Comment: Oh, Sonia! What an awesome flipbook with so much to discover! Your detailing is amazing...such lovely work. The puffin tag made me smile :) The Bald Eagle fascinates me. I watch a live cam from January until the nestlings fly in June and often inflict it on my students. Thank you too for the old envelope. Of course, it will be used!!

Comment: Thank you for your beautiful ATC! I really appreciate both the packaging and your creativity in the execution. Love the textures and the composition! <3 I also completely agree with your note. It is so devastating to see decades of progress ruined with so much ignorance and greed. Please be sure that there are many people (including me) actively fighting against this new status quo.

Comment: Wow!! I love the design you chose for your dream data. It's beautiful. And it's amazing how many dreams you remembered in a week. I usually only remember one or two. Some of your dreams had me giggling... like the one of the police watching YouTube videos in your office. Thanks for being a part of this swap :)
Response: Thanks for your rating and the heart. I dreamed I was building a greenhouse last night, and that two tadpoles I was babysitting dried out because I left them on the carpet with their toys for too long. I'm not sure how I would have encoded that on the postcard! Thank you for the swap, I realy enjoyed it. Fancy hosting another at some point?

Comment: Thank you. I love the simplicity of this postcard. I'm going to have to find a magnifying glass to read it though. The eyes aren't what they used to be. ;D
Response: Thank you for your positive feedback and for the heart. It's always useful to hear which aspects were particularly pleasing (or not): it's my motor to change and improve. Sorry about the tiny writing. I love to cram in as much text as possible, because for me, mail art is primarily mail, and that means lots of writing! I'll try to remember next time and either type or write in block capitals. See you next swap!

I have a friend who is in Aix-en-Provence right now! Enjoy your trip to Italy!!!!! Thank you so much again!!!
Response: Thanks for your effusive praise: I'm very glad you liked the things I sent. Aix is lovely, but I prefer nearby Marseille, which is more lively and heterogeneous. My trip to Tuscany was fabulous. Art, food, nature, architecrure, wine, gelato and lively people. Ciao!

Comment: Chère Sonia, merci pour ta carte postale! Qui, nous félicitons Noël le 6 décembre. Je ne pense pas que pour voir le ballet on doit parler russe, on peut lire l'information sur le sujet de performance en anglais dans les bouclettes qû peut acheter au théâtre :) Malheuresement, il y a beacoup de gens qui ne parlent pas l'anglais, mais d'habitude en été il y a des volontaires qui parlent anglais, indiquent le chemin et aident les étrangers. J'espère que tu a passé ton examen de la langue francais et que tu as réussi. Moi, je aussi apprends le francais dans l'académie ou j'étudie, je l'apprends pour ma plaisir, car ce n'est pas la discipline obligatoire. Je crois, que un joir tu visiteras Russie et liras les livres que tu veux lire en Russe. Merci beaucoup pour créer cette échange! Bonne continuation! Marie
Response: Chère Marie (Masha?) Oui, j'ai reussi mes examen et je les ai fêté dans un restaurant francais: délicieus! Merci pour ta participation.

Comment: Thanks so much for the very cool heart! I love both sides of it, but I was surprised how nice the side with the bubble wrap turned out. I love reusing and including items meant for other purposes in my projects too! You mentioned owl pellets in your note and our family loves dissecting them too. My son is in Boy Scouts and it was the first time I had ever seen a pellet right around 2010. Since then we have dissected many. Love it! Thanks again for my Bird On a Heart!
Response: Thank you for your kind words. The bubble wrap side is the "front" in my opinion, but I like the idea of having a diurnal and a nocturnal side. I wish you and your son many happy dissections!

Response: The "day of the postage stamp" is lovely, isn't it? Simple and clear. I enjoy sending out German stamps with hearts on them. We're not the first country one associates with love and kindness, so using this stamp puts a smile on my face!

Love your envie with all the stamps & stickers, plus the card playing royals on the postage stamp are a hoot! The Surrealist Encounters exhibit does indeed sound like something I'd enjoy. If only my bicycle really COULD fly!
Response: Thank you for repairing the postcard. The card playing royals is one of my favourite stamps. I particularly like the queen's smug grin! I've now visited the "surrealist encounters" four times. I was delighted to see that the curator has made an effort to include art by women.

Response: Thank you for your kind words and the heart. I was going through old photos just before Christmas, and I found a picture of Gnatasha's (empty) crysalis. Have you seen the BBC series "Life in the Undergrowth"? It's by David Attenborough and was released in 2005. Our library has it on Blu-Ray. It is just fascinating. My favourite bit is when Sir David has a velvet worm on his arm (not actually a worm). He gazes at it all misty-eyed and calls it "an enchanting little creature". And he's right!

I love the entire package. The card you made is lovely - feels like a special or handmade paper, too. And the goodies are great! Last, but not at all the least - and the reason I'm listing it last is because I didn't notice it until I'd opened up everything else - I love the Top Value stamp next to the postage stamps! How fun is that - I was cracking up when I saw it! I love those and S&H Green stamps - they remind me of pasting them in Mom's book when she got home from the store! Thanks for a great Chinese New Year prep!
Response: Thank you for your kind comments and the heart rating. Funnily enough, the card I used is from a binder divider: just cheap recycled card. But I like its velvety texture, too. Happy new year!

