Comment: Thank you! June- I got the second envelope today and it's so lovely. I wish I could rate you twice! Thank you for return address labels too- what a surprise. The pockets are going in my latest journal. Thank you so much!!
Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely postcard. Sorry for the delay in registering. I received it on September 20th. It got put between some letters I was to respond to.
Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für die World Postcard Day Karte!
Ich hoffe, du hast es dir bei dem Schietwetter heute gemütlich gemacht. Ich setze mich vielleicht nachher auch noch an meine Schreibmaschine, mache mir dazu einen Tee,...
Dein Profil zu lesen hat mir große Freude gemacht! Ich hoffe ich habe irgendwann nochmal das Vergnügen, dass wir Swap Partner sind.
Comment: Yay, I am so excited I got a World Postcard Day card! I have been saving one so I could just have it but this is even better! I appreciate the quote you wrote too. Have a great rest of your week!
Comment: Hi June, Thanks so much for a lovely swap and thanks for the address labels!! :) This last week the weather has been nice 80's and low humidity, from Sept 9-13 I traveled to Branson, Mo with a friend and we had a lovely time!! I would love living in a historic city. I live in a very small town of population, 1,000. Where are you going for December Holiday? Take care Hugs Donna
Comment: Many thanks for your great letter bringing me up to date, so much going on — I’m looking forward to keeping in touch, too!! Stickers were adorable, esp the kitties!
Comment: Second time's the charm, baby! God we had to work hard on this one! But we made it! Thank you so much for everything you put together for me. You obviously forgot about my diet but that's okay! Because so did I, haha. I love the bookmark you stitched for me. I don't have green fingers but I think these flowers will survive haha. And the Diddl stationary - cute, cute, cute! ♡
Comment: I♥your Interpretation, June! Just gorjuss (gorgeous)! Hahaha. :D I especially like the Gorjuss image with the envelope!!! Where did you order them? :-*
Comment: Haha, a piglet card too! Lol. I love your choices for the 2nd round, June. Didn't think of the word 'jar'. :) Very clever. I love it, when you create these multi-layered-cards!
Comment: THANK YOU! You are the type of swapped I love! The pocket letter is beautiful, I'll have to display it for a bit before I put it in a binder. And I can't wait to try the chocolate, I just hope it solidifies a bit in the fridge, it was kinda liquid... lol. A little too warm to be mailing chocolate I think... lol. But THANK YOU!
Comment: This was such a GORGEOUS pocket letter! I love the color scheme you went with and the butterflies all look so delicate. Thank you also for the goodies (that tea smells soo good!) and your sweet words about my little monsters. Happy swapping!
Comment: As always, I love it (and the kids too!) Yummy chocolate, awesome photographs, wonderful postcards, perfect little trinkets and ephemera. Thank you!
Comment: Thank you again for a beautiful pocket letter, June. I really love your style! And thank you for the wonderful goodies, I especially love the acrylic stamps! :)))
Comment: What a fun package!! (Do i always begim like that? It's always the first thing i think when i open your parcels!) love it ALL... But the mittens are my favorite. :-)
(Your package travels to and from work each day. One day it will make it to the post office!!)
Comment: Absolutely great June!!! I love your beautiful pocket letter and it even has some of my favourite quotes! :-) Everytime I read a letter from you, it makes me grin!!! And awesome goodies again!!! Will reply to your letter with my pocket letter! :-*
Comment: This was supposed to be a flat easily mailed bookmark!!!! I LOVE all my candy. Those multi colored ritters...Oh my those little critters are TOO CUTE! (one was immediately eaten... I couldn't help myself. Also a little milka and mini gummy bears... plus the milka I just had for BREAKFAST... but who's counting??) And ooh my gloriously large bag of the special specials I love mmmmm!!!!!! Plus, you know, the BOOKMARK, point of the swap, is lovely. :)
Comment: Awesome pocket letter, thank you June! We loved your letter! :-) This will be our first pocket letter in our collection. We could see, that this was made with love and we especially loved the 3D-effects! We can't wait for the next one!!! *g*
Comment: Oh my goodness! I feel like I should send you more and better quality stuff. Yes, 5 euros was our agreed approximate value, but you went way over it while what I sent was probably worth way less... The yarn is pretty and I'm already thinking up scarves, and the tropical Skittles were all new to me, very tasty! And the colours match, haha! I think I must send you something more to make this fair... :)
Comment: Thank you for hosting such a fun swap and for the wonderful pocket letter you sent. I love the quotes and the different ways you put them into the pockets! Woot woot to a fellow 13th Warrior fan! = P Please let me know how you like Dogs of Babel!!! Also if you like urban fantasy have you read the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs? Or there is a new series with the first book called Trailer Park Fae that I read a few months ago that is also super sweet. = ) Thank you again so much!
