Comment: Wow Ginger, thank you so much for your letter! the card, the goodies and the envelope were so pretty! I hope you and your husband stay safe and happy:)
Comment: Hi Ginger. I must tell you that your card is beautiful and if that is not a style, I don't know what is. My husband was so impressed by the envelope that he actually brought it into the bedroom where I was resting to show it to me! Don't worry about the pet peeve of mine. It was just something I thought of in passing a while back. No big deal and no anxiety! Your letter was so sweet. Thank you so much for everything!
Comment: Thanks for the resend Ginger. Wow the iris is a beautiful flower. I'm looking forward to resend #3 when it arrives. U have a wonderful time in Denver. I can't wait to travel. So envious that some countries are opening up to tourism already. Still stuck here. Let's hope 2022 is a year we can re-explore the world. π
Comment: Hi Ginger! You are right, the card you made is absolutely perfect for me! I, of course, love the pink and the kite and glittered polka dots make the card! Thank you very much.

Comment: Such a cute card. I really look forward to using it. I love the string with the tag on it. The finishing touch is the decorated envelope. Great swap. Thank you.
Comment: Thanks so much for the fabrics and patterns. The sewing machine fabric is so cute. I love the pattern too. It is a great pattern but I need to figure out a way to make it smaller. It is too large for my tree. And...the envelope art is a very nice touch. It made me feel special lots of πππππππππππππππ
Comment: Thank you so much for the sweet spring mini pockets! Spring used to mean seeds and planting but now there is no place for a garden! I grew up in Paonia, CO, and we always had a huge garden. Have never been to Orchard - maybe someday! Take care - thanks for hosting!
Comment: Wow, loved the card, such excellent work.
Loved my name on envy....you do great work. I saw all that snow other day on weather channel..we were in CO Spgs in 87 when there was a blizzard, my hubby was stuck at airport for about 36 hours. Memories.
Comment: I must begin by stating I absolutely love the envelope, & your beautiful calligraphy on the front. Thank you so much. <3 The little bag is too cute, and all the goodies inside. Oh my! The stamps are so cute. It was all so pretty. I love the muted green & pink.
Comment: Ha! My first one through!
I love the currency themed envelope you chose! And the cool stamp. And your stamping is lovely. I will admit, your envie will be ripped up and reused, the stamping and the paper, will all be turned into other things π
What a cool way to package this swap! Such great contents too! (Sorry, I tend to do a play by play like this as I open π.) The ribbon, and the tags, and wow, new stamps!!! I don't have any of these! Thank you πππ See you in the next swap

Comment: Thank you so much for your beautifully put together mail and for hosting the swap! Your handwriting is absolutely gorgeous and I loved the ATC you made! (also I'm new so if it's not called an ATC I'm sorry!)
Comment: Hey! Love your lettering and the way you stamped the envelope! I will be reusing that loveliness for something else! Wow, ok, I open up and you have made me a just perfect little pocket book! Gee, the folding on this looks pretty simple! I think I will see if I can copy it, because the effect is just beautiful! And all the tags and fox sticky notes and that cool floral mannequin cut out! These ancient female astronomer postcards are really something! And what's in this little handmade sunflower envelope? Oh! All these little stamped images and die cuts, perfect for my HMPC's or ATC's! Thank you so much! Now I have to see if I can copy your booklet design! ππππ»π»π»πππ
Comment: Getting your letter in the mail brightened my day! I really enjoyed reading your letter, although I hope Colorado has warmed up a little by now. Can't wait to try the tea. Thank you!
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful letter and the goodies! I was 6 months pregnant with my twin daughters and was watching the shuttle when it blew up. I still remember that day every year.

