Response: Thank you! Yes, we love the dogs, too. Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: Thank you . . . so glad you liked it. And thank you for the rating and the heart.

Response: Thank you so much for the compliments and the encouragement. I might be updating my website to include access to getting my little zines there. I'm sure we'll meet up in more zine swaps here on Swapbot. Looking forward to one day getting some of yours, too. Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: You're welcome, and thank you!. Thank you also for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thanks you so much, and thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: Thanks so much for the encouraging comments. And thanks also for the rating and the heart!

Response: Exactly! Pudding is so tasty, my doctor's orders to get more vitamin D and calcium makes this a win-win! Glad you liked the zine. Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: Thank you for the rating! Hey, do you want me to send you a box of it? It's instant pudding. You just mix in some milk then let it set up in your fridge till it thickens up a bit. I used to make up pudding from scratch when I was younger, cooking it over the stove and all. But instant pudding is so much easier.

Response: So glad you received it, even though it was late. I'm glad you like it. Thank you for the rating!

Response: Thank you - and thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: You're welcome. Glad you liked it.

Response: Glad you like the stamps and the cards. Yes, I had fun with this swap - both the giving and the getting. May post another one in a few weeks. Maybe we'll meet up in another swap. Have a great day! and thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you! I'm getting more zines lately and seeing lots of tips and ideas - like that holder. I got something similar with one of my zines and loved it, too. Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: You're welcome! So glad to see you got them fine. I weighed them at home and mailed on my own without going to the post office window to confirm my postage. Wanted to make sure they got sent off on time and I got to the window after they closed. Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Not a problem . . . I'm glad you got it and want to give it a try. We like that banana bread recipe because it's much more flavorful than the regular kind. Of course we like it regular, too! Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: You're welcome. Thanks for the rating.

Response: Thanks for the rating, and so quick, too. And thanks for the heart!

Response: Thank you for the rating. Have a great week!

Response: So glad you liked the zine. I don't know why, but I still stress over stuff like this, as a first time thing, wondering if it's good enough and will people like it? So it's good to know you welcome it so heartily. Thank you for the rating and the heart! I used the Art Explosion Publisher Pro 2.0 program. This particular one is no longer available, but I think they've come out with an update for it. I first got it way back when I had Windows 95 or 98 and upgraded once. Thankfully it is still compatible with my Vista computer so I still use it from time to time.

Response: So glad it arrived safely and that you like it. I liked the embroidery so much after I did yours that I went on to embroider three more of them. I want to make a set of zippered bags for me as well. And I thought of you as I wandered around shopping today and saw some shabby chic stuff. Hope you have a wonderful week!

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: You're welcome. So glad you like it. Yes, it's fun to look around to find everyday objects to use as rubber stamps.

Response: So glad it arrived there fine and that you like it. It was a fun swap . . . inspires me to organize my sewing studio so I can find all my little goodies better. Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: So glad you like it. Yes! I made it specifically for you. I embroidered the design (it's an Anita Goodesign embroidery) - the April snowman of the month. It seemed fitting for the theme. I layered the sheer bridal illusion tulle over cotton fabric and added the silky-look ribbon trim (it's actually polyester). So it should be washable if you need to wash it, probably let it air dry and not dry in the machine, though - as I did not pre-shrink the materials. I figured you may want to use it to hold crafty items or some such small things. And the raindrops are multi-toned silver metallic threads . . . that along with the sheer (which is kind of clear) to fit the theme. I just uploaded some photos to my flicker page if you want to see what I wrote about how I made it. --- Yes, still getting snow here . . . occasionally get it up through May on some years up here, but the grass is greening up and I see tulips and early bulbs sending up their shoots. Yay, spring!

Response: Thank you for the rating.

Response: Thank you for the rating . . . and the heart!

Response: Thank you - glad you liked them. And thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: Thank you for the rating. Yes, I am enjoying making these blocks. I have enough now for a small quilt, but I'm going to continue with it to make it much larger.

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart. Have a great day!

Response: Yes, I'll likely swing around again to take another peek at your blog. Have a great day!

Response: You're welcome - nice swapping with you!

Response: So I take it you're not going to throw the ugly one out? I wouldn't say "high standard" it was really just a "do over"! Ha, ha . . .

Response: Why thank you! So glad you like them. Have a great time using them in the kitchen cooking something yummy!

Response: Thank you - and you're welcome! As soon as I read about your desire for things with the letter "G" and love for the color red, I knew what I ought to send, but had to also find something "green" since that was what the swap was really all about. Glad you like it.

Response: So glad you liked them. I don't have a huge number of Teesha stamps, but I did order from her twice, so am glad I had something on hand to share that you were interested in. I enjoyed this swap. It was fun to doodle and draw again.

Response: Ditto! The few blogs I've visited so far have been quite interesting. Fun to see the work of . . . and meet the bloggers.

Response: Yes! I'll have to keep my eyes open more to find those products you use and give it a try.

Response: Wonderful! The surprise part of it was a good surprise! Glad that hat went to someone who could appreciate it and have a bit of fun wearing it. I'll let you know if I ever do try to make one of those little pillbox hats - and show pics here on my page if I do. Clyde says, "Hi!" And those are his words not mine. {wink! wink!}

Response: Yes, they should keep you busy for quite awhile. I got to stamping . . . and went crazy doing it, and didn't stop. Plus I organized all my stamps when I put them away - back into their storage drawers! That's good for me.

Response: Yay! So glad you like him! I was wondering if you would or not since the vision of him in my head was quite different that how he really turned out. He really did like to eat that thread!

Response: I hoped you would like it. I'll think of you every time I open my own book.

Response: Was glad to hear you got it okay - and sorry to hear your daughter took a spill. I know how life comes at you sometimes. Thanks for the heart! As a newbie, I'm glad you took a chance on me and helped me get my first rating. It will be fun to do more swaps with you.
