Comment: thanks for tea, and luck with the winter :)

Comment: Thank you so much! I loved the teas you sent me last time so I know this group will be just as wonderful. Tonight the temperature is supposed to be -8 f, freezing, but sounds like nothing compared to your temperatures.

Comment: Hi Joanna! Thank you so much again for the great 'Survival Letter'; it is so cool and interactive, and I really love it <3

Comment: Thanks. I love the tea that you sent!

Comment: Kiitos, ihanat teet olit valinnut. Plussaa pienistä lapuista teen kyljessä mistä ilmenee haudutusaika + sisältö. :)

Comment: Hilarious pc!! That is a great card :) thanks so much

Comment: Teas are wonderful!! Beautiful tea holder!!

Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing teas. I've never seen any of them before and with the weather getting cold I can't wait to try them.

Comment: Kiitos mahtavasta tee valikoimasta ja ihanan pirteästä kirjekuoresta! Lähes kaikki teet on uusia tuttavuuksia. Kaupassa olen kyllä nähnyt mutta ne eivät ole vielä päätyneet ostoskoriini. :)

Comment: Thank you for the fantastic card! I will definitely look up the artist. Sounds like a great swap you got!

Comment: Thank you for the very pretty card. The Swans are beautiful.

Comment: Love the owl...so cute!thanks for the beautiful envelope too,I get cramps fingers too. Especially with zentangles. But I love to do them!

Comment: I just love the tea you chose for me and will enjoy the sucker! Great swap and I thank you so much!

 

Comment: Very cool! I may have to give it a try!

Comment: I love your surprises!! You spoileld me. Sorry for my late reaction and not rating. The chocolate was yammie!!

Comment: Thank you for resending! I definitely did not get this one the first time. Wonder what happened to it? And I loved the little history lesson--I find Finland very interesting so I enjoyed learning more about it. Thank you again!

Comment: Thank you for the poem. (I loved Descent too! I will have to think a bit on a book list to send your way.)

Comment: Thank you for the fascinating (and detailed!) responses! :)

Comment: Thanks for the zine. I know of geocaching but haven't tried yet. There's a cache hidden where I work :)

Comment: Thank you! I LOVED your zine on geocaching! I've wanted to do this for a while, but we haven't gotten around to trying it out yet. I hadn't heard of night caching! Interesting! :)

Comment: Thanks so much! I can't wait to try the bars you sent. I'll probably have one tomorrow for breakfast. xxx It was very kind of you to send 4, and no I haven't seen any of those here in the UK. You rock! xx

Comment: WOW! awesome geozine! Could have used copies of this at the cache and learn event on Saturday, as lots of new people attended to find out about this hobby. I have been a registered cacher since early 2009...as of today, I have 1,143 finds, 46 hides/events to my credit with 38 of them still active... THE TRIBAL DANCER is my .com name...I have found caches in 7 countries. thank you for the very informative geozine...love it!

Comment: Nice card, thank you. And you have very pretty handwriting. Karolina

Comment: Thank you so much for such a great postcard! I really love it and your handwriting is so gorgeous! I adore small handwriting! I had only heard one of the songs you listed (I Lived by One Republic) but I have the other ones a listen and liked most of them. I really loved History by Controller.Controller and Gold Lion by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Thanks so much for a great swap!

Comment: What an amazing ATC! Thank you so much! Xoxo

Comment: I just love my blue kitty! Absolutely delightful. Thank you!

Comment: I can't say enough about this beautiful wolf I named Jack. The detail is awesome, the coloring is perfect and his eyes are mesmerizing. Your writing is so neat and clean. I am ordering those pens. Thank you bunches.

Comment: What a great card! I usually like the creepy better than the cute but this one is so amazing that i like it just as much either way. The funny part is it looks like we used the same antique illustration as a reference image for this swap! I have made a couple hand carved stamps from the same illustration. Any time you want to do a private ATC swap let me know. I always love hand drawn cards. I actually got some finnish folk tales as a kid too! My mom read stories from all over the world out loud to me and had a heck of a time trying to pronounce "Väinämöinen." I still love folklore from everywhere, too. My favorite illustrator for them is Arthur Rackham--I wish I could draw like him! Maybe someday.

