Comment: Sorry for the late rating, I got your swap! Thank you for the recipes annd extra recipe cards. I actually have beef stew meat in the freezer right now so I will have to try the beef tips and gravy recipe! Have a great day 🧡
Comment: Thanks for the easy yummy looking recipes and the recipe cards! They don't carry cream of onion soup in my store so I will substitute cream of potato soup. I no longer plant a garden. We used to plant tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc. Thanks so much!
Comment: Thank you for the pretty card and stickers. My 2 year old granddaughter has been having so much fun with all of the Christmas stickers I’ve been receiving 🤗🎄

Comment: Thanks for the pretty card!! Thanks so much for the stamps!! I can always use them!! LOL
We have got enough snow this year! I hope it is done here. We are looking forward to spring so we can work in the yard and plant flowers and some veggies! I hope your onions grown really well!

Comment: Thank you for this cute little card! I had a friend like that in middle school who was SO against wearing anything feminine. In our high school orchestra, all the girls had to wear dresses and she ended up looking really pretty in one! Thank you for the stamps, too!!
Comment: Thank you, Karen, for the cute Christmas card and matching envelope and the sticker enclosures! Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄♥️... Karla, 12/20/22
Comment: Thanks for the note and Halloween stickers. Sending wishes that the website helps your writers block. I have found myself in a slump with scrapbooking and reading, which used to be my things.
Comment: Thank you kindly for the pretty notecard! I so appreciate the postage stamps! The quote of Bob Hope's is wonderful... it is best to have a generous heart, I believe. Happy Swaps!
Comment: Thank you for the notecard and sharing with me about the hot weather you've been having. It's been the same here, the heat index was 104 yesterday and we've had above temps for a few weeks now. My husband likes to take his walks at the hottest part of the day and I worry about him, because we are not as young either. Thank you for the loose stickers too! Enjoy your day!
Comment: I LOVE yard sales! I'm going this weekend! I mostly work wkends, buit taking a few days off. My husband is not into it, I wake up at 6 and hit the 7am yard sales!!LOL yea, I get the good stuff! New Sketchers for work, $5 last time I went to the sales. ANd one lady gave me free stuff cause it was so late in the day! Happy Swapping and Yard saling!! Thank you for the goodies.
Comment: Oh I'd love to have a blackberry bush! I should think about that - I love container gardening! Good luck with yours! Thanks for the stamps and note!
Comment: Hello! Thank you very for the sweet note card and I love the extras too. I am realizing how much I love tags! Nice to hear of your garden… I’m looking forward to planting when our yards are done being landscaped. I have daffodils in pots to go in! Peace and Happy Swaps.
Comment: Thanks for the card and stickers! Totally get the weather issues. Cold one day, warm the next. And my sinuses hate it!!!! My dad plants a garden every year and I benefit from it.
Comment: I may be the only one that feels this way, but I think there's something so fun about opening an envelope and finding stickers so glittery that they shed ♥ I may or may not have fluffed it into my hair, haha. And Oreo sounds a lot like my Frumpkin! He only eats one flavor of food, and he pretty exclusively plays with the plastic from the top of M&M packages. Cats are so ridiculous, and I love them so much~!
Comment: Wow, I think it's really cool that you get to see/read the Amish newspaper, the Budget! Also, to be able to be penpals with an Amish family must be really interesting! Thank you for the note and stickers :)
Comment: Thank you for the lovely butterfly notecard and pretty extras. I’ve had a cold so it’s nice to read a kind note just for me! I like yard sales too… c’mon warm weather.
Comment: Thank you for your card and cute stickers. I hope your weather turned out the way you wanted. It's usually rain for us in the winter but we did have snow over Christmas. It stuck around for about a week before the rains came back and it all went away. Take care and stay safe!
Comment: Thank you so much. Sweet card with lovely extras! Yes… we had snow but now I’m happier driving now that it’s off the roads and pretty much melted:) …Just a kind suggestion-I didn’t know the swap name as it wasn’t labeled…had to do some “looking.” I’m a mail hobby person so lots of incoming to sort through. I’m sure you just forgot.
Comment: Hi Karen! Thanks for the lovely card and note! I hope your "fall cleaning" is going well! We're doing some donations too. Thanks so much for the postage! Take care!
Comment: Thank you for the interesting note (I love the shoes) and the postage stamps. They always come in handy. I don't have that style. Happy swapping.
Comment: Thank you for your nice card and message. I'm sorry your garden didn't do well this year. I have a beautiful crop of weeds in mine! LOL! Thank you for the generous extra of stamps, especially since stamps are going up soon. Very much appreciated! :) Take care and have a good week.
Comment: It was nice to receive your letter. I'm not ready for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Raised bed gardening worked well for my back, but the soil was $$ and the squirrels, simply loved it and the delicate vegetable sprouts. I'll write you a letter soon. Stay well.
Comment: Hi! Received your first envelope—thank you! I will update this as they come in. *8/17: Today the Week 2 envelope of stickers arrived, thank you! Loved the doughnuts and sweets theme so much. =) *8/21: Week 3 arrived today. And I love it! Also, I was out of town the last week of August, and very much enjoyed all the Halloween stickers and other adorable stickers you shared. Thanks for a month of fun goodies!
Comment: The tea (is never tried that before!) and your letter were both wonderful! I couldn’t help but wonder what you’ll be putting in your garden this year! We are getting our sprouts ready today so it brought your letter to life. I hope it’s a wonderful garden for you guys! Have a great Spring! ♥️Debbie
Comment: Thank you, Karen. The cover of the journal really caught my eyes because it looks just like my cat. I'll try the herbed whipped butter & Graham brownies recipe soon.
Comment: Hej Karen,
Received your note. Will write soon.
I have never thought to use salsa on spaghetti...will have to give that a try. Now that you have me thinking about it...it does some rather appealing.
cheers,
eel
Comment: I've had your letter for several days thinking it was a pen pal letter and didn't realize it was for a swap until I finished writing you and saw the swap at the very bottom of the page. I'll go ahead and send the letter. I enjoyed your letter and can't imagine tent camping with the tent on top of the car. I hope you get to take a camping trip while the weather is cool.
Comment: Thank your Karen for the random goodies, i am excited about the pink price tag (I know it's silly, but I have been wanting one to play with and alter) 😜 And I am working on a special journal for someone special that LOVE pink!
Comment: Thank you for the very nice letter Karen! I honestly didn't mean to hold up my rating so long, but I had somehow put your letter in a folder I carry back and forth to work. I moved some papers in it this morning and found your letter! I apologize! I would love to write back to you and hope to do so within the next week or so!
Comment: I enjoyed your note card. I am hoping for a few more snowstorms before spring comes...but right now it is raining alot. ugh...
Enjoy your week. We've grown lots of veggies and canned them. ive not canned recently as life has gotten crazy.

