Comment: Thank you for the unique little envelope-letter! How cute. Perhaps the new Lord of The Rings series coming to Amazon might scratch your Tolkien itch; though I don't think it follows the books. I thought Outlander was a series already; have you seen it? Did you like it? I haven't seen it and don't know much about the story, but the costumes look fun. Have a wonderful day! ☆Raynor

Comment: Thank you for the facts about Minnesota. I was surprised to get a postcard since the swap details say to send a notecard, but I appreciate the send and enjoyed reading the information.
Response: A "notecard" is a flat card with space for a message. That is what I sent. And I added a "shaker" feature to the notecard. I am sorry it was not up to your expectations. I am guessing that you assumed you would receive a folded notecard in an envelope, however, neither folded nor envelope was specified in the swap description. My bad luck, since I can only go by what the swap host puts in the swap information.

Comment: Hi Betsy! I have a kindle but really like real books or books on tape better. I can still order from the library, just cannot do more than curbside at this time - I sure miss being able to just go in and browse, but in time hopefully things will get back to "normal"! Love your chunk - what is it off of? Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: The bird picture is from National Geographic. I got a 2-year subscription pretty cheap, but never read it so now I'm trying to declutter by cutting them up for postcards. I LOVE my Kindle Paperwhite cuz 1) it is LED side-lit so I can read in bed without a lamp on to keep my husband awake. I can highlight amusing phrases and mistakes and my notes, and export them to a PDF later to save in my book log. And there is on onboard dictionary to look up words. Oh, and I can check out and download book in about a minute without a trip to the library. I keep a book "wish list" so I cherry pick titles from there with great success over randomly stumbling across things at the library. I thought I'd never switch from paper books, but now I think I may never switch back!

Response: Yes - powder and heat embossing gun for tbe bird. Stuff left over from when I used to make cards. I've always liked the 3D texture of embossing. It's fun to get out the old stuff every once in a while! Sorry about the delayed response. I'll get back to you about a letter.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely card! Did you emboss the flower pattern? I'm completely obsessed! I hope you and yours are safe and healthy in these crazy times. Take care, Adrian
Response: Yes, I embossed it using a Sizzix Big Shot and an embossing folder I found on eBay. I bought the machine to make 100+ XMAS cards using a fancy folded card die cut. I also used it another year to cut 150 snowflakes out of aluminum soda cans. I try to get some use out of the machine now and then. Thanks for the nice compliments! You take care as well!

Comment: Thank you for the chunk o-card! I love grits! Not a oatmeal fan though. Thanks for the book suggestions! I will check those out! And that was my first scratch n sniff stamp. So cool! At first I thought you were pulling my leg haha
Response: I did send out a few cards last month with a mix of sniff and non-sniff stamps. I must have been in a fog cuz I marked the non-sniff cards as scratch-n-sniff and not the sniffy cards. So I DO have a history of leg-pulling. If accidental. But YOURS was the real thing. Way to go, USPS, thinking outside of the box!

Comment: Hi Betsy! Always fun to swap with the wonderful host of this fun swap! My hubby was very impressed with the birds you embossed on the chunk! LOL! I love pumpkin stuff and am looking forward to it all coming out soon! Banana and lemon are favorites as well - maybe I have not been exposed to rhubarb enough - what do you find it in? Besides homemade stuff? Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: You are right - rhubarb stuff is a lot harder to find. In the city and older suburbs around here, pretty much everyone has a plant in their yard. There is a bakery across town which makes flaky crisps pastry folded over a rhubarb filling. I find a fair amount of jams and preserves, but I'm not a fan of toast so we have 2 or 3 jars hoarded in our cupboard (note to self: get on that - maybe I could spread a jar on a batch of sweet rolls). Oooo, for some reason, another fav just popped into my head - cassis/black currant. Also hard to find, except in Canada and the UK.

Response: Heads up! You're gonna wanna read Let It Snow twice. There are several intertwined stories, and after you finish you're going to want to go back to see the connections you missed the first time around. That's one of the reasons it's fun to read every year.