Comment: As soon as I saw your envelope in my mailbox I could tell this was going to be a wonderful swap and it was! I absolutely love your envelope and the creative way to open it without destroying it. Your kind note has brightened my day. What a cute card you used and your handwriting is so pretty! I do like living in my new house, even better than when I lived in the country (I live in the suburbs now). If you can believe it it's actually quieter here than when I lived on some acreage! Yes! Everytime I've moved I noticed I can't seem to find everything I had before. Why is that?! It seems like no matter how good you label the boxes things still seem to disappear. Haha I enjoyed hearing about the Christmas markets and I have longed to go to one for years. I dislike crowds, but I think putting up with this would be worth the experience. There's actually a Christmas market in Holland (28 minutes from me) this weekend that I hope to attend. Holland is one of my favorite cities as it's very quaint and you can find many imported merchandise. I appreciate you reading my profile and sending me things that I was sure to love. :) I look forward to putting all the items to good use. Thank you so much for your kindness!!! I wish you a very Merry Christmas!!!
Response: Thank you for your long message and the heart. Do you know, I can't remember what I sent? Never mind, I know I had fun putting it together. I really enjoy the profile-based swaps. It's a nice way to get to know eachother better. Yesterday evening I went to one of our Christmas markets. It was perfect weather: dry and cold, dark early, so all the lights transformed my city into something magical. Here in Germany, Sunday evening is the best time to go if you don't like crowds: enough people for it to be busy and have a good atmosphere, but short waits for the mulled wine (Glühwein) and enough room to stand away from the smokers (if smoke makes you sneeze, as it does me). I love the German Christmas markets! It's just as Christmas should be, in my opinion! Have fun in Holland!

Comment: Merci beaucoup pour une carte postale très jolie -- j'aime les dessins de Robert Morris parce qu'il combinait des techniques médiévales avec un esprit victorien. Vous avez une belle écriture :) Merci aussi pour le lien vers le ballet! Je me souviens d'étudier Peer Gynt dans la classe d'appréciation de musique comme un enfant. Je rêve de regarder Le Casse-Noisette dansé par New York City Ballet. Danseur étoile Sara Mearns semble brûler comme une flamme quand elle danse; j'aime sa passion, son intensité et son énergie. Félicitations pour votre cours et votre citoyenneté!
Response: Salut! C'etait William Morris, n'est pas? Pas important, ca que compte est que ma carte postale t'a plaît. La ballett de Peer Gynt dans ma ville est un (relativement) nouveau composition. J'ai oublié le componiste, mais ce n'est pas Grieg. C'est colossal, vraiment formidable! Merci pour la coeur, malgre mes connaissances de la langue Francais!

Response: So glad you like it. Yes, those apples were delicious, and because they were organic, you could just eat them straight off the tree, earwigs and all! The farmer didn't care how many we ate, but I confess that he laughed rather heartily when we got bellyache.

Love the "bloody" fingerprints. It's all so very creative! To answer your question - there are days that I'm so far outside my comfort zone that I wonder what I've gotten myself into! Those are the best days! LOL Thanks again!
Response: Good for you! The comfort zone is only there for returning to after excursions in the unknown! The photo album is a real treasure. I'm sure the people whose photos were available at a car boot sale would rather be turned into ATCs than be forgotten entirely.

Comment: Ahhh thank you so much for the lovely postcard + drawing! I just put it up my wall. Where did you get the inspiration for egyptian theme? 💫
Response: I'd have explained on the card, but the swap brief explicitly forbade it, which made it more fun, in my opinion. The plaster bust of Nofretete that I drew is in the Neues Museum of Berlin, which is on the front of the card. No German (or nearly-German, like me) can think of the Neues Museum without thinking of Nofretete. If you are ever in Berlin, you must see her. She is the most beautiful thing you can imagine.

I loved my Spirograph set when I was a kid and what a great idea to decorate an envie with along with your local stamps. Great swap! Thanks so much.
Response: Yes, they're stamps. I liked the contrast of the flowery stamps and my crooked home-made skull stamp with three teeth. I'm glad you liked the ATC and you share my glee at finding a spirograph!

One was a deaf hunting dog, a wire-haired terrier mix of 14 years. I love old dogs, I don't mind if they smell. She let me scratch her flank and leaned right in against me to get more. Perhaps the best was a strapping German shepherd bitch with the incongruous name of "Mäuschen" (little mouse). She ran at the river full tilt and did the most spectacular crashing bellyflop I have ever seen! It's a wonder there was any water left.

Response: Thank you for your praise! I have a lot of fun making these challenges, but the cherry on top is hearing that the recipient likes them, too.

Comment: Beautiful postcard! I don't have anything like it! I appreciate the time and effort you spent on creating it. I treasure it. Thank you for the paper ephemera too. Just what I love!🍓
Response: Thank you for your kind words. I enjoyed making it, too. I think it's important to keep our folk art alive, and Swapbot is a good place to do it. AMA sender's choice is coming your way, too. Different theme, though...I'm interested to hear what you think of it.
