Comment: Thank you for this great swap. I just found a stack of cards with my Halloween stash - sorry for the late rate! I can't wait to wear the earrings this year!
Comment: Wow!! You outdid yourself on this swap and it was AWESOME! You picked great cards for this hunt. The funny ones are my favorite, haha. I loved the envelope, too! Take care :)
Comment: Hi Nicole! First of all, so sorry for the delay in rating, I had a bunch of undelivered mail that I had to go pick up. Thank you so much for the lovely goodies though! I'd love to be penpals, I love connecting with library people! Send me a message if you're still interested! :)
Comment: Thank you so much for your generosity & kindness, Nicole! It was such a delightful surprise to receive SO many postcards, especially since each one seemed so perfectly suited to my likes. And of course, I will happily accept any others you would like to destash from your overflowing collection. Thank you so much again! 💛
Comment: Hi Nicole. Thanks for the tea and such a variety of stickers! You put some nice quotes in your note. I know I will love drinking the tea! Thanks again.
Comment: Thanks so much for the great postcards! Sadly the large one (the creature in the woods) got quite bent in the post -- it might be better in future to use thicker envelopes. But it's still a super image!
Comment: Thank you so much for the cute card, the lovely wish bracelet and the stickers! You are so thoughtful! I love everything! The quote you included is beautiful; I’d never seen or heard that before! I wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Comment: I have cut many shapes of recycled cardboard but not in circles for this swap. Love it and may be borrowing your idea in the future…so clever! Thank you❤️
Comment: Nicole, thank you so much for the nice card and goodies, I’m going to wear that bracelet to work tomorrow! I love how you decorated the envelope…and that sweet golden retriever sticker looks just like my sweet girl! Merry Christmas!
Comment: THANK YOU!! Your envelope was so cute and so was the card! I absolutely loved the bracelet. My daughter already tried to steal it from me. You are amazing! Take care and merry Christmas!
Comment: Wow! What a wonderful swap. You spelled trick AND treat. Each postcard is great. I love Pusheen. The crocodile illustration by Susan Seddon Boulet is beautiful. Another favorite is the turtles from Creature Comforts. The love stamps looks so good on your handmade map envelope. It's just an outstanding swap. Thank you.
Comment: Ummm....amazeballs! Maybe my very favorite swap ever!! Started with the envelope...I loved it so much I didn't even want to open it! Can you teach me? If you're lookin for snail mail pals I would love to be one!
Response: Sure! I'd love to be pals!! Would you like me to write first? ☺️
Comment: Thank you so much for the package, so much of it is tailored perfectly to me and it was such a great surprise in the mail today. I especially LOVEd the Stars & Swipes postcard. I just bought the series on Amazon. I'd never seen this one before and it's hysterical.
Comment: Everything about this package was perfect! You really went above and beyond and if i could give you more hearts I would! You made my entire day, thank you so so much❤️
Comment: Oh my gosh????!!!!! Thank you so so much for all the postcards and the tarot card!! They're all so cool and interesting and I'm so excited! I appreciate it all so much :>
Comment: OMG...you reall outdid yourself on this swap! I absolutely loved everything you sent. You could not have guessed better on what I liked! Your Halloween envelope was so cool as well! If I could give you five hearts for this, I would! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this swap. I really do appreciate it!
Comment: Thank you! It was lovely to learn more about you and I absolutely loved the extras you included!!! My boyfriend plays Magic the Gathering...a lot...so I gave him the two MTG postcards :) The stickers are great too...I also love the Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers. And yes I like King of the Hill as well :) Thank you!
Comment: Ooohhhh, my goodness! What a great postcard! And perfect for this swap. I really enjoyed looking for the items. thank you for sending it to me!
Comment: Sorry I took so long to rate. I just reread your note.It sounds like you have an interestiong job. Over this hot summer I have been reading several Several different series. Mostly young adult, sci-fi or sword and sorcery. I get them from Amazon mostly box sets at a super low price. For me they are light reading just something to do when I can't or don't want to go out.
