Comment: I love every single washi!! It’s so crazy how different they look on the envelope when they’re open all the way. I thought the mountains were a picture! Thank you so much.
Comment: Hi Cathy, It is me again :) Yay for fun mail days! Thank you so much! I also received the friendship sheets from you today. I will sign and pass the sheets on asap!
Comment: Hi Cathy! Thank you so much for the LBs!! I received your swap today <3 I will sign and pass them on to the next swapper soon. Take care and chat with you soon :)
Comment: ADORABLE! I love this card! it is so cute and fun. I also loved how you sent little printables so I can attempt to make one myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to make something so special for me!
Comment: Received your bags today. Thank you! (It's funny, I introduced the Maine map playing card deck into Swap-botland. It made me smile to receive one back!) =)
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful envelope of goodies. It definitely brought a ray of happiness to my day! I love the card you made and the Halloween-esque papers are going to be so wonderful in my crafts. Aloha!
Comment: Hi to another Cathy! I so enjoyed your letter of the things that you love and enjoyed your humour, too about the baby spit. All the best with your new baby. It brought back lovely memories of my days with babies. They are 28 and 26 now so it's been a while. Cathy
Comment: Hi Cathy! Loved everything in my wonderful Sunshine Happy Mail! I wish I was not such a paper hoarder - I loved your envie and yet I just will not use my paper to make them! LOL! Thank you for making my day! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: Hi Cathy - what a great swap you sent! Thank you for the fun slams and the goodies. These are the biggest slams I've ever seen since grade school when we made them in composition books! LOL :)
Comment: Thank you for the nice assortment of envies! I knew it would be a special swap as soon as I saw the cute scarecrow and wagon filled with pumpkins on the mailer. Happy swapping :-)
Comment: Hi Cathy!
Love how you packaged these! I may have to borrow the idea! Thank you for all the bags and the extra bags!! Ill be busy this weekend with these. Very excited. Ty!
Comment: Cathy,
What a fun variety of bags and unique envelope. I LOVED how you put scotch tape behind your stamps. It made harvesting them so easy! (And thanks for using real stamps, I love that!)
Your mails always a pleasure. Thank you!
💕Debbie
Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome papers and envelopes! I love Garfield! I may have to hoard those awhile. LOL! Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Love the postcards...all are new to me ones and they will fit well into my collection! My fav one is the one from Baddeck Nova Scotia...so pretty :)
Comment: Thank you for sharing about your town. I loved this swap. My family is all from a small town (Pomeroy, WA) and I miss it. I eventually hope to be able to move farther out of town to get that small town community. Thanks again for sharing.
Comment: Cathy! Thank you for the super cute letter-sets! the coffee/girl one is so cute, reminds me of myself hahaha! Thanks for all the care, stay healthy and happy!
Comment: Thanks for the Virginia Beach postcard. I get what you're saying about people that complain about Christmas merchandise being out in October. What's ironic is that the people complaining are the ones probably buying Christmas decorations in October!
Comment: Thank you for the cursive letter and postalette you sent. Your handwriting is so pretty. Oh, and I agree about the Great British Baking show is one of my favorites. I can't wait until tomorrow when we find out who will win this season.
Comment: I received you envelope a couple of days ago, but didn't have the opportunity to rate you. Our daughter moved out, because of her new study at the other side of the country (after 2 hours driving we cross the border to Germany.....;-) ). Now I had time to look at all the mail I received. Thanks for all the green items, I love them all. I put the Korean card into one of the boxes in het new house. I don't know if she already discovered it.......
Comment: Just got your letter and wanted to say thank you! I LOVE the quote you picked and Hermione has a very valid point! I agree 100% Thank you for the flat surprises you're right they would be great paintings in Hogwarts.
Comment: Thank you, Cathy! This was a wonderful glimpse into "your favorite daydream" and I feel so lucky to have learned a bit about how you met your hubby bowling! Sounds like you've gone thru the "thick and the thin" together since Y2K...I commend you on making it work too! Divorce is too easy these days...I learned my first time that being married is tough on the heart, mind, and soul because we're such flawed humans that we cannot help but hurt the ones we love. But, it took a second time, to see just how hard marriage truly is on the body as well, so we've shared in that scary hospital visit for heart problems, unfortunately. Good news is, we didn't go it alone, right! As hard as it is, we need others because "love makes the world go round!"
Oh, and thank you ALSO the extras you sent. Not only did you bring smiles to my face as I emptied each 7-of-hearts from the envie (I love this tiger one), but now I am inspired by these wonderfully fall colored bits of fabric and ribbon too! I must begin fall crafting! Crafting is my happy place right now! So, YES to crafting! YAY to you for taking me there again (I was sorta in a rut)!
Comment: Wow love this swap Cathy! Thanks so much for the pretty purple envies, the Garfield stationery paper, labels and #VBStrong I pray you didn't know anyone that was directly affected by that. Though as a country we can't help but be affected by each and every senseless tragedy!
