Thanks for sending along the PCs. Thanks also for the great halloween stickers and i really LIKE that raven postage stamp too!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Comment: I love your addition to the little journal ♥️ but especially the bird on your handmade paper 😍😍😍 reminds me of growing up! (Grass Valley, CA 😁) Thank you so much for the great swap! I’ll have fun passing it along!
Comment: Hello, I received your postcard today! Thank you for the beautiful card :) My son got very excited when he saw he was mentioned haha so cute :)
Comment: Cute little mini journal entry - looks like I’ll need to continue the theme as I just carved another small cactus! 🌵 I adore your bird - his patterns are beautiful and it looks fabulous on your handmade paper! 😍😍😍
Comment: Love your mini art journal! The birds and dream are fantastic! Love that you went colorful with your paper, ink and beautiful envelope. 💖 Thanks so much for the UK postsge!! Definitely a treasure!! 💖💖
Comment: I received the card.
Thanks for the swap.
It is a drizzly day here, as I rate this swap. Trouble is, in the middle of Feb. in Maine, it should be snow!
Comment: Thanks for card and message. I am reading "The Spy Who Loved" non-fiction by Clare Mulley. She was beautiful and charmed the men. She survived the war and was murdered by a lover in 1952.
Comment: Thanks for joining the swap and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Your letter was very interesting, and I plan on reading what you read and actually everything else that she wrote.
Comment: Very cool!! Thanks so much. I haven't seen that rabbit with beautiful pink flowers before. I LOVE it!! Thanks too for the fun things inside. I am using them now as I assemble happy mail.
Comment: Thank you for the postcard. What a lovely name for the coffee shop you were sitting at! As soon as I read the name, "Pour Choice", I tried to envision what it looked like!
Comment: That's a wonderful stamp you carved. I like the United Nations theme, the houses that look like people - a great piece of art. Thanks for sending it to me :)
Comment: Hi Amy! Thanks for the letter! I wish I could grow my own flowers! But I don't have a green thumb.. lol! Also love the stickers and pc. Also what's the name of the black cat? So cute! Xo nadi
Comment: Hi Amy. Thank you for passing on the Used Stamp Chain card for round #42. I will pass on 🙂
Thank you also for your very considerate Christmas pc for my mum. She was so funny... passed to me, cuz it was "swappy" looking... I handed it back to her...It's Yours 😀 she was so surprised and pleased. She loved the Cardinal. She said to tell you that they are her favorite, and she believes they bring her good luck. ☘️
You are so thoughtful to think of her. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
I'm sorry it has taken me a bit to rate you. I've had Dr appts up the wazoo. Yesterday, I had a second round of spinal facet injections. Well see how it goes. 🤞 MRI next week.
Comment: Thank you so much for this amazing swap. I love both cards, never seen anything like the Alice in Wonderland one! And all the extras, you really spoiled me!
Xx Monique ❤️
Comment: So sorry this rating is so late!! I must not have hit save and it never posted to you! I love your postcard and your carving! The font is gorgeous and the saying is perfect!! I can barely write that beautifully- much less carve so exquisitely!! ❤️❤️❤️
Comment: I love the postcard you sent me! We have some of those antique christmas ornaments -- my mom said they are from the 1940s and 50s and they are really delicate and therefore you dont find many of them in antique stores and when you do... they are expensive!! I LOVE the ones I have because they were my grandparents and always on their tree when I was little!!
Thank you for the vintage stamps too!! OH and I LOVE your decorated envelope!! xx Gabi
Comment: Sweet-Love Alice in Wonderland-how wonderful to have a Christmas version of it. Thanks for sharing and Happy Fall! We are expecting our first snowstorm tommorrow! And Merry Christmas,too!
Comment: This ATC is gorgeous! I love all of the bright, popping colors. These stamps really are super cool! 💜And thank you so much for the thoughtful extras! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween~
Comment: Hey Amy! first off, TYSM for joining my swap!😀 I so appreciate that you did. TYVM for the Alice in Wonderland glitter PC. I love it very much! I also loved your nice note and the vintage stamps you put on the PC as well ! I hope you & your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas!
Comment: Thank you for sending me a book card! I have an album just for the book themed postcards I receive. And thank you for sharing what you are currently reading!
Comment: I was so happy to find your envelope adorned with the yawning lady and so many different postage stamps in my mailbox today! Thank you for the great variety of stamps and ephemera. I really like the blank postcard and the Chinese paper and your special ATC, too!
Comment: NICE carving and quote! And, I love the wavy address lines - that must be a stamp too, and I am now inspired to make my own for future PC swaps (or, really, any envelope) - great idea!
Comment: Thanks so much for the cute kitten card. Adorable! Catty sounds like a cutie. I know what you mean about them catching birds and mice. I hate to see that, too. My cats stay indoors but sometimes catch mice who made the mistake of coming inside. Cathy
Comment: Love all the stamps. Thanks
And your Halloween card is adorable
We saw To Kill a Mockingbird in NYC and it was just as fab as the book!
Happy Halloween
Comment: Thank you. I will pass along the p/c's on the next round. I will use the stickers you sent for address labels. Always nice to see your decorated envelopes in my mailbx.
