Comment: Thanks! Both of these teas appear to be right up my alley. I will drink them both tonight at work during my painfully long shift... (At least I have something to look forward to. It's the little things, right?) :)
Comment: Hi, i picked up my parcel today and i agree with you whole heartly, that this was a great swap to be in i thought it was fun as well. Thank you for the great gifts.
Comment: Love the Westminster PC! I love the history of the architecture of some of these churches. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Happy Fall Mailings, ellie
Comment: Thanks for the PC and the great note:) hope fall is treating you alright, it has turned quite chilly here all of a sudden. It makes mail an especially bright spot in the day!
Comment: Thanks--Cheez It's are a stable in our house and I loved the PC! And nice to meet someone from across the country, from Alaska. I have always wanted to visit your state! Happy mails!
Comment: Hi Elizabeth! I got your postcard today, yum I love Jones soda! I've never seen the vanilla bean flavour here though. Is it good? I'm having a hard time imagining vanilla flavoured pop! Look forward to swapping with you again soon :)
Comment: What a delightful cuff! I love the Queen Elizabeth theme, and I'm impressed with how easy the snaps are to open and close. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness.
Comment: I guess they still make Grape Tang and a whole mess of other flavors. Seems to be marketed to a Latino market - labels in Spanish, and flavors I've seen in other Latino-targeted products. I used to have a profile comment with a link to a site selling it, but I don't see it anymore. >:( Grape is sooo good. I still have two packets from Canada. Oh, I love your VERY PURPLE glitter - so shiny! And I like the pictures Jone's uses on their soda.
Comment: What a great carve! You are good. I love the dimples on her knees!
Interesting card too... I'm a map maven, and a geogeek, but for some reason hadn't thought too much about Alaska... those stats are amazing! I traded with someone in the Bot who said that she read James Michener's Alaska once Every Year! I might have to try that once.
Comment: Thank you for the great pc of the bear! So cute, but I wouldn't want to come face to face with one! I have a small butterfly collection too. They are just amazing!
Comment: hi,
thank you for the great items, i actually have one of the lollies in my mouth as i type, i have picked up that book before, looking at the cover i think it is about time i open the cover. thank you again.
Response: I know how you feel. I picked it up about four times before I committed to reading at least three chapters. Then I flew through it.
Comment: Gorgeous Zendala! Thank you for joining the series! <3 I'm starting a stationery shop on Etsy currently. I'll have a link to it in my profile within the next few weeks if you're interested in coming by and checking it out! <3
Comment: Thank you very much for the tea! Pumpkin spice looks very nice :) I'm happy to try tastes I didn't knew before! And I'm really happy to receive your cards from Alaska, I wish to go there one day :)

Comment: Thank you for the nice card. In all of my many postcards I have very few of Alaska so I was extremely thrilled to get yours. Have a fantastic week.
Comment: What a great gift thank you! I've been to Alaska and it's sooo beautiful there and I absolutely laughed out loud when I read your "feed the birds" comment. Thank you thank you thank you! :)
Comment: Oh My Lanta! Where do I begin? First of all..loved getting that beautiful envelope! The PC's, gum, mermaids, and bottle opener were awesome! Esp the bottle opener I love beer and its soo cute! I am also curious about the story behind the mermaids. Is there some kind of folk lore? Thank you so MUCH!
Comment: Thanks to you so much fun arrived in my mailbox today. Wow !! such interesting tea bag flavors. I enjoyed the sparkly notecard and the day brightener personal note.
Thanks for the tip about the upcoming Jane Austen movie.
Comment: Thanks for the great bear penny and Alaska postcard! I saw Brandi Carlisle a few years ago, and it remains one of the top 5 concerts I've ever attended!
Comment: thanks for the mappy alaska card! luv those! so neat to live on an island (to me, ur prolly like whatevs) :P i bet it's beautiful up there either way.
Comment: Thank you for the interesting cereal postcard and for telling me about the languages in your life! Interesting that there should be so many Filipino and Spanish children on an Alaskan island!
Comment: I absolutely love my crown, my "cuffs", and all you sent. You are artistic. my crown looks great on my head. I should be a queen. I collect stamps and have not seen cuffs like these.
Comment: Thank you for the tea. I totally would swap places with you cos I don't like Glasgow much but I love Alaska! I nearly applied to GSOA too :) Hope you come back to Glasgow :)

Comment: Thank you for the pennies and the postcard. I have seen Kodiak Bears at the zoo in Sydney. They are one of my husband's favourite animals. I would love to visit Kodiak Island. Your temperature today seems very similar to ours. Thanks again.
