Spring quarter starts next week and I'm going to have extra classes, so I won't have much time - it's been tough to balance everything and I'm just so tired! I managed InCo, but I gave myself some leeway. Hoping to manage Write On in April too, but again, more relaxed! You should check out Brit Box, if you get a chance. So many good shows on that one, and all the Agatha Christie and they just added the newer Sherlock, with Cumberbatch and Freeman. So good! :) PBS is great, too, though!

I'm really glad it helped heal you, sometimes I guess the body just decides to detox somehow. :)

It's a messy project so have to be in the mood and outside for sure and not often. I found the same thing with trying to use copy paper, it fell apart so easily. I used various vintage papers and those held up very well. Use to find these inexpensive at thrift stores or yard sales. Not anymore. Lol That's interesting the use of buttermilk to pretreat. I'll have to try that next time. Thank you for an awesome swap!

Comment: First of all, love the stationery. :) (haha!) Thanks so much for your nice letter. :) I think I'm one of the few left to not see Maverick! I was never really excited about Top Gun when it came out, but I"m sure we'll see it eventually. The theater you went to sounds awesome though! Our squirrel herd has thinned since I ran out of the seed. We'll see how many return when I remember to buy more. :) Falcon loves to chase them, but I don't encourage it too much! Like you said, pictures of expensive vet bills!! :(
Response: I don’t know why the hawks here ignore the squirrels maybe there are bigger animals they chase at the air friend nearby… we have lots of small birds that are the size of finches and hummingbirds and robins and some grey doves.

Response: Sweet I was worried about it though I’ve read zines locally at all our small bookshops even at City Lights where they once had an alcove devoted solely to zines. All the zines I got in this swap blew my mind though they were all intricate and beyond my expectations.

Comment: Thanks for sharing your list! I LOVE the Sue Grafton books!!!! I started listening to them on cassette in 2009, and the narrator really IS the voice of Kinsey Millhone, so I listened to the whole series that way. Those books are just SO great! :) I have no idea why the envelope was returned to you - it looks like it was addressed perfectly fine! Thanks for sharing your list. :)
Response: Yes I’m loving Sue Grafton’s books. I’m trying not to read them all like a total addict, in one sitting! May wait to listen to them after I read the print version first. I usually prefer audiobooks but I’ve dug into this one with the print and ebooks versions so I’m enjoying that modality. Tomorrow I’m visiting Santa Barbara which is referred to as Santa Teresa in the series! Can’t wait to try to see some of these spots in person.

Also since you mentioned plays, it's been so long since I've seen a live one so I hope to see one soon!

Comment: Thank you for the hearts bookmark. I will definitely be putting it to use. Thank you for your postcard. I always appreciate people making art in their own style, no matter what that style is. And recycling. Your use of the postcrossing postcard is clever, and I may try it myself. However, the extra book page smells like mold and has ruined the actually swap. And I'm allergic to mold, so for me, I have to trash it. I'm sorry about that. Please be careful when sending aged/recycled items.
Response: Hi Angela, thank you for letting me know. Very sorry about the mold. Messaged you separately to try to make this swap right.

Response: You know, Bees are new to me. I used to be very afraid of bees. But I'm learning about bee symbolism. And recently watched an author discussion on her bee book. She talked about how to make your own backyard bee home and though we don't have any bees making a home in our backyard it was fun to put together a little place that one day they might make home! They do visit as do butterflies and dragonflies and every once in a while hornets or wasps too!

Comment: Hi Marie! It was lovely to hear from you and I enjoyed your take on audiobooks! Back in the day I did listen to the ones on cassettes - my car only had a cassette player and I drove long distances, always helped to pass the time! I recently listened to an audiobook that was called "Good Dog" - they said it was for kids 10 and over, there is no way as I bawled my eyes out! Not sure who decides what goes to each age group but felt that one was way off! Yours sounds the same way! What a wonderful memory of listening to radio shows with your family! I sometimes find the voices on the audiobooks to be grinding - but for the most part they are ok as I do enjoy being read to! Thanks again for the lovely share and the extra pcs! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: Hi Vicky! Thanks for that audiobook recommendation. Going to add it to my wishlist: Good Dog.

