October I'm heading east and will take a few days camping on the way. Not coming back - it's too cold.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'll keep those sticker flake bags moving along.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: I'm so glad you like everything. Your profile is a great inspiration for gathering goodies for you.
Response: You're welcome. The studio where I take yoga has lots of different classes, and some teachers mix different styles of yoga in one class. I'm taking gentle yoga and stretching classes like yin must now. When I'm able I'll add Vinyasa classes.
Response: You're welcome and you're welcome. It's a quiet summer for me - I'm going to Chicago for a long weekend to visit my brother in a couple of weeks. Greg is taking my shift in the mini doughnut booth this year because I'm not quite up to six hours of standing. In October I'm heading east for three weeks, camping in TN, NC, and VA, hopefully avoiding leaf peepers, then heading north to visit family and friends.
Response: You're welcome. Is that Caitlin who said cool?!!
Response: I had a lovely time up north. Except for all the bugs. And no showers. The lakes were too cold for swimming, for me. I came home with layers on layers of insect repellant and sunscreen, and not too many mosquito bites. I've had West Nile virus so I'm not worried about that.
Response: You're so welcome. I enjoy finding postcards for all the wacky holidays.
Response: You're welcome. Watching the corn grow tells me how far along summer is. Luther Seminary has put 15 acres of woods at the end of our block up for sale. There goes the neighborhood.
Response: You're welcome. The weather here is hot and wet. The cornfields in our neighborhood (agricultural experimental fields) already have tassels. Rain and heat make corn grow faster.
Response: I was working on menus for my trip next week. The order of the meals depends on how well the ingredients keep. At the end of the week we'll have an Indian dinner from excellent ready-made packets!
Response: You're welcome. I'm working on the menus today and we'll have readymade Indian packet dinners the last night out. They keep well.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! Keep moving, keep moving comes to mind.
Response: I'm glad you like it. It's one of those cards I set aside for just the right person.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad it intrigues you. I look forward to your opening everything.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. That one really looked like space to me! I learned recently that the eclipse stamps are heat sensitive. Hold your warm thumb over the glossy part of the stamp to see another image. The new popsicle stamps are watermelon-scented!
Response: You're so welcome. I had fun choosing them for you.
Response: You're welcome! Follow me on Instagram - same ID as I have here - you'll see my photos from this trip and the upcoming trips.
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt.
Response: We've got flowers! We've got flowers! Crocuses and scale are in bloom and the buds on trees are getting fat. There's still a little snow in shady places.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt. And I think you'd lost a few to a hurricane the last time you were my send-to partner.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: I'm glad I made you laugh!
Response: You're welcome! So many cats on your profile pointed me in that direction.
Response: You're welcome. My father grew up on a dairy farm and I visited my grandparents there when I was growing up. Dad and his only sib, my aunt didn't stay on the farm.
Response: You're welcome. We are healthy though buried under 24" of new snow that fell over the weekend. I'm getting stir crazy! About the octopus: I left you a comment with a link to the set.
Response: I chose those flakes for you so you can host the swap again...
Response: You're welcome. One can tart up tuna noodle casserole so it's pretty good.
Response: You're welcome. Have you always lived in Waldoboro?
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy the challenge of a good scavenger hunt.
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm so glad they finally landed in your mailbox!
Response: You're welcome. We expect 8 inches of snow Friday and another 15 inches Saturday. My spouse hopes it'll turn into rain before it gets here, all the better to wash away the snow that's still here.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun making a menu for the swap.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun choosing them for your.
Response: You're welcome. I nearly missed it too!
Response: You're welcome. I like Bauhaus textiles. The photo nicely represents their colors.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything.
Response: In the sky is correct! You know those Halloween cards with ghosts flying in the sky over haunted houses...? That's how they got into the pile.
Response: It's a lovely challenge. Thank you for hosting. And next time I'll take a photo of the envelope because I don't remember what I sent! I look forward to Part 2.
Response: Thank you and you're welcome. I enjoy these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I kept that postcard to send to someone who would appreciate it with me.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed the swap. Thanks for hosting it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I didn't send holiday items! I slipped on ice and broke my leg in the end of January. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I slipped on ice and broke my leg in the end of January. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again.
Response: You're welcome. I'm just now getting caught up and swapping again
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm happy to move them along.
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy that it arrived in your mailbox so quickly, a week after I sent it. I guess your postal service is catching up.
Response: You're welcome. What goes around comes around!
Response: You're welcome. I aim to please.
Response: You're welcome! Be sure to make lots of time to go to museums in Paris. Every one is a gem.
Response: Last weekend I headed south, to Chicago where it was 25° warmer than our hometown. My spouse stayed home to make sure the pipes didn't freeze. Now it's balmy, above freezing!!!
Response: We have a few days of balmy weather, with temps above freezing. We make our trip tomorrow, a four hour drive the Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to see my in-laws.
Response: I'm delighted that you're delighted! A wool sweater, wool socks, and a wool blanket will help you through those freezing temps better than fleece. Friends who live in Israel without heat do this. When I go in the winter I always take along a wool sweater.
Response: You're welcome. We have balmy weather for a few days, above freezing!!!
Response: You're welcome. I buy the big box of little portion-control bags at Costco because we love them too.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it's *real* happy-making mail. And I know exactly what you mean by sending well before the send by date. I'm still waiting for two US cards sent on the send by date, December 31st.
Response: You're welcome. When I cut that one, I thought how nice it would be to make more recipe postcards that way.
Response: You're welcome. I'm also active in Kawaii Swapping USA.