Comment: Merry Christmas Karen! Thank you for such a pretty card. The Heart is for writing a wonderful note, about your family gathering for Christmas. We have a huge family on my mom's side and I have 5 children, one of which lives here. But the 4 oldest will be here the 23rd with their children. I'm so glad I have a big house!
Comment: Can't wait to try the tea, thanks! I have never received this flavor before. In your note you talk about needing some fall decorations. I've actually gotten some through swaps & I know I won't use them, would you want to do a private swap for them? PM me if so :) Happy Fall!

Comment: thank you for ypur noce letter. my daughter also loves cookbooks. i understand going to the store alot to keep fridge full. i say it is a love / hate relationship with electronics!!

Comment: Thank you for the coffee/tea stickers! My Dollar Tree only had one set, so now I can keep one for me and create some projects to share with the other one. Lol, I had to smile when I got 3 swap partners with the first name of Karen, being sure to rate the right one. :) Have a great day!

Comment: Thank you Karen for the great swap you sent. I love it all, but the 2 beautiful nc's are my favorites! Punch studio and Vera Bradley! I didn't even know Vera Bradley made cards! I love her designs. Thank you so much! Happy Spring! :D
Comment: Thank you for the adorable note card and the tea. I see you read my profile, thank you and because you took time to see I do have a food allergy you get a heart for that.
Comment: Thank you for the nice note and the postcards! I remember the days when you could find postcards everywhere. Now, I order them online or go to the down town bookstore. Those are the only places I know of that sell them around here :(
Comment: Hi Karen! The notecard is beautiful! I know what you mean - I am so ready for Spring right now. Good luck with your planting. It sounds like you'll have a beautiful garden and plenty of hummingbirds who will come and admire it. Thank you for the stickers and tags too. I love to use them in my journals!
Comment: I enjoyed reading your letter. This has been a great swap. I really thought that the 10 partners was a misprint but I am glad that I joined. It is nice to get all of the mail. Thanks for the heart stickers!!!
Comment: Hi Karen! Your swap arrived tonight and it was so marvelous to receive your friendly kind note! I loved seeing the Eiffel Tower on the front of the note. As i looked at it it took me back to a memory that i had from the past and it was a beautiful memory! Glad to hear that you love to travel adn yes i do think that you should just make a little statement on your profile to let others know....dont forget what you love! Maybe someone will.tell you one of their great all time travel stories! So glad that you went to Hawaii and experienced the gentle beauty there. Thank you Karen for taking the time to write such a kind heartfelt letter and write to someone you did not know. I so appreciated it! Thank you for the gift that you included too! These gifts can be used in creating more works of art!

Comment: Hello, I can so understand it is so hard.. I love chocolate. but water does get old so i have started adding lemon juice to it or drinking warm water with lemon juice, I actually gained 4 pounds on cruise but that isn't as bad as it sounds,., all you do is eat. I usually walk alot on cruise but mother didnt seem up to the walking, I am hoping to get back on track.. I need to lose about 100 because i eat too much and sit way to much,