Comment: Dear Amy, oh wow, this envelope looks amazing! *.* And it arrived safely and without roblems. XD The book you're reading sounds interessting and despite my "to read"-list is already very long, I will still put it on, too. XD
Have a great week!
Yours,
Maxi
Comment: Amy, thank you so much for the ATCs. I love them. Your carved stamped image is awesome. I tried doing some carving myself, but my skills are not as refined as yours! Thanks for sending that too!
Comment: Thanks for the swap, your nice note, and the extra PC.
I know what you mean but I'm pretty sure those pictures in the magazines are air-brushed, or PhotoShopped.
Comment: What great stamps you carved! I LOVE the leaves stamp and may be inspired to make one like that! And, you in the garden is just incredible. Great PC!
Comment: I love this envelope so much! If you ever do your hand cut relief Plague Doctor as a print, and get me in this swap again, would frame it. Thank you so much for such a kind and creative swap! ♥
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful goodies and the cute quote on handmade paper! I LOVE that its recycled paper too, i cant wait to put it on display!
Comment: Thanks for the swap and your nice note. CA is one of the three contiguous states I haven't visited. We were planning on visiting in the spring of 2020. We are beginning to think about traveling again though probably road trips to begin with.
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful butterfly APCO. I am having a hard tome with my cucumbers also this year, maybe we will both be lucky and get some
Comment: Hi Amy. Always a pleasure to have you as my partner.
I'm so impressed with your carte postale stamp. How do you get those nice curves and fine cut out areas????
Thanks again!
Comment: Thank you for your beautiful postcard with the pin-ups and the stamps you have chosen :) I also put tomatoes in my garden !! They are now starting to make small clusters <3 Basil, on the other hand, cannot resist me, I realized that you wet it too much :(
Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely handmade paper! I enjoy doing that too, and have also experimented with adding flowers. I was surprised it didn't do as much as I expected. I need to pull my gear out and make some more too! I've also played around with making stamps, but nothing as cool or complicated as the gorgeous caligraphy you made! Cool stationery too, and I really covet your little prickly pear sticky note! Cactus blossoms are one of my favorite things! Thank you, thank you!
Comment: Thank you for the neat fold up letter! I just love the bookmark you enclosed as well! That will be put to great use! I have several cookbooks checked out of the library as well!
Comment: I loved reading your letter! Ok, so I need to try hand making paper myself. I've always wanted to and you basically gave me great directions. And wow! I've never seen flower seeds at Goodwill either, but it sounds like you got a great selection. Reading about your flower seeds for butterflies reminded me of this one time I was walking up the sidewalk to the front door of a friend's house and there were these flowering plants all along the length of it and as I walked, tons of butterflies suddenly started flying into the air. It was so magical! Thank you for the extra goodies too!
Comment: thank-you SO MUCH for the beautiful coffee themed ATC! Absolutely love it :) Also thank-you for sending me the coffee themed stamps, you are too kind & I'm so happy to finally have them :) <3 You just made my day
Comment: Returned from a trip & found this fabulous coffee ATC in my box! Thank you for this creative & inspiring work of art, Amy!
The envelope is great, too!!
Comment: Thank you so much for the 2 wonderful space themed stamp APCs!!! I love them so much. And thank you for the extra space stamps. I didn't have any of them in my collection! Mahalo and Aloha!
Comment: Love the homemade paper! Really adds depth to your ATC. Did you really carve the stamp? I'm amazed. Wish I could be that talented! Thank you for taking time to make this little piece of art so special. 💚💚💚
Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcard/note and Christmas stamps! Also thank you for all the beautiful extras you included! It really made my day to receive this swap :) :) :)
Comment: Thank you for sending the sweet surprises my way. They made my day. Also, I hope that winter lemonade turned out nice. Take care and keep on swapping... <3 <3 <3
Comment: Thank you so much for your amazing postcard! I'll have to look up the artist. I love the style so much! Great stamps as well. That artic hare stamp is soooooo cute! Great swap <3
Comment: Thank you for such an amazing swap! I loved the envelope and the green in the stamps you chose and thr Christmas seal was such a wonderful added bonus. Love the trees stamp too as well as the wonderful selection of stamps and the washi was just perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
Comment: First, let me say what a cool stamp on the PC! Never seen that one before! Second, you piqued my interest in the book so I added it to my TBR list. xxMuggleMom
Comment: I'm impressed with zine makers who are good storytellers. Your quarantine story is so relatable and your beautifully carved images really illustrate the story well. The zine is quality. Thanks for the handcarved suns square I noticed how cool the paper is and then read that it's handmade. It takes ink really well. That's a nice extra.
Comment: Thank you so much, Amy, for the very interesting Covid-19 Quarantine zine! I love it! Very topical and I love hearing about others’ experiences with this in their communities. The stamps you carved are WONDERFUL! The extra sun prints on the handmade paper is awesome! I love it all!!!
Comment: Is it weird to say that I enjoyed your zine when it's about this unique situation that we are all in? It's historical! I really love your carvings and love the handmade paper! (And I also started following the Body Project during the pandemic too!!)
Comment: Thank you for joining the swap. I always wonder about pictures I find in books...because I'm sure it was a picture that brings the reader joy because [I'm assuming] its not a random thing to use as a bookmark...they chose it for a reason, right?Did you see the news about the Van Gogh artwork used as a bookmark? 🤯Wow!!
