However, if that is our vice, then so be it! LOL! I send about 50 Christmas cards a yr as well and just love when I hear back from others! Thank you again for everything! All the Best! Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hugs and Happy Swapping! p.s. Your mailman stamps are awesome! Can I ask where you got them? So cool! ;)

Comment: Thanks for the swap. It must have gotten a little damp on the way, as a couple of the envelopes were glued shut. . . But I will make some for the fun cards you sent. and bonus!!! the post office didn't cancel the stamps! so free USPS. I love the shel silverstein stamp and the extra ounce school buses. Have a great day.

Hello Ate Karen! Just dropping by your profile to share to you a verse about strength as well ^^ I'm not your partner, but I just love doing profile comments :3 Hihi!

Share A Verse Of Strength swap: rarjones

When I pray, You answer me! You encourage me by giving me the STRENGTH I need. Psalm 138:3

I love that our God is a God that hears us and a God that wants to speak to us and reveal Himself and His will for our lives. Knowing that he is approachable and wanting to help in any situation brings strength. Blessings to you!

Hi ya! I'm your partner for the Easy Profile Comment #3! Wow! We have so many things in common! And so many of the same interests! 😄 I haven't made ATCs or inchies for a few years but still love 'em! And my favorite materials and colors are all natural... paper, wood, greens, blues, and browns.

Hope you're having a great start to the day! I'll leave you with this daily encouragement ... "The faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23)
