Comment: Thanks for sticking through all the rounds! So many things to comment on. Totally watch Daredevil, it's amazing. :) Ditto Inside Out, but maybe be ready to cry. My brother and I used to drag ourselves out of bed every Saturday to watch that X-Men cartoon. Loved it. Thanks again! Happy swapping.
Comment: Thanks!! In one list, you say cats are the best pets and that snakes are murderers. I thought you should see this webcomic: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_kill :D :D
Comment: Can I just say that Robyn Stone is the bet writing buddy ever! I received my package today, and was so excited, to see that it was from Robyn. Then I opened the box, and there were all of these wrapped gifts in addition to the required items. Thanks Robyn you're the best. I'll look forward to opening each letter and gift on the 1st of every month.
Comment: Heartfelt letter. I appreciated reading it the first time and then the second time to my partner. Amazing story. Your gift was most delightful. I plan to use it as a meditation 'rosary' during this season as a way to count things I am thankful for. I wish I could give you a hundred hearts!
Comment: thank you for the awesome herbal tea recipie! I am excited to try it out. I have a hibiscus tree so next year I will need to grow some calendula, sage and get an elder bush! which were on my to plant list! this hematite is very nice too~ thank you very much!
Comment: Congrats on the book from Acadia and on all the writing you've been doing. Sounds like you're on a roll and I hope it feel great.
That's a beautiful book mark.
Comment: Robyn, I love everything. What an unusual burlap tote bag. The journal, box of notecards, butterfly stickers and bookmarks are just great. Thank you, Shirley
Comment: Thank you so much!! I'm sorry your printer is broken, but it makes a letter so much more personal. My printer is also broken, haha, and that is what I tell myself.
Comment: The package finally made it! Thanks for the lovely washi tape! I have so many patterned ones, so it is nice to have the plain colors to go along with them!
Comment: I confess: I envy your poetic life and am wishing you had sent me one of your books for my birthday! What a lovely connection to have with your father-in-law. I am so glad you found the time to do the Poem in Your Pocket Day scavenger hunt and then shared all those glorious poems with me. This was my first year carrying a poem and I enjoyed the relational dynamics. Nordgren is intriguing. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Comment: Thanks for all the wonderful poems and for the letter. It's a pleasure to know that at least one swapper is a true poet. (rare as hen's teeth, I think, on swap-bot)
Comment: What an eclectic bag! The first item was sensory: a citrus scent when the package was opened. To not find anything with that scent immediately set the writer imagination in flight! I'm writing mystery now and loved that little mystery. (Did you spray the inside of the bubble bag? It wasn't the obvious item.) The fleur-de-lis medallion is most intriguing. And the super sharp points on the pencils drew my attention. I'll see where all of this leads!
Comment: Great job on your board! I like these different art swaps. This way I get to learn about all these artists. I enjoyed your board very much. Thank you.
Comment: I'll keep you in my prayers on those great intentions. And I know you'll have a great time in Gatlinburg. My sister and I with our families, met there a few years ago because it was halfway between my home in Va and her's in Tenn. It was awesome! Me and the kids still remember it with joy.
Comment: This is one of the most caring swaps I have received! Anne Frank's story is one of the most touching stories I've ever read! To have a quoted bookmark of her own words feels amazing! You could not have chosen a better bookmark to make for me. This is my new favorite bookmark for sure! Thank you so very much!
Comment: The letter from Severus was very well written, I could almost believe it was real. I was also happy to find that there was not one Americanism in sight. (Often I find that in fictitious writing sometimes there can be cultural errors) But you were spot on :D I also liked the little wax seal you used, it was very cool. (Though I myself am a hufflepuff. :)) Thank you so much! Hopefully Draco will find the time to write back to his godfather in between buying his new hogwarts stuff and getting excited over starting school, if he remembers :D
Comment: Thanks for sharing your list (loved to see HP on it! heehee). Definitely a lot of things I could relate to. Give your kitties a snuggle for me!
Comment: Thank you for your swap, I'm sorry I was so late in rating you! The letter was tucked under my monitor. I'm glad to see once you changed your goal it worked out better for you
Comment: Thank you for sharing your photos and for the message on swap-bot so the email didn't get lost. What a great transformation. Congrats! And I love your owls!
Comment: this made my day. thank you so much. shepard is one of my all time favourite characters and you wrote her beautifully.
(also you ended with "i should go" i can't believe this bless you)
Comment: What fantastic poems! The writing and the images are really lovely. You captured the writing conundrum of putting it all down before it's lost to someone else so very perfectly. Annnnnd the kitties, awwww. Thank you for sharing. :)
Comment: This was postmarked 7/1 and I only received it today! The postal system really put the slow in snail mail this round. :o Thank you for sharing your very sweet story. I really enjoyed it - the frustration, then the connection and wonder. Fireflies play a role in my summery childhood memories too. :)
Comment: Mass Effect is TOTALLY good for the soul. Best. Game. Ever. FemShep is totally my role model, although maybe I shouldn't admit it on the internet. :P
Comment: Thanks for the link! I really enjoyed your board and followed it. There were definitely some great pins on there--useful and inspiring as well :-)
Comment: Thanx for sharing your thoughts and reading list. The Dewbreaker by Edwidge Danticatlooks interesting to me. I know that I am a brat for being late in rating, I ask your forgiveness.
Blessings,
Comment: Thank you for the nice letter. Always fun to read a handwritten letter. Very interesting. Just curious, where did you get the questions ? I had them written and was ready to put them in the messages and here in the mail came your letter. Just curious. Thanks again.