Here's the link:

Comment: your gorgeous envelope arrived this morning.
thank you for the intricate ATC. The notelet is delightful. Your handmade paper has turned out very nicely. I recently ordered some paper made from plants (Etsy)
Comment: Thank you for the awesome historic card!
It has to be weird to work from home for so long. I‘m at home since May 2020 now (because of pregnancy and maternity) and if I‘d have time I would miss my colleagues a lot (and also the way to work by subway where I read every day).
Hope everything will be normal soon!
Comment: Thank you very much for sending me nice and untattered postage stamps! The envelope was small and must have gotten lost somewhere, but nevertheless I received it in my PO Box this morning! :)
Comment: So cool that we share the same Amy D! I really enjoyed reading your note and hope you have a fabulous vacay! Love the stamped images you sent.
Comment: Thank you for the amazing ATC! I wouldn't hv guessed those were security envelopes. Nvr really noticed the pretty patterns on them. The embossed clear sticker is beautiful! Thanks for the lovely extras. Till we swap again! 😉
Comment: Thanks Amy for this long and lovely letter.
Also I love the PC, bookmark and wow that prayer flag 🙏🏻
Did you enjoyed the 4th of July celebration? And how are your vegetables doing? I understand what you mean about gardening. It goes with trail and error.
Here the library’s had the same construction during the lockdown.
Hopefully those times are forever in the past.
Take care and hugs from the Netherlands 🤗
Comment: Thank you... the card is beautiful and so is your calligraphy!! I used to think re-reading a book was such a waste of time. But now I re-read quite a bit, for many different reasons!
Comment: Thank you for sending the cards on!
I love to browse through the cooking section in the library too! Unfortunately they don’t have a Big Collection. Therefore they also have some cooking magazine with new issues regularly.
Comment: I’m blown away! I loved all the images you sent me and your zine. I so seldom carve faces or figures but you have inspired me to try harder. Thank you!
Comment: Thanks for the kitty card! I got my vaccine in April, with the 2nd dose the day before an in-person job interview. My body let me drive an hour and interview, get the job 2 hours later, then got a fever that night. Go body! I gave it plenty of rest, and am now happy to be becoming an English teacher!
Comment: This was a wonderful envelope to receive!! That plague doctor stamp is fire!! And I really liked the postage stamps & vintage paper too. Thank you so very much!
Comment: Thanks so much for resending! I also prefer physical books for the experience, even though I technically read more audiobooks. Thanks for joining the swap!
Comment: So funny, my sister starting making mask right around COVID-19 started happening. Now I have a stash full of them! Before COVID-19, we never had a box of mask in our household.
Comment: That zine blew me away! Holy cow!!! You put so much into it. I felt like I was having a conversation with a friend. I love the stamps inside. Great job!
Comment: It arrived! (I don’t understand the PO’s problem with the “undeliverable”... my address looks perfect...) I love the ATC, the great stamps and the cool zone! Thank you so much!
Comment: I absolutely LOVE the ATC! Thank you so much!!! Did you know I was born in Auburn? One of the last. (they tore the hospital down after I was born). So weird getting a letter with the return address of my home town! :-)
Comment: Thank you so much for the gorgeous ATC! (and the stamped envelope - I wonder if everyone who gets into carving does a ginkgo leaf - there's something very appealing about them) The seahorse print you sent in the last swap is off being matted right now. :-)
Comment: The Popcorn bag! Yas! Makes such a pretty envelope! Darn, that mail clerk drew a line thru the pretty butterfly stamp. I hate that! LOL The ATC is sooooo preeeeettty! Hay, those ice cream cuts outs....are those vintage, they look vintage? Happy excellent swap!
Comment: WOW, what an amazing swap to receive. I adore these, especially the ATC (strong contender for favorite to date). I feel so inspired now to learn more about carving and printing! I haven't tried multi-block printing yet, but maybe I'll get there eventually - absolutely love your results - I'll definitely frame the seahorse! Thank you so much - here is an extra bonus ❤!
Comment: Thank you- I love how your ATC turned out-beautiful! My lilacs have not bloomed yet, but soon, usually around Mother's Day. I have been covering the new ones nearly every night lately as it as been dipping below freezing. Lilac scent is really my favorite, but you can never find anything like a candle, soap, etc. that actually smells like the real thing, so when they bloom I am just constantly sticking my face in them and inhaling. Even when we are on walks and it's someone else's lilac near the sidewalk!
Comment: Amy, thank you so much for sharing your reality. I may not know the entire story, but I have dealing with similar situations, and it can be tough. However, there are good days as well, and I hope you experience them more than once in a while. Aside from everything else that's going, I do hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. Sending love and happiness your way! 😊💖
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful postcard and stamps. And the stamped lady reading reminds me of Helena Bonham Carter. Reading your charming profile ... I love how you mentioned reading the typeface descriptions in books because I always do too. Enjoy the swaps!
Comment: Love, love love it! Thanks for the great postcard. If you want to share the rest of your series with me, I'ld be please to correspond with you!
Comment: Love the warbler postcard. THANK YOU! Good luck with the vegetable gardening. I love dahlias and lilies and ours are coming up as well. Blessings, Martha
Comment: Thank you so much! What an amazing swap to receive. The stamp of the plane on the back is amazing! And the washi is so perfect. Where did you get the note paper with the paper airplane on it? Loved all the details. I could go on and on! Thank you!