Response: You're welcome. I know mail to Canada is slow... postcards to Germany arrive more quickly than postcards I send to Canada!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Now I've seen your Xmas tree! I wondered if you hung an artificial tree from the ceiling and whether it was right side up or upside down -
Response: You're welcome. My husband likes our low key Chanukah - lighting candles and chocolate gelt - gold coins. Now we are watching our pipes since temps are heading down to -20°F. This morning at 10 it was -15°F.
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I didn't notice the details in the image. Eveleth, MN is home to the United State Hockey Hall of Fame.
Response: You're welcome. Happy Christmas, Pattie & Erica!
Response: You're so welcome. Happy Christmas!
Response: You're welcome. It's nice to get lots of mail. I hope it's no more trouble to open another envelope.(Joke)
Response: You're welcome. I've had the pad of write and fold stationery for years and realized recently it's nice for blank postcard swaps. I would love to stop and meet you!
Response: You're welcome. Your well-filled profile helped 😉
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun to pull from way back in my collection to choose something for you.
Response: You're welcome and yes it was the second night. I have beeswax candles this year and they burn nicely.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for inviting me to join your lovely group. I'm enjoying it.
Response: You're welcome. Happy holidays - and best wishes for days until...
Response: I'm always happy to share a laugh! Now I'm collecting cardboard for the next round. It's not so easy because I buy few prepared foods.
Response: Neither had I, until I came across the set of 100 postcards in a remainder bin. Every single card in the set is wonderful!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the hearts. Gotta love all those pictographs!
Response: Thank you for the rating. Better late than never.
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm glad to make you glad!
Response: Airbnb is the best way to find lodging in NYC, especially if you want to stay in the Bronx. Find a place located near a subway station rather than driving. PM me when you're ready to go if you'd like help making plans. I've lived and worked there, and we visited often when I was growing up.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, we have a good time on Thanksgiving, with some visiting family that we don't see often enough.
Response: I'm glad it peaked your interest! Merry Christmas and best wishes for the coming year.
Response: You're welcome. Best wishes for all the holidays!
Response: And a bit silly. 😄 You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: Thank you for the rating
Response: No problem. I know you've been busy moving and such.
Response: Thanks for the heart. The dishes are all done now so I can catch up on everything else!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome! Actually I tried to be a bit more subtle: Grayscale animals! (It was test kitchen the other day. I made maple and pumpkin custard to take to a dinner party, in prep for our nearly gluten-free holiday. It was excellent.)
Response: You're welcome. The outcome of the first experiment on Friday was excellent. I took maple pumpkin custard (gluten-free) to a dinner party and everyone thought it fabulous.)
Response: Yes! Though I might hoard leftovers. Will you be away over the holiday?
Response: I'm glad. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Your'e welcome.
Response: I'm still raking, more this afternoon when it warms up a bit. Our neighbor's silver maple finally started dropping its leaves last week so that's more raking.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I thought it perfect for you. I think it heralds the beginning of graphic novels, and Spiegelman's Maus series was among the first. (I saved an image of it.)
Response: You're welcome. The card I sent you is from a set of 100 I was thrilled to find recently.
Response: You're welcome. The temple was one of my favorite stops on our trip to Japan. Excellent food too.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Yes. I thought it was all too timely.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Are the oak trees with large leaves live oaks? My sister has a huge one in her yard in Texas.
Response: You're welcome. Those bento ones are a favorite of mine too.
Response: You;re welcome. I'm glad you like the postcard. We had snow yesterday and temperatures around freezing - and lots of leaves still on the trees. Everyone says the worst was the Halloween blizzard of 1991. Kids couldn't trick or treat.
Response: You're welcome. I had a piece of birthday cake for breakfast this morning. 8-D
Response: Yes! It's Halloween. I've bags of candy hidden away so we don't start in on them early.
Response: You're so welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sharing postcards from my large horde.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. And now there's #MeToo.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Sigh. Turns out the door-to-door guys were all wrong. CenturyLink doesn't have fiber optic service in our neighborhood. I'm composing an irate letter!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm so glad you like it! I've been hoarding several for people who will especially appreciate them.
Response: You're welcome. I've a few more days in sandals now because it got warm again though it's cold enough at night so we have more autumn colors every day.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad the linen ones - your favorites - made it through the heavy weather. Let me know if there's *anything* I can do to help, e.g., a care package.
Response: I thought you'd like the Nyankoland stickers! I'm glad I could share them with you.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for hosting all the swaps to keep bags moving along.
Response: You're right! ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ Thanks for joining my swap!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, it is a different take on the world.
Response: You're welcome. I've never actually seen a painting by Frida Kahlo: only in books and postcards.
Response: I love those vintage images. They give me a feel of the continuity of the fair. I don't get quite the same feeling when I volunteer for a day at a mini donut booth, with those donut-making robots!
Response: You're welcome. The fair is over now, until next August!
Response: You're welcome. And I'm glad you like the stickers too.
Response: You're welcome. Now we know that mail can go overnight from me to you. Tomorrow I go to work at Grandstand Mini Donuts.
Response: You're welcome. I appreciate lots of great photos of the eclipse people are posting online, especially because we had clouds and rain rather than a view of the eclipse.
Response: Braque is a favorite of mine.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad there are black and white drawings in that Disney set for this series of swaps.
Response: You're welcome. What I noticed in India was how quite it got during the eclipse, both people and animals.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. The real painting is beautiful too. 😊
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. All the food ones I have on hand...
Response: You're welcome. I'm sure sharing is why there are so many pages in each memo pad.
Response: You're welcome. I'm ground-averse too, for sleeping, which is why the rooftop tent appeals to me. They come with nice foam mattresses and I can add a memory foam topper. It'll all stay in the tent when I collapse it to break camp.