Comment: Thank you soooo much for the very lovely package! I really like everything you have chosen. It is nice to get maltesers for a change. Yammy!! I taste that tea definitely today. :)
And yes, it would be nice to do another swap with you again. Have a great week! I hope you get my package soon as well.
Comment: You've a new title, well-earned: Head Easter Bunny! Many thanks for all the fun things you sent, came just in time for me to get ready for Easter, too. Sent you message to gush in private lol
Comment: So it turns out orange really is my favorite color... I opened the box and crooned happiness. All that lovely orange staring back at me! Immediately ate the chocolate bar (with my kids, though) and polished my nails :-) Ellis is going to endure having her nails scrubbed now so much more happily with the little bear brush! And a whole box of tea!!! Everything is SO NICE and thoughtful, thank you! Off to write something orange now :-)
Comment: You are so very clever June! The little foldout was brilliant and so many of the quotes had me nodding along! Love it .. it's going straight in my commonplace book! Thanks so much! xx
Comment: Well, you managed to make 4 people very happy. I love the books (your bookmark now marks my place in one of the books)!!! You-know-who almost shut up about the Kitkats, almost, he now wants more *sight* and I don't think my sister has ever seen this much tea at once, she should be good for the next 140 days (starting March 25th), lol. And lastly, my youngest who took liking to the pencil case. The color matches her walls perfectly, I bet that was what you had in mind all along.. ;)
Comment: Haven't seen these cards before and especially like the one with road trip and jalopy's on it! Thanks for sharing and the postage stamps on the envelope and the self-made card-very nice indeed!
Comment: Thank you!!! Received them in the mail today. Two bars of them are already gone, my family had so much joy savouring such chocolates that can't be bought here. Thanks for your generosity :).
Comment: Hello June :) I was completely overwhelmed with joy to receive the package from you. I can't even begin to describe how I felt. !!!! You have been truly generous, and as a thank you from me, I'm sending you another surprise package . Please don't send anything in return as I'm sending as a thank you ode :)) I shall also include a card which I create using the stamps you've sent. Last but not the least, I'm thankful for you for sending me the extras, a cute handwritten note and nice packaging :) â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ I can't wait to go shopping for you. Many greetings,
Jayana. From India.
Comment: Oh, perfect!! The gloves are so soft... And I love the color, and the little buttons. Fit perfectly, too! (I really love gloves! Yay!!!) I am really excited to have a red fountain pen (in which to put my red fountain pen refills... How convenient! Almost... As if it had been planned... ;) the notepad is so cute!!!! I didn't need to make a call but DID take a photo of myself inside one in London, PRETENDING to make a call. I've never had enough glue sticks, and you already know I LOVE the pens!! Thank you for such a thoughtful, and delightfully pretty, red parcel :-)
Comment: Thank you sooooo much for this awesome package with extras :) I love everything and can't wait to try the chocolates! If I could give you more than one heart I would!!!!
Comment: Thank you dear for an amazing package! :) I´ve never got such a wonderful and stylish wrapping! :) I didn´t feel like opening it but look at it! I loved everything you´ve sent, thank you for an effort because it´s really a special gift!
Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful envie and the cards :) One of the birdie cards is already travelling with Christmas greetings. Have wonderful weekend and a merry Christmas time!
Comment: Gorgeous wrapping and stunning stuff from what I've legit seen so far lol, I'll be swooning later ... swooning will last a very, very long time ... many thanks to you and Merry Christmas, love our traditions, too!