Comment: Wow, what an awesome mailing to receive! Thanks so much for the stamps & I love the photo!! My son claimed it for his collection. We restore old scooters & he has a license plate collection going. 🙂
Thanks again & I wish you all the best.
Comment: I love your calligraphy! And you carved the pen yourself? Impressive! I love doing calligraphy, too, but I find I concentrate so much on the letters that I'm more likely to misspell a word! I have to be extra careful about that! How did you learn to carve the pens? Sounds fun! Thanks so much for the note and book suggestion! One that is especially appropriate for where I live for sure! I'll check it out!
Comment: Thank you for the excellent stamps. I love that they are large - I don't think I have these at all! LOVED the envie you sent the swap in - that paper is fantastic.xxMuggleMom
Comment: Thank you so much for the super cute Valentine and the lovely stickers. I loved the airmail envelope you sent in too. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Valentine's Day!! Thanks for joining the swap. 💜💌
Comment: Please tell me that when the nurse picked the rocks out of your face, it was also 2 days before picture day, so you can truly sympathize. My Mom insisted that I get my picture done anyway, and I was so embarrassed when she gave them out to family....Its funny now but at 7 I was mortified.
Comment: I think the post office is taking the term 'snail mail' literally. Happy to receive your New Year greeting. I like the stamps and the way you placed them along the side. Thanks!
Comment: Love the bookmark you made me, thank you!! And the cute stamp you embossed on the envelope!! I keep thinking about getting some embossing supplies!
Comment: Hi Amy, Loved the postalette. I loved hearing about your plans for your garden and about Baby. Thanks for the lovely washi tapes and cat playing card, I love them. Wishing you a happy and safe 2021
Comment: Thank you for the winter postcard. So much activity in the cold and snow. Love the old stamps, too. Take care and I hope your garden grows wonderfully!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely christmas card Amy! Did you do the christmas shopping on time? We are in a hard lockdown now, but luckily we got our christmas decorations early. Hope you have a good last day of the year!
Comment: I cannot possibly give you enough hearts! This was so thoughtful and caring it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so, so much! The Instax pic of your BLM postcards is on my daughter's bulletin board in her room now. She's 12, she knows what's going on, and it really means a lot to her that you care. Thank you!
Comment: Thanks so much for the cute card - and the book recommendation! I hadn't heard of that book, but hopefully I can find it, at least by next christmas. :) Happy holidays!
Comment: Oh Amy, the perfect pinkness of this ATC (APC, really) is just lovely! I adore the vintage Father Christmas images, and your embellishments are just right. Thank you also for the incredible marbled papers...those will be hoarded and used only for very special projects (not swaps!). It's a joy to swap with you!
Comment: Thank you for the pc and tag! I haven’t heard a Christmas song yet, probably because I haven’t been shopping and I’m always listening to an audiobook. Lol. I’ll have to listen to my playlist soon.
Comment: Love it all! Great envelope with the bunny and matching stamps! Love the ATC with the clear Dymo labels! You definitely waited too long to use them! My neighbour was with me when I opened the envelope and we both noticed and loved the clear labels. Great font too. I know you got the labels ages ago but I’d love to know the font of the Dymo! Such pretty colours too. Love pink for fall (the deer made me think fall) Thank you so much.
Comment: Thank you for the really lovely mermaid APC. I've never seen a pink playing card before. I love the card and it is welcome in my collection. And thank you for the extras. Aloha
Comment: absolutely gorgeous postcard and I love the bunny shadow pupped stamp! I've been working hard to create peaceful spaces in my home (redecorated my front porch to make a reading nook and bought a bunch of house plants for my work-from-home corner of the kitchen table). I hope you are finding peaceful spaces too!
Comment: I'm so glad you joined this swap and shared your own carved stamped images. They're fantastic! You sent so many, lucky me! And I like all the different papers and inks you used and your cool envie too. They will all be used. Can't wait to play! Enjoy those blue skies. We too had some blue skies today but Autumn has definitely arrived. Thanks again for such a lovely swap!
Comment: Very cool B&W pictures. I don't have any Lyle Lovett in my record collection...he has a unique sound and I am not sure there is anyone else quite like him :)
Comment: Thanks for playing! Congrats on cleaning the garage! I helped my sister move from the house she lived in for 58 years. That was a lot of cleaning and cleaning out! My daughter also just moved from one town in Virginia to another and we helped her with that - again, lots of cleaning. I'm taking this week off! LOL
Comment: I had a hard time getting into that book. I had to set it aside. Hope you enjoyed it though. :) And love the card you used! Very eye catching :)
Comment: Thank you so much for sharing your letter and for the lovely extras. Your envelope of Wonder Woman and the staying strong theme is on point. Plus so true!! I’m trying to get my mental health together so I can get stronger in other ways, and so I can be a better ally. It’s the whole, you gotta help yourself first on the sinking ship so you can reach out and help others. At least for me. I didn’t use to take care of myself before I did others, and it was never not worth doing but it takes a bigger toll and leaves me with less to help others.
Take care of yourself and I’m so glad you’ve had positive interactions.
