Comment: Thank you so much for the cool looking piece of cardboard. We have just re-opened some of our stores and restaurants too. Right now our cases are kind of high for our small city but hopefully it will start to go down soon.

Comment: Thank you for your beautiful letter, your candor, and the extra goodies!

Comment: Thank you for sharing this book with me. Very much appreciated!

Comment: Thanks for the swap and for your nice note. I could almost picture the valley while I was reading your description. I agree about the postcard. Either the statue or the scenery. This shot, at least, trying to get both doesn't work. I have seen a lot of the /Colorado Rockies but can't wait to get to Canada to see the real ones.

Comment: A beautiful mother and child polar bear cut n paste. I'm glad you didn't glue the polar bear side to the card. 😅 I love your calligraphy penmanship. Thanks postmarkd!

Comment: Glad to see you back this week. Desks / tables are the hardest, aren't they? Always have their tops available for stuff :)

Comment: Thank you Katelynn for the pretty card, along with 3 PC's and stickers & papers!

Comment: I'm so lucky to get two of your ATCs in such a short time ! I love what you did for the "In a small boat" prompt, it's spot on. I love the soft, more subdued colours of the row of houses vs. the black silhouette of the man in his boat. It's striking ! Thank you so much. ^_^

Comment: Whoa, what a beautiful ATC ! I'm so glad to get it ! The touches of gold are such a nice touch. It's really nice to see the reference photo and see how you adapted it to your style. Thank you for the extras too. Also, I love your printed enveloppe and the wax seal, and your penmanship too ! I wish I could write half as well. I have the same awful cursive since I was a child.

Comment: Thanks a lot for your postcard. We don't have a lot of snow in Belgium. Some years we haven't any :(

Comment: Hi Katelynn, your postcard came in this morning. It's the first swap-bot swap I've received from a fellow Canadian! (and the 3rd one I've received so far since joining). I love wax seals - really like the paper plane one you've included on the postcards. The postcard itself is such a treat to read. Your handwriting takes me back to the days when mails were written with feather pens and sealed by wax. I hear you about picking up a postcard and realized there's something about it that's not working. The one I sent came from the beautiful Chutes provincial park in Massey, ON. And then I realized there's a person in the photo next to the rapids, which ruined it for me. I'll add Cochrane, AB to my travel list :)

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful atc and the extras if I could give more than a heart I would.

Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing letter! It is definitely one of the prettiest envelopes I've gotten. I love the galaxy style print and all the extras are just gorgeous. The bookmark is stunning and I loved reading your letter. Your writing is so lovely. SO small and neat. I feel like you must use such a fine tipped pen. Thank you again :)

Comment: Katelynn - Looking forward to see what you create for your Etsy shop. Good luck.

Comment: HOW ARE YOU SO TALENTED!!??! Oh my god, oh my god I love everything about this gorgeous bookmark, your handwriting doesn't even seem real it's that beautiful! Thank you so much for everything, for joining the swap, for the bookmark and the letter and everything and for being so talented! I hope you have a stunning weekend!

Comment: Hi Katelynn, thank you so much for your email! It was awesome to read through! I especially loved the fonts and all the little extras you added! I'll definitely have to add some of those books to my tbr! Stay safe xx

Comment: Wow, 200 bookmarks! They're so pretty, too.

Comment: You have such lovely handwriting! And the graphic on the card is very attractive as well. My husband is the beer fan in our family and I do admit I'll sometimes buy him something based on the packaging! (except not IPAs - like you, he doesn't enjoy those)

Comment: Writing back:)

Comment: TC - Such interesting art - great start on the organization of your paper. keep it up

Comment: I loved your photos and the stories to go with them + all the extras, thank you.❤️ (Your camera takes better photos than mine)

Comment: Congratulations on getting so much done! It all looks lovely! You must be very pleased with yourself :) Best of luck in future rounds! Take Care :)

Comment: I love that you sent pictures of what you got accomplished this week! I am going to try to do the moving forwwrd for my bigger tasks as it is always interesting to reflect on that. Congrats on accomplishing what you did and I wish you lots of success with your etsy shop!

Comment: Thanks so much - I'm looking forward to opening these over the holidays! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Happy Swapping! I just wanted to thank you again for such a lovely box - you really made my Christmas special. It was a joy to open everything.