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful card! I absolutely love it! This one is so pretty that I will display it all year! Happy Valentine's Day! xo
Comment: Thank you for the pretty notecard and all of the books that you listed. I will definitely look them up and perhaps even order a couple of them. I am always up for a new read. Also thank you for the cute kitty note markers. I really can use them.
Comment: I love this card and thank you for the neat tuck-ins, also. The card gives me inspiration for Valentine's designs next year. What a good idea, especially for my pinochle friends. Happy heart day!
Comment: Oh my! Such wonderfulness! The Mickey and Minnie pop up card is gorgeous! All the typewriters and fun Golden Book pages! And then the beautiful Minnie and Mickey vintage fabric which is fantastic! You also made the lovely heart stamped envie with my name in pretty calligraphy and then the larger envelope so exquisitely collaged with the pinks and birds and flowers! (Now why do I always collage envies in beiges and not add that beautiful touch of color?!) I am beyond thrilled with your thoughtfulness and generosity! Thank you so much.
Comment: Thank you for sharing your weekend and for all the bright-coloured stickers :)
There was a fresh dusting of snow when your card arrived earlier in the week. It was very soothing to read about your weekend, and that was much appreciated for this week. Wishing you a wonderful 2021!
Comment: Thank you so much for the sweet note and for welcoming me to the community! I also loved the fabric samples- they will be perfect for a collage! Hope to swap with you again!
Comment: I'm so sorry! I forgot to rate you when I received it earlier this week! Love your letters! (one is on it's way for the current swap and response)
Comment: OMG there was so much! I loved everything though, and I have so many ideas. I hope you can join the next round. I have a million bead-related things to send out.
Comment: thank you so much for the lovely selection of goodies! i'm with you - i could do these stash busters every week and still not see the bottom of the pile! thanks for the partially sewed pieces! i can't wait to incorporate them into my ever growing project!
Comment: These note cards are great! I was actually starting to get low on blank notecards, so I will definitely put them to good use - or pass them along. Lately I've enjoyed seeing things more than keeping them, so its great to receive such nice cards knowing I'll have someone, in the future, to send them to, rather than just sitting in a stationery box that I don't use enough!
Comment: Thank you for my favorite kind of swap!! I too am a water baby!! I love the card and presentation..awesome! The fishies are too cute. The postcard and notecard are so pretty! Great swap. Hope we can do one like this again soon!P.S. I am an artist...I did paint the envelope. I have several 16X20's of the beach and one is in a thrift store for sale, I love doing beach ATC's
Comment: Thank you for the lovely card and especially the inserts; I love the stamp ephemera! The envelope is also one of my favorites I've received this year. Like you I have enjoyed the calmer holidays, taking more time to just enjoy the moments. Merry Christmas!
Comment: Your cards are beautiful! And so much neater and more professional than anything I've made so far! I love them! Can you tell me how you got the stitching lines so neat?
Comment: Thank you so much for all the goodies, I love how colorful they are! I use a bullet journal (that is sometimes more artistic and sometimes less :D), so they will come in handy for my setup for 2021!
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful Christmas tags Ginger! I would never have guessed that you are new to this! You certainly have a creative eye! I appreciated the decorated envelope as well as the nicely packaged tags! Have a wonderful Christmas season.
Comment: Thank you so much for the great swap. Was great reading your letter about your childhood Christmas cookies and making cookie dough with your mother-in-law.
Comment: Thanks! Swap name wasn't visible so I made hubby open the envie. He told me the swap info so I didn't peek but it smells wonderful!!!!!!! Update: may I just add how much Iadore you for this thoughtful, fabulous tote in my favorite color. Still smiling here in NC at the sight of it. Many, many thanks.

Comment: Wheeee! Thanks so much for the gorgeous gift bag and your story behind it! I love it all!
For stamp carving, I recommend drawing your design in pencil on tracing paper and then rubbing it on the speedball block to get your image outline. I follow some great ig block printers too, I recommend Flygurl_designs, studio.tokek, and littlerowanredhead to start! Happy carving!

Comment: Thanks for your stories. Portland is about an hour from here. We get there four or five times a year... in more normal times. The big hail storm missed us but we had some two days after. Fortunately, it was quarter to half inch and didn't damage anything but a few flowers.
I was born in 1952 so 8-tracks were brand new in the middle of my growing up.