I once had police show up to my house for a wellness check (it was a bad situation and a selfish friend who made it about her rather than about me, ironically—another friend told her to not do that because it would trigger me, and it did.). I have PTSD among other issues, and as soon as that officer showed unannounced, armed, I was triggered. Fortunately, I managed to shout, I have PTSD! And the officer put his own hands sort of up and took a step back and told me he was there just to talk and help. I was lucky. If I were a Black man, I don’t know if it would’ve been as good an interaction—I certainly would like to give that officer then benefit of the doubt that he would’ve done the same for anyone, but the news so often shows that’s not true.
Keep on gardening but watch out for the heat!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful Eiffel Tower postcard, I LOVE it!! Hope you had a good cook out for the 4th - we were surrounded by illegal fireworks at home and a tree caught fire around the block so it was a stressful night! :O Take care and be safe and thank you for the awesome "old" postage stamps!
Comment: Finally ypou great Zetti ATc has arrived after more than two months. Thanks so much I love it . Thanks also for the borders you sent. Take care. .elflady
Comment: Hi Amy! Thank you so much for the awesome Cowboy ATC. It came out so cute and I love the Cowboy stamp that you used. So cool how you created a story and the way that you packaged was so authentic. I hope you enjoyed the theme. Thanks for joining! Take Care -Vanne
Comment: Thank you for the amazing giraffe card! I love it. It reminds me of the Griffin and Sabine books by Nick Bantock. You should check them out. I'll check out the Broken Earth books, thanks for the recommendation. I'm really missing the library these days. Take care.
Comment: Thanks for the pics...I really like them!! The typewriter is my fav but they are all fun. I will be putting them on my collage wall.
See my note on your profile too.
Comment: You're lucky your state is on lockdown. Everyone is driving around NC continuing the spread. We still go to work even though there's 5 cases in my county now so I'm sure the numbers will get higher soon. Stay safe.
Comment: Hi Amy! Thanks for the adoreable pc and share about what you are reading! I am so thankful to have a ton of books here, so I can pass the time! Hugs, Stay Safe and Happy Reading! ;)
Comment: Your library card looks good. The notecard you sent is gorgeous. I want to keep it! I probably shouldn't though. I will send it to someone special. Thank you!
Comment: Thank you for the pretty postcard! Here in the northeast the only thing coming to life outside in my yard is a patch of snowdrops. When I see them poking through the ground in defiance of winter I know that spring is on its way! :)
Comment: Thank you for the cool looking postcard! I have never been mushroom hunting, but I know people who are big fans of morels and hide their spots with fervor...
Comment: Thank you so much for the zetti cat ATC. I love the envie was a topo map of the Sierras. I used to go on backpacking trips with my dad in the Sierras!
Comment: Thanks for the lovely note. It has been gorgeous here as well. I'm taking my dog out for a walk in a little while. So nice to be able to do that on a nice sunny day in February--without a jacket or sweater! I love lemonade anytime--wish I had a tree to supply me, but I have friends who always share their bounty!
Comment: Love the bookish postcards! I know you didn't start them, but anyway. Thanks for carrying on! Playing a baby grand is always a treat. Good job learning "The Tennessee Waltz" so quickly. My Dad used to like that song.
Comment: Oh, my goodness! LOVE the Pigeon page! I immediately went to the website to order some. Thanks for your reading note, and especially for introducing me to a new stationery form.
Comment: Thank you for sharing a bit about your weekly library adventures! I never thought to get recipes there (duh), and I’m very interested to learn more about the audiobook you mentioned prescribing poetry for your worries! Very clever 😉 Thank for sparking some inspiration AND doing so on a nice postcard of a mailbox I don’t yet have in my collection! Like the vintage postage stamps too!!!

Comment: Very cool information about the surrealist telephone game. I did some searching to find out more. This would be a fun art classroom activity. In my online search I found a game that I'll probably buy -- Telestrations. It's based on this idea. Kind of a pictionary game and telephone game. Thanks for the postcard Eclectonote.The Janis Joplin postage stamp was a nice touch.
Comment: Received your PC today and Thank you! I miss California! I was an Army brat back in the late 60's and lived in South Gate, Ca. near Los Angeles about 7 miles. Lived there for 4 years. You know where South Gate is?
Comment: lol you got me. What is the book pix? I looked, and looked. It seems its a flow of books behind a door. Did you notice the rabbit riding a book? Very cool. Either way its all very cool esp. the rubber stamp. Thank you!
Comment: Hi Amy, Got the 2 traveling post cards and will send them out in the next round. Also, thank you for the stamps and cool wonder woman envelope!

Comment: Thanks for the postcard! It's so hard to stick to a diet this time of year...I've given up even trying to watch what I eat until January 1st lol. I'm just trying to make sure I keep exercising so at least I don't gain weight lol
Comment: Thank you so much Amy for the Christmas card and stamps!!! I will get your post card in the next round. Have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, darla
Comment: Thank you for making my day by sending a postcard fave from my home state of California! I enjoyed reading your ideas for self-care too! The swimming idea is one that I hadn’t thought of in a while!