Response: You're welcome! Thank you for the effusive comment!
Response: You're welcome. Yes, I saw your FB photo. It's good that there's lots of ice in TX!
Response: You're welcome. It is about noon now, temps in the 60s and I'm listening to machines lay down pavement on our street.
Response: You're welcome. The most important packing trick is a stack that stays stacked in transit so corners don't bend.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything that I can't remember putting into the package!
Response: You're welcome 🖒🖒ðŸ‘
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks for the speedy rating!
Response: You're welcome. You too might find an octagon house near you! Are you near Clay, MS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_octagon_houses
Response: Email me the photo and I'll see whether that came from an open stack I have. It might be from my bowl of received sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome. The zucchini bread was great, though I think many of the ladies don't eat carbs!
Response: You're welcome. I should probably keep my incoming sticker flakes in a covered jar rather than a bowl that tips over every once in a great will.
Response: You're welcome! The only reason I noticed was because it was in the queue next to an unrated swap that's headed to Peru.
Response: It's one of my favorites from the Tate.
Response: You're so welcome. And I look forward to solving the mystery.
Response: You're welcome. When you go to New England, you'll find lots of great antique malls in New Hampshire.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like all those camels!
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're lots welcome! This swap was the perfect opportunity to send a B&W card from my Disney box.
Response: I'm glad you like the card - that set is almost all gone - and thanks for your traveling advice. At the moment, I'm wondering if I can drive to Costa Rica.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the quick rating.
Response: You're welcome. Here's a link to copy and paste for information about the Concord writers: http://historyofmassachusetts.org/concord-writers/ (They don't actually call it a trail.)
Response: Yes, yoga. Though it doesn't burn as many calories as gardening. You're welcome. Double hearts: it's the thought that counts.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're right! The theme is cats. When I was collecting sticker flakes for the blue and yellow swaps, I realized I have quite a few cats, probably because I love maneki-neko.
Response: You're welcome. Now that our temps are in the 90s my planting is on hold too. I need to keep the bulbs healthy in the meantime.
Response: You're welcome! In the end we didn't go out. I spent most of the day emailing people to sort out an unfortunate situation. Hopefully we'll take care of that next week. Then we grilled a nice steak for dinner.
Response: You're welcome. Not so much yard work this week - it's too hot and humid.
Response: You're welcome. Enjoy!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks so much for hosting the swap.
Response: Impressive? Do you mean emptying so many sacks? Now if we can figure out how to avoid receiving the same flakes we send...
Response: You're welcome. Most of them actually go back a year or more.
Response: Your'e welcome. I'm glad you like them. I hope the rest of my summer measures up to that early trip!
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy being in touch with everyone.
Response: You're so welcome. I'm glad the postcard arrive safe and sound.
Response: You're welcome. I had a lovely trip seeing family and longtime friends, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Response: You're welcome. Did you notice that it's a redhead?
Response: You're welcome. At first people were few and far between, then I found a crowd.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. It's finally spring here in Minnesota - I thought it would never come.
Response: Last night we went to a friend's home for Shabbat dinner and I took a chocolate cake, the Chocolate Dump Cake, a recipe from NYT Cooking. It travels well *and* it tastes wonderful. The icing is melted chocolate chips and sour cream.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Do you know the saggy baggy elephant story?
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. This is the last renovating this year. The other day they started tearing up the streets in our neighborhood to replace water mains and pavement and won't be done until August. The rest of this year's projects will wait until next year.
Response: You're welcome. I was thrilled to share such an important cooking discovery.
Response: You're welcome. I know you'll always rate!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for hosting the swap. Tonight we're having potatoes in some form. Maybe soup? Then matzoh the next night. I rotate carbs.
Response: You're welcome. This is the last swap for me for a while. Having painters all over the house will keep me busy through the end of February. Thanks for hosting this.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the cats are easy to please.
Response: You're welcome. And I'm glad you're okay with extras.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy a good challenge.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, they are so kind!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I suspect you might when I chose it.
Response: You're welcome. I grew up in Wilmington, DE and snow was a big event there. When I moved here, I learned that snowmobiles were invented here. Also Bobcats. People love their machines.
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you.
Response: You're welcome. If I could find tooth ones on a sticker sheet I would get one for my dentist whom I love.
Response: You're welcome. Happy winter!
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I knew that postcard was perfect for you. It's a poster from a fabulous collection of Modernist art located here in Minneapolis.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Staying warm means hauling around 25 pounds of coat, boots, wool accessories, ... and under that several more layers. It's exercise actually.
Response: You're welcome. I like little for Chanukah too, to remind me that it's a little holiday. We like the holiday lights around here because our days are so short. I have a string of blue LED lights that we "light."
Response: You're welcome. I went several months without buying sticker sacks because I wasn't seeing new ones in the places where I shop. Just recently I bought several from an etsy shop.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. May you find lots of light ðŸ®ðŸ®ðŸ® in this season of short days.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad to make your holiday a bit more merry!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sharing kawaii.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. Vintage is what happens when I'm clearing out odds and ends.
Response: You're so welcome. Next round there will be lots of new ones.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart and for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. Yes, Canton, TX is quite a ways from your home.
Response: You're welcome. Just don't forget about them! After my mother died we found stashes of gifts she bought throughout the year, going back several years. We had no problem sorting out who they were for. Too bad she wasn't around to enjoy the fun.
Response: You're welcome. We had a busy Thanksgiving. People dropped in throughout the day, around their own holiday dinner plans, and we were glad to see everyone. Six for dinner, and many for brunch the next day too.