Comment: Glad to see that you made such progress in your room! So great that now everything, in theory, has a place for it to go....even if you always end up with them out and about lol. I think everyone has a goal to stop hoarding....I struggle with that too. ME: But it could be used...I know the minute I toss it I will need to use it! In all seriousness though I hope you keep on having fun crafting in your room!
Comment: Lovely note! Can't wait to try the tea! I actually went to the American Girl place when I was in fifth grade. I was hugely into it too!! I had the Elizabeth doll because I love the American Revolution <3
Comment: I've seen duckpin bowling a few times. It interested me, but boy... I am bad at normal bowling. I can't imagine how bad I'd be at duckpin, lol! Thank you for sharing your hobbies 😃
Comment: Hi Cathy, yes this was a fun swap and I love the envelope you decorated for me. Such a fun uplifting envelope, thanks so much! I love the postcards. Thanks for a wonderful swap!!
Comment: Thanks for your Scrappy Circles. They do look like flowers, and I will be adding them (plus drawn stems) to my Spring smash book. I also liked your handmade envie and the stamp you used.
Comment: Thank you for the books. One of them needs to be sent home so I filled in the last page and wrote the person I'm sending it to a letter with the book 😊. I'll get the others sent on as soon as possible
Comment: Cathy, it was a delight to get to know you through this swap - you certainly are an interesting person! Thank you for your journal. I particularly loved the photos from your wedding - it is really nice to see pictures of your swap partner! Best wishes, Annabelle xoxoxo
Response: Glad you liked it! I wasn't sure if it was "magpie" enough (I don't consider myself to be much of an artist), but it sure was fun to put together!
Comment: Cathy,
It's always such a treat having you for a swap partner. Thanks for all the fun booklets to sign and pass along. I hope you're having a wonderful October thus far? Love from Carlisle Iowa ♥Debbie
Comment: I LOVE LOVE LOVE the themed stationery you sent me - so thoughtful - especially love the A-liner camper sets. Lovely envelopes too! Thanks a million!
Comment: Thank you for your great letter! I can totally understand why you like Ginny that much! My favourite character is Hermione, for similar reasons as yours for liking Ginny: they are both strong, independent girls and should be admired for that!
Comment: Hey there, thanks so much for the washi and other yellow things! And for the nice mini letter. It made me smile! I can relate to your phone problems. I have an old flip phone too and it breaks up my incoming texts and sends them in the wrong order like puzzle pieces. LOL
Comment: Hi Cathy! I loved your pictures, thanks for sharing them with me! It was a lot of fun to see so much nature and loved the street art you found around your area. I absolutely loved the tiny park (I can definitely see myself throwing a tiny party there lol) and the bridge with the bench, gorgeous! Thanks for taking me with you on such a fun tour!
Comment: Cathy,
Thank you so much for the beautiful note cards and chip boards....especially love the floral note card....great swap, thanks again....Debbie
Comment: My favorite line: “It’s a pleasantly tedious job with all the padding and cutting apart...” You phrased that so perfectly! I temped for five months at a print shop, so I know exactly what you mean!
Comment: Thanks for all the FBs and oh my goodness, the stickers will be a huge hit after preschool tomorrow-thanks for throwing in a bit of extra special-so thoughtful!
💗Debbie
Comment: Thank you for the very nice cards. I've got most of my Christmas things packed away already. We're having an extremely cold spell. HIGH temp today was below zero !!!! Thanks again.
Comment: Cathy! Thanks for the slams. I got them today. I love the snow â„ï¸ on the envelope and thank you for the washi:) I sure didn’t mind w the large slam:). You have a great holiday hun!
Comment: Thank you Cathy! Loved all the goodies, especially the washi tape and birdies! The embellishments are perfect since I have run out of ideas for my bucket list page decor!
Comment: Hi - Thank you very much for the sheets. I'll get them passed along. THANK YOU for the playing cards!!! I recently decided to collect the "3 of hearts" (representing my 3 brothers) and you're the first to send them to me!!
Comment: 9/12/17--Ty for the bags. I will get them done and sent out in the next round. We some very small damage from hurricane Harvey. We are very thankful. Happy swapping.
Comment: Thank you for your answers and interesting comments. I was thinking about "season with salt." Salt is a preservative and it also makes us thirsty. Our communication making the person "thirsty" to know more. Thank you for the colored washi tapes.
Comment: Thanks for the Washi tape. I like the yellow flowered ones very much. I hope you figure out your route and yes, we are going to Madras Oregonto see the eclipse at 100percent. I think it is 4 hour drive. Us and 45,000 other people. 😂😂😂
Comment: I think there are a lot of public figures who have two sides. One they are willing to show and one who they maybe really are. Kind of sad. Thanks for the cool card and the washi.