Comment: I got your swap and it already made me smile before I even open the box! Thank you so much for the lovely christmas swap that you sent me. The Adventskalender brought me great memories from Germany and my entire family loved it :) I also enjoyed reading your letter - the best part of the swap in my opinion. I'm very happy to know about your christmas traditions and to receive such a beautiful christmas card. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!! :)
Comment: Hello devilspigeonhole (June from Germany). I got your parcel today, so fast!! ;) Thank you so much for the multi-coloured pencil, 10 airmail envelopes and 11 tea bags. I love the winter-themed postage stamps! So nicely wrapped with Dymo® labels and in love with the "Fur Dich" = "to you" card. It´s always a pleasure to swap with you! Thank you so much, maria das trouxas
Comment: Love the assortment of the cross stitch kits you have enclosed and how that some of them can be transformed into other things like cards too. Thanks for the delightful swap!
Comment: PUUUUURRRRRPLLLLLE!!!! Thank you for the wonderful purply wrapped package... How fun! I've already had TWO of the teas! And i LOVE those pens... Was really excited to get a few more colors!! The magnet is on my fridge... And what cool eraser!! I've never seen anything like that. Thank you again for such a fun swap. (Mark looked at my tea tin and said something like You ladies are going all out huh??)
Comment: Best. Christmas. Decoration. Ever. Oh my gosh i love this idea. Let's definitely do the bowl again next year!!!! I piled mine on a cake plate and it's so lovely and festive!!!
Comment: Love! And yay to the bear having a name--and it is a great one. :) How awesome of your family to get involved--thanks to them and you for such an awesome swap!
Comment: OMG!! Alert! Chocolate overdose!! hahaha Thank you SOOOO much for the swap!! I really love the items you sent me, specially the chocolates! - and you sent me a lot of them!!! Also thanks for sending me the lebkuchen and the other stuff, those colourful pens are very beautiful <3 Thank you thank you thank you, June. You are awesome!! Your packages always bring me back the happy time when I lived in Germany :) Many hugs!!
Comment: What a lovely package!! Makeup, chocolate, and the soft beautiful scarf... What more could a girl want?? Perked me right up! Thank you so much, i appreciate everything. In fact i may use the bath salts today... I'm totally icky after my illness and need a nice leisurely chocolatey soak! It was all wrapped so sweetly, too... I loved it!! My little tape maker broke, so i removed the "brown paper packages" strips you had applied and might just use them on YOURS :-)
Comment: I can't even think what i liked best. It was so fun opening every little package. The three green pens were a surprise! And the ink! The zippered pouch made me laugh. :-) And I'm so happy to have a partner for the cupcake stand haha!! I wont mention the postally questionable mumblemumblemumble which i loved. Actually I think i already messaged you about everything so i will just leave it at AWESOME SMILEY PARCEL once again. You made my day.
Comment: Well. One heart is just ridiculous, and we both know it. I received BOTH blue parcels this afternoon... And squealed with delight as item after item after item found its way into my greedy little hands. (So many blue gummy bears!!!) Everything is amazing, (i put hand cream on, ate an Eiffel tower, put my new coasters on the table in my bedroom (perfect!)...) but the Paris stuff (especially the zippered bag, but really everything) stole my heart! (Wait i did scream NAIL POLISH!!! at one point, making my husband jump....) Humongous thank yous!!!!
Comment: 16 hearts, not one. And i can't believe you keep swapping with me, you must think I am so ungrateful when you have to ASK if it arrived???!!! I loved this yellow package... I found it on the step one night very late after a crazy long day at work. It was such a happy thing to come home to! That Ritter is AMAZING. I would never have guessed corn flakes could be turned into that. (It's gone, btw) I've been saving my gummy-wonderfuls to make them last haha. And those fruity mentos... Mmmm!!!! The hand cream is perfect for my purse (and smells so light and good), and the coasters are in use in my room. Yellow office supplies... Yay!!! Glue stick (well consider that much appreciated), double sided tape (yes!), pens, (who doesn't love PENS????), and my favorite... The colored envelopes!!! (I love love love yellow!)... But the cupcake stand... I laughed. And laughed. It's SO CUTE. I am going to make cupcakes for me and ellis just so we can use it at our next tea party. I'll try to remember to send a picture. Thank you, it was all so fun and such a nice thing to come home to after work! :-)
Comment: Oh June!!! If I could give you 10 hearts I would. Your end of the swap was just fantastic. Wow. Completely blown away by this. I loved everything you included but I think my favorite was the teeny, tiny, envelope that your letter to me was in. It is so cute!! Of course I love miniatures, so that may have something to do with it. Thank you so much & please let me know when my end arrives ok? Hugs, Susan ♥
Comment: Oooh I love all the pink goodies. Favorite?? Hmm... Favorite... Blingy scissors?? WASHI TAPE (yeah, that's it!) wait... envelopes?? Tic tacs! No no it's the fountain pen ink I LOVE THAT STUFF! Oh shoot, I dunno. I like it all. I opened the sephora cube and katie called out DONT EAT THAT!!! (She knows me so well heh heh) Thank you. And I'm saving the tissue :-)
Comment: Did you hear the kids' squeals? Definitely loud enough! :)
They loved this package, especially Olaf! And the chocolate. Thank you, once again!