Comment: Thanks for the great suggestions! I haven't read any of them or any of the authors. I'll look for them. :)

Comment: I enjoyed reading your progress this week, Katelynn. Great work! See you next week :)

Comment: Thank you so much for the thoughtful Canadian gifts for me☺️ I enjoyed everything as if I traveled Canada!! I hope you can come to Japan as this pandemic will be settled down;) Have a great autumn day!!!

Comment: Your card truly represents the definition of "extra special", it's an absolutly AMAZING card! Truly a piece of art. I did one time a nebula watercolor and I KNOW how much time it takes, so thank you so much for your time you spent to make me something more than beautiful! Your handwriting is mind-blowing by the way! I could feel the thoughtfulness right away... I also loved so much your wax seal, it was my first here! And you are lucky indeed to be able to see all those cool things in the sky... Thank you again for everthing, what a PERFECT postcard! (Lucky it arrived without any scratch!)

Comment: Wow, this is a very good drawing! Thank you for sharing it with me! :)

Comment: Oh WOW! Your Carl is PERFECT! I really love the drawing! <3

Comment: I love your portrait of Charlize! I agree that she is a very talented (and so versatile!) actor. Have a splendid weekend. 🌟🌟

Comment: Your drawing was worth the wait Katelynn! Thank you.

Comment: Hi Katelynn! Thanks for the ugly PC. The legacy statue looks pretty but you’re right the angle is wrong, and it’s so pixelated. But you made it beautiful with your lovely penmanship & cheerful chatty note. Take care & have fun :)

Comment: Wow! This PC is amazing! Love your description of Newfoundland. I have been to Nova Scotia where my great grandmother grew up (Melrose, NS)—so beautiful! Definitely want to get to Newfoundland, also. Thank you for an awesome swap!

Comment: Thank you so much for the super fun playlist!! I love the variety of instrumentals they are so fun and really add to the spooky feel of the season. I'm totally adding some of these to my list!

Comment: Loved how you turned it into almost like a newsletter. Interesting reads - thank you for sharing!

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful card. I admire your handwriting. =O

Comment: At the risk of sounding like Trump, your package is...classy, very classy. :) Beautifully put together. I'm so fortunate that you are my "receives from" partner. I love that you sent me the inspiration photo along with the ATC. Gorgeous pen and ink drawing. Beautiful Norwegian scenery. I watched the 10 hour "Train Journey to the Norwegian Arctic Circle, Spring" which makes this little card even more lovely to have received. And thanks so much for your beautiful handpainted bookmark. **Update:** the train ride video through Norway use to be on Netflix but now it's on Youtube. Here's the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xisVS_DKpJg

Comment: Thanks for the reviews. I thought they actually all sounded good 8)

Comment: thank you. heard of a few of them, i'll have to check the rest out

Comment: I'm super excited to listen to the instrumentals because that's definitely the weak point of my playlist! Thanks so much for linking the playlist and separating it like that. Makes it easy to find stuff!

Comment: Great playlist. A few familiars and lots of new songs to pinch! =D Y'know, you are the first person in such a long time who even knows who A Perfect Circle are! Love that you like the Nightmare Revisited stuff too!

Comment: Thank you so much for the ATC and the bookmark, I love the throne of glass books.

Comment: Wow thank you so much for sharing your amazing boards. I now know where to look wherever I want to travel to Canada. You really outdid yourself. Both Ryan's are so cute didn't know they were Canadians. I'm defiantely going to follow your board (also learned a new thing didn't know you could add sub sections to your board)

Comment: Thank you for the whimsical zine. I absolutely loved it. The envelope letters and zine itself were all very detailed beautiful and well made. When I saw the envelope in my mailbox I could not contain my joy It was awesome.

Comment: OMG, how lucky am I to have you ask to do a private swap?! 😊 🎨 That's a beautiful watercolour painting. The additional shimmer is perfect for the evening light bouncing off the water and clouds. I'm going to frame this painting. Your penmanship and calligraphy are lovely. Thanks so much for the book suggestions, they sound like my style of books. Thank you so much for sharing your artwork with me.

Comment: Ohhhhh, I also like David Tennant, I think he's a gorgeous actor. And the tenth was my favourite doctor too, along with the eleventh. 🤗 Also I think the portrait looks great! 👍🏻

Comment: Great drawing. I started watching Doctor Who with David Tennant. In France, it's a series watched by geeks, it doesn't have the same success as in other countries

Comment: Howl’s Moving Castle!!! Amazing...! Thank you so much for shared your skills. I really like to see the artist's desk! Have a wonderful day!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful lynx postcard! :) I've never read The Dresden Files or watched the series (I just googled it).