Response: You're welcome. Your handwriting is lovely and I'm sure Union Star doesn't have a store like Wet Paint. I had fun choosing pens for you.
Response: You're welcome. I'm in the shopping and housecleaning phase of preparations.
Response: Whew! I'm glad we are good to go now. Matryoshka deco tape looked to me like the way to go. Does anyone ever ask for matryoshka tats?
Response: You're welcome. The cat flakes are from a Mind Wave series, Caller Collection.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I love nearly every postcard in the book, Posters from the British Empire. I wrote your address on two cards for the swap and just sent you both. So I sent four for the swap. :-D
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sending and receiving these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. I look forward to seeing what you send me.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy sending for this swap.
Response: You're welcome. I'm waiting for our electrician at the moment and following up on lots of details.
Response: You're welcome. This month we are reading "Brown Girl Dreaming" by Jacqueline Woodson. It's won all sorts of awards.
Response: Was there a problem with what I sent you? I wonder because it's been more than a week since I sent it.
Response: Was your visit to MOA tourism? Local people told me there were charter flights from Tokyo to visit the mall as well as busloads from all over. It's calmer now and, sadly, Sanrio went out of business.
Response: Good good. Pattie sent me those seasonal goodies.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Mail to Canada seems to be moving along more quickly now.
Response: You're welcome. I have that box of 100 Dr Who postcards and when I noticed you like him...
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. I'm looking forward to this long running fun.
Response: Such a coincidence! You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Our famers market has apples and winter squash and Brussel sprouts now and limps along until Christmas with Christmas trees and greens in December.
Response: You're welcome. I glad you like the swap.
Response: I'm so glad and you're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Your answer is 95% correct. Speech bubbles represent thought, with bubbles between the words and the head. Speech balloons like the ones I selected represent words spoken. I know this because I work with graphic designers on website design.
Response: You're welcome. There's a very tiny audience for Julius Ceasar. I know because that postcard is from my trip to Germany in 2014.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Vogue is known for being ahead of the times!
Response: You're welcome. Next time you go to Boston be sure to visit the museum. They have an exhibit of glass flowers: 3D botanical prints that I first saw as a child. They recently cleaned and made new displays for them and the exhibit is gorgeous.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for your cute comment and the heart.
Response: thanks for the rating and the heart
Response: You're welcome. My trip to Germany seems long ago. It's about time for me to head overseas again.
Response: Sounds like I should find Dory even without kids.
Response: I'm glad you like these charts - I do too. I buy big boxes of postcards I like and hope the recipients do too.
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're welcome. I always enjoy sending to you!
Response: You're welcome. I've enjoyed learning about the middle of the US since I moved here.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: I'm glad you like the postcard. I'm trying to figure out which main road - did you live on Fairview? And yes, as always, volunteering was fun.
Response: Yuuuuure welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Response: Interesting. When I was in NYC in June crews were getting ready to film at the natural history museum, making navigation a challenge.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Since you're local, i.e., not international, I kept adding to the stack :-).
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I've watched operations in the past. I'll visit the fair on Sunday and am still thinking about what I'd like to see.
Response: You're welcome. Do come visit when the fair is on one year!
Response: It _was_ crazy. And the mom-to-be was only virtually at the shower. Her water broke 5 weeks before her due date. She participated by texts and photos, likely a relief to her boredom!
Response: Thanks for catching that and rating me. I was just a day away from nagging you!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. I actually bought the pc book at Kew which is amazing and yes we took the Underground.
Response: Yes green! Because leaves are beginning to change color. Winter is long here in Minnesota.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome. I know exactly what you mean. I found Swap-bot when Postcrossing was offline for a week and I was going through postcard withdrawal.
Response: I'm glad you like them!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the rating. Are you all settled now?
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: I saw the first several with people from work. We closed the department and went to the first show, a matinee, of the first film. We worked in astrophysics, on satellites.
Response: You're welcome! I send more than the swap count so that my partners can find ones they love close to the swap count. No one ever loves all of them!
Response: You're welcome. That postcard came to mind immediately when I read your profile.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you like what I sent! Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'm busy thinking about the dish I'll take to share. I must remember to keep it simple.
Response: I'm so glad you like everything. As I mentioned in my note, it was an opportunity to de-dupe my stash a bit. And it's tempting to fill up those flat rate boxes!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. When I read about your liking wading birds on your profile I chose this to send rather than the postcard I chose when I signed up for the swap.
Response: Yes it was a one-stamp swap! Henry James is the new 3 ounce stamp. And I too was surprised that I had an animal with an umbrella. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. I'm relieved that it did turn up and happy that you like what I sent.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome & thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're welcome! One ounce plus packaging ships as two ounces. It took some thought to keep it at two ounces, which means without bumps. I'm glad you like all the large memos.
Response: You're welcome. Lancaster is nice and the campus is lovely. My niece liked the (male) tour guide. In the end, I don't think we'll get her out of the upper Midwest for college.
Response: You're welcome. There is lots of regret here about what happened and discussions about what to do. For one thing, our city doesn't have oversight of the police department and more scrutiny is the minimum for now.
Response: You're welcome and I'm glad you like the postcard. I had fun reading your profile and choosing a card for you.
Response: Thanks for the prompt rating
Response: You're welcome. My niece is from Arpin, Wisconsin, and the nearest "city" is Stevens Point, the city where my husband and her dad grew up.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. And you now know USPS forwarding works.
