Comment: Love the owl family. I have collected owls for 35 yars. I have made a special binder for any owl ATC's. And this family will go into that binder.
Comment: Very cute, thank you! It's funny, I'm actually from Eden Prairie and I just go to school in Boston, so it's very appropriate that it's a Vikings one, haha!
Comment: I can see why everyone was eager to trade! (I felt kinda sorry for the partner I sent to...) Thanks for the extra, and the time you took to pick out the ATC's.
Comment: Thank you for the extra card! I liked your selection - especially the purple owl card. =) Thank you for building these swaps as well - it is a genius idea to enable people to pass on cards that maybe aren't their style, but will definitely be some one else's prize.
Comment: Thanks for the 5 sweet postcards :) I was nearly sad not to read more about each card and that you did not write on the back of each postcard for my collection but it seems it was not so clear in the description on the swap so not so evident that I thought ;) Thanks in all cases :) Loulou
Comment: Please tell Derek I loved his ATC. The tiny pebble and "log" were wonderful touches. I can't believe he gave up the antique hook. Very creative and nicely done. Thanks!
Comment: I don't know what's up with swap-bot right now but it won't let me give you a heart. But I'll keep checking for when I can. Thanks for the cool ATCs! I like them all!
Nevermind, it worked! :)
^v^
Comment: I did not get the ATC and the resend postcard. My last pm to you was unread too. I know that you're getting some help to send out your swaps and I hope you havent left me out. I will change the rating once something comes in. Sorry to promt you this way. (*latest update on 10/06/2009: received Kelly mail today with extras. Thank you for making things right again. I love the coins specially!)
Response: I have resent a third time and this package included another ATC to replace the first one as well as a postcard to replace the resend postcard that never made it to you.
Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely note about how your summer went and how far you got toward reaching the goals you set for yourself. Congratulations on participating in 100 swaps now. If you haven't gotten your Washington scrap for your 50 states quilt, by all means pm me and I'll send you one!
Comment: Hello! Thank you for the nice letter and for the extras! Middle age is a fascinating period, I agree. The trick is that all that you mentioned would have been lived only by a very rich and lucky girl ;) Which would have been great of course! I love the dresses in the pic you added too...very charming...
Comment: I got the package today and everything was great! The teas for our swap and the stuff for the tag too. It was a lovely package to receive. Thank you Kelly!
Comment: Thank you so much. I love it. I will try to get my mom to take a picture of it and then send it to you. I'm not sure when it will be our schedules are so different.
Comment: Cleopatra certainly did enjoy your letter as we sat and read it together! She actually seemed like she knew what I was saying to her...love the stickers too!
Comment: Thanks for the letter. I agree it would be fascinating to visit native Americans befoe there was an America. Have you read Louise Erdrich's novels? She's part Ojibwa and some of her characters usually are, in some novels more than others -- these are modern Ojibwa -- very different I assume. But interesting.
Comment: Thanks for setting up this swap since I somehow got dropped from your last one! I can totally relate to your story - I've done similar things a time or two.
Comment: Thanks for telling me about that part of China, I was in that general area a couple years ago, northwestern Yunnan but didn't get to spend time in the mountains. I hope you gained an appreciation for the Tibetan culture [a passion of mine] and are watching the news of the past few weeks. Reuters has good coverage on the internet
Comment: Thank you Kelly, for the heartfelt, handwritten letter which was probably very difficult for you to write. I know mine was. I want you to understand that you are a special, unique individual whose life is very worthwhile. I hope for you all the happiness and love you deserve!!! Thank you for sharing your story.
Comment: Thank you so so much :D I love your ATC, mushrooms are seriously the best tee hee All your extras were so sweet!! The tea made it smell FABULOUS lol Can't wait to try it!
Comment: Kelly, you're awesome. I can't thank you enough for sending treat for both my kids. You sent a double package and I wish I could you give you multiple hearts :)
Comment: yea!! what a lovely assortment of goodies! Thanks!! I am confounded by the mystery item... I was able to discover it is written in Chinese. I think I can get someone to translate it though.. I will let you know!
Comment: WOW, what a beautiful scarf! I hope I can learn to knit that well someday. The oven mitt has already saved my husband from the pizza pan tonight and I'm wondering what to create with those beads. Thanks for swapping!
Comment: Kelly,
Thanks so much for the letter and the bag of tea. I needed "calm" tea today.
Anyway, I've always been interested in reading the Harry Potter series and I probably will after your letter. The Vice President of the agency I work for LOVES the books.
Take care,
Cristy
Comment: What a great letter! And so true about needing to support people when they need a little extra help! Thanks also for the tea-- it'll come in handy!
Comment: Thank you for the letter. We seem to follow a lot the same Goddesses and have similar ideas on our spirituality. Thanks for the extra ribbons also. :)
Comment: Kelly, you were a wonderful coordinator and a wonderful partner. I loved reading all of your information and I look forward to swapping with you again. Thanks.
Comment: Wow!! Thank you so much for this package. I love everything!! The little loon figurine is so cute, and I love the owl stickers and paper!! The mix cd looks great-- thank you for also including the tracklisting! And the notebook comes at just the right time.. I just finished filling up my last lined notebook. Thanks again for such a great package!

Thanks for the lovely letter.
