Comment: Courtney, I received your letter yesterday and I absolutely love the drawing you did! What a beautiful magpie. ๐๐๐The information you included made it all the more special-- I have never heard that rhyme but it's so sweet! Thank you for this lovely swap.
Comment: I love your piece so much! The ducks are so adorable and i love all the bear themed tuck-ins :> Thank you so so so much for reaching out to do an art trade, this has to be one of my favorite things Iโve ever received on swap-bot, I really hope you enjoy my piece too!!!
Comment: I received this from my sister a few days ago! We have been in the middle of moving so this is the first opportunity to rate you - I quickly looked through the envelope and know I'll love everything. Thanks for swapping with me :)
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful package and all the goodies (and three new-to-me teas to try!!) And I am ALWAYS excited to meet another vegan! <3 <3 <3
Comment: Thank you! These are teas we don't have in the states, we have Pukka but I haven't seen the Peace one. Blackcurrant is usually not found in the states, but as a child my mom would make us drinks with Ribena.
Comment: Thanks for your swap! I loved reading about what you would do in my area :) I have been to Oldenburg once, but a really long time ago! I regularly go to Germany for groceries though, but to other cities nearby. Last year I visited your area a little bit, I was in Bideford and Branscombe and I looooved how beautiful it was everywhere. I visited Exeter as well for a day. It's such a beautiful area of England!
Comment: Omg I am so obsessed with everything you sent me! I loved reading about the time you spent on the lake and everything you sent is so pretty! Thank you so much :)
Comment: Thank you for the cute lil envelopes, I am so excited to open all of them โค๏ธ I will try not to open them all too soon, though it's hard since I'm curious what's inside - but I want the joy to last longer!
Comment: Thank you so much for the great swap. Wish I could give you more than just one heart. You even create a quiz for the swap, so creative! Absolutely love it. It was great to learn about your place.
Comment: Thank you! I really enjoy seeing what people send and finding something to do with them! I love crafting and putting things in my junk journal. I misplaced my envelope so had to come back after looking through it all OMG โค๏ธโค๏ธ I think me liking it ALL covers it! I especially like the Kaiser Turkey because I worked for a company with that name and really donโt like them ๐คฃ๐คฃ just wow! You are amazing ๐คฉ
Cheers,
Betsy
Comment: Thanks for this beautiful swap! I love how you decorated the envie as well as the Pine Bunting information card. Thanks too for the extras. They will be great for future swaps! We have Pine Siskins here. They have a strange mechanical bell sounding call. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Comment: Thank you so much for sending your clay creation. I have just retrieved the package from my hold mail and I am so happy to open it and find that the bowl arrived safely.
Comment: What a beautiful envelope - so creative & all of the book themed goodies were just lovely :-) Thank you so much for everything, Courtney (heart)!
Comment: Hi Courtney! I loved all the goodies that you picked for me...they were perfect! And I loved the adorable envelope too. Thank you so much for everything :-)
Comment: This is hands down one of the BEST swaps I have ever received. You put so much thought into the decoration, and were so generous with what you included. I appreciate it deeply. I am most amazed by the very nice wax seals!(( I also love the ghibli card)), Everything was so aesthetically pleasing and will be used in my personal journaling. Thank you!!
Comment: Thank you for such a thoughtful swap, you've clearly read my profile so carefully matching up likes and interests - really appreciate that. Thank you for a great swap x
Comment: Radiohead is so good! Itโs interesting that you had Captain Beefheart on your list. I was reading a book that mentioned him. Thank you for sharing your playlist.
Comment: Thank you for this awesome playlist! So far my favorite has been 'Where I End and You Begin' by Radiohead, I hadn't heard this one before :) Take care and have a wonderful summer!
Comment: OMG! That couldn't be more true! I am house hunting because the apartment I rent (in a house) is being foreclosed on! Things aren't going the way I thought they would, to say the very least! Thank you for the great reading. <3
Comment: thank you for your story, I personally dislike dolls, the kind that move their eyes, though i can't even remember why. It's been a fear I have and so both my kids grew up with plushies and action figures.
Comment: Oh wow! The only way I could read your story was to read it out loud to my hubby, if that was ok. I have a real doll-phobia! He also encouraged me to listen to the recording as well! Even though it seems like Beau and Davin are good spirits, I still got goosebumps all over my body! And I do think Beau misses you as well :)
Comment: Okay... I am the type that loves/hates paranormal stuff, but the one thing I hate most are haunted dolls. I avoid everything with scary/vintage dolls, haha. This story just gave me the creeps. And indeed it does sounds like they say Beau. Hopefully, for you, it is the ghost that was attached to the doll.
Comment: Great story. And you're braver than I. Years ago I went to the Paranormal Museum in Asbury Park. They have a haunted doll collection. I couldn't stay in the room, such a creepy atmosphere. Thanks for sharing your experience. This was a great swap.
Comment: Hello Courtney, thank you for your email. The park Stromovka is one of the most favorite summer places. -- There are so many pubs here around which offer traditional czech food, so it's fairly easy to find some. Although some of them are a bit... ehm, low-category.
Comment: Great choices! I like the small town not far from my village called Pszczyna, it has a lovely park! Bielsko-Biaลa is a home for old Polish cartoons, therefore a really sentimental place :D
Comment: Thank you for your envelope of goodies. Our granddaughter will wear the scrunchie for sure. The summer flower candle will make me long for my flowergarden. I ate the candy already, yumm. Lovely notecard too. Happy Holidays!!
Comment: I absolutely LOVE the little enderman, thank you so much! ๐ And I love the way you matched the stickers and extras to his color scheme. Thank you for such a thoughtful swap~!
Comment: I love how you wrote the title for the zine. Your handwriting is so preatty. I love the red colors and it was just so bright. You are a good artist too. Thanks.
Comment: First off, TYSVM for joining my swap!๐ Which was truly so much fun! I too believe in the Paranormal and always have since I was a kid. I have so many ghostly stories. But my grandfather's house is the best and most spookiest. TYSM for sharing your amazing ghostly true story! I had to get a cup of coffee, so I could enjoy reading it a lot. ๐ I hate fields and we have one right out of our house on the mountain. I never go out that with at night with my 2 dogs, at not anymore. Because 2 lots over there is a cemetary and I know the spooky of the unrest ghosts are there. I have seen white wisps. Just creeps me out. I'm glad you had your boyfriend, sister and sisters dog with you that night. Dogs know and will alert you if there's something wrong. I know my 2 dogs do and if something is out there, they start barking hysterically and I make a mad dash for our house too. And, To answer your question, Yes, I celebrate Samhain and I make sure there's always lit pumpkins. Especailly on Halloween night. TYSM for an awesome read Cortney ~! I loved it ! Happy Haunting!
Comment: Thanks for the card--I've been to Vegas once, and to New York, Niagara Falls and Salem many times --used to live in Massachusetts. Never been to the UK.

Comment: Thank you so much for everything! โค๏ธ I love what you created! See you in the mailbox with my next penpal letter :D until then, wishing you all the best!
Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely letter, goodies, and drawing. I really like them!! I'm glad you had a really good summer :) I also love the sound of the ocean! And the shepherd's hut, stargazing & feeding llamas sounds amazing! I really liked that you drew the hut, because now I can imagine your holiday a lot better. My summer was very nice as well, I went interrailing through Europe and discovered many new places :)