Comment: Absolutely amazing little package! I think they carry different gum where you are. I've never seen this Hubba Bubba... :D Thank you thank you!! I also came to the conclusion that I sign up for tons of your swaps XD So thank you for hosting them as well!
Comment: Thanks for the postcard! I lived in Anchorage for a couple years when I was in my early 20s. I adored it. I wish I knew there was a surfing "scene" in Alaska. Or at the very least thought about questioning people if anyone did surf there. ((Love your derby name!))
Comment: Thank you for the teas and the postcard. I love seasonal teas like the Pumpkin Spice that you sent. The chocolate tea is a new one for me - can't wait to try it!
Comment: Wow! I was SO excited when I opened this swap! I haven't tried the Baby Lips yet,but have been wanting to. And the Moose Smooch was soo cute and smells delightful. And I can't believe you took the time to send me some sea glass. That was such a rad surprise! I've been missing going sea glass hunting lately, so this was a delight!! There are some beautiful pieces in there. Thanks so much - this was so cool!
Comment: Thanks for the fish-themed pressed penny! I've never been to Alaska that is why I don't have a pressed penny from there yet. Now I have one! :D
Comment: Thanks for the card! Living on the Alaska highway my whole life I definitely have it on my wish list of places to visit. I visited Scotland. And I'm not gonna lie one of the reasons for sure was my love of Outlander lol. It must have been amazing to live there! My daughter is a red head too!
Comment: They make Deadliest Catch postcards?! And I always get a smile on my face when I see an Alice in Wonderland quote - I was in a stage production of it when I was about 15.
Comment: Thank so much. It shows great character that after such a long time and going through sickness that sending your swap was that important. I appreciate it. I have switched your 1 to a 5. Welcome back to swap bot.
Response: Sent package out very late. I apologized for the very late package.
Comment: Thank you so much! I really enjoyed getting the tea, and raspberry and blueberry are my favorite fruits! It was very special to get a present from where you live, I looked it up on the internet and it looks beautiful! we are 7635km apart from each other and in a few days I will drink your tea, thanks again!
Comment: I've been keeping my fingers crossed that you actually would send a coin from Alaska. Now I am the happy owner of a penny from Kodiak :) Thank you so much for the coin and lovely postcards! You made my day!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Comment: golly: i am the lucky one for having you
as my partner!!!

the swap with that nice soft deep green
dishcloth + handy dandy stickers ...
it made my day & i am inspired to learn
to knit in the future ~

Comment: Liz, please accept my apologies for this very late rating - I received your wonderful swap over a month ago, and have just really been slacking off from swap-bot commitments lately. So sorry!!! I absolutely LOVED all of the wonderful Valentine stickers that you sent me - the Aussie animals were particularly adorable! I also adore the polar bear PC from Alaska! Thank you for being such a wonderful swap partner, and again, apologies for the late rating! Maggie x
Comment: Wow...This bookmark is Awesome! Thank you so much for adding the frog...Your work is Fantastic! It definitly makes me want to practice more :)
Comment: I never did receive the package though I will go ahead and rate you well because you did try to contact me even though at the time I was unable to reply to your messages. I am resending my partner her package, she should be getting it any day. Im sorry for taking so long to rate you on the swap. Im giving you a heart because you did try to contact me and you was a very good coordinator.
Comment: Dear friend Liz, Kodiak must be very far from here! I sware it is a new city to my list! And how beautiful is! I am not sure but I think I have already saw your handwritting. I will check all my postcards this nite!
Hugs!
Comment: Hi, I received your package today and it's so very gorgious!!!! What great style you have and love the mythical-sea themes. You are very talented. That was definitly worth while waiting so thank you so very much!
Comment: thanks a lot for you very beautiful postcard. it is new for my collection and im sure you chose it with all your tenderness. This one finally reached me a little torn but finally arrived.all my best regards. maite who appriciates your message and postcard for our swap on swap bot
Response: Did send out the postcard on time. And have sent her out another one too... Check out my profile my other partners from this same swap recieved their postcards and gave me 5 ratings.
Comment: What interesting artwork!! I like how you recycled a postcard too. Great idea. Albert Smith's quote is fantastic to think about. Thanks for all!!