Comment: Thank you for the long thoughtful letter. Having recently completed my masters degree, I applaud your efforts to go back to school. Good luck with getting your husband to quit smoking. I've done some work with addicts of all sorts, and the thing to keep in mind it "people, places, things". If he's still hanging with the same smoking buddies, and still going to the shops he gets his cigarettes at and still doing the same activities he used to do while mindlessly smoking, he is going to keep smoking, and his cravings will never go away. Good luck!
Comment: Boy do I feel lucky to have been one of your partners! I just love all the things you chose for me. Thank you for the time, love and generosity you put into the swap!
Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing items you sent! I loved the Harry Potter paper and Alice diecut especially. Did you make the envelopes inside? They are wonderful. :)
Comment: I love all the different Christmas stuff you sent, but especially the homemade cards! Adorable!!! Thank you for the thematic decorated envie, too. :D You really went above and beyond on everything, thank you! I appreciate your participation and awesome sending. :) Happy Christmas in July!
Comment: Thank you, I enjoyed reading your log. Id you liked Congress of Secrets, you should read Masks and Shadows, which I loved even more. I didn't know the name of the helicopter, thanks for the info. Thought I did know that it is NOT Air Force One. I understand how such little mistakes can be super annoying. I added Kendra Donovan to my TBR list. You made it sound intriguing.
Comment: Wow, what a well thought out reading log. I'm definitely adding some of those to my Goodreads. I have enjoyed all of Beatriz Williams books. She's coming to an independent bookstore in Arlington next week. I also really love reading Lucinda Riley
Comment: Thank you! You have such wonderful handwriting and seem to have put a lot of thought and care into your journal, I really enjoyed reading it :)
Comment: How fun to get a big envelope after vacation with 62 interesting answers, some washi tape and extra little note. Thank you for such a great letter! So fun to see what others answers are!
Comment: I think I may have mistaken you with another bucket list swapper, your names are very similar. I think i need to thank you for the washi tape that came along with your bucket list. So sorry for rating you so late - your list came a long time ago but i confused you with someone who's list just came today. Thanks again
Comment: Hi Cathy!
Thank you so much for your extra surprise stamps in the envelope, they are beautiful, as are the ones on the envelope, I love it! :D
Wish you success and fun in fullfilling your bucketlist and keep up the good work on your body :)
Comment: Thank you so much! I love reading your note. I can't tell you half the stupid questions I've had over the years working retail. (38 yrs.) With each one you think "nobody will ever top this one!" but then tomorrow is another day and guess what. There's always one to top the last one. LOL! I had one call the other day and ask if we sold Bibles. I work at a Bible Bookstore. Hello!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Lol some people....I would have sat in silence too with that lady lol. I want to think of a snappy comment about it but I am at a loss lol. Thank you for the fun message, and thank you for the little extras. I love the peppermint card and cannot wait to repurpose it! And the little nesting doll envie, OH MY GOSH! <3 Made my day!
Comment: Hi Cathy! Thank you for sending on the travelling letter and for the extras. I hope you'll get the house you're interested in and will keep my fingers crossed for you. All the best.
Comment: Love all the stuff!! The date washi was so handy
I was preparing my calendar and I used it right away. Thank you I even used that cute octopi in my journal>
Comment: Thank you very much, Cathy!!! I really loved reading your answer and the way you did it was really easy to follow! Thanks for the extras as well :) Great swap!
Comment: Happy mail envie today. Love my washi tapes, thank you so much and the punches. You made my day. Putting your lovely envie in my journal as a pocket.
Comment: Thank you so much for this lovely envie... Each detail is great and I am eager to check the name of the books. I want to begin with the ''Mysterious'' ones... Very appealing names! It is what I like more about these swaps, you learn new authors each time... The notecards are beautiful and will become part of my stash... Love those floral borders!!! Thank you for a great swap!!!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely card. I did indeed have a nice, quiet holiday. I don't like all the fuss and such associated with 'em, heh. Love the washi and the fun paper bits too! :)
Comment: Thank you for the Nova Scotia PC. Congrats on your almost 1 year anniversary. My husband I have been been married 35 years, 36 in March. Best of luck!
Comment: Lots of weddings - lovely times - Somehow the heart didn't show up when I first posted this rating, but if I could, I would give you 2 hearts!
Comment: Thank you for all the fun items. Paid an extra 47cents for postage due.....:)
Response: Sorry about the postage due! 😑 I weigh my stuff before posting so it could only have been a couple of points over 1 oz; I didn't realize they were as picky as that!
Comment: I received your journal today! I am really excited to read it, thank you for taking the time to share a part of your life with me! <3 And thank you for the extra fun stuff! :)
Comment: My you are swift with this swap! And you made it to page ten and more! Way to go! I have you in my letter folder to write back to as soon as I can!