Response: I think I responded to you in a message as I rarely go through these comments! I do have a Cropadial which I believe is made by Recollections. But before I bought that thing, I did used to use a good old hole punch or stole my husband's needle nose pliers to make holes. I learn a TON about this stuff from Nik the Booksmith at Youtube though I don't have all the tools and skills. I enjoy watching her make books and repurpose old books or upcycle them.

I also like listening to the same stories over and over again, there's some sort of comfort in that, isn't it? In my case, they're short stories that I have in the mix of a playlist, so they always come up unexpected in between songs, and it's always a nice surprise.

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. I did get a Rock postcard in the mail once. In a swap in the past a had a partner that made me a postcard of the Rock sitting in a chair staring out at (me?) and she put on the postcard. "This card entitles Alicia to stare at The Rock sitting in a chair for 90 minutes." LOL so funny.

Comment: Hi Marie, Thank you for the vintage postcard you sent me as part of this swap. I appreciate your Valentine wishes. I also appreciate your guidance on how you have been negotiating ratings and judgments on Swap-bot. I've been on Swap-bot since 2007, this past year has been the first year I have had real issues with swappers being a little more challenging . I am having good time again and enjoying all the swaps. I am participating in presently. It was a pleasure to have you as a partner for the first time on Swap-bot. I hope we have many more times to swap with one another. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!! Colorado mail in and out of the state has been slow as well as I am also awaiting a special form of low back surgery to keep my chronic pain at a Level that is tolerable. I am sorry for the delay.

Comment: Krampus stuff is still kinda hard to find. I found some cards on Amazon, but I gues he's still not really popular! :( But I also LOVE A Christmas Carol! I try to read the book each year, but I enjoy all the versions of the movies too. Do you have a favorite actor for Scrooge? There's one from 1938, I think, with Reginald Owen that I like and a 1950's version with Alastair Sim that I like. But I also like the Patrick Stewart version. And, of course, The Muppets Christmas Carol! :) Have you seen The Man Who Invented Christmas? About Charles Dickens writing the story? It was pretty good too. :) Happy holidays! :)
Response: I don’t know which version is my favorite! And I want to see the movie about Charles Dickens writing the book. Today I went downtown San Francisco on a rare outing and I had forgotten how many hungry homeless people are out panhandling. Made me think of Scrooge...after his dreams.

At the beginning of the year, I'd planned to read a LOT of classics, then the year went on and I lost all interest in them, and decided to let them go for now. Now I"m looking for historical biographies (I blame re-watching Hamilton on Disney+ too many times!), and I have none of them on hand. :( THIS is why we need libraries! :) Thanks for sharing your progress!

Comment: Interesting--makes sense that a book might be banned for the author's political leanings, rather than the text itself, though. I read the Alchemist last year, because I was hearing from some high school seniors how much they enjoyed it (I suspect it was on a reading list in their English class), and it wasn't for me. It reminded me a lot of Jonathan Livingston Seagull--sort of hand-wavy metaphor about finding your purpose. I'm not a spiritual person like that, so I can see why I didn't dig it. For sure alchemists invested a lot of time trying to turn lead and other base metals to gold, but, as I understand it, alchemy is all about a secret knowledge of how the physical world works together based on a framework for its essential makeup. So like early chemistry meets religion, except you think the elements are air, fire, water, etc, and that looking for a universal solvent is no more a leap than an elixir for eternal life.

Comment: First, thank you for the Blazing Star OTO pc, I love mail that teaches me things and since I had never heard of this organization, of course I fell down the Google rabbit hole learning about it. This kind of learning through curiosity is right up my alley so thank you for that! Second, I'm kind of envious that your library's bookmarks feature local artists. We get some Scholastic ones that have cool images, but there is nothing really personal about them, so that's definitely cool that you get some local culture when you get your reading materials.
Response: Hi Mandi, OTO is interesting! Libraries here are amazing as I live very near Berkeley and used to work next door to the SAn Francisco main library.

Comment: Thank you for all those little stories you shared! Id's love to see that medieval library it sound really creepy >u<
Response: Spain creeps me out. But I don’t know it is beautiful in its own way there I just can always feel or imagine the Spanish Inquisition and torture not the 50 Shades kind.

Comment: Very nice-I like the diversity of the styles of the twinchines. I don't play around with my gelli plate as much as I should either. I don't mind glitter at all-I must have every color of stickles and some of that glittered embellishment pastes. Thanks for the extras-I really like that gold paper with the holes-what fun it will be to use that and then glitter paper I can't get enough of-also the sugar skull napkins! Thanks for sharing!