Comment: Thank you for the package! I am always so happy with your work - you are so talented! The mug rug is great! I know your machine gave you some trouble but thanks for sticking with it! The little biscornu is awesome, I've never seen anything like it! The chocolate is great too, it's not going to last too long around my pregnant self! Haha.
Comment: The book you chose (heart shaped box for anyone wondering) will give me many sleepless nights (because obviously there's going to be spirits everywhere, in the book, the hallway, under my bed...) The bookmark is adorable, I love the pattern! And your stitching is so neat! The chocolate was good and the blackcurrant mix even better! ;D I will do another one of these swaps with you anytime! Thanks for wow'ing me once again! :D
Comment: Thank you very much I absolutely adore everything! It was really wonderful to come home to your package and I really appreciate your taking the time to wrap everything individually-it made it feel extra special! Thank you again :)
Comment: Dear June, I received your package today and it made my day! Lovely items and great tea,one of my favorite flavours! I also loved your nautical themed envelope and writing paper-so beautiful and inspiring, I realized how I miss beach and sunny days when I opened it;) and thanks a lot for a great letter,it was a pleasure to read about your love story and life in Bavaria!
Comment: TRES MAGNIFIQUE!! Of course, a very detailed private message will be coming your way soon!!
--- Updated: April 30, 2015: was looking back at this swap and noticed the heart I'd put in rating months ago didn't "stick!!" So sorry! It's in the rating now
Comment: Oh so much stuff!!! The gummy bears are gone. Well not entirely but almost :-) i pretty much took a bite of everything (the wunderbar was nicely frosty again!!) Thank you for such a lovely package!!! You sent way too much (is that e complaining??? No, no it isn't) and I love it all BUT the ATC is The Best!!! Funny too because i just had a fight about that!!! :-)
Thank you again... Your packages are the best most awesome ever.
Comment: Awwww thank you!! What a great parcel... I apologize for not rating the day it arrived. I have no excuse. But know that it really brightened an otherwise crap week!!! Ps the ATC is BEAUTIFUL!
Comment: I got two great swaps today and one was from you! I suspect you are on a mission to fatten me up and then eat me, therefor I am going into hiding! No, all jokes aside. You made me so happy once again, thank you for another wunderbar swap!
Comment: Oh my goodness you were right!! This one blind sided me!! (In a good way) BEST. PACKAGE. EVER. Everything was packaged so prettily, i thought i should save it for Christmas or my birthday!! But i didn't :-) instead, i spent the evening writing in pink and eating my favorite candies!!!! :-) woohoo!!! (Okay it sounds silly in writing but it was AWESOME!! And perfect timing. I was having a bad evening and this package turned it around) Thank you so much!
Comment: I say to hell with my diet! I need more! I especially liked the peanut butter KitKat, sooo good! The Christmas card is beautiful! I will hire you next year to do ours, hehe. And I l.o.v.e the angel patterns you included, and the small angel ornament! It has its own little place already. Just think how wrong I was about DHL! It got here faster than my package to you! I wont believe a word my husband says again, haha. THANK YOU! And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ♡ (you deserve an extra heart, hehe)
Comment: WoW. What a surprise. I just love the swap. Thanks a lot for everything that you chose for me. Each an everything made me smile. Amazing package and neatly packed. Thanks again June. You made my day:) have a great great day. Wish u all the happiness
Comment: You packaged this swap so special. I love the envelope, note card, note and airmail labels from Germany and other countries. Thank you so very much for this lovely swap.