Comment: Retirement is the best, isn't it? It gives you the time to do fun things like this! I enjoyed your card with its recipes for Jiffy Bake, not something we have here. I gather it is like a super version of plain flour? (ie with extra added goodies of some description!) A box to be contemplated - what to make next - while drinking coffee!!!! Thanks for being my swap partner!
Response: I think that Jiffy Bake is generic Bisquick - which is pancake/waffle/biscuit/etc mix. Just add water - no oil or eggs (usually - I only do biscuits so maybe it's different for pancakes or waffles). I like to get generics and store brand stuff whenever I can.

Comment: Got it!! Omg... traveling with your bird!! I have 2 huge macaws!! I don't want to imagine!! Haha!! TY for the honey wheat chunk! Have a mah-velous summer!! ♡♡♡
Response: Traveling with the bird is a whole big fuss with a medium size dog crate we got free on Craig's List. We actually have FOUR (all free), given how much parrots like to chew it makes sense to have backup crates. It's pleasantly surprising how many people are giving away free dog crates. It took a coupla months of pre-trip practice drives to get her used to being in the car, and then in the car in the crate. She did so much better than we feared she might! She was even great in the hotels (a huge FAIL in our practice sessions - overnight in the crate did NOT work at home).

Comment: Love your Card... Birch Beer Does it Taste like Root beer? Sounds Good..I will have to look over in PA for some.. We don't live too far from the State line..
Response: As far as I am concerned, Birch Beer, Root Beer, and Sarsaparilla are all pretty much the same thing. Some are spicier, some are sweeter, some have a lot of vanilla. Some Root Beers are more different from each other than Root Beer and Sarsaparilla. I love them all, and like to try any new ones that I find. I'll be so jealous if you are able to go out for a weekend drive and come home with a case of Birch Beer!! Oh, and BTW, I think that there is WHITE Birch Beer which is clear. It can also be brown, red, or blue. If you DO try to get some, be sure to try more than one if you have the option!

Comment: I love the stamp. I hadn't seen it in person yet, so it was a great treat. Did you know that the banana flavor that you get in your banana products is based on the old breed of bananas? The original banana crops were killed out (all of them) by an infection, luckily they were genetically engineering a new strain of banana. This is the second batch and they are currently working on a third in case something happens to this one. Just learned all this recently from a YouTube video.

Response: It tastes very LIME. You can try it for $1.07 at Taco Bell during their happy hour 2-5pm. Or buy a more expensive bottle at a gas station. I think it's still around - but for sure it's at Taco Bell. I do NOT like regular mountain dew. AT ALL. Mountain "EEW". Heh.

Comment: I am starting to think that I need an embosser.
Response: Don't wanna be a stuff pusher, but I am liking mine. I have been buying embossing folders at joann fabric and on eBay. The machines can cut too. I'm not as into that, and the cutting dies are more expensive than the embossing folders, but I did get one cutting die that I am using to cut snowflakes out of soda cans, which I think is pretty neat! My machine is a sizzix big kick. I had to pay for a few other things to get started: a pair of cutting plates and this "book" thing with flip open "pages" to help adjust the various dies to the right height to go thru the machine. I think that's called a "multipurpose platform". And of course a bunch of embossing folders. So the startup cost is about $150. I bought my machine on eBay. Shipping was expensive, but it was still cheaper than buying new online.

You were so creative in how you put it all together (also loving the stamps you used on the envie), the clever mail tag with seal, and, and, and...and I will just have to type (or write) you back. No, I have never received a 'mail tag', but it's a great idea and I'll answer everything :D Thanks again for a great mail day.

Response: Hee hee. Temporarily stalled. I realized recently that I need to set up a table to do some mass production. I had been working in smaller batches on the floor, but that's gonna kill my back. I have a table picked out, but I need to clear, um, well, LAST YEAR'S Christmas card production supplies (I guess now that I'm busted - so lazy!) off of it before I can make room for THIS YEAR'S cards. I was JUST thinking today that I need to get on that.