Comment: Thank you so much for the cardiopulmonary-butterfly postcard! I love the way you painted over the original Alaska postcard to create the background.
Comment: Wow! What a great package to receive on Valentine's Day! The box was packed so well and carefully...everything was just as it was when you taped it up...the dish is too freaking adorable! I love the way you wrapped and pinned my valentine goodies in the white organza too. This was a true delight to find on my doorstep. You deserve a heart for the effort and choices you made in pulling this swap together. Thank you.
Comment: Thank you so much for everything! You really went all out! I love the buttons soooooo much!!! And is the art original? I liked it so much I hung it up! I listen to a lot of alternative too, so thank you!
Comment: Thank you for the atc's and the badges you sent - they arrived Christmas Eve - so a Christmas treat :) don't worry about the delay - life gets busy!
Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely ribbons and fibers! I can't wait to use them on my dotees! The papers and postcard are loved too of course! I hope you're feeling better! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Comment: Okay - this was sent a month late (which was very dis-heartening - and communication was sporadic and at times lacking altogether) - HOWEVER, she more than made up for it in her thoughtful package. The fiber with its vibrant colors and noils was outstanding, plus the extras showed attention to my profile and - were just plain cute and - again - thoughtful. I expected to rate a 3 after all the hassle, but she really earned the 5 and heart after all!!! Thanks
Comment: OMG! Not only did you send 2 Twilight bookmarks, you sent 2 pins as well!!! You are just too cool. I love everything you sent...just added more fuel to my Twilight addiction. LOL! Where did you get the pins? Did you make them? All I've got to say is...excellent swapper. :)
Comment: I just noticed I hadn't rated you for this one -- I thought sure I'd received the card so I went back through and found it. Love the view of Kodiak and LOVE the vampire stamps! Thank you so much.
Comment: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Elizabeth! I absolutely love the scarf you made and I can't believe you hand spun that yourself. I've never thought to do my own. It's still a little warm here, in N. CA. but I will definitely use in when we go home to OR for Christmas. My in-laws will have snow I'm sure and my parents will have lots of rain and wind as they live on the Columbia Rvier Gorge.
I just love it! Thank you again! :o)
Comment: Thanks for the card, goodies and the quotes! (I must admit I especially enjoyed the joke on the envelope - corny but cute. Thanks for swapping!
Comment: The quote is great! And I love the stamped image on the back of the postcard. The picture on front is beautiful, too. I'd love to visit Alaska. Thank you! :o)
Comment: Thank you so much It was a wonderful postcard
to get. I love p/c's of Alaska specially snowy
scenes, this particular p/c I've been wanting to
get for such a long time. The Alaskan Igloo.
Thank you and Take Care.
Comment: I absolutely LOVE the stamp you put on my postcard - too cool! And the quote was great! Oh, yeah, and the Alaksa postcard is awesome! Way to be and thank you!
Comment: Hi, Liz!
I have just received your Aurora Borealis postcard and I have to say it is a spectacular night scene! And what a night! Thank you very much for chosen this card to me!
Comment: It was interesting reading your letter - it reminded me of the 2 years i spent living on the lisland of Okinawa - though I think Okinawa is larger, but maybe it seemed larger because the speed limit was so slow compared to US -thank you for sharing part of you world with me - and thanks for the postcard!
Comment: What an interesting list of answers! I loved having the opportunity to learn about Kodiak -- a place I was aware of, but never knew anything about. Thanks too for the lovely note card and the post card. What a spectacular place!
Comment: We just got your package from the Children's Goodie Box swap and my kid is sooooo excited. She said she wishes we could give you a 10 instead of just a 5 because you put so much extra (and really awesome) stuff in! Seriously, there aren't enough hearts to say how much you made her day, and mine :) Thank you!!!
Comment: Thanks you, Elizabeth, that is a really well done portrait quilt! I like it very much and the netting works beautifully. I like Modigliani but do not hae a book of his work so that it a good addition to a fairly large collection.
Comment: Thank you so much for the cool postcard from Alaska with the Whale tail and the Moon, etc. AND the picture stamped on the back.
I love it!
Unfortunately it didn't get post marked.
But, hey, we should expect that that might happen.
:-)
Comment: Oh yeah - I love Labyrinth! I so wanted my hair to do the David Bowie thing he had going in that film. *sigh* never happened :-) Thanks for the card!
Comment: Thank you SO much for the smashed penny.
It's so fun to see where people go to do their pennies.
We loved it!
Mahalo,