Comment: Wow Nicole! Thank you so much for all of the beautiful postcards! Many hearts for that! ♥️♥️ I love the kitty in the catnip. We have that happen a lot around here! Oh and the envelope is stunning! Thank you again. Happy swapping! 🙂
Comment: Wow Nicole. I absolutely love the cat postcards you sent plus the extra cat PC's too. I adore the cat sticker with the cat inside the mail box and the other cat jumping on top as he sees the movement. So typical! My favorite is the cat in a suit. Love it!! Thank you for such nice happy mail. ♥️😽😺
Comment: First of all, the PC with the eye - very special as I am an optician and love pretty much most eyeball stuff! I'm glad you have good memories of your vacations with your dad - I love horses. I'm glad you were in contact with your extended family (I was not - it's kind of awkward trying to connect when you're older). My paternal grandmother has maybe 6 or 7 granddaughters named after her. ((hugs)) about your time with mom.
Comment: Thank you for all my wonderful letters, surprises, gifts, and all the amazing return address labels. Those will most certainly be put to good use! I can’t believe how many different designs you created!!! That must have taken you some time to go through my profile, find all my likes, and find images. Love them!
Comment: Nicole, I love this oversized chunk o’ cardboard (dark chocolate Whitman sampler) ! So simple but what an impact. Inspiring! I like to see what all get thru the mail service. And, I appreciate the coffee stamps💕💕💕💕💕. THANK YOU!
Comment: Thank you so much for the nice letter and all the purple goodies too! And the address labels are great! Thanks so much for spoiling me in this swap!
Comment: Thank you for the Magic the Gathering postcard, I love it! I love going to thrift stores and flea markets. My husband and I go every weekend to Arkansas, Missouri and Texas sometimes.
Comment: Thank you for the card! :-) You have an interesting and well reasoned theory, although I hope not to be born again (not without guarantees of money)!
Comment: Oh my goodness!! This envelope is full of beautiful, amazing things! Thank you so much!! 💜 I especially love this gorgeous butterfly card 🦋💚 Thank you for the wonderful letter, and I really hope the visit from the relatives wasn't too painful~
Comment: What a great ‘chunk o’ cardboard! (Cats on catnip). I’ll have to look up that set of PCs- sounds so funny! Wow - 30 pots - that must be a great effect! I too, often stray from my plan once I get to the plant nursery . Then I have to go back & back ….but your idea of planting all one type of flower got me thinking about planting/potting all different kinds of white flowers. Especially in a shady area, they’d really show up. I think I’ll try it.
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful swap! I love everything you sent 💕🐱Cat postcards, stickers, ATC, everything is so cute! Your orange cat card is cute too. Orange cat is always my favorite =) Your handwriting is pretty nice too, neat and big, very easy to read. Thank you very much 👍 💕🐱✨
Comment: Thanks so much for the postcard! A new laptop and printer sounds like something to celebrate for sure! And the internet at work finally working again is reason for a party! :) Thanks for sharing.
Comment: Thanks so much for all the goodies!! I love the stickers!! Love love the washi!! I use it to decorate envelopes so like having a good variety of it! The chicken noodle recipe is so cute! I will also try making it. Never have made from scratch. The post cards are some of my favorite now!!
My girls are spoiled and not sure what I would do with out them now. They bring me joy! Love watching them do different things.
We love our Cricut! Make so many different things!!
I hope you are feeling better! I have allergies so I understand the feeling!!
Have a great week!!
Stacey
Comment: Thanks for the postcard - my partner is actually quite a fan of Giger's works so he got a kick out of seeing the postcard. Definitely not my kind of thing though.
Comment: This may be the most beautiful postcard I've ever received! You're right though, it doesn't look exactly comfortable to live in. Thank you! This one is probably going up on the wall in our library.