Comment: Hello June! This envelope was perfect with your lovely letter and the enclosures, so I love it and thanks so much! These are the cutest adcards I've ever seen! :)
Merry Christmas :)
Comment: Your mail looks so awesome!!! I almost didn't want to rip it open! Anyhow, thank you for the beautifully packaged mail and the labels! Hope you enjoy this swap! ^^
Comment: Thanks for the great swap. I love the armadillo on your letter and the stamps you sent. The envelope was great too especially the stamp on the back about Batman!
Comment: I am embarrassed....such a gorgeos swap: everything you touched is stylish, designed, chosen and made with care. I love that. I do not have enough English words for the beautiful Japanese paper and fabric, thank you very much, one heart can be so insulting ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Comment: Thank you for the gorgeous letter...I shall treasure it...surely. And thank you for the wonderful stamps! And not to overlook the fab envie! Love it all!!! xox
Comment: I found another package in my mailbox today. You went a "tad" overboard with this swap? I'd say so :D Thank you for this swap too. I will be sending you a surprise item, like it or not!!
Comment: I don't know how to thank you for the teas! For a person who is a stranger to the tea shelves you did a really good (although you did know what you were looking for, haha) Tea education is really important I've heard ;) Thank you for the extras too AND for a very successful swap!
Comment: The envelope ♥, your personal beautiful typed letter on calque paper ♥ the Japanese stamps ♥ (5 new ones ♥), what can I say: a dream swap ♥ thank you very much.
Comment: June this was a wonderful swap to receive, thank you so much. I love the way you decorated the envie with Halloween washi and the card is gorgeous. The extras were so great as well, I love it. Extra hearts: <3 <3 <3
Comment: Thanks so much for the two packages! The candy and chocolate are great! You spoiled me so much I think they'll last me till Halloween! The Toblerone is great, they are actually really expensive here. I look forward to reading the book, looks good! The quilt project is wonderful, thank you! Hope you receive my package soon. Always a pleasure swapping with you.
Comment: Are you kidding June!?! I LOVE it when you are my partner, I want you to be my partner for every swap. And YAY! Some swap-bot swag! I wanted some so bad! I'm going to spread the word with these guys to some of my "real life" friends. Thank you so much. And I love the envelope too- it was another one I had tho slice open to save the goodness. Did you make your return address label? It's awesome!
Comment: Thank you so much for a great mail-art envelope! I love the Air-Mail-goodies you sent! And yes: summer lost his spirit here, too... But nevertheless: have a great weekend!!
Comment: Wow, it makes me so happy to find a fellow "airmail" fanatic! Loved the envelope and all the airmail goodies, the airmail envies are amazing, wow!I will take good care of your vintage pages but eventually they will be used in my artwork!
Comment: June! You have the best stuff! So much classic style. The envelope is lovely. I had to slice off a teeny bit of the side to get inside without damaging it, it's going right on my inspiration board! And I love Mr Zip too! Thank you so much for the wonderful address labels and stickers! I just bought a few mail themed rubber stamps from someone on Fiverr (from snail clip art I found) 3 stamps for $11 including shipping. It was only a few days ago, if they turn out well I will let you know- it's always nice to find an affordable place to get mail art supplies. Thanks for hosting these swaps and the commiseration on sometimes hosting something not a lot of people are interested in. I just feel it makes me more unique, I'm into something special if no one wants to join my fun. Enough of my novel, thanks again!
Comment: FROOOOOOOOOTY MMMMMM. :-) sarah is here as i open it... She loves the strawberry (i may have to "share" it with her. And we both are enjoying the super cool gummy bears!!!! :-) i haven't tried the other candies yet... I opened the gummy bears before i opened the note, so was pleased that the note didn't say something like "Don't eat these, but aren't they cool looking??" I LOVE the little envies!!! Atc sized, if I'm not mistaken? But so perfect for loads of other things! And the labels! <3
Perfect! Just remember.... YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!