Comment: Hi Amy and thank you for the fab bundle of coffee dyed papers. I love this technique and the results it gives. And you sent me such a fun variety of papers to use. Your little sewn pocket is adorable and thank you for the stamps you included. And I must tell you that the envelope you made to send all of this is just fantastic! I hated to tear it open and am going to save it and use pieces of it for future projects. Thanks so much for a great swap!!
Comment: I am in LOVE, both with the atc and the vintage ephemera you shared. Thank you so so much. Forgot to mention how much I appreciate the rabbit touches, I’m keeping everything to reuse down to the envie and stamp!
Comment: Love the envie! I thought it was a pencil telling at the envelopes, but now I'm wondering if they are singing? Anyway, it will get included in my journal. Thanks for the extras. Happy autumn to you!
Comment: Hay, thats cool that you found a swimming card to match your "weapon". lolol But is the diver in that picture FLAT? He looks flat. Have you noticed? lololo Hay, love all the stamps! And I appreciate the rainbow stamp too! So pretty! Thank you!!!!!!!

Comment: Thanks, these are one of my favorite kind of cards. I have quite a few but not this one. I used to have a trading partner in the UK and he would send me cards of marching military bands and such. My favorites of those were when the unit or band had an animal mascot, most of which were big white goats with massive horns. Have a great weekend. Rich

Comment: Thank you so much for your really sweet cake postcard, I love it! And I love how you wrote my address on the card and stamps and everything! :)

Comment: Hello Amy,
Thank you for both postcards you sent me --one required for this swap and an additional one that you sent with your note and some more stamps for me. That was very kind to send the extra stamps. I will add some stamps to your postcard and send it along when a new swap is up..

Comment: Thank you for your letter, PC's and tag. I am on Naturally Slim and since 1/8/18 have lost 36 pounds. It is the easiest thing I've ever done. You can check it out online.

Comment: Hi Amy, I absolutely loved the aerogramme you sent, loved reading your letter and the stamps are delightful! Many hearts to you. I will keep an eye out for vintage ones(aerogrammes) for you .Happy swapping have joy :)xx
Comment: Loved the pc - my blood is at least 1/2 coffee! You inspired me to try carving larger - up until then my stamps have been 2x2" but I tried to mostly fill up my pc and didn't do too bad! So thanks!! 💗
Comment: Hi Amy! What a fun ad pc! It is cold here too and at my work the boiler is out so no heat there - yikes!! I think I need clothes I can type in now! LOL! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: Fantastic! I love the stamp that you created, and I loved the 2 very different ways that it was used. I never would have thought of using the star sticker sheet in that way, very Wonder Woman resourceful :) Thanks for participating and for a really cool set of art works!
Comment: Amazing envelope, love it so much. I actually taught a community class on Ghandi this spring, so super special! And the stamp selection is amazing, love the range of colors and images! There were some real gems, christmas stamps among them. Thanks so much!
Comment: Amy, your gorgeous envelope classed up my mailbox- that lovely copper ink glinted in the sun so pretty and made me feel as though I am filled with exclamation points. I can't stop smiling...your calligraphy is quite striking, I drank in all the words as if they were a fine wine, savoring each letterform and every stroke of your oblique pen. The extra tags you tucked in sweetened the whole deal. Thank you for making my day!
Comment: Nice to see your beautiful handwriting in my mailbox. It's been a while. Thank you for the elephant educational chart card ( I love that series & elephants are a favorite) & for the delightful postage stamps as well.
Comment: Hi Amy, I really like the swap you sent. Thank you so much. Clowns are a favourite of mine. Thank you also for the extras. Happy swapping, Sandy

Comment: Thanks for the AWESOME pc! I've never heard of "Firefly." Sounds good, though. By any chance: do you have any more of those umbrella pcs? I'd like a whole truck load :)!
Comment: My goodness, Amy, what a package of delight! Let's start withthe envelope, because that was the swap brief. Beautiful lettering with the steel dip-nib, delivered fresh by rocket post! And, oh, the stamps! The Buckminster-Fuller is amazing, but they are all simply gorgeous. Thank you for choosing these themes especially for me. Now the contents, which are technically incidental to the swap. More stamps: merganser, Einstein, energy conservation, Shakespeare and telegraphy. All exactly to my taste. A postage-paid postcard of the USA from 1972 and three lovely little warblers. Then some very interesting savings stamps and two beautiful ex-libris plates. It is all just lovely. Thank you very much! Yours, Sonia (Su_May)
Comment: Hi Amy! Thank you for the beautiful postcard! I love the quote. Your calligraphy is beautiful. I don't have the patience for it. Happy Labor Day weekend to you!
Comment: Hi Amy. That is such a cute card! Thank you so much. You're so talented. I'm more of a dive right in gal but I do like sitting on the edge and soaking my feet to cool off. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Comment: What a beautiful envelope (I too decorated my envelope in a mail theme), all the items are definitely to my liking and I look forward to using them. The tiny envelopes are my fave! Did you make or purchase them? If it's the latter, do you mind telling me where you bought them? Also, I enjoyed reading your letter. It must be beautiful where you live! I too grow a garden and so far I've been getting quite a few cucumbers. I hope your garden will be very productive. :) Thanks for such a nice swap!
Comment: I love the tags and quotes. Langston Hughes is one of my favorite poets and Dream Deferred is one of my favorite poems by him. It was so special to get that quote,

Comment: Thank you for the card - FYI, it took me awhile to figure out which swap your card was for because you did not indicate the swap name anywhere and I was in over a dozen Valentine card swaps. But I finally figured it out.
