Comment: Your art is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with me! I'm so glad you had fun making these ink box cards. I know what you mean -- they are like mini canvases! And thank you for all the goodies! I adore the vintage items ... I don't have anything like that in my stash! I will treasure them (eventually use them)! And I love the cards! I will put the bunny one in my Bunny journal ... or Botanical ... whichever I end up making. I've been collecting stuff to put aside for various journals. Everything is wonderful ... you spoiled me! Hugs from Ireland!
Comment: Oh my gosh Ali - the extra good were so extra special. Thank you so much plus your spread is ahhhhmazing. You’re so creative. I wish I had all my art supplies to send out but they are all boxed up.
Comment: Hi Ali! Thank you for the great postcards! I love the little white kitten but the coffee one pretty much sums things up for me! My favorite time of day is when my husband hands me my first cup of coffee of the day! lol Happy swapping!🙂
Comment: OMG this squirrel card brought such a smile on my face before I even saw what was inside!! Thank you for sending me a lovely ATC. I will gladly add it to my collection. Happy swapping to you too!!
Comment: Goodness!! I can’t believe you have magazines from the 40’s!!! That is awesome!! I can’t wait to use some of these!! Thank you so much!! Those hairstyles in the yearbook pics!! I kept waiting to see myself!! LOL!! Great swap!! Thanks for the extra large ones too!!
Comment: Thank you for the happy mail! It was nice to receive some extra stickers and a postcard to color and pass along. Take care and keep on swapping...
Comment: Oh. My. Goodness! I wish I could give you multiple hearts! You sent me down an internet rabbit hole and it was a wonderful trip. Not only did I watch the video in the article, Amber is famous. She asked to see a newborn baby then kissed the glass at the baby's head, "demanded" a woman show what was in her purse and then tried to get a snack from her. And there was an old Letterman clip of her when she was little. Letterman was holding her while Jack Hanna talked. What a great way to end my day. Thank you for the uplift!
Comment: Beautifully made ATC and beautifully put together Swap altogether! Thank you for the honeycomb touches! I love the notecard, stickers and your message! Thank you for everything:)
Comment: Thank you for my swap! I loved it! Postcards, stickers, and washi----a perfect combination for me right now. I am really getting into the PC swaps, and enjoying it!
Comment: Thanks for the postcard and sharing about Lilo and Stitch. I absolutely love the movie! I remember watching it MANY, MANY times with my now 21-year-old when she was younger.
Comment: Thanks for pretty card, your nice letter, and enclosures. It is finally time to begin to plant summer flowers. Frost is gone. Warm days! I love this time of the year.Somewhere outside Chicago had a lilac festival every year. Tulips are lovely. They have mostly come and gone here.My favorite flower is the Sunflower.
Comment: Thank you for the zines and stickers and the sweet card! I would have loved to see the zines in color.

Comment: Hello Ali!
Thanks for the amazing cards and extra 😊 this was super 🎉
I also enjoy these spelling swaps so much, I wish there’s more to come both with washi and postcards.
Comment: Your zine came out sooooooooo cute! So cute, in fact, its better than mine. Im not talking to you anymore.
Thank you for the extra fun goodies!
Pretty envelope too!
So much appreciated!
We're not talking. LOL
Comment: What a cute unicorn postcard!reminds me of my little pony. Yeah I could definitely relate to that list. Talking for hours with friends on the phone and reading teen mags..kids nowadays just won't get it.😅
Comment: Ali, I love the ATC that you created! The mail theme, with the postage stamp and the background is only enhanced by your beautiful wax seal. A wonderful swap! Thank you so much!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely BABY pcs. Nice matches! I love the notecard, too. It reminded me of a work friend that collected animal created art. For his birthday one year, we all made animal art with our pets. I borrowed my grandkids turtle since I didn't have any pets at the time. Turtles don't really cooperate when making art. They just retreat into their shell and sit there. Everyone's stories about making art with their pets was so funny. We all made sure that we used non-toxic supplies so the pets didn't get sick. It was fun.
Comment: Zine greetings my friend,
Thank you for your most awesome swap. Your swap very creative, artsy decorated envi, most generous & thoughtful!