Comment: Hello June!! (I'm reading -and enjoying a book in which the protagonist's name is June, how cool is that) :) Thanks so muchhh for the great art mail you sent, really love the circles (I did circles aswell on my mail art for this project), and I treasure the pages you sent, because they're a true treasure :) Thanks again! And sorry I'm late rating you as I was away :) Cheers!
Comment: Wow! Wow! WOW! Thank you so much! I just picked up your package and you sent SO MANY goodies! I love them all. Thank you. (I already ate some gummies and chocolate.) It all arrived in perfect shape. I know you spent more than our $10 requirement, so I hope you like what I sent as well... your package is in the mail now. I hope it arrives quickly! Happy happy swapping. xoxo
Comment: Great airmail envie w/ aeroplane stickers and quill pen stationery. Yummy recipe me to make and share with my German friend. Enjoyed the color brochures and pc of your amazing city. Thank you so much for the person letter.
Comment: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your package came on a perfect day--I was in major need of cheering up. The pictures are wonderful, the kids love the candy and that 3D map is awesome! Thanks so much!
Comment: June, your card is beautiful! I would have never noticed the slight bubbling if you hadn't pointed it out. Is the blue stenciled bit just acrylic paint? I love how much texture it has. The whole thing is so awesome, I love haw vibrant it is, and the feather background, the movement it seems to have and the different patterns.... So so so good! This one is going on my inspiration board. Love!
Comment: I got the huge parcel you sent me... the papers are super duper awesome.. One heart here is totally not enough... thank you so much for doing this swap with me... Hope to swap with you again.. :)
Comment: HOW DID YOU KNOW I WANTED THOSE SEALS??? (Wait-did i tell you?) anyway, i LOVE them and you know i needed the kraft envies!! And... My typewriter arrived today!! So i can use the new labels!! Yay!!! Thank you so much for a lovely swap. (Ps my first thought was SHE SENT ME A VW VAN!!!!! Heh heh)
Comment: I got your package and I LOVE LOVE everything... Wish I could give you more than one heart... The papers were gorgeous... Thank You so much for doing this swap with me... Hope to swap with you again... :D
Comment: Wow what a beautiful envelope! I have to step up my security envie art a bit... This one looks like it was professionally produced that way. Oh my gosh your typewriter stamps (and keys) are adorable. Thank you for the goodies inside, too. I love the tidy way you always separate and label them!!! :-)
Comment: Hi! Thank you so much for the great envelope! It's gorgeous and I've never seen a bag like THAT before. It's great. Thank you for the extra paper inside and the address labels. Funny, I almost didn't notice the printed note because it looked like more of the perfect lettering on the bag! Ha ha ha! Just great! XOXO
Comment: Hearts all the way! :) The gecko is perfect--I'm betting that it'll be Crew's favorite. The pictures, descriptions, candy, postcards, and ephemera are awesome. Thank you so much!!
Comment: Thank you for sending an airmail themed swap. I loved everything and I'm grateful for the envelopes you included. I hope you are able to enjoy more sunny days.
Comment: I love the harley davidson envelope you made. Thanks so much for making something that I like. That was very thoughtful. I will definitely use the airmail items. Thank you so much!
Comment: I love it!!! No joking... It's beautiful. See how simple they are??
I loved the envie you made for it too AND the envelope for the swap. AND the card!!! Nicely done. (And it showed me i could use a printed paper to type my labels... Great idea! I'm not as natural to beautiful envelopes as you are!)
My only criticism would be... (I had to come back because i couldnt think of one right off and you wanted feedback...) Don't seal the tiny envie you make for the card. I tore it a bit opening it. :-) just use a square of washi or something. But i LOVE the little envie... You make them the perfect size!! Always include them. It looks so finished!
Comment: Awwww... That was really sweet! And well done... I love it! The little opaque envie was a nice touch, too!!
Good job!! I know i was supposed to rate you on the other one first since it was practice... I waited a couple days but it hasn't arrived yet and I'll forget to rate this one if i wait too long!!!!