Comment: Hi dear, thank you for a rubber stamps but not only for that. I loved how you decorated you envie, it was simply adorable and I surely loved the stickers. It was very thoughtful! I appreciate it!

Comment: thank you for the lovely view postcard, hope the ice has melted so you can enjoy your walks more :)

Comment: great package, these nordquist are so nice, thank you. thank you for reminding me about the angelling, i will do my best not to forget now:)), i found the note in my notebook now too:)

Comment: Wonderful! Lovely! Yummy! I adore these tea bags. Yes, yes, you did send me flavor combos I cannot get in the US. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Comment: Oh, wow! Thank you for the gorgeous, gorgeous postcard!

Comment: I LOVE your tiny writing - so much fun stuff to read on here! Nice to meet another Geocacher here on swap-bot. My husband and I met at an event (held by his brother of all things!) 11 years ago or so... so if there are events in your area, go check them out, for you never know who you will meet or if you will make a new friend in the process. Thank you for the awesome Attack of the 50 ft woman - I LOVE this card! Have a wonderful day and happy Caching!

Comment: Johanna, Thank you for such a lovely swap!

Comment: Thanks for a beautiful Tampere pc and such a nice note, also!

Comment: Hi Johanna, thank you so much for my lovely package. I'm looking forward to trying the snack bars and thank you for the extra camomile teas - I'm going to have the first one tonight. What I loved most though about your package was how amazingly it was decorated - it was beautiful, a real work of art. Thank you xx

Comment: LOVED the card and your handwriting is spectacular! And the kitty stamp? LOVE LOVE LOVE

Comment: Hello to Finland!!! Thanks for this beautiful striped postcard! It came through the mail just as if it had been sent by my neighbor! Your Japanese Ghosts sound fun! Which one did you draw? I could do without washing the Big Foot! LOL Your stamps are unique! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

Comment: So worth the Finland to US wait! I haven't even begun to stuff my face with the adorable goodies! Your bitching is SO relatable! And your penmanship! I would practice until my hands bled to write that nicely. I am a potty mouth too, so reading your letter felt like having a conversation with a friend. Win all the way!

Comment: Kiitos swapista, se teepannu leima kuoressa oli aivan ihana <3 ei ollut yhtään uutta teetä mulle swapissa mutta panostuksesi teki vaikutuksen :)

Comment: Such a beautiful card, thank you so much for sending it to me <3

Comment: Thanks for the Ugly Stickers ATCs which were pretty epic (as I expected them to be)! ^___^

Comment: Thank you so much for this wonderfull swap!!! The mustache is so funny :) I do know the Victorian cut outs, we call them 'poezieplaatjes', I love crafting with them! :)

Comment: Thank you for the yummy teas! They look so good and I can't wait to try them. I especially like strawberry tea! I appreciate you sending the ingredients as well. Thanks again! ~ Katie

Comment: Hi Johanna! Yes, it's been years, but I have seen Bela as Dracula! I'd love to have seen your impression! LOL!

Comment: Thank you for the postcard and great stamp. I really like the mushroom decorations too.

Comment: Lovely card and the envelope is gorgeous too! Thanks for explaining the technique behind it, I'll have to give it a try too :)

Comment: That is the cutest postcard! I've never seen those type of sticker cards - and - thank you for the Moomin picture - It's a rare treat to see it. Thank you for a fabulous swap. Happy day to you .

Comment: Thanks for the card and thanks for the recognizable life story. Takes back memories :).

Comment: Oh my gosh, I literally was crying with laughter while reading the letter. The postscript was even more hilarious! You nailed it on the extras, although I do think the tea is pretty cool. (I don't know why, but I love seeing stuff that isn't written in English and it does actually still retain the aroma of tea.) You did a FANTASTIC job on this swap. I'd give you more hearts if I could! :) Thank you for taking the time and don't knock yourself about not being a writer. That was a cool story. :)

Comment: Awesome! I just bought myself some microns again too. 005 for life!