Your zine enthusiasm burst thru the entire swap. I am in the process of rooting around looking for any of my past zines to send you. I really appreciated and enjoyed your swap.
Thank you❤️🌻❤️
Comment: Woot!! 2 hearts 💕 Thanks for the envie jam packed full of goodies!! I especially loved the troll papers, moon papers, the yearbook page cutout was awesome (I'm so looking for an old yearbook at the thrift now!), the little glitter moons - did you hand make those?, the solar stickers and the washi sampler!! Oh and the 'hello from the other side stationary is amazing!!
Comment: Thank you for the nice letter and items. I like those small zines that you sent. Those jokes are great! There are so many military bases here. You should come to visit this beautiful island of Oahu.
Comment: Omgwad girl I was not expecting that! I was having a stressful day and then opened my door and saw that big ass envie laying at my doorstep! I love it! Thank you so much! Cant wait to look thru the creepy magazine really good! Wonder if I will find it in my heart to cut it up?!? Hmmmmm? 🤔.... 💜🖤💜🖤☠👻
Comment: Thanks for the postcard of the women of the 20s and for sharing your favorite book and movie. I am familiar with Rent but have not seen it or the other movie. And the book is new to me as well.
Comment: Thank you SO much for such a fantastic swap! Your journal is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to add my spread! I’m so glad you joined in. I love your great zines and ATCs, and I truly appreciate them (and the stickers, too)!
Comment: Thanks Ali! Love the washi and especially the ATC and found words. What a treat! Thank you so much! If you want to swap ATC's in future, send me a message! Thanks again!
Comment: Love this swap Ali! I love the way you think!! I very much understand, and the ATC's will go in a frame on my desk! Yes! I will start thinking of an ATC for you! I cut back to 4 dys a wk at work so I can relax. Goodies are adorable! You are awesome!
Comment: I just love the ATC you made. Thank you for sharing. I also will use up the p/c's, stickers, mini beatrix potter pages, stickers and washi samples. thank you.
Comment: Thank you for all of the lovely zines you sent me 🌸 I especially enjoyed the "Guilty pleasures" zine and I feel like it might inspire me to create a similar zine of my own... I also really love the postcard & ATC! 💌
Comment: Ali, thank you for your interesting music/rose collage card. The snail mail stickers are so cute! Thank you for joining my swap. Handmade is great as I get a nice surprise every time I open an envelope!
Comment: Thank you so much for the great postcard and all the cool facts about Rhinos! When my hubby had his, stroke they brought him some pictures of animals to identify. I was watching over his shoulder and he had them all correct but the lady said he missed one. She showed him again and said he had called a Hippo a Rhino. It was a Rhino! We pointed out the horn. Hippos don't have one. She didn't believe us and still marked him wrong. LOL! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Arrived Today Monday Feb 27.
Thank you for the Beautiful Bookmarks. Love the Quilt design and the one with the lady and the metal hangtag. Very Nice. Great Colors! !
Comment: Hi Ali ! Thank you so very much, for having joined my swap and for telling me all about the "Desert Bighorn Sheep" . Wow, You wouldn't think they weighed that much, 160 - 250 lbs. I wouldn't want to tangle with one ! Especially those huge horns. I did hear something about that, that they've been around since Prehistoric times. Which is amazing when you think about it.
Comment: Oh Ali! This swap is so cool! Thanks for the Juxtapose pages, Tim Holtz paperdolls, and awesome ATC! Great, now I'm gonna stalk your profile page. Lol Let's be friends! Lol 🤯🤓
Comment: Ali, this was such a delight to receive in the mail. I love beautiful ATC with the fun use of words on the front (and the back.) Thank you for the great extras as well. I hope you had a lovely valentines day! Thanks again!
Comment: Oh my gosh Ali, I loved all your zines and goodies! The way you write it like a play; absolutely beautiful. I love it! Thank you so much for everything!
Comment: Ali, wow! Thank you so much for sharing this true crime case with me! I actually have not heard of this case before, so I am super intrigued by it!! I love how you shared information about the case too. I am for sure going to be looking this case up tonight and checking out some of the suggestions you mentioned!! I also LOVE the extras that you sent as well! Are these pages with the true crime stories on it from a calendar?! If so, I must know where you found it!! Anyways, thank you so much for everything!! <3
Comment: Thank you so much for sharing your weekend with me! I'm glad you were feeling better quickly! I love the painted quilt and the coloring pages. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Thanks for the swap and your story.
