Comment: thanks for the postcard from Ireland I really like it. Its nice to know that you read my profile which made it very personal so that is why I'm giving you a heart.
Comment: Thank you! Your lovely handmade card finally arrived here! (Took the long road I guess.) It's very striking with the gold ink on black! Happy New Year!
Comment: yummy, strawberries...mmmm...thanks! I agree--getting a perfect one is sublime. I've heard there are tiny alpine strawberries one can grow from seed in the garden that have lots of that intense aroma and flavor. Worth a shot if you've got a garden (or even a patio--in a strawberry pot!)
Comment: A for sure favorite! Love the Irish Last Breakfast. I can't imagine eating all that food for breakfast and I'm not sure what black and white pudding is, but I like the idea of those big frothy glasses of Guinness :-) Thank you!
Comment: Thank you, I loved the note explaining your favorites. I used to do "Shakespeare competitions" in highschool where I'd recite a monologue & a sonnet, I chose that one once. Thank you for reminding me of it!
Comment: Cool! Irish pubs for my beverage collection :-) I like deserted beaches best, too. My mom lives on Cape Cod (the bit of Massachusetts that looks like an arm) and we love to visit her in the autumn when there is no one around to crowd the beaches.
Comment: I've received your swap today. It was interesting to read. Thank you very much I enjoyed it and I also love the extra! Thanks again and I hope to be partners with you again in other swaps. Bye! :-)
Comment: What a *beautiful* place! It is now on my list of places I must visit. How stunning. Thank you so! Have you seen "The Secret of Roan Inish"? ...the scenery and fairytale-like magic reminds me of that card.
Comment: Giving you a heart for attempting to tidy up,us creative types may as well give up,showed my mum yours and she said oh my god you are all the same.
Response: I laughed out loud at that. My beading table is more orgainised now though;)- for the time being anyway. Thank you for the heart.
Comment: I loved the package you sent. You are totally right that here in the US we cannot purchase the 'eggs' I love them since I always had them as a child. I am from Canada. Both of the yarns are also wonderful!The organic chocolate was also great!Thanks for an super package!
Comment: I was actually hoping you'd send me exactly what you did: a stone from a rock fence! We had a few of those in Tennessee, too, on the older homeplaces. Thank you so much! It fits my hand perfectly.
Comment: Loved the postcards (no duplicates :)!) and the brochures. One day I'll get to visit. My mom went and all she brought back to me were fabulous pics of painted sheep on the hillside. :)
Comment: Everything was Absolutely beautifu1! including the rock! Oh my gosh it's great...it looks like glass with sand in it with the variations. Thank you soooo much.
Comment: Dear Siobhan, Thank you so much for the "soothing" items you sent to me for this swap. I haven't used anything yet, but I am looking forward to enjoying the foot soaks and drinking the tea while my feet are soaking. The purple sticker(the little extra) put a smile on my face, very important in my life and will be used probably in some future swap down the road. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and care in preparing this package for me. Hope to meet you in a future swap down the road.

P.S. Never been to Ireland but a place I would love to visit someday.
Comment: Thank you so much! Love the flower and appreciate the work that went into it!! My kids went through a phase where they dyed their hair with kool-aid but this is my first flower dyed with it. :D