Response: You're welcome. It's from one of my favorite postcard sets, of fantasy book covers. They are all wonderful and I have only three left now.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I went for tricky this time: they are all washi paper stickers.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you liked everything. I had fun taking my niece out of her comfort zone in central Wisconsin.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for the heart. I had fun making the postcard.
Response: You're welcome! As I said, the selection is from the other half of my open sticker sacks, and I opened several more for the two 100 sticker flake swaps. And yes, the trip was fabulous, given that I was traveling with a teen who questions everything.
Response: You're welcome! As I said, it's half of my open sticker sacks, and I opened a couple more for the swap. Yes, I had a great time back east. It was more sightseeing than is usual for me, with my niece coming along.
Response: Will you have time to take some economics and political science classes? My coursework in economics makes me think quite differently about food. I wish we could have a long chat sometime.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything and that both arrived together. The difference in postage costs was > $1 so sending them separately made sense.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. I'm trying to wrap up all my open swaps and archive them before I head back east in a couple of weeks. My mind is already there I think.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you love zombie rabbits - they aren't my most favorite. And may your journal be happy too -
Response: You're right: just sweets. I wasn't feeling devious when I put it together. The garden has several days of gentle rain and the lilies of the valley are beginning to bloom. I think the lilacs now blooming are a bit earlier than usual, after a mild winter and several weeks of hot weather.
Response: You're sparkly welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for joining the swap. This is about as crafty as I get.
Response: Maybe your next career is opening an excellent pizza place. I'm glad you like what I sent and I enjoy swapping with you too.
Response: You're welcome. I hope you visit New England soon. It's a great place to learn about the US.
Response: You're welcome. It was a very special trip: our hosts in Spain took us places regular tourists don't see.
Response: You're welcome. It sounds like you had a quick trip. I've glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. You're lucky to have feeders. Too many neighbors let their cats run wild for us to have a bird feeder. ðŸ¦
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart and the really quick rating!
Response: You're welcome. I wish Japan was an easy trip for me like it is for you! I enjoyed Tokyo and Kyoto and want to go back.
Response: You're welcome. People around here say the Mississippi is just a river like people back east say the Atlantic is just an ocean. Distance makes each more iconic.
Response: You're right and you're welcome. Of course I'll continue to host!
Response: You're welcome. I might need to do the extra-swap sending to lessen the load on my desk.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like everything. My packing in smaller parcels is to keep everything from shifting and getting corners bent. And our messages back and forth are a huge help.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. And a special thanks for your kind words.
Response: You're welcome. I'm not sure I saw that exact painting. I will just need to go back and look for it. After I visit a few places in the Southern Hemisphere.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the great comment. I'm glad you like them.
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. Sometimes ratings get stuck and don't turn up in the sender's ratings. Thanks for taking care of it.
Response: You're welcome. Where I bought the self-inking return address stamp: http://www.papersource.com/personalized_gifts/custom_stamps.html and they are 25% off now.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I really appreciate your prompt rating.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I have a whole box of fruits ðŸŒ. When I lost my mother, the Jewish rituals of mourning, good friends, and a good book helped me after her unexpected death. May you find peace with your memories of her. This is the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Not_Now,_When%3F_(novel)
Response: You're welcome. At some point, several years ago, I bought the Pomegranate bargain box of postcards - such a deal! Since I was receiving many in swaps, I put the best like this one away to use later. (About half the box went to Goodwill.) Now it's later and they came out of storage.
Response: I feel like having this re-rated - from 5 with a heart and a nice comment on March 15th - is petty after I went to the trouble of resending the swap with tracking.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: Thanks for the rating
Response: You're welcome. That's from a set I enjoy sending from. They are quintessentially midwestern.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. That postcard is one of my favorite O'Keeffe postcards.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the second one didn't come back to me!
Response: You're welcome. I'm happy to have amazed you!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I was waiting for a swap for notorious face on a postcard but that never turned up.
Response: You're welcome. I made a last-minute change of my plans, just for you.
Response: Me too! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. It's very much a MN art card: hot dish and almost Betty Crocker.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad the second time is the charm.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the hearts.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I hit the sweet spot!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap and the quick rating.
Response: You're welcome. It was a nice swap to put together and to receive.
Response: You're welcome. I have fun decorating envelopes. I need to draw down that bowl of sticker flakes _somehow_
Response: You're welcome. Half Price Books has all sorts of Pomegranate remainders. I was happy to find puffins, 20 for $4.95. I went back for another box and had to settle for boats.
Response: You're welcome. Choices are a bit random. I have a box of open sticker sacks and go through them in order. I dropped the box the other day and now the order is even more random. I like the challenge of flat packing.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome - you are the perfect sort of person to whom to send it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad the resolution and printing were good enough for you to see the detail.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Your drawings are so original - I wish I could do that rather than just use all those stickers.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I love ukiyo-e prints.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: I love traveling too! Thanks for joining my swap and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I think I'm a paper engineer at heart. The problem that got me thinking: I really didn't want yet another bags swap to go large envelope rate.
Response: You're welcome. I was thrilled to find the perfect card for this swap!
Response: You're welcome. I'm not sure how to manage postcards I receive in blank swaps, short of labeling them all with the sender's ID. I'm glad you have a good solution. Cold weather is good - it kills off all sorts of vermin!
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. A Valentine's Day heart about now?
Response: You're welcome. My grandmother had lots of in-all seriousness witty sayings like that. I think she never realized she was quotable.
Response: You're welcome. It's 2°F at the moment. We aren't walking after dinner and won't until it's a wee bit warmer. A couple of times a week I walk in the Mall of America with a friend, before the stores open.
Response: You're welcome. I couldn't find a book Valentine! I will look for 'The Book of Lost Things.'