Comment: Definitely an ad card but I, too, love the tuba and the dog. . .and that the dog is standing on a book so she can read the tuba mouthpiece :-) Thanks for a great ad card ~~
Comment: Very cool ATC! Thank you so much. I really like the carving you came up with. I just couldn't get inspired but you obviously had no trouble! Yes, an otter would be cute. Thanks again and happy swapping!
Comment: That is a cool pc! Thanks :) hope you enjoyed your good reading during the winter weather. The storm hit us today but just a pretty dusting of snow to make everything look clean again.
Comment: Hi Amy! I received your Whimsy Pocket today and it is super adorable! I was curious about how to make one of these, so I'm glad you sent yours on the early side! At least I know now that I am on the right track with my idea for my partner! :-) Thank you so much for the very thoughtfully made pocket. I love that you told the story of how you found the blue linen. It's a wonderful way to re-use an old tablecloth! :-) I adore the velveteen flowers with their gemstone, pearl, and sequined centers. I also will enjoy the tags, stickers, and washi that you sent along. Many hearts to you! Your envelope was fabulous, too! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Hello! Thank you so much for the nice zine and letter! :) I enjoyed reading it! :)
I can recommend Morocco especially! I've also been to Istanbul which is really a lovely city, but Morocco was more special since the culture is much more different from ours.
I also play music! Piano, recorder and guitar. Right now I learn guitar, piano and recorder I studied when I was younger. :)
Thank you also for sending the Chinese envelopes! They are lovely and your envelope is awesome! Thanks for everything! :)
Comment: Thanks for the card--this is one of the more interesting swaps. I always wonder if it's possible to offend someone in this swap.

Comment: Thanks for the personal note, I really enjoyed it. The playing cards are so cute, and I sure love the used cancelled stamps. OF course the stamps on the envie are great too.
Comment: Thanks for the print! It's super cute! I have done a few linocuts. They're fun as Heck! Oh my cool stamps too! At first I was kinda bummed that my partners were in the US because I don't have many foreign stamps but you've made my day! Thank you for your generosity!
Comment: Dear Amy, this is an extra special package for you included so many nice paper goodies. Of course, I love the print of the fox stamp most! Thank you so much for brighten my day.
Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely Alice card :) and i agree with you! The absurdity of the story is what makes it so wonderful which is absurd in itself :) xx
Comment: Cute, cute card!! Fantastic 'extra' - LOVE the rusty key & the Paris tag - both will go on my inspiration board. Thank you, thank you!!!
Sorry for the late rating - I loved this swap so that cards would come closer to Christmas, but then also the crunch came!
I am very grateful for your heartfelt mail!
Comment: I am so sorry for rating this so late. I have been taking a long break from swapbot because I was preparing for my wedding. It was over now and I am back on swap bot. Thank you for your swap. I love everything you sent me. I am sending you a private message to see if you are interested for a private swap :)
Comment: How FABULOUS! I loved the embossed envelope! Was it all one stamp, or did you combine different stamps for it? Loved everything you included, and it was super timely because I just watched Gravit recently so I actually knew what a Soyuz was. ;) thank you again for a creative swap!
Comment: You are amazingly talented!! Thank you so much for the wonderful images, doing more than required, and a completely awesome envie!! I hope we get a chance to swap again! (PS - smiled when I saw your addie - I'm from Grass Valley!)

Comment: Thanks for a great swap, Amy. Loved your SA map envie. I've traveled in Colombia, Venezuela & Peru & dream about the countries further south. The handmade papers & postcard are perfect choices for me & I enjoyed your beautifully hand-decorated letter. Good luck with the Arabic. I admire your moxie!
Comment: Hi Amy - thank you so much. I did love everything inside and outside:)) Especially your dog Champ. Thank you for the lovely letter as well. Love to you and Champ xx
Comment: Love the pepper ATC. Just as much, the elephant and puppy hand carved stamp ATCs. They are gorgeous, and each one gets a heart. Thank you so much. :0)
Comment: Thank you for the lovely and creative envie and I just love the hand carved stamp ATC! I have recently chosen a charity-sale book with a Renaissance angel on the cover by an author I've enjoyed as well (A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell). Currently I am totally absorbed by Hugh Howey's "Wool" . Thanks again :0)
Comment: Hi Amy- you are such a fantastic stamp carving artist! WOW! Thank you so much for the awesome rabbit and labels. I too wasn't sure about the kraft/bling combo (love kraft paper, not so much "bling"), I think it definitely works here- your singing mail is adorable. I'm just starting to carve stamps, it's fun but a bit frustrating. Are you just using the speedyball carver thingie? I just realized yesterday the white carving block is far inferior to the pink, what a crumbly mess! Any tips for a newbie?
Comment: Thank you for your great colourful envie of rubber stamps and the swap. I appreciate the message you sent. The other swap sent is fantastic. I miss using rubber stamps, and your black-and-white one is suberb with the cool playing card. Too bad the postal clerk used pen to mark off the nice stamps used. The Christmas stamps are great. I'm in swap euphoria - whew!