Comment: So exciting to see what you did! The letterpress items I have played with at the library open houses have all been type -- I am so curious about the card that appears to be hand-drawn! And the jellyfish are, well, awesomely jellyfishy :) Got a chuckle out of the Goofy Book. We used to have one at both National Park visitor desks that I volunteered at.
Response: One of the classes I took was for making light-sensitive polymer plates for printing. You make a transparency with your image drawn or printed on it, then expose the "raw" polymer plate to UV light thru your image. Everything not protected by the drawing gets soft and you wash it away in a scrubber. Then you "bake" the plate to make it hard and you can print with it. The jellyfish came in a set of images I bought at Barnes & Noble (did you know that you can buy clip art collections? I did not!). I drew the zentangle. The swap card is a combo of type and polymer plate.

Comment: Thank you for the great envelope! Never seen a yellow security envelope before, so didn't immediately recognize it as such. lol The traveling water colour palette is a great idea, and I'll definitely be putting it to use. I have a 'classic' travel palette, but this one is way better because it's so flat and one can make a ton of them to use and dispose after use.The book you mentioned sound like a good source of inspiration to put a new spin on correspondence, and I've already checked it out on amazon. :D Thanks so much for a really great and interesting swap!

Comment: Thanks for your card! I like to read YA (we call them YAB young adult books here). I read the fault in our stars during my holiday. But they are not my area in work. Some great illustrators are Thé Thong-King, Tom Schamp, Loes Riphagen, Charlotte Dematons! Do you have favourites?
Response: I'm not a big follower of illustrators, but I do love Shaun Tan. I saw his Oscar-nominated animated short a few years ago, and now I own a bumch of his books.

Response: I love love love love to use Scotch Brand Quick-Dry Adhesive. No-run formula. Mess-free, precision tip. Photo Safe. It's just white glue that dries clear, and I've had really good luck with it holding (I tried some clear Tombow on old stamps this winter and every single one of them fell off - SO BAD). They USED to have a better, finer, tip. I don't like the new tip - precision, snort, not so much - so I bought my own tips on eBay and got luckily they fit.

Comment: Thanks for the extra-long letter inside my favourite self-mailer fold (I used a variant of this one myself). Just for reference, with the address label over the closure, it wasn't very clear how to open without destroying the interior - I probably should have just carefully peeled the label off first, but maybe an instruction to that effect might be helpful to future recipients. :)

This notebook is awesome - I totally love the concept, and the extra touches like the artistamp embroidery on the outside and the little extra bits tucked inside are beyond cool. Thanks for including the instructions, and making me wish I was not so scared of sewing machines... ;)
Response: You can make it without a sewing machine. Pretty much need an iron, tho. And if you don't sew the edges, you probably want to use pinking scissors to finish the edges or sew them by hand so it doesn't peel apart. Ooooooor, you could find something thick, like a rubber hot water bottle. Oh, gosh, just make one out of leather like the original. All you need is a craft knife and a hole punch then! The nice thing is that you can make any size you want. Be sure to look at videos of how people have filled their books. Talk about a big time suck!!

Response: Took me a minute to remember what I sent. I believe that all of my cards this round were vintage USPS pre-paid postcards. I bought a few different lots of assorted cards on eBay. USPS sells new versions with the right amount of postage. You have to add extra stamps to the vintage cards to get them up to current postal rates. FYI - they make pre-paid envelopes too and you can find vintage versions on eBay.

Response: I DID make that! I stood on a chair with one hand on the ceiling and one hand on my camera leeeeaning over to try to get directy above it to get a square-on picture of my quilt on the floor. I was a bit shocked that it turned out! It was one of the first VistaPrint cards I ever made. Those fabrics are fairly representative of my obnoxiously bright fabric stash!

