Thank you for putting so much effort in this swap & for all those lovely paper gifts (gnomes, woodland,..) as well! Have a wonderful October :) Edit: I just read about your car: I am so sorry! I hope things will get better soon!!!

Comment: Ohhhh, this is so pretty!!! I love your work. I swapped with you a few times before and you made me some amazing cards. I will put this envie in my journal. Thank you for the ephemera and altered playing cards. Very nice of you!!

Comment: Hi Neva! I love how you put the vines in the girl’s hair and made mountains out f tissue paper. Very pretty! Thank you!

Comment: Ohhhh, this is so pretty! Thank you, I love it.

Comment: Thank you so, so much for such a wonderful swap! I've never received an APC before, and I loved your inspiration for the spirals. xoxo

Comment: Wow! I loved it from the moment I saw the unique envelope you made. Then I opened it and was overjoyed to find you made me a few beautiful envelopes to use myself! Thanks so much for everything, and for taking such a close look at my likes.

Comment: I absolutely adore your work - thank you for gorgeous atcs and thanks especially for the handmade card - it will be hard to part with!

Comment: I love my "Blue Garden" PC! I always think things look more dramatic on a black background. It is so sad to be without all the animals we usually watch. I hope they eventually will file back in. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

Comment: Ohhhh, these are so COOL!!!! I love your style and I freakin love these cards and I probably will display and hoard them for a very long time! Thank you so much.

Comment: Thanks for the zine with a very detailed elaboration on the theme. And the tree looks magical :)

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful zine!

Comment: Love the creativity you showed in making this card.

Comment: Thanks for the great envies!

Comment: Wow!!! This swap deserves all the extra hearts and stars and kudos! It's so beautiful. The envelope arrived in perfect condition, no worries. In fact, I am going to frame it, I love it so much! Thank you for sending me such a beautiful envelope and ATC!!!!

Comment: I love your magic zine! Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the fun zine, there's always too many crafts to do everything! Just be aware that the paint detailing you used in the zine stuck to the opposite pages a bit :)

Comment: Thank you for the black out poetry :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcards, almost to nice to use.

Comment: Thanks for your joyful "Bright Yellow Sun" card, Neva. It was thoughtful of you to send it in an envie, though it's really just store-bought postcard exchanges that I prefer that way. What a lot of intricate cutting you did - with beautiful results!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely ATC!

Comment: I love how you told your history with crafting! So interesting :) I love hearing how other people grew up crafting and have evolved into different interests over the years. I hope things slow down a bit for you so you can fit more time in for your hobbies!

Comment: Neva, your minizine is delightful! I love the stories in it about your childhood craft projects, and the drawings that you put with them. What nice memories to have! It looks like you have a lot of different interests too; I bet your Christmas trees were beautiful on your tree! I remember taking those flat wooden 'spoons' that they used to give with ice cream cups and turning them into Christmas ornaments when I was young. Dad drilled a hole for the paper clip hanger, and I dipped them into Elmer's glue and then into a dish of sparkly glitter. I would sit for on the sofa and watch them sparkle on the tree as the colored lights hit them. Thanks for bringing back that nice memory for me. Your Camp Kittens sound so cute! We have a lot of interests in common and I hope we get to swap again soon! Thanks for the zine and the bird notecard! Best wishes!

Comment: Yeah! Thank you. You did a great job. So perfectly aligned and straight. The one with the ocean front is my favorite!!

Comment: Cute Mermaid card - thank you.

 

Comment: Another great zine, Neva. I love how you used silhouettes at first (it reminded me of shadow puppets) and then color when you found your home at the end. And thank you for the lovely llama notecard! I'm going to use it to add journaling to my memory book of Peru. Take care! <3

Comment: I absolutely love this package! Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your past with me.

Comment: Neva, your ATCs are absolutely beautiful. And I love the card you made as well. I would give you three hearts if I could.

Comment: Thank you, Neva, for you lovely zine and extra goodies, the envelope was so nicely decorated too! I loved the pop up flower arrangement, I really was not expecting that, very creative! Thanks again, - Ellie x

Comment: Hi Neva! I'm glad I was your partner again. :) The pop-up was so cool! As creative as I am in other areas, I'm terrible at arranging flowers. lol Making a beautiful bouquet is definitely an art! What an awesome job it would be to be surrounded by gorgeous flowers all day. Thank you for another awesome zine, and for the stickers and card, too!

Comment: thank you i enjoyed reading your zine

Comment: I think you pulled off the abstract style really well! Especially with the notecard you made. I love that you used tissue paper, and that you could see the different gradients of color through them! It was a very clever idea

Comment: Super cute!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful ATC!! (And the cute notecard too!)

Comment: Really loved this card, the layers are lovely. and I do like the texture to the card, though I would suggest dating your cards. Then in a few years I could have another in future and sit them next to each other to see how amazing they look.

Comment: This was a wonderful package sent to me for this swap, I love the texture you have achieved with these cards they are lovely. I feel super spoilt too with the extras. Thank you very much.

Comment: thanks for my fab bee ATC's Neva

Comment: These are amazing! Thanks so much! I love the bees. Thanks for including your zine too!

Comment: These zines are incredible! I love the effort you've put into them, and thank you so much for thoughtfully including the pet zine for balance. I relate a lot to what you went through, and that anger. Again, thank you so much for sharing!

Comment: Thank you for your personal magazine. I enjoyed reading about your pets, as well.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely poetry zine! I really like how you put the full poem on the reverse side too and how you'd show how you related to the verses!

Comment: Thank you for the hand-stiched zine and the personal insight in your anger <3

Comment: Thank you so much! You did an amazing job. I love both of them, they are perfect!!

Comment: Cute, creative and all about cats...i love it :) Thank you!!

Comment: Thanks for the answers. We seem to have the same favourite wild animal :)

Comment: Thank you. Interesting read.

Comment: Hi Neva! I got your second zine. Oddly, this is the first zine that came from this swap (I haven't even received your first one yet). That's how the mail has been going lately. lol Anyway, I LOVE it! Your stories brought tears to my eyes, and your drawings have such character. I could really see each animal's personality. Obi reminded me of my cat Simon who we had for 17 years. He had long black hair and would hug me the same way. I miss him, too. :) Thank you for sharing your pets with me! ** Update 2-6-19: The first zine came today. It's so sweet! Also, thank you for the ATC you included. I love it and am so happy to add it to my collection. **

Comment: This is absolutely the sweetest zine I’ve ever received! I loved reading every page and learning about all your past and present family members. You and your husband have huge hearts for taking in so many animals that need a home and we’re lucky to have people like you. Thank you for sharing your story, Neva

Comment: It was fun reading your answers. I wouldn't change my name either 💜

Comment: Thank you - so cute!

Comment: Such a nice zine, I love the drawings! Thank you! ♡♡♡