Comment: Thank you for the polar bear pc and sharing about Grolar or Pizzly bears. I just saw a National Geographic show about polar bears. Beautiful but scary animals. :)
Comment: wow I have never heard of a Grolar bear. In fact how does that even happen I dont think they even live in the same place. thank you so much for the Polar bear card they look so playful. 5/5
Comment: Thank you so much for the darling PC of your cat, Vader! We have two calico kitties. One of ours is Crazy Cassie. She doesn't like to be in the house, so she stays in the garage no matter how hot or cold it gets out there. If she comes in to eat she can only stand it for about 5 minutes. Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Hello, Nicole! What a special little parcel!! You sent me postcards with rodents!! Aaaaa! <3 Thank you! (Also, your envelope is utterly gorgeous~) And I'd love to be pen pals, if you're interested! I'm not the fastest at replying, but I do love to write letters! :D If you're okay with a bit slower pen pal, you're welcome to DM me and we can decide who should write first, haha! (I think it should be my turn? ^^)
Comment: Thank you for the Tom's box chunk. I haven't tried those shoes. I wear slippers at home and chanklas (thongs) or Nike tennis shoes, mostly. I'm with you - comfort is everything.
Comment: What a nice swap, I enjoyed your letter very much and thank you for the seeds. I am currently prepping my yard and pots and can’t wait to see how these grow! Just tickled.
Comment: I understand completely about purchasing things and end up with something too good to be true!! I did that just a few weeks ago. I should have known better!! Other crafters were raving about the item! I don't get it!! 🙄🙄
Comment: Hello fellow library worker. Did you get to celebrate National Library Workers Day? We got a free lunch and snacks. Thanks for the cute postcard!
Comment: Thank you for the cute kitty PC. I wonder if they solved the mystery! Sleuth cats. Of course I'd love to receive a message about the remaining 3 cats!
Comment: Loved the PC. Interesting number of random facts. I have never watched Dr. Who, but I have seen every episode of Criminal Minds more than three times.
Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard of your sweet fur baby Jake. I am so sorry for your loss. It is the absolute hardest decision to make to let them go. I think of Apollo a lot. Just recently we rescued a new great dane in need and I feel like Apollo sent him to us to ease our pain.
Comment: Thank you for the pretty vintage postcard and info. Is this what they call a linnen pc? I can quite understand your love for the mountains -- I wish we had some here!
Comment: Thanks for the wonderful goodies! I've been working as a Library Associate for the past 14 years and I'd love to work in Tech services but they only hire librarians for that in my county. Oh well.. It sounds like you are really appreciated where you're at right now. You have my dream job.
Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely PC with cups and saucers! CPKs were cool, I was lucky enough to know the lady that did the original design that was all handmade. She made one for me and named her after my mother. I still cherish my baby doll. Does your sister do swaps also? Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: YES!! The Stand is the best book ever! That sticker you put on the PC was great. Thanks for sharing this prank. If I lived there I would be MAD!
Comment: Thanks for the card. Love the handwriting today is 4/11 and I rcvd a resend for this which I absolutely adore. I love kerakeratoppi frog made me so so happy and Beatrix potter is one u can never go wrong with. Thanks
Comment: Hi Nicole. Thank you for the awesome gifts and for sharing your quotes (and the backstory). I also loved the handmade envelope. ❤️ Amazing was his life story and his work. Fascinating.
Comment: Oh, wow ... I forgot about cannoli since I moved to Georgia. Not a popular treat compared to New Jersey but I do make cannoli dip with pizzelles as little chips. Thanks for sharing! Be well.
Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely PC! I also love Old Town Spring but we haven't been there in almost a year. We need to do that again soon. It does get pretty hot here in Texas but at least we rarely have to deal with snow. I just stay home with the air conditioner on. LOL! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: HI! I love your planned trop. Ive never been to the 145f seafood boil as theyre kinda fancy and never really have cause to go but their food looks so good. i love seafood too. Also the Cypress cove marina is a great place to stay, their little cabins are so cute. you can always see some people fishing by the lakes there. The Citrus Tower is a great spot, and probably THE MOST FAMOUS landmark here. The lobby has a great coffee shop with a bunch of orange flavored coffees. And the gift shoppe is cute too! I'll have to send you a postcard the next time i visit there! showcase of citrus is so much fun too. they have orange picking but they also have these orange slushies that are just soooo good. they give swap tours and you can see the different wildlife in the area, including the gators (dont worry they dont bother you!) Our population has defintley grown. When I first moved here in 2012, most of clermont was empty and now it seems everywhere you go theyre building more and theres more and more people everyday. Funnily enough I moved here from Steel town in Pennsylvania, Bethlehem. The Clermont Fish House is a great dinner choice. Theyre fish and chips is delicious. and outside the resturant, they have little free library. it looks like a red phone box but you can take a book and leave a book. maybe you'll find some reading material during your imaginary trip to take on your flight back! happy swapping!
