Comment: It has been over 3 months from the send date and I haven't yet received anything. I was willing to wait bit longer because the partner was active with taking contact (at late November) and asking if I have received the packet, and that it was known the post from Bulgaria can take longer time. However, it has been too long wait now and my previous message (sent January 19th) went unread so I feel it is time I give the rate. I am still willing to communicate about this and change the rating if the situation changes.

Comment: Thank you very much for the tea and lovely letter and the gorgeous paper goodies.

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely swap, Yuri! You were so generous for sending along so many goodies - I can't wait to try the chocolate and use the soap (which smells divine!). What a wonderful swap! Happy new year!

Comment: I finally saw the notice on my front door! For some reason I had to sign for it, oh well, good thing the post office is open for extended hours during the holidays. Thank you so much for the tea, I've been running low!

Comment: Thank you very much. The Ginger Lemon from Yogi Tea is also one of my favourites ;)

Comment: Yay! The package arrived today :) I am so happy! I love everything you picked for me especially the chocolate and soap :) I will enjoy them a lot. Thanks for the hand cream and writing papers too. Oh, I enjoy reading your letter too. Look forward to swap with you again next year. Cheers~

Comment: Hi Yuri! I was so happy to receive your weekend note. Except for the cold, Sofia sounds like a nice place to live. Florida is rainy today. The nights are a bit cooler, but days are still mostly high 80's. I adore the notepaper you wrote on. Thank you so much for including a few extra sheets for me! It is so hard to find notepaper sets here. In fact, you mentioned food swaps. I adore Japanese food and cooking Japanese food. I am having such a hard time finding ingredients here! Is sending food difficult? It sounds like fun. You have wonderful interests! Thank you so much again for the lovely note and the teas! Can't wait to try them. The Apple, Cinnamon & Raisin one sounds so intriguing! Such a lovely assortment! The cathedrals on the PC you wrote a note on are beautiful. What a lovely city and architecture! THANK YOU AGAIN! Extra hearts <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Comment: **Amazing** song choices! I love the Manic Street Preachers' version of "Umbrella," and "Mistaken for Strangers" is one of my favourite songs from the National, so I loved hearing a different take on it---it sounds great with the stripped-down piano and layered background vocals that Ian McGlynn gives it.

Comment: Thank you! :D

Comment: Great covers, Yurena!

Comment: Thank you for all the songs, I'm excited to listen!

Comment: Yurena, thank you so much for the books, little extras and lovely, interesting letter. You deserve an extra heart!

Comment: thank you for interesting writing. It reminds me to start again with spaish:), I already started few times:)

Comment: Yurena, you are amazing. I absolutely LOVE the cds. I wouldn't even be able to say my favorites because I like so many of them. Typically I don't put all the songs from a swap-bot cd on my itunes as I won't love ALL of them. But yours? Yeah, they're all on there. AND the chocolates! Oh goodness! Happy, happy day. I only got them today and already I've eaten 2 of them. (Don't tell anyone.) Anytime you want to do another one-on-one swap I'm game!

Comment: Thanks for everything! Loved it!

Comment: thank you for the big package of sweets and tea:))

Comment: Wow!! What an amazing package - the music, the goodies, if I could give extra beyond one heart, I would - this is definetely a triple-heart package - thank you very much, Canariangal78 - a truly outstanding swap partner you are!

Comment: sorry for not rating right away!! A few people didn't put their swapbot names on them, so I was trying to figure it who was who :)

Comment: Grsias querida!!! You are a great teacher! I'm writing to you while listening to the CD. I love the music. The artical you sent reminded me of my visit in Segovia, Toledo and Cordoba....(waw....Great music!) .Que lastima que no puedo escrivir Todo en Espanol.....I love the language!!!! I'll try the tea with my "marido" when he comes back "a la casa". Grasias por todo!

Comment: Thanks for all the links! We are supposed to have snow this weekend so I look forward to cozying up indoors with my computer and learning some new healthy info!

Comment: Thanks for the great links! I can't wait to do some exploring.

Comment: Thanks for the great mix!

Comment: Thanks very much for the CD and the treats - I like 'Alberta Bound' very much myself as well. If you like Paul Brandt - you should check out his cover of 'Convoy" it is very enjoyable.

 

Comment: What a wonderful package! I wish you hadn't had to buy a bag online. We surely could have agreed on something different, or I would have been happy with two from your one local store. I just hate to think of you paying double postage! And my daughter is going to really enjoy the sticker book, but I'm going to do my best not to share the candies. :o)

Comment: Thank you so much for the cd and for all the wonderful extras! I have to admit I didn't even know there was a Turkish deli in Tollcross, let alone a stationery shop near to one - next time I'm in that part of town I'll definitely go hunting :)

Comment: Sorry for the delay in my feedback. Thanks for the very nice postcard! Your handwriting is beautiful (reason for the heart :) Japan is wonderful. When I go back to work in January I'm going to start saving to go back. Every penny I can put aside to go back is very worth it! :) Good luck to you.

Comment: Finally got it, yay!

Comment: Muchas gracias por la carta, los postales, el mapa de Valladolid y las bolsitas de té :) Si algún día voy a la península, pues tendré que visitar Valladolid también como ya tengo mapa y todo ;)

Comment: thank you for the card and nice stamp, D!

 

Comment: The second set arrived today - so many!!! Each one is so beautiful, these are really wonderful - thank you - Anna

Comment: Thanks for the CD - and all your great selections - some old favourites, some new to me, thanks!

Comment: Excellent thanks so much!

Comment: Thank you for the CD. It was a great mix of music. I've never received a package from outside of the U. S. and It was thrilling to get it. Hubby said I was like a kid. Will be picking up the book you recommended. If you would like a good read "The Time Traveler's Wife" by, Audrey Niffenegger comes highly recommended by me. Thanks!!!!!

Comment: G'day Yurena.. ;) We don't really say G'day... but if I could give you two hearts just for you writing that I would.. awesome :) Thank you for the info your wrote to me about... it was really nice. And your writing is lovely. x