Comment: Thank you for another fabulous swap. I adore the envelope and took great delight in trying to read the inside... Your ATC is beautiful and the other wee goodies will certainly all be used.
Comment: Hi Eclectonote! Thank you so much for the very cool postcard! Love the pieces you chose and how you put them together. I think getting to the market and the library constitutes a workout so ... you're good! Ha ha ha! XOXO
Comment: Thank you for a fabulous envelope! I really liked your stamps and how you kept to a theme. And the goodies in the envelope were great! Thank you! :-)
Comment: This was such a great envelope to receive - thank you very much! (Just love the amazing carved stamps you used.) Thanks also for the sweet extras. :)
Comment: thanks for the nice Lake Tahoe post card , didn't have one of those , I have been there and seen it . It is a beautiful Lake , clear blue water. we also went to the Pondarosa when we was there and also road the Steam engine the kids loved it and we did too. thanks for nice assortment of stamps too
Comment: Hi Amy! Thank you for your wonderful airmail envie and all the lovely goodies inside! My baby twins got into my mail stash and threw some stuff around, but I'm pretty sure you sent me some cool postcards and some cute stickers!? Thanks again!
Comment: I always love seeing you in the mail -the silver embossed stamps were awesome -so pretty with the blue postage :D Thank you for the lovely year of the horse envies (very cool) and the squirrely bag that I went ape over! Ha ha. Wish I could've been at the Ex Postal Facto event -sounds like an amazing time. Hope you're enjoying the start of Spring over there -Take Care :D
Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter, stamps, cards - I have heard of artist stamps before but had never seen one, yours are beautiful! I wish I were so talented...
Comment: I was so excited to see your original envie in my mailbox! LOVE the homemade plague doctor stamp. You have mad talent, dear! Did you use acrylic paint to stamp with? If not, you have to tell me what kind of ink you used. Love the shiny texture of it. Can't wait to get these glued down! The moons are gorgeous....LOVE the Chinese New Year envie. That will be put to use ....EEEEEmmediately. Thanks for sending mail art and goodies that are really me! You took the time to read my profile and I kiss you for it! Until we swap again, my dear! PS: I can't wait for Sunday nights to watch a new episode of HBO's "Looking" which was filmed in San Francisco. What a beautiful city that is, will all of the steep hills. Thanks for the ephemera from there too!
Comment: Thanks, love the ATC and the extra ones. Your carving skills are amazing!
I will be back with a heart. this stupid computer won't let me click on it...
Comment: Hello! Thank you VERY much for the adorable ATC. Wow! Very inspiring ... I'm actually in a bit of a creative block and so I appreciate seeing yours ... as inspiration. I love it! Thanks!!!
Comment: Wow. Thank you so much! I've recently thought about carving my own rubber stamps. I love your designs. They're amazing! ;-) Thanks also for the German book pages. How awesome to now have crochet instructions in German! I love it! <3 You really made my day!
Comment: Thank you so much for this postcard! Sorry that the rating is a tad late; I have been travelling and haven't been home to check the post.
I will treasure all these awesome stamps. xx
Comment: Thank you so much Amy! I'm pretty sure all of those stamps are new to my collection, love them all! I was just in San Fran for the holidays actually and love all the boba tea in Chinatown:) The circus themed goodies are so neat, thank you so much for everything♥
Comment: Thanks for the terrific card, Amy. The coffee print reminds me of a wood block print my brother made for a coffee shop,c. 1960's, (that unfortunately I couldn't find to use for my card!). Wonderful UN coffee stamp too. Sadly, some crazed US Postal System worker saw fit to slash through your beautiful vintage postage stamps with a broad black marker--but don't get me started... I must be in need of a cup of Cosmic Perfection!
Comment: Oh my goodness! Two 46 cent make my day surprises! How did you make the holder for the stamps? Loved all the different packaging ideas. You are first rate when it comes to making my day! A thousand thanks! Thanks for sending me the directions! You are THE BEST!
Comment: What a clever atc. I never would have thought of using that closure. Thank you for reading my profile and sending extra goodies. I would love to carve stamps, and have all the supplies to do so, just haven't the nerve to start one yet. Wonder Woman was my comic hero when I was young. Anyway, thank you for a great swap.
Joy
Comment: Your writing is like poetry! I loved reading this letter, especially the details of your home~ It was great to hear about your routines (I also have nail polish scattered around my desk and work area). Thanks so much for an awesome letter!
Comment: Beautiful! Thank you! I also love the kitty magnet en the extra UN stamps. This envelope made my so happy. Wishing you lots of happiness for 2014!
Comment: Hi Amy, I must be having a bad case of "dumb"... I didn't realize till just now that you were the same Amy D. that I know so well from the Consortium... I love your little fox!
And I really like all the stamps for this SB swap, and of course I love the PC... what could be better... a train
museum!
Hope you survived the snow!
Comment: Hey Amy! -thanks for using such wonderful Christmas postage! ♥♥♥ Always love seeing your carved images and thank you for the lovely foiled bits (will be perfect embellishments for some scrap ornaments I've thinking of making). Hope you're staying warm and enjoying the snow while it lasts :D
Comment: Wow- I am so amazed at the stamps you put on the envelope... where did you find them, I would live to get some for future swaps. And the pages you included are just what I have been looking for! Thanks so much!