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I am driving south, to TX around the same time that you're heading north. I hope I don't run into heavy spring weather and tornadoes that are increasingly common down there.
Response: Thank you for rating my postcard.
Response: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm so glad! Thanks for the prompt rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. This was from one of those rare postcard books where *every* postcard is great.
Response: I'm glad you like the packing. I am an engineer at heart, and have an efficient packing gene (from my father). I am always looking for ways to improve the packing. I'm glad you like all my new memos.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Can I go to the Tetons with you? I understand it's part of the loop through Yellowstone and Glacier. I'll make the trip one of these years.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm sure your kids can figure that out!
Response: I'm so glad it arrived. I worried about it. And I hope you enjoy your adult coloring group.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes to send along with the swaps. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome. You said you like snow... We have had less than a foot so far this winter. If we don't get more it's a dry spring for crops.
Response: You're welcome. It's always fun swapping with you.
Response: I'm so glad all my cheer helped, as intended. Let me know if you need more.
Response: I'm glad you're in love with everything. Thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad they go with your collection. Now, if I could remember what I sent.... 🗃
Response: You had a full mailbox today! You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: Yes! It's strawberries. Last time I did this swap, my partner couldn't guess my theme so I was more straightforward this time. I didn't include strawberry-scented girls. I'm glad you like everything and thanks for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad I caught you as partner in one of your few swaps.
Response: You're welcome. Coming from the East Coast, it never occurred to me there would be lighthouses on lakes. Turns out there are quite a few on the Great Lakes.
Response: I'm glad you like everything - seems that mail goes west faster than it goes east (to me). I look forward to the arrival of your envelope.
Response: You're welcome. Our trip is in June, hopefully before it's too hot.
Response: You're welcome. Now that I've sent all the postcards from that trip, I want to go back and see Jane Austen's rural haunts.
Response: So sorry. I wrote a note listing all the categories and cards and thought I put it in the envelope. I'm glad you like them. Perhaps it's a fun puzzle? (I'm hosting a guess the theme swap :-)
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Okay, now I know what vintage kawaii is - not in this decade, before 2011, right? You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I look forward to swapping with you again too.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for hosting the swap. I went through my whole box of open sticker sacks - there are about 60 at the moment - and found every bit of faux postage in the box. And using that stamp show stamp was intentional. I'm glad you noticed that detail.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like that iconic view of Berlin.
Response: You're welcome. I made littles piles of colors before I signed up for the swap, to make sure I had everything. I left the tiny bags on my desk and added to them as I came across more stickers of the same colors.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I could broaden your sticker sack collection.
Response: You're welcome and thank you for your good wishes. We mostly see lady slippers in bloom at the arboretum. We've seen them blooming in the wild once.
Response: We are coming out of days of below zero temps. Fortunately we are between semesters and didn't need to go out. I'm looking forward to a warm day tomorrow - a high of 4°F.
Response: You're welcome. My pre-FB food diary helped me on this one. Now everything good lands in FB photos.
Response: You're welcome. It's nice to swap with you again. I look forward to more. I have some fabulous Buddha postcards from our trip to Japan. They need to travel in an envelope because the back has lots of good commentary. They'll wind up in your mailbox one of these days.
Response: You're welcome. The city art museum has a good collection of Native American art. Too bad it's only displayed in bits and pieces.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. It should be easy to find - it's a classic.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad I could send you all that joy! I enjoy using sticker flakes. They land on each envelope somewhat randomly, from a bowl on my desk.
Response: Thank you for a healthy breakfast!
Response: You're welcome. I've been waiting for the right swap for that postcard!
Response: You're welcome. Are you all done with your holiday baking? LOL in MN is Land O Lakes. Outside of MN people see only the butter. It's a large dairy farmers' coop and manufactures dairy products like the cheese powder for Cheetos. A noble business I'd say.
Response: You're welcome. I had fun meeting the challenge. Thanks for hosting the swap.
Response: Thank you for the lovely compliment. Happy New Year
Response: You are so welcome! Happy new year.
Response: You're welcome. Happy New Year
Response: You're so welcome! Happy New Year
Response: You're welcome. I always have fun choosing and packing these kinds of swaps. And it was a nice break from studying for finals.

Response: You're welcome. I aim to please.
Response: You are SO welcome! I'm glad you like it. Thank you for hosting a lovely break from school work for me.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the prompt rating. I've had that washi tape for several years. I have some Rilikkuma tape too, from the same manufacturer. It was a tiny slice of time when they were available.
Response: Rockwell is iconic, isn't he? Life is a little calmer now because I finished classes and final exams and grading is all done. On to other things this spring, with more time for swapping.
Response: You're welcome. Sending a few off means it's okay to buy a few more. :-)
Response: You're welcome. I sent you more sticker flakes yesterday and you might have a chance of keeping a few. Some are for scrapbooks.
Response: I'm glad you love the postcard. I've had it for a while, saving it for the right person, one who would appreciate it as I do.
Response: You're welcome. I've just recently learned all about adult coloring books and didn't realize the postcard book (a gift from my sister) was from an adult coloring book.
Response: I was last in Paris more than 20 years ago - I'm about ready to go now and find the answer to your question (I'm glad you like the postcard)
Response: You're welcome. Now I'm dropping off the radar for a while. I have homework problems to finish.
Response: You're welcome. I try to rise to the packaging challenge 8-D
Response: The stickers on the back are the ones that would have gone over the map. Thanks for hosting another fun swap.
Response: You're so welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you more-than-like them.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome, sugar. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. What can I say - I'm a science geek from childhood because my father was a scientist and always explained everything.
