Comment: I am so happy that I got to know you and your blog through this swap. Thanks for making this swap personal and fun.

Comment: Thank you for commenting on my baby!

Comment: Thanks so much for your comments on my blog. :)

Comment: Hi Andrea nice to meet you and thanks for your comment. Happy Xmas

Comment: I am only rating you because you technically did do the swap. However I found your comment somewhat inappropriate. If two throwaway sentences out of 16 paragraphs of writing that had little to nothing to do with those sentences incenses you so much, it is a good thing you are not following my blog. I am very blunt and vulgar with a sometimes awkward, "bad" sense of humor and you would have almost indefinitely been offended at some point in the future from something I had written. I was not personally attacking you or people with disabilities. I was quoting a movie and making a throwback joke to the movie in question. But most of all I was making fun of myself as I am very prone to do. If you didn't like that post you could have commented on something else. In the three years I have had that blog I have never said that word. Not because I find it particularly offensive but because I don't use it in my normal vocabulary to the point where it is practically non existant from my speech. I understand that it is a sore spot for you, and maybe if our roles were reversed I might think so too.

Comment: Thanks for the lovely comment! Hope to see you back soon!

Comment: Thanks for your comment and for taking the time to look at my blog. :o)

Comment: Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

Comment: Thank you for the super cute Ernie the envie!

Comment: Wow! That's a really cool story you got there(: I am really amazed by the idea of using all the words in a crossword puzzle to create a story(: Thanks!

Comment: WOW! How clever you are, I was floored by the ATC you created! Talk about thinking outside of the box, it would never occur to me in a million years to make an ATC with radio parts !!!! But I love it and as soon as I can I am going to add a photo to my Flickr so that people can check it out it's truly unique and I cherish it! Thank you!

Comment: I enjoyed reading your answers! I like the mini moleskine too!!

Comment: Thanks for the slams and recipe. It really looks yummy!!!

Comment: What a terrific ATC! I don't have any fabric ones in my collection, and this is really special. Thanks, too, for the embroidery floss.

Comment: Love love love this... My first cloth with stitching atc and my favorite color! Thanks so much

Comment: Loved your presentation! The tree is now hanging up as a decoration!!

Comment: Thanks for th newspaper,although I haven't seen it yet.My husband took it first,he thinks he has the right to read newpapers before the other members of the family.When a man reads the newpaper he never listen and say yes to every thing you say or ask.We women use that.

Comment: Thanks for the buttons and extra thanks for the orange ones I asked for in my profile, I really appreciate the extra effort and the buttons you selected are perfect :)

Comment: Thanks for the bread, everyone loved it!!! Awesome swap!

Comment: Thanks for your ATC it's very pretty. For future swaps you should include the name of the ATC somewhere on the swap or envelope.

Comment: Thank you Andrea for your lovely bookmark! That really are special :)

Comment: Thank you for the box of goodies! I can tell there must be lots of good things in there if you took the time to wrap everything so carefully! (I did not wrap my gifts to my partner because I'm terrible at wrapping!) Also, thanks for the dishcloth, an added bonus!

Comment: Just a gorgeous job you did, and I will be sure it makes its way around.... It will come back to you... Hugs Pat

Comment: Thanks for the great ATC! I love it! Nancy (grannystamper)

Comment: Dear Andrea, Thanks so much for the awesome and beautiful hand-knitted scarf you sent me. I love it! It will be getting a lot of use, as I only have two space heaters in my house, and Starbuck's is always cold too. It is also one of my favorite colours. Best Wishes, Nathalie

Comment: Wonderful letter! Thanks for joining the swap!

 

Comment: THe letter was wonderful!!! I'm so glad I was officially the one you sent to--even if you didn't write it directly to me..I pretended that you did....I adored all the different things you wrote on..and you certainly do have small handwriting( and VERY east to read, I might add!) Made my letter look dull in comparison.....I will def write you a real letter back..but probably not 10 pages...lol Hug Clem for me......I would like to give you 30 HEARTS--20 Stars and a SUN and a MOON for your great and heartfelt letter......

Comment: I would love to go to a tie-dye festival, that just sounds like all sorts of awesome. Tie-dye yarn sounds awesome!!!! I love magical girl animes. They're the best. I've never read anything by Patricia A. McKillip. is there a really good book I should start with?

Comment: Your answers literally made me chuckle and giggle and smile. I really enjoy your humor. Thanks for sharing!!

 

 

 

Comment: I think it's very neat that your favorite holiday is groundhog day! I don't know many people that even consider that as a holiday.

Comment: THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I almost cried when I opened it, you really went above and beyond. Loved the owl, loved the tote, absolutely loved the note. I don't know if I ever want to join another tote swap because this will always be my favorite! Again, thank you x infinity. This really made my day. :]

Comment: I love this ATC! It's the first of its kind in my collection!

Comment: THANKS for a GREAT BIG STUFFED ENVIE ... YOU ARE GREAT!

Comment: LOL - not sure about organized, but slowly learning to be. I'm hoping to make/obtain more autumn decorations for us to put around. We pulled out the little bit we had, and it's a bit pathetic. Nice to meet you. :)

Comment: I'd love to swap beads with you, either in a swap, or a trade.

Comment: Love the ATC. It looks so awesome! You did great. Keep up the good work.