Comment: Thanks for the great postcard! How cool you lived in New Bern and have visited Beaufort. We love living here and in the summer take our boat over to Carrot Island where the wild ponies are and hang out for the day. Have a great day!
Comment: Hi Nicole, I love book covers as chunks! Excellent vintage stamps. Your local post office postmark is as big as a 50 cent piece! Thank you! xo
Comment: WOW! WOW! WOW! This was a super fun swap to open, so many beautiful things! Absolutely everything you sent me is delightful. Thank you so much! And please let your mom know I love the bookmark. It brought back happy memories of things my grandmother crocheted for me when she was alive.
Comment: Thank you for the card. I really liked the quotes. Thank you for the tuck ins, especially the snow flake. We don't get snow here so it's probably the only snow flake I'll get to see 🤣
Comment: Thank you, Nicole for the nice letter on really neat stationery, the wonderful stamps on the envelope, and the generous gift of great vintage stamps. I was overwhelmed! I will have to start shopping for stamps on eBay. Thank you!
Richard
Comment: Hello! Wow! That's little pressed flower card and envie is gorgeous!!! And the seeds will go into the ground (well pots). The watercolor bunny card is beautiful! And my daughter LOVES the postcard!! I love how many sticky notes you sent me, and I really like the design! I will for sure use them.
I like your handwriting! It is round and happy! 😁 I know a lot of cleaners like the Norwex and e-cloths. I actually have not tried them yet! Usually no one cleans their phones, remotes, the outside of the cabinet right next to the toilet! No one probably still cleans that, but remotes and phones and doorknobs and light switches have been getting all the attention lately with all the disinfecting from the virus!
Thank you for all the beautiful things you sent and your thoughtfulness! 💖💐☀️
Comment: Thanks for the Toffifay chunk! Unfortunately I can't eat it - allergic to nuts. But I like chunk anyway and love that we have a lot in common. Stay safe and send lots of Happy Mail! xo
Comment: I tried to give you a heart, wishing I could give you more, but for some stupid reason, the program wouldn't let me do it. Your letter was fantastic fun to read, the pictures are awesome and the extras are delightful. This was such an enthusiastic swap bringing a much needed smile at a time like this. and you're exactly right, everyday is a Friday right now. Thank you for the awesome letter :)
Comment: Wow. Just wow! So much more than I expected! This was such a wonderful and thoughtful swap. I love EVERYTHING especially the stamps and card with envie. Thank you so very much! you've made my day!
Comment: Thank you very much for the beautiful letter! Your cursive handwriting is great! The stationary is very pretty and thanks for adding the page of pictures 🥰 I thought that was really special! I look forward to seeing you in future swaps. ❤️
Comment: Thank you so much for your wonderful notecard and the great extras! I loved getting to know you and your family better.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Diane

Comment: heart, heart, heart.
Thanks so much for the book list (great recommendations, I've read The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry and liked it a lot, and have wondered about Gaiman's book). The others I'll have to check out! And I'd love to penpal with you....if you don't mind me typing? Your envelope covered in stamps was a real treat. I've stuck it up on my wall! I'll write back in a couple of days!
Response: Sure! I would love to be penpals! Glad you liked my recommendations, books are my life. :)

Comment: Thanks for the interesting card Nicole. However, the pictures of the Christmas Crew totally stole the show and made my day. Thank You so much for sending it! The bread recipe looks awesome. Cranberry Orange is one of my favorite flavor combos. Have a great Christmas! :D