Comment: Betsy! Loved the stamps. I hope your ice cream turned out!!! I have such a weakness for ice cream... I may end up at Sonic now for a milkshake!!! O_O
Response: Hmmm. It kinda turned out. Kinda. We kicked it back and forth on the porch for 1/2 hour or so. It froze HARD to the sides, and it was TOUGH to get that out. But the middle was still fairly mushy. I stirred in the rhubarb sauce. Didn't get lovely streaks, more like a rhubarb shake (it mixed in too well - I have no idea how you'd ever get lovely stripes of "flavor"). Then I froze it harder. It was DELICIOUS. I put a kitchen aid mixer ice cream attachment on my Christmas list. I dunno if I'll ever have enough room in our freezer. But I am kind of on a mission to clear out some space. No point in keeping mummified food in there til doomsday. Especially when I could use the space for an ice cream maker instead!

Response: I love my typewriters. I do have a few that I don't like, tho, so they aren't all the same. I love my portable Olympias. They are fairly large, but the touch it wonderful. The Hermes Rocket feels rickety to me. Full sized machines may be more generally acceptable than portables since they are probably all more substantial. Good luck and enjoy if you decide to get one!

Comment: Many thanks for the great letter! Naturally, I enjoyed reading about your book hobbies. Wuthering Heights to me is a nostalgic childhood book, I found an ancient copy of it from our attic when I was young. I'm actually digging Heathcliff, he's the sort of character who could be good but - because of some personal emotional damage or weakness - does everything wrong.. I like Emily Brontës writing because she's so unique and different to other (female) writers of her time. My favourite books are often ones that have stayed with me for many years, ones that I tend to refer to and read again and again. I loved the way your letter and the envelope looked, and it was cool to learn about the typewriter you used. Thanks!

Comment: I received your letter and I'm getting ready to read it but I wanted to rate first! I'm soooooo jealous of the typewriter... you and @ColoradoKate both have one and I was just thinking to myself that I need to go try and find one. I love that cursive font and yeah... I want one! The Rilakuuma paper is perfect. I don't like to receive it hmmm trying to explain.. I don't need anymore unused Rilakuuma paper but when I receive letters on it, that's just fine! I'll be writing back... it might take a few days as the next few days are a whirlwind of BIZZY!!!! Thank you! :)
Response: I would HIGHLY recommend an Olympia SM9 Cursive machine. Manual (non-electric), built like a tank, with a dreamy hefty no-nonsense touch. Fairly big for a "portable" - I wouldn't carry one around on the bus, but small enough to stow under my desk or in a clost. I loooved my Selectric, but it was truly huge - a behemoth, and the SM9 feels as substantial without the annoying electric hum and a much more reasonable size. Reviewers ding it for being too plain, but I love that it's very utilitarian. Sorry to natter on about it, but I love love love that typewriter.

Comment: Hiya Betsy, Loved the little Batty Bats and my Grand loved the drippy goo on the front. Bats are very cool, used to watch em circle my house at twilight. Most don't have rabies and won't go after humans. They eat tons of bugs and mosquitoes. Great swap.
Response: I love bug eating fuzzy bats, but I'll never touch one in the wild! There was a huge story on public radio this summer about a girl who got bitten by an injured bat she was trying to help. She developed full-blown rabies. The doctors her put into an experimental coma to minimize brain damage and she survived. I saw a related article about some people (in South America?) who they think may have natural resistance/immunity to rabies thru repeated expose from biting bats. Yikes! I left my cute little buddy undisturbed in my eaves.

I really, really, really love this postcard. It's so cute and whimsical. We don't have "lightning bugs" out here in Phoenix and they're definitely something that I miss when the summer rolls around. Thank you so much!

Response: Glad you liked it! I like the angry gnarly tree, and the cider's pretty good too! I had some on tap at a bar last night. I'm hoping it'll be popular cuz itll be easier to get. Embossing: I think finer ground powders make cleaner impressions. I have a lot, but tend to use the ones that work better.

Comment: I would have *loved* to be there for a shuttle launch! I am so jealous of your vacation. Thanks for the memento.
Response: We were across the causeway in a public park (Space View Park, but still, a fair distance from the launch pad), so it was a little like watching a teeny tiny Tinkerbell firefly rise up into the sky. Even so, it was majestic and it was hard not to cry as you watched it (I am NOT a cryer, but those are PEOPLE going into SPACE in that little bug). I'm so glad I made the effort to go down to watch it. It was fun to hang out with my dad, and it's nice to know that he got to see it too. It was the day before his birthday. Kewl all around.