Comment: Hi! Your goodies arrived today! Fist, the envelope made me excited! Of course, the things inside also made me excited! You included my favorite Slytherin color ribbon. ;) Thank you for everything! รฃยโรฃโล รฃยลรฃยยจรฃยโ รฏยผยรฏยผย
Comment: Thank you for your letter about the book. I loved all your comments, even your thoughts about what you didn't like about the characters. Great job!
Comment: Love your bucket list, probably the most unique one I've seen yet and you took the time to handwrite it :). Thank you so much and hopefully you will be able to accomplish all the things you set out to do..
Comment: I love, love, loved reading your 20 Facts Pen Pal Letter! OMG! Amazing! If interested, I will most certainly be writing you back! I feel we have A LOT in common and could become great pen friends/postcard pals. :) Thank you!
Comment: Love your envelopes.... They turned out just fine. I love the papers you used... And, thanks for the note. Good luck with school and a wedding......
Comment: Thank you for a wonderful, long letter! I'm excited to write you back..just give me a couple days to a week, and I should have a reply back out to you! :D
Comment: wow-almost did not see your teeny tiny little swapbot name on the pc, it was covered up with a postmark! haha! very pretty pc...and nice haiku too. Thanks so much! happy swapping!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely card! I forgot to mention, I LOVE Apples to Apples and Sardines. We used to play Sardines ALL the time growing up. It was funny for us to try and fit everyone in a closet!
Comment: Thanks for the suggestion of a new author that you think I'd really like. I plan to check out his work . . .and thanks for the great postcard!
Comment: What a beautiful bookmark! did you make that one. The beads were perfect and the ribbon very pretty.
Unfortunately, my mail-person for some reason left the door down on my mailbox and we had thunderstorms. The ink in the letter ran so I couldn't read your letter! :(
Comment: Hello Robyn,
Thank you for your 3 favorite poems you shared with me for the "Your Favorite Poems" Swap. Two of the poets I know---Poe and Blake and you introduced me to a new poet with Donne. However, when it came to poems, I was only familiar with "Alone." I also appreciate you writing about the reason you like each poem. I am looking forward to adding your poems to my collection of poetry I am putting together. Thanks for being a contributor. I look forward to being partnered up with you again so we can swap. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!!!

Comment: Thanks for the poems -- Tyger, Tyger has always been one of my favorites, too. I hadn't ever read The Flea although I have read Donne (what Eng. major hasn't) but I did enjoy it. Ditto for the Poe piece. I thought I had covered his work pretty thoroughly but this was not familiar. BTW - have you read To a Louse by Robert Burns? That is one of my favorites in what I sometimes think of as "insect poetry"! Good luck with your studies -- we have a granddaughter who is a freshman just starting out planning to be an English teacher this year. I will think of you when I think of her -- and September weddings can be great. We will celebrate our 45th anniv. on 3 Sept -- May you & your fiance have the same long-lasting happiness!
Comment: Thanks so much for the songs - some of them were songs I have listened to over and over as well - funny that the same songs can mean so many different things to so many of us. Thanks again.
Comment: Wow! What a beautiful job you did in wrapping this. I'm waiting 'till Christmas to "open" it, but I already love the yarn! I'm rating you trusting that the insides are as nice and meet the reqs.
I LOVE it! Thanks so much for the beautiful little box and all the other cool stuff. You outdid yourself!
Carol
Thank you!

Comment: Ahhh, thank you for the sweet Lily Lightly postcard. Brings back good memories, my daughters LOVED Little Ponies as they were growing up! Sorry it took me so long to rate. I had two postcards from this swap that slid behind my monitor and I just found them tonight! :( I really enjoyed your card, though!! :D
Comment: Wow! Love the looks of it! Just got back from vacation so it was a nice suprise! Can't wait to see what goodies are inside...thinking a skinny-ish fall scarf ! Thanks so much!
Comment: Thanks, Robyn, for your great letter! I enjoyed reading it and learning about your intellectual interests and pursuits. And thanks for the cute stickers!
Comment: Thank you so much! I looove my Ravenclaw stuff... I've rocked it all already ;) And it's especially awesome because my head is very picky about what beanies will look good on it, and this one does!! Thanks so much, and awesome swap idea too ;) <333
Comment: Thank you so much! I love Gabriel! He's so soft and cuddly. My twin girls love him too. Actually I'm not sure if they'll give him back to me. LOL! Minxy & Shadow are adorable too. They have that vintage "look" that I like. They're on my desk keeping me company. :o)
Comment: I LOVED this!!! It was very interesting. It took me a few paragraphs, but I finally realized it wasn't the lady's husband, but her pet. Very very cute.
Comment: I do understand why you would miss New Orleans. Though I have never been there myself, through Ann Rice I feel like I have been!! You understand that! I have never desired to be in the big Mardi Gras crowds, I'd just like to see some of the houses and older neighborhoods. Thanks for the package, I enjoyed it very much!
Comment: If I could, I'd give you 100 hearts. The journal was fantastic, loved what I've read so far. Thanks, it's a 'book' I'll keep forever. Rated a 5
Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely letter. It was lots of fun to read. And the heart is for the recipe, which I will definitely try next time it's my turn to make dinner! ^-^
Comment: I enjoyed reading your letter and hope to send you a return letter soon. Thanks for the recipe. I don't cook often, but maybe I can convince my boyfriend to cook it (it sounds really good!).
Comment: This was so much fun to open! The stickers are great---I especially love the ones with the flower bulbs on them--I've never
seen any like this. Thanks bunches!
