Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! But I have to say that the one "advantage" of being so sick was days and days in bed. Once I was well enough to do something other than just lie there, I piled my goodies all over the bedspread and played Swap-bot, lol! Smiling really big now!
Response: I'm so glad you like them--knowing that truly makes my day! Thanks for the Heart and for the compliment, too! :o)

Response: Happy dancing! I'm so glad you liked what I sent!
Response: Happy dance! I LOVE stickers, and accumulate them like the snowflakes that swamped us, so I use swaps for, "Oooh. I'll send this. And those, and That," because it keeps them from taking over my craft room, lol. Yes, the weather here has been amazing--biggest snow event in 40 years. I'm glad it's over, but kind of miss the beauty of it, too.

Response: No worries--seems like I'm late with my own ratings all the time! And I can be so absentminded, I'm usually thinking, "I got a Rating? What did I send?" Anyway, I glad you liked the Zen!! (It IS cool to be 'neighbors', isn't it?)
Response: I'm so glad! I really had a hard time giving it up, lol. I've made myself another with a pompom yarn, but the fur is just c-a-l-l-i-n-gggg, so I guess I'll be making more. Thanks for doing the swap, cuz now I know how!

http://thinkcrafts.com/blog/2011/05/19/a-flight-of-butterflies/

Response: Thank you so much! The garland was fun to make, and I'm really glad you liked it, and the rest, too! =o)
Response: I'm so glad you like it! And it was really easy to crochet--just use a big needle and keep your stitches loose. Honestly? The hard part was doing the strips. Don't go narrower than 3/8-1/2 inch if you tear it, or they break, but cutting you can go as narrow as you like. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for the Heart!
Response: I'm so glad! And very appreciative of your patience, too!
Response: I'm absolutely delighted that you like it!
Response: YAY! Thank you!

Response: You are very, very welcome! So glad you liked it/them!
Response: Oh, I'm glad! And I had so much fun, I actually altered another pair a different way the very next day. Thanks for creating the swap!
Response: I'm so glad you like the bag and patterns. (I think if you're afraid to use it you should do something to dirty it up, lose a few sequins, etc. so it won't be so fancy.. Then it will use be, "Oh, this old thing?", lol!)
Response: Oh, YAY!! I'm so glad you like it! I am going to smile myself to sleep tonight. =o )
Response: I'm so glad! Glad you liked the packaging, too; I was bound and determined they weren't going to get squished before they got to you, lol.
Response: I'm so glad! Honestly, I just had the Best time making her, and can't wait to do another. Re Your Questions: I drew the face using an ink pen, and extra-fine sharpie, and then colored the features with fabric crayons. The squiggly dangle I got in a wire-wrapped charm swap, to which I added the bottom element.
I'm smiling so big, knowing you love the doll!
Response: YAY! so glad you liked it!
Response: I'm glad you like it! I got one for me, too, and smile every time I look at the chair it's perched on. =o)
Response: Oh, I'm so glad! I had such pleasure creating the ATC, and then stuffing the envelope with things I thought you might like. The bit of ribbon with the little guy on it I picked up recently at an estate sale. It had Swap-bot goodie written All over it.Thank you for a lovely comment. I'm all smiles, reading it!
Response: Nicki, I'm so glad you liked them, and so grateful for your sweet spirit!
Response: You're welcome, and then some! I'm delighted you like what I sent. =^)

Response: I'm so glad! I made myself a pair of earrings, too, and even my husband thinks they're really cool. I'm tickled that you like my website and the Coffee Pot People, too--THANK YOU!
Response: I'm so glad! (Not that you feel inadequate, which you absolutely should Not, but that you like what I sent!) Smiling....
Response: I'm just very glad you liked it! Smiling big here.
Response: Oh, I'm SO GLAD!! Yay! I'm smiling all the way across my face.

Response: See me: I've got a huge smile on my face! So glad you like what I sent!
Response: I'm so glad you like what I sent!! (And thank you about my name--I think my folks did a great job naming me!)
Response: I'm so glad you like them!
Response: Oh, wow. I'm going to break my face smiling about this! I actually didn't do a second one cuz I thought, "Oh, dear. I don't think I'm going to be any good at this." Now I'll go back to it, thanks to your praise. And that I will keep in my heart forever.
Response: Smiling all the way across my face! So glad you like your chunky and the earrings!
Response: YES! I love it when I get it right!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! Yay!

So glad you liked the ribbons and card!
Response: You are so good, and SO PATIENT!! And I'm thrilled that you like them!!!
Response: YAY!!! I'm so glad you like it. It was a pleasure to work on it, and try to incorporate the colors and style I hoped you'd enjoy receiving. Smiling hugely right now!
Response: Oh, how funny, and exactly the kind of coincidence I love! So glad you liked what I sent. (If you do something with the box, I'd love to see a photo!)
Response: You're welcome! =oD
Response: Hi, Nanna, and thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked them!
I got the sleeves on eBay. They're advertised as both sports card sleeves and ATC sleeves, so I'm thinking if you have a place nearby that sells baseball cards you could get them there, too. For larger sleeves, I go to Arvey Paper, here in town. I think they have a web presence, though.
Response: Merry Christmas! It gives me a huge smile to know you liked the bookmark!
Technique: I got the image from an old cookbook, scanned it in, and printed it on textured paper. Then I used crayons to color parts of it. The backing I chose for its vintage look and the fact that it would fray easily, then unraveled some top and bottom. Sometimes I sew the back to the front, sometimes (if the fabric won't show it) I use glue, and sometimes (yours), I use double-sticky tape. Easy peasy! Hope you get pleasure from making some of your own! (And if you want, I can send you additional cooking strip jpgs--just PM me. =^D )
Response: I'm so glad you liked the ornament, and want to try making your own! I have a tutorial for it on ThinkCrafts, if you'd like instructions:
http://thinkcrafts.com/blog/2010/12/22/quick-handmade-ornament/
Response: I'm so glad you liked them, and also that they gave you a lift when you needed it! Yay!
Response: I'm so glad, and you're Very welcome!
Response: I'm so glad! (And they got to you QUICK! Wow.)
Response: Lol, and I didn't think of clear mailing labels!
I'm really glad you liked the card!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I have to confess I put the techniques on because, to me, it looked too much like I'd just printed a picture, even though the Photoshopping part had taken quite a long time, lol,.But I do like it when others do that, because I learn new ways to do things, and as new as I am to the art form, I need all the hints I can get!
Response: Glad you like it, Vicky! The pictures are actually from a book of prize-winning scenic photography, so while I hadn't actually bought postcards, I was pretty sure the photos had been turned into them.
Response: Oh, that's so cool about the book! I'm really glad you like the goodies!
Response: I'm glad you like them, and hope you can use or regift them yourself. I thought the towels were adorable, but they just did not go with my kitchen at all, and I never took them out of the drawer after they were given to me. Hope they do go with yours!
Response: Hi, Sharon! Sorry to take so long to respond, but I'm still figuring Swap-Bot out and didn't actually realize I could until just now. =oP
I'm so glad you liked the postcard and it made you laugh!
Yes to Etsy's being slow, but I confess I've not been very active lately.
Thanks for Hearting me. I'm smiling really BIG.
Anitra
Response: It's such a beautiful place. I'd love to go there again, just to sit and look. I Think there's a hiking trail there, too, along the cliffside, and I'd love to walk it.
Big hugs back!
Anitra