Very comforting. I guess you need to do what works, right? :)

Comment: Marie, thank you so much for this Betsy Ross card! On the day that it arrived, I had read a post from a historian I follow on Face Book named Tara Ross (no relation to Betsy) and learned a bit more about her-like she lived to be 100 years old, that she talked Geo. Washington into having the stars on the flag be 5 points instead of 6, and that she was born and died in Philly. And I'm sorry to say I've never been to Philly but it's on my list-and when I do make it the Betsy Ross house will be one of my stops! Thanks again!
Response: Philly really blew me away! I was not that excited but going around all these cool places really inspired me including the Betsy Ross house!

Comment: Edited May 2, 2019: Thank you for resending and trying to make this swap right. This second mini PL was 100% better than the one I originally received. You are definitely talented! However, after consideration, I decided to maintain the rating of a 3, for two reasons: the first being that, after seeing the second mini PL, it was obvious that the original one hadn’t been taken seriously (for reasons unknown); the second, because though you did offer a resend, your message made it seem like you were only offering because the host suggested you do and also you offered no apology or explanation for the poorly-made one. To the host of a swap debating whether or not to accept this member in your crafting swap: she is talented and the resend really was nice. If this had been the original mini pocket letter, I would have given her a 5 and a heart. But because of the reasons mentioned above, I am keeping the original 3. Original rating comment (April 2019): I'm sorry, I hate rating down for crafting swaps because everyone has different levels of skills. However, your mini PL definitely did not meet the swap requirements. One pocket has a flower on it, the middle one had no decorations whatsoever, and the last one only had colorful paper (yellow and pink). I failed to see how it can be interpreted for spring themed. I'm sorry to add a 3 to your ratings, but I just can't bring myself to agree that it met the swap requirements.
Response: Thank you for your open and honest rating. I wish you all the best and appreciate the direct feedback. It’s a good learning experience for me.

Comment: I always love seeing that you're sending me something, because you write fabulous notes and letters! I ALSO love spirograph and have one. I don't think it's the deluxe, it's like a circle one. But they're all circles. But still, I think this had something to do with circles. And RE the crayons - it's funny sometimes as adults how we realize that things we SOOOO prized and rarely received as kids are totally, simply, and cheaply accessible to us now. I have definitely purchased things based on that, though of course I can't think of one now. I always say, "I'm going to send you a reply soon," and you are definitely on my list, but I'm going through a very low-motivation period of life, so it may be awhile. But I'll be responding to ALL the great letters you've sent me, so when it DOES arrive, it will be very long and juicy! Take care and thanks for the cute and interesting notecard+ !
Response: No worries and no rush thanks for the long comment and I am super glad you appreciated all the details of my craft world.

Response: Glad you like it. I’ve only recently opened to tarot. I started to draw the ace of swords but ended up with the ace of cups! My husband Carl suggested I look up what the differences are so I could understand the switch. I just liked the imagery of the ace of swords but isn’t that amazing how the spirit works in art and expression? I love it.

Response: Sweet sweetness yes do copy that’s a high form of praise!

We took our children there when they were younger, and the one has returned twice and taking a person with her to share your beautiful city with. We also have a blanket covering our city but sadly it's smoke due to forest fires which is become all too common during the summer months, as it is there.
Response: Ohh I hope the smoke lessens. It’s smoky here today too.

Comment: Thank you so much! I love the card. I'm flattered that I've inspired you. I just learned this December so I have a lot to learn! I recently purchased some Tombow pens to try my hand (no pun intended) at some handlettering. I think I prefer calligraphy because it is more controlled, haha!
Response: Yay! I’ll have to try out Tombow pens!

Comment: Thank you for the list of ideas and thank you so much for such a sweet note! It sounds like you have a strong bond with your friend. It takes a lot of courage to share something like that because, even if you've known the person forever, you never know how they will respond. For me, most of my friends and even some of my family don't know. It is the scariest when you have to bring it up in a new relationship. I basically told Bob 'Here's what can happen and this is what I need you to do when it does.' ~ All the best to you & your friend

Young puppies need socialization, but the shots hinder it. Congratulations, you're a newly wed, like they say "third time's the charm". Have a happy life and enjoy Swap bot.