Comment: I love the envelope and the stamps and color - and the postmark on the back, just makes it better. :-) I haven't figured out mail sometimes, but this one was definitely snail mail and well worth the wait. The typed letter on that stationery was perfect and the notes are greatly appreciated and will make a nice addition. Thank you very much! :-)
Comment: I wish i could grant special Awesome-blossom hearts... Your awesomeness to me is so much awesomer than my awesomeness to you!!! I am seated here surrounded by tissue and candy and handmade goodies and more and more candy. I dove into the curly wurlies like a madwoman and worked my way out of the pile of Awesome through a path of varied gummies, leaving wreckage and devastation behind me. I am in the middle of a diet journal swap which has so far been a flop. And now todays entry will read: "received a parcel. Can't remember anything else"
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!
Comment: Hello, fun partner! My magnificent package of Easter goodies from you got here in perfect shape and in perfect time!! Further, in the name of research (yes, I said that), I have sampled ALL the edibles and am pleased to report that they are delicious! Pen is very fun and thanks for the colored cartridges, too -- Happy Easter!!
Comment: Thank you so much!! I love the pictures you took--they're perfect, along with the little note with each. The kids will love the chocolate--I'll ask very nicely ;)--and stickers. The ephemera you sent is perfect for the scrapbook. Thanks again!!
Comment: Hi, June! I got your lovely package today in the mail and it really made me smile. Thank you so much for everything, you are very kind! I'm so happy to get a swap from Regensburg, I miss that city. The chocolates will definitely be eaten during Easter. I loved all the pens that you sent me and the cosmetics from Nivea and Bebe (the little pink case is adorable), thank you!! The wrapping was beautiful btw! xxxxxx
Comment: Thank you so much June! I really always need labels and the ones you made for me are so cute! :) Love the stamps as well, I feel like I have the whole stamp series now!
Comment: Dear June, you really scored with your beautiful card and envelope :) Thank you so much for putting so much attention into it, I love it! Wishing you a lovely weekend, Aline
Comment: Basket of Awesome!!! Thank you so much... I'm trying desperately to save SOME of the gummy bears but they are my favorite (as you know) so i give them another hour. The hazelnut bunnies have melted and Mark said 'Put them in the fridge' as i looked up with glassy eyes and hazelnutty lips and fingers. Too late. And why would i?? Yummy just the way they arrived! (Okay i only licked one, the rest i will savor after theyve hardened back up). Thank you, you went way above!! I hope you won't be disappointed by mine... It's such a tiny little bit! Add the whitman's to it!!
Comment: Thanks for doing a private swap. I am so happy with all the haribo, its always nice to try new ones! Thank you! I hope your package arrives soon as well.
Comment: Oh mon dieu!! What a fantastic breath of spring air came my way, I could almost smell the daffodils and definitely could taste the Easter candy, how is it that you are able to constantly out-do yourself? You set the bar very, very high!! Look for private message ... =^oo^=
Comment: this is one of the nicest envelopes I've received..and certainly stamped with my favorite images! the stamps were so nice as well..but those gorgeous silver seals...I love them! thank you so much and thanks for a most interesting note....
Comment: Thank you very much for the books!! Can't wait to teach my little one (and myself) some German! The books are so colourful and fun, they will be cherished for years. Thank you for the yummy chocolate and Happy Easter to you too. I look forward to putting your package together for you in April.
Comment: thank you so much for the lovely package! it arrived safely and well this time and it's gorgeous! :) the sticks in chocolate are brilliant! i haven't eaten something like this before and i have to admit, they're just perfectly delicious! =) thanks a lot!! ♥
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful handmade Mug Rug, Chocolates & letter! I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into the mail you send me :)
Comment: Thank you, again, for the awesome mail! The address labels are great and I loved the typewriter written letter that you enclosed. :) Happy, happy mail!
Comment: What a lovely letter, thank you! I love hearing about how people came to Swap Bot, and I'm glad you found that there's a wide variety being read in the group :)
Comment: Wow! You really went above and beyond on this swap. Thank you so much! Shoots...I should have sent you more ephemera. I look forward to any other private swaps you might like to do. Have a great weekend!
Comment: .First off, I really loved your envie, and second, thank you for the fabulous book mark. I am glad you were able to get one for me with the German Flag on it also. Thank you so much.