Comment: Thanks for the card! You are a braver woman than I, experimenting with embossing powder. I own some but haven't figured out what to do with it.
Response: Use it! Use it! Use it! I looooove my embossing powder. I think the little bit of 3D texture and the rich colors are my fav parts. I've slacked off on stamping - and card making in general. But I still like to get out my embossing powder and these swaps are the perfect excuse.

Comment: I've actually been interested in getting a fountain pen for going over my drawings - would it cover a waxy colored pencil you think? Are they permanent? Thank you for the nice letter and have a great day!
Response: All of the fountain pen inks that I know of are water-based. None of them would cover waxy pencil. Some fountain pen inks are waterproof, some of the Noodler's brand inks are "bulletproof": waterproof, UV proof, bleach proof, acetone proof. However, even the waterproof and "bulletproof" inks may streak and run when wet. The writing should remain visible and legible, but the color may change as some non-permanent components wash away.

Comment: Your truths and lies were pretty good. I'm thinking though that you haven't used the same pen for 17 years now. With refills it would be possible, the quilt, I imagine you could have made one. and although for me travelling is a term used in basketball, I imagine some people are lucky enough to visit many places. I love quits ty for the pc. I have two on my bed all year round (the heavy old handmade kind). suzanne
Response: Great guess - you're right! Although they DO make a lifetime pen: http://www.cyberspacepens.com/pens/Fisher-Space-Pens/Lifetime-Pens.html Bangkok was fun, and I love that quilt. I made it as a present, but them gave away another one instead because I liked it too much.

I've just gotten so many "letters" which don't amount to much more than a postcard, that I wanted to make it clear that this is a L.E.T.T.E.R. If you don't want to WRITE something, then p'raps it's a good time to consider whether a "letters and writing" swap is really a place you want to go!

Response: I sent a cardboard chunk cut from a beloved and irreplaceable long discontinued product package for a non-profile, "Letters and Writing" flat-mail postcard swap. I shall let Ms @evieroz' comment speak to her manners. UPDATE: since my first response, I have received PMs from others who have received very unkind remarks from Ms. @evieroz as well. It seems that kindness and discretion are not among her finer attributes.

Response: I don't know the official name, but that sounds about right. Packing tape to right side of image. Immerse in water for a coupla minutes. Rub paper off the back. Rinse. Stick to an old-school transparency sheet. It's a miracle that the front and back stay stuck together cuz the tape isn't sticky anymore!

Comment: Thanks, Betsy, for the long letter explaining your experience. I really do believe "communication phenomena" happen -- science can't explain it but may be able to in the future. I've never experienced it but I haven't seen ghosts either and I believe there are some. Another swapper recently told me of a communication experience somewhat similar to yours. Some things we just accept and don't have to explain.

Response: You don't need a black light for the stamp book - no hidden surprises for you. I originally made the stamps to put on mail that I did write on with black light ink, so my friends would know to get out their light. Tanglecraft got me into making books. Since the stamps were already made I was halfway to a book so that was the second one I ever did.

Comment: Thanks for my cards. I am really intrigued by the octopus stamp you made. I am going to have to explore that technique.
Response: I think I said this, but it's photo-polymer. You have to make some kind of negative with your image(s) on it. You lay the negative over your photo-sensitive polymer, then expose it to UV light. The exposed bits get hard, but the parts shielded by the black part of your negative stay soft. You wash out the soft bits with water and a brush. Then you dry the plate, and put it back under UV light to harden the whole thing. Viola - you have a printing plate. There is a book-making/printing shop here where I rent time on both the platemaker machine which does all the exposing and washing for me. It's like a 3-story easy-bake oven - washing on top, then a compartment with the UV light, and a dryer compartment on the bottom. I don't know if you can get equipment of your own for a reasonable price or not.

I can't believe the awesome selection of FP inks you included; I already have inky little fingers today, and I can't wait to test them all out!