Response: You're welcome. I always feel lucky when I can hit more than one item one someone's wish list as well as the swap requirements. Norman Rockwell and Xmas, even though it's out of season :0)
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad you like it. It was the bluest postcard I had on hand. It came in a set of postcards, all great shots of the AGO architecture.
Response: You're welcome. I saw an exhibit of Monet's Giverny paintings - the water lilies - all in one place, in NY. It was fabulous.
Response: You're welcome. In a while it won't be so easy to send lots new to you :-).
Response: You're welcome. I always appreciate people who appreciate the effort I put into swaps I send. Thank you.
Response: You're welcome. It's was the wateriest postcard in my collection. No problem - I expect vacation days in the summer.
Response: You're welcome. I love using all the stickers I receive. So far the bowl fills up more quickly than I can empty it. I might need to start doing backs too.
Response: You're welcome. Hand stamping? Having postage stamps hand cancelled? Hand cancelled postcards go through machines anyway, in our area, for sorting. Some postcards travel better than others.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Dachau is quite a sad place. It was a hard place to visit and our memories are the memorial.
Response: You're welcome. Sadly, I did not have a good view Mt. Fuji when I visited Japan. Of course that means I need to go back.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I enjoy choosing postcards for these swaps.
Response: You're welcome. At the moment I'm figuring out which 3 of 4 courses I'll take this fall because I'll also teach an undergraduate course: a full load
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I enjoy reading English historical novels too and just for that reason we made a side trip to Bath. I learned that Bath fell out of favour because people got sick and died from bacteria in the water.
Response: You're welcome. I suspect the red uniform in modern times is a dress uniform. They look more like state troopers when they are on the job.
Response: You're welcome. I was happy that we have butterfly stamps I could use too.
Response: You're welcome! What brought you to Lake Superior? The less well known lift bridge is over the St Croix River near Stillwater.

Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. I hope you see a covered bridge some day. I'm surprised they aren't building them now - it's less expensive than wiring bridges with electric ice melters.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart too.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart. I had fun choosing the cards for you.
Response: I reluctantly give up my source: http://etsy.me/1KII3N1. Her website is http://www.cutetape.com
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Your'e welcome. Today I'm baking a lemon cake for the family reunion - the first time I'll turn on the oven in weeks.
Response: You're welcome. It was a fascinating tour. The castle has "nightingale" floors (just like our house). They were built to creak when walked on so that no one could sneak through the palace. There's a good Wikipedia article about them.
Response: I'm glad you like it. When my spouse sees letters going into the mail covered with stickers he invariably says, oh, that's what they're for. He knows they are not wasted.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. I'm happy to see more of Nara's art in US museums.

Response: You're welcome. I like banana kitty too. My niece likes them too. If I see soulful eyes, those kitties might find a new home.
Response: You're welcome. The rabbit wasn't quite large enough to send as a die cut postcard.
Response: You're welcome.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I sorted my stack to find the rainbows 😄
Response: You're welcome. In Japan I learned that they celebrate in the Shinto religion - marriages and such, and Buddhists when life is difficult. People are buried as Buddhist. I visited a temple in Tokyo that has rows of statues in memory of babies who died. In any case, the Buddhist temples there are amazing.
Response: You're welcome. You weren't the last one to rate, actually.
Response: You're so welcome. It's fun to dig into the older bits of my collection - it's like they are all new to me too.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like the postcard. Summer is hot now and I'm inside more than I'm out. It'll cool down in a few weeks as we slide into fall.
Response: You're welcome. I suspected you would love the Van Gogh - it's my favorite from the box too.
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heartâ£
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them and thanks for the heart ♡
Response: You're so welcome and thanks for the heart 💓
Response: You're welcome. I make perfect biscuits with all-white flour. It's the challenge of making whole wheat biscuits that are just as good. My blue cornbread is excellent too - bright blue when I make it with buttermilk. Though not in this hot hot weather - now it's fritters and pancakes.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I have nearly as many postcards as I have sticker flakes. And when I need a stiff piece of cardboard...
Response: I think that's the only moofia sticker flake I had. I looked through the bowl and didn't see another one 😿
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. A spurt of swapping and postcrossing for a bit. I have August off then three classes and I might teach a writing-intensive computer science class.
Response: You're welcome. It's the luck of the draw I think.
Response: By the time I got back to MN, I got the road trip urge out of my system. Now, a few weeks later, I'm thinking about where I'll go next.
Response: You're welcome. I know you don't live 5 minutes away, as my other partner does!
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for your nice note too.
Response: Your'e welcome and thank s for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. I'm home safely. I stopped often to stretch and look at something besides the road. Several stops for good barbecue. (Though Gate's is not a favorite - that honor goes to Joe's Kansas City) I didn't stop at the action figure museum in OK.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome. My nephew is stationed in Vilseck and was a staff officer planning Operation Dragoon Ride :: http://nyti.ms/1IaWqHB
Response: You're welcome and thanks for joining my swap. That part of New York is like Minnesota - we are glad when spring finally arrives. I keep suggesting to my spouse that we retire to Costa Rica or India. Why doesn't he take me seriously?!!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Last night I made brownies to take to an all-day meeting today. I call the recipe my don't ask-don't tell because you really don't want to know what's in them to enjoy them.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad it finally arrived. It must have been on the slow boat. ⛵
Response: 🚲 You're welcome. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Last class Friday and I took yesterday off. Today I begin studying for the final - writing more programs.
Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the 💖s.
Response: I'm glad you love the 📨 I sent.
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed putting it all together.