Comment: Awesome job thank you. Debbie

Comment: Beautiful. Thank you for your creation!

Comment: Hi Yofu! I "saved rating" long ago! Do not know what went wrong! Posting once more ... Hi Johanna! I really liked your Hand of Friendship swap :) It is so beautiful & delicate, the trace of your hand You made! I love your colour choices, & yes, the design is fun! I loved your envelope too!

Comment: Johanna Johanna Johanna, miten tarpeeks kiittäisin sua tosta ihan mielettömän upeesta Darylista?!! Oon ihan täpinöissä, älä yritä edes vähätellä taitojas! Ihan parasta, kiitos isosti ja vielä enemmänkin♥ for the English speaking folks, Johanna sent me the most amazing painting of Daryl, I can't ever thank her enough! This girl's got skills, hope to swap with you again :)

Comment: Dear Johanna, thanks a lot for the super awesome tea journal in my favourite colours! <3 Wow, I wish there's a tutorial to make this book because it looks so fun and lovely ^_^ No worries about the pages. My partner got an even thicker journal from me ;) I have a LOT of teas to try and this journal would be full with my tea experiences in no time :D I also truly appreciate all the teas that you attached in the journal pockets <3 I haven't got any of them before and just seeing the wrappers make me happy because they are either cute or beautiful. That's very nice of you to enclose the descriptions of the tea at the back. I enjoy reading your tea entry as well and I don't mind about the plain envelope since the great stamps already make the envelope looks interesting to me ;) Greetings from very hot and sunny Malaysia! ^_^

Comment: Thanks! I love Jon Snow!

Comment: Haha! What an adventure! I love it! I think I'll giggle every time I visit the produce section now :P And you have such lovely writing!!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful swap! Kiitos upeasta profiilin mukaan tehdystä swapista. Tosi nättiä työtä :) ja teevalintakin oli herkullinen!

Comment: I was simply blown away by how amazing the Batman on my envelope was! I showed it off to everyone who would stand still long enough, just great! Also, I love white and milk chocolate so I'm looking forward to eating my chocolate surprise!

Comment: Very cool, macabre card! Thanks! Karolina

Comment: Received today. Thank you very much Johanna, the tea looks all great. And the chocolates! I've already tried the moomin one and is delicious :D I'm sending my swap tomorrow and I hope you enjoy it too!

Comment: Wow, second time, and another delicious package again! I have to invite the girls again for a new high tea party :-) And love your letter. THANKS A LOT!

Comment: Kiitoksia paljon! 1000 hearts for making my day after really weird & stressfull hours at work <3 I love the Moomin teas, of course, but I also love the way you wrote the card. Thanks for translating, I am a bit behind with learning Finnish, cause daily life leaves less time for such nice things those days... So a yummy cup of tea & such happy mail is perfect! Have a wonderful day :)

Comment: Hey Johanna, I got your card today!! haha once you told me the artist was NSFW, I had to google him haha you got me curious. I dont get easily offended so i had good laugh at some of his paintings. Thanks for sharin:)

Comment: Kiitos hauskasta kortista! En tiedä raskinko värittää sitä :D. Tuollaiset postikorttikirjat olisi kyllä hieno löytö, joskus on ollut jotain taideaiheisia/mustavalkoisia valokuva -aiheita, mutta ei niitä yleensä kyllä näe. Täälläkin on aivan mahtavan talvista, tykkään illalla viedä posteja niin saa ihailla tummaa talvi-iltaa :).

Comment: hello! i know that my tea list is ridiculous, but you did so well! i love those fruity teas. i haven't tried the lemon or blueberry one yet! thanks again and i'll message you soon for pen-palling!

Comment: I like the postcard and the plans for the hiking trip. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with me!

Comment: It was nice to read your letter. And the tea? The package was so nice! I was with three kids and there were so much kids-teabags. We immediately organised a little teaparty! Each kid its own teabag of choice :-) Thanks for all the fun we had!