My friend's daughter would often not go into a room in a mutual friend's house. She would say there was an old man in there that she didn't like. That was when she was 3 to 5 years old. We have not Benn there since as the house was sold. I don't know the new owners but understand that they do think the use is haunted.
Comment: Your wonderful photos arrived today. I really enjoyed looking at them and getting a little glimpse into your world -- and they are beautifully sharp and well-photographed. I particularly like the snowy road, the sweater-themed door and the picture of Styx wrapped in the blanket, but I do like all six pictures!
Comment: My oh my!!!! You went alllllll out on this package of goodie and I so appreciate all the fun. And the ATC was definitely representative of nature in every which way. It's wonderful that you went out of your comfort zone just for me. And the card - I LOVE IT. Even wondering if I could make something like that myself.
Comment: Love the PCs you included! I'm glad to hear from a "local" (sort of--well you know Hyannis and have good memories. I'll write a longer note as a message.
Comment: Thank you for your pretty handmade card, created from your painting. It is an interesting idea to create cards from previous art. Thank you for the gelli print sheets too. Happy swapping!
Comment: Ahhh, thank you so much for the zines and the ATCs and the art! I wish I still had more of my older zines and art to send, but this glimpse into your world was awesome. Thank you for swapping with me!
Comment: First of all.... that art journaled envelope was amazing! I LOVED THE MANY COLORS AND DESIGNS WHAT! What a cool way to interpret the zine. I love that you shared one big childhood memory and that it had the three words in it. Thank you so much for participating. I hope to see you in future swaps. Your drawing skills are great and you are a good storyteller.
Comment: Hi Ali. Thank you so writing honestly to me in your postcard. I hope watching your kids open their Christmas gifts brought you much joy. If you ever need to reach out again you have my address. Postcards are always welcomed and though I might not be able to reply, I will read and listen. You are loved. You are valueable. You are valid.
Comment: Thank you for the notebooks, Ali! I absolutely love textures, so this velour notebook will be my favourite once I start using it. Thank you so much! I’m also not one for resolutions, but rather just constantly trying to improve myself daily. “Kindness” is usually my word. Another one currently is “honesty.” I’ve been surrounded by so much gossip, anger and hostility recently, so these are the things I’d like to show others to sort of combat these negative traits that people are giving off. Happy New Year!
Comment: What a wonderful swap! I love everything, you hit it on the nail!! Thank you so much, love the stickers and postcards! The bookmark blew me away! In love with it. May go in my purse with a book I always carry around. Thank you so much for this great swap!
Comment: Hi Ali! Thank you so much for everything that you sent - I was shocked at the cost though - dang girl! I love it all but feel bad that it was a fortune to mail this fun envie! All the Best, Happy New Year, Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: Hi Ali I loved this hand drawn kitty card and note in your card!! Thanks so much. Yes we got to spend some time with our only grandchild, Shelby!! Also we got our mom 92 yrs old out of the nursing home for a day and had a huge family Christmas celebration!! I loved the washi tapes too!! Thanks so much and Happy New Year!!
Comment: Thanks for the Christmas postcard and sharing about your career path. Good luck student teaching. I started as an Elementary Education major but quickly changed to Middle Grade Education after my first lab experience in a classroom.
Comment: Wow! This package was such a delight!! Everything was packaged so nicely, and was super fun to open. The recipes all sound yummy, and I loved reading your notes about them. I think I’m going to try your mother’s butter rice recipe very soon, as it sounds so simple but good, and I think my kids might actually eat it! :)
Comment: Wow, you really did this right! I love the presentation of your recipes—laminated and all, and in separate interior envelopes. The outer envelope was nicely decorated, too. All of your recipes sound good and I may try one or more of them once Thanksgiving and its leftovers have passed. This is one of the most thoughtfully-made envelopes I have received in a long time. Kudos and thank you! (p.s. The dog hair only adds to the charm. <3)
Comment: Thank you for a delightful decorated envelope, cute spooky cats card, and all the fun washi. I just gave you a follow on IG. We DO seem to have a lot in common! Welcome to swap-bot!