Response: You're welcome. I think she has lots of fun finding obscure postcards for me. 😄
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. It's a favorite of mine too
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like the stamps too.
Response: You're welcome. It's fun pulling out the older ones.
Response: You're welcome. It's only hinting a spring with a little green outside, though next week we'll have temps in the 60s. It's been in the 30s this week.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the 💞
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the 💗. Are you from Minnesota? Or is this something I knew and forgot? 3 more weeks of classes and labs, 2 more homework assignments and a final exam, then I'll enjoy spring. No more swapping now until after my final.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the 💙. All my trips outside the US have been fabulous!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the 💖
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the 🂱. I too was glad to swap with you again. Berlin is a great city to visit. This summer I'll be around and about in the US though not outside.

Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You're welcome - I'm doing few swaps now - I stated taking a class at the U of MN because i wasn't working - and then I started working again. I pick special ones.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Here it is almost a month since you rated my postcard, and the temps, if anything, sink lower all the time. I feel it because I walk outside quite a bit now, to bus stops and from one building to another when I'm on campus.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad you like the postcard. I like that aerial view of remarkable architecture too.
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart! and yes, 2015 is so far, so good!

Response: You're welcome, twice. I was lucky to have your name twice in one day. It was fun to think about how I could make...

Response: You're welcome! The same company - Galison - published the postcard book from the Boston MFA postcard exhibit. It'll be interesting to see what they do next.
Response: You're welcome. If you'd like to do a private swap sometime I'll send you a pile of kawaii sticker flakes.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Yes, it's fun to move them along and see what comes next.
Response: You're welcome - I'm glad you like everything - thanks for the heart

Response: You're welcome. I'm enjoying better eyesight now - such a treat!

Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Let's keep in touch about strange art.
Response: You're welcome. I hope you can visit NY too. Airbnb is great for less expensive places to stay.
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. Perhaps I was too busy thinking about illustrations?!!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. I keep checking Airbnb lodgings in Botswana. There are a few!
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. I have fun choosing postcards for these swaps.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for your loyalty to my swap series.
Response: Before I created the swap, I had to make sure I had some bags -- then it's the problem of narrowing the count to one. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. That's a favorite of mine too - whenever I go to that museum I buy another copy of that postcard.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. After buying a starter and nursing it along - it's called a mother and is the butt of endless jokes now - I would not have done that. Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe to start your own - I would have done that. His recipes are reliable. (My first source for cookbooks is the library.)
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. In college I memorized such statues for classical archaeology courses. I probably would have remembered better if I'd drawn them!
Response: My synagogue has a group tour of concentration camps in Poland every other year. Maybe some year I'll go. We visited two very different camps in Germany, days apart. The first, empty save for my nephew, my niece and I, opened our eyes and hearts. A few days later, Dachau was scorching.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for both hearts - hugs back atcha
Response: You're welcome. I'm impressed that you aren't itching to tear off all the paper.

Response: You're welcome. I enjoy writing notes. 🌈
Response: You're welcome. Do give yourself a week in Berlin, with lots of time to wander. It's a fabulous city.
Response: You're welcome. I'm glad you like them.
Response: Thanks ever so much for the rating. I discovered a while ago that sometimes saves don't make it onto our partner's profile - their problem, not _ours_
Response: You are so welcome! Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome. I enjoyed writing the answers and adding photos made it interesting for me too :-D
Response: Ah yes! All those pesky parts of speech - for who? Oh, whom! I'm glad you enjoyed reading my answers. I think of this sort of questionnaire as a getting to know you chat.
Response: You're welcome. It's actually the first line from a new cookbook by the author of Moosewood. I wish I'd had dinner at Moosewood when I was working in Corning - it was just too much of a drive after a long workday.
Response: I'm glad you like the sentimental goodies and the note. I raked a small area yesterday and filled 7 leaf bags. I'm listening to a good book now - that helps keep me from counting until I'm done.
Response: You're welcome. It was a great treat to address that envelope to another Meredith.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart and the quick rating
Response: thank you for the rating and the heart

Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're so welcome. It surprised me how much I could fit into that box. Thanks for the heart and for joining my swap.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for joining my swap

Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart

Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome for the card and the chuckle and thanks for the heart
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart

Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I run across s few swap-bot people in MN. I hope we will meet up some time.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I enjoyed assembling the package for you. Can I visit you in the Rocky Mtns? I've never been.

Response: Got it in one! I'm glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. Yesterday's batch of homemade bread was not quite as high as others - time to rethink my prep
Response: It was interesting - the most interesting Barbie was one showing the baby in her womb - not one I've seen in the US. We did not visit the toy museum in Nürnberg with German toys. I saw the doll collection at the Salamanca Spain museum some years ago, with lots of kewpie dolls.
Response: You're welcome. I looked for nice and unusual maps and hoped they were new to you.
Response: You're welcome - I'm glad you like it - I have great fun looking for cards people will enjoy
Response: You're welcome - you received the windfall because I'm a bit lazy and did not want to undo all that work - I'm glad you read the description first :-D
Response: I'm glad you like it. I like these kinds of cards too. I did not see the original and it's in a different museum than I visited - Fotoarchiv Ruhr Museum, Essen. It's probably leftover in the shop from a past show.
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm glad you appreciate my laziness in not undoing all my counting. :-D
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I would love to have that carpet underfoot rather than on a postcard. :-D
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. I'm happy when people appreciate my laziness - it was easier to send them than to undo all four. :-D
Response: You're welcome and thanks for the heart. The whole trip was poignant, for many reasons.
Response: You're welcome. After all that work I did not want to tear everything apart. 8-D and thanks for the heart.