Comment: Today I was woken up in the best way possible - a mailwoman rang my door bell at 8:11, I jumped, ran to the door in my pjs, and she handed me this huge package from Germany..!! All of a sudden I was wide awake, trying unsuccessfully to keep myself from tearing all apart and seeing what's inside. I got myself a cup of tea and started the adoration of the contents process... :D I love all what you've included - all the cool, thoughtful, cute, delicious and plain awesome stuff! You're the best for adding a disposable camera, too!! I already had your photos done, they turned out great, actually. ;) It was fun to walk around Regensburg, it's a beautiful city. As I can see you got blessed with some sunny days there, too (which is something what will lack in my photos to you - sorry!). Anyway, you so made my day! Thank you! ♥ I'll have to try my best with your package, keep waiting a little bit more. :) Bis bald!
Comment: Hi June! I THANK YOU SO MUCH for your lovely winterpostcard, your extras AND the gorgeous envie! Would love to give more than a 5 with heart. .....My first mailart-envelope. You really made my day. And YES I would love to swap again with you.
Comment: When I saw your parcel in my mailbox I was instantly itching to open it, because it was just so pretty! Thank you so much for the chocolate and the booklet about Regensburg, and the free history lesson - I haven't actually read it yet as I want to keep it a surprise, but I can't wait to! I'm taking the photos to be developed as soon as possible and I'll let you know how the photos came out when I get them back :) Thanks again!!
Comment: Awesome mail day! I'm the luckiest swapper around, having received your terrific mail art. And the stamps you used - a perfect bouquet to counter today's stormy weather. What an imaginative envelope. Brava! Not to mention the wonderful ephemera you sent - very cool stuff that I'm really excited to use in my own mail art. Many, many thanks!
Comment: Thank you for the great envie! I love the snails dragging along the mail box and the south africa stamps! I also love the bird tags, the colors are just perfect!
Comment: Thank you for the fabulous swap! :-) I really enjoyed your note. Geocaching is a strangely addicting hobby and I really enjoy it. However, I don't do nearly as much when there is so much snow like there is now! :-) The envelope and the little one inside were great... along with some fabulous stamps that I didn't have! Thank you, again! :-)
Comment: what a wondergul package!! ♥ thanks a lot! :) the address labels are adorable, i'm using them already ;) what do you think about a candy swap the next time? ;)
Comment: AWESOME envelope! Loved the pencil print of the handmade envelope, the monogrammed "K" you affixed and he paper doilies...Just a neat and fun envelope to receive! And then I opened it and found a lovely notecard and Ernie the Envelope mailing labels. Thank you so much, June! You made my day!
Comment: Thank you sooooo much for all of the beautiful things!! Wow why on Earth were you worried?!
You are a sweetheart for sending me things for the swap (that I hosted none-the-less) that I was flaked on. That was a sweet idea!
I absolutely LOVE the souvenir sheets and stamps that you sent me! They will be going in my stamp book asap! I will be sharing the doubles with my aunt (as she was the one that got me into stamp collecting and she gets me stamps from her travels, and I her from my travels and swaps)... Also love all of the deco tape you sent!!
Colleen

Please pm me if you're still up for it :-)

Comment: Merry Christmas! Such a wonderful letter and card. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy letterboxing as much as I do. You can keep a beautiful journal to stamp in found carvings. Geocaching not my thing but the hunt for boxes.

Comment: Oh wow - this bag is just perfect, thank you so much! :D It's just the right size, and the handles are just the right length - and of course the pouch to go inside (with extra pocket!) is equally awesome.

I feel very lucky & will definitely be using this as my work-bag today! :) (Edited because the heart didn't stick on first attempt.)

Comment: Ahhhhhh!! XD Made my weekend :D Love it all, funnily enough I've been wanting a cute money box for ages and the pop up blotting paper, what can I say but that'll have me entertained for hours :) Perfection as always my lovely <3 xxx
Comment: Gosh, they really need to consider giving us the option to rate more hearts, 'cause if they did I'd give you a million hearts! Once again I received such an AMAZING parcel! When I saw the size of it I looked like this :OOOOO! It was so much fun opening all the little gifts and loving every single bit of it! :D I already ate most of the chocolate (my sister helped...)!

Comment: Thank you so much June for the great air mail envelopes. I like them very much!!!