Comment: Hi Betsy! Love the weathered art you did... very creative! And love the stamps, too...! One small suggestion: if you choose to do something like this again in the future, attach to something... a fabric piece can't really make it on its own through the mail... it needs to be able to hold its shape. The P.O. sent it along to me in an envie they provided with a note of explanation. ; )
Response: I left the weathered art completely naked, as per the swap requirements: "At the end of a week, bring your art in, let it dry if it needs to, then write the addresses on the back of the actual art itself and mail them naked to your partners." I also paid the USPS non-machinable charge for items which do not play nice with postal machines. Half the fun of sending unusual mail is the special plastic bag and note from the USPS. ;)

Response: I'm so glad that you liked my stamps! It was a lot of fun to make them. I had a coupla stamps made (Ford, Nixon, Reagan) which I like to use next to the "real" stamps of the same name (I bought a whole sheet of Nixon on eBay for just over the face value). This swap inspired me to expand my collection and put them into a book.

Comment: I laughed & laughed! (I'm a big SNL fan.) I'm SO impressed with these stamps, Betsy. Did you do the perfs with a sewing machine? How did you get the glue on the back? (or are those trade secrets...=grin=)
Response: Yea! I'm so glad you like them! They are super funny if you can find the real Reagan, Nixon, or Ford stamps on ebay and use them alongside the fake ones. I bought a sheet of 50 Nixon stamps for face value, and need to stock up on Ford and Reagan. I got a pizza wheel thingy with a pointy star for a wheel from a site that's no longer around. I googled the brand name from the handle, and found the same thing (Excel Pounce Wheel) here and at Dick Blick online: http://www.in2art.com/art-supplies/excel-pounce-wheels The glue is "Lick & Stick Remoistenable Envelope Glue" by Green Sneakers. I've seen it in stores, and it looks pretty easy to find online.

Comment: Wow! You're a fast swapper. I am just finishing mine and yours have already arrived! ... and triple the requirements! I really like the touch of the black card stock as backing and border. It really sets off the black and white... which, by the way are my favorite zentangles. Thank you bunches.
Response: I just started doing Zentangles, so I'm still in the "excited can't do enuff of em" phase.

While I'm afraid I can't share your belief in the coolness of googly eyes, I do however take great delight in browsing DIY stores for potentially craft-able things, so I at least understand your affinity with the picture hooks! I do of course love the postoids, but the highlight of the package was your awesome zine - I hadn't considered the eco-friendly aspects of fountain pens before, but now I will be sure to capitalise on it! Do you have an Etsy store? If not, open one, now! This zine needs to meet more people! (Sorry for the mini-essay, but I did love my package :-D)

Neither tree showed any effect. Just the car. It killed my father's computer, Wiii, my printer, and garage door opener. It messed up the port on the TV where the Wiii was connected. Lightning is strange stuff.

Comment: WOW- What a fantastic postcard! Totally genius, makes me want to stop being scared of sewing machines. Does the sewing machine do the embroidery? I have no idea how that stuff works. Best handmade card I’ve received in a while, thanks Betsy!
Response: Yeah, after 25 years I upgraded to my first electronic machine just so I could get the fancy stitches and letters. I'm a total hack when it comes to sewing, so you just just give it a try. You can get a decent machine for under $100. Take a look at the Janomes, if you're interested. You might be able to pick up a used one for nearly free and pay $50 to get a good tuneup.

Comment: Thanks! I'd recommend putting your name on stuff in the future though - I didn't know who it was from until the second swap arrived!
Response: Heh. It was a crazy week. I had made the 20 questions well ahead of time, and I was too rushed when the participant list came out and, whoops!, forgot to include my ID. Thanks for doing the math to figure out it was me!

Response: Glad you liked the card! I got the PC stamp as part of a lot of used stamps on eBay. I think that stampfrancisco might have one like it.

Comment: Thanks for this extra cute moose :D I like hand made cards but they never get to Croatia undamaged (I've received only one in good condition). It would be to expensive for people to send them in envelopes or packages so I decided to put that note on my profile :D I really hate to receive them damaged when I know someone has put so much effort into making them.
