Comment: Hi Lauren! Thanks so so much for the re-gift. I loved the whole lot and my daughter absolutely loved the special stickers. I really appreciate the extra effort :)
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful swap, too bad one can only give one heart because you deserve at least two :) I can't wait to try the teas and I'm in love with the socks (those socks are perfect for me since I love everything with country flags), I also love all those little extras. The flag card is perfect for my collection and I'm surprised how nice the ad cards are (the one for Shaun Tan's books looks simply fantastic while the one for the "National Literacy & Numeracy Week" is very original). You made really very happy with this swap :) Oh and I would love to be your penpal and if you want I can also write the first introduction letter to you.
Comment: Lauren, Thank you for such a pretty card and for taking the time to lay out the saying so nicely, I will take to work and display it so I can enjoy it every day. Happy Swapping. Sue
Comment: I really like your resolutions and goals. Thanks for introducing me to this site, it seems perfect for all the changes I want to get rolling over the year. I love #8 and 9 of your life goals, great ideas. And I especially like 5 and 9 in your resolutions. I just tossed so many mags today my back is breaking. Good luck on all your goals and happy new year!
Response: Thanks! I <3 43things.com and I'm glad you like it too!
Comment: Thank you for the list and the youtube links (Most of them don't play, but thats a regional thing and I looked up the songs by myself. I also know an like "clap your hands" , "Be somebody" and "Cooler than me". But also some of the others songs, I don't know before, are good.
Response: Oh, I didn't realise some of the youtube links wouldn't work outside of Australia. :( But I'm glad you enjoyed some of the music anyway!
Comment: I liked your book choices, have read Midwives. I met Chris Bohjalian and am a FB friend. I really like his books, especially Transister Radio and Double Bind. I love (and hate) his endings, which are not predictable. I also loved the postcard, thank you! I went to her website on etsy but she's on vacation!
Response: glad you liked it!
I hadn't read (or heard of) Chris Bohjalian's other books- I'll have to see if they're available in Australia! :)
Comment: Thanks, Lauren. Nice card.
I once spent Christmas in a warm climate and loved every minute of it. BBQ'd steaks instead of turkey, playing golf on boxing day. Great fun!
Comment: I really enjoyed your letter to Santa. :) I particuarly liked that you put in the websites to find the things at.. that will make Santa's shopping a lot earlier. Merry Christmas!
Comment: Thanks for sharing and CONGRATS on your weight watchers!!!!! I am Mom to 4 grown boys (older two are twins) Enjoy your son while he is young-I miss my boys being little. Happy Holidays
