Comment: Thank you for your beautiful Inkbox card and extras! That bookshop you wrote about sounds amazing. I wish to have such a shop in the near too. Or maybe it's better not to have one in the near ;-)

Comment: Thank you for all your attemps at this swap! I like the final result. I think I may use it i a card or even an ATC? Not sure just yet. Like you I dont use the score board often for a design on my papers but I did enjoy giving this a try as you did. Hope your holidays are very special and resting:)

Luckily, our side of the state was spared. The weather lately is just unbelievable. Thankfully crafting is a nice distraction. Thanks again for your kindness and thank you for the extras.

Comment: The. most adorable hedgehog EVER! And he is is...the hedges! I have never seen a hedgie in real life, but after seeing pet hedgehogs on Instagram, I believe I would like to liberate one from the hedges and keep it for my own selfish pleasure, they are just that cute. However, even with my desire to have one of my own, I have very strict beliefs about where "wild" animals need to live, and (except for those who are injured or such infants that they cannot survive on their own) that is in the wild. In nature. So I will make do with my wee foster kittens...and believe me, there is no "making do" where they are concerned! I can't imagine what took me so long to embrace being a foster mom! I love them so, so much, and seeing them evolve from tiny lumps of neediness into active, hilarious, furry balls of pleasure for someone else to love forever...well, it's everything! (How did I get here from "thank you for the adorable hedgehog"???)

Response: They are such an adorable creature, but I agree with you that leaving them in their natural habitat is best. Sounds like you & the fluffy fur balls have bonded nicely! My foster winter child has joined C.B. & they are getting along pretty well. Thank you for the heart.

rating

Comment: I just love the gorgeous wolf ATC you made for me! Not only do I see a majestic creature of the wild, but that layered background is fantastic! I always sign the Facebook petitions to stop the hunting of wolves, although I never donate...only because I already donate to two cat rescues and one fruit bat rescue in Israel. I have no affiliation with Israel; it's all about the bats for me. I'm a sucker for the underdog, and people are so ridiculous about bats. I love that there'a a refuge for the orphaned puppies and injured adults. Also...thank you so much for the gorgeous little sparkly rhinestones! I use them all the time! I am currently fostering two bottle baby kittens (it's my first experience with fostering, and I am overwhelmed...it's like caring for a human preemie, almost!), I am lacerated from their little murder mittens, and getting up every 2-3 hours overnight is hard for this old lady. It's put me into a bit of a fibromyalgia flare, which won't stop me from fostering, but it makes it more difficult than it should be. Enjoy your seasonal kitty, and let's keep on swapping with everything we have!

Response: I donate almost exclusively to ecological, animal & bird charities. I absolutely love bats! You are so good to foster kittens! I’m waiting for my little black demon to arrive & I’m interested to see if C.B. has missed her. Can’t wait. Glad you liked my Wolf ATC & the sparkles. Thank you for the heart. Nice to have you as a partner again, my friend.

Comment: Love the surreal aspect of this card, Di, thanks :) No idea what a "shoulder" season is; please explain!

Response: The “shoulder” season is the time line after the hectic, busy time of summer into the quieter time of autumn into winter. Rates for hotel/motel rooms fall, sensible prices resume for services and traffic on the roads drops. Some say, and I agree, it’s the best season of all. Beaches are uncrowded, weather is comfortable & we resume our regular quieter routines. Thank you for the compliment & the heart!

Naturally I am a bit tardy with this swap, and I'm so happy yours arrived before I actually made mine...I just glossed over the part of the swap description that said GIRLS, and had chosen 2 Victorian ladies! Anyway, back to yours: just so lovely! I adore making master boards, and quickly realized that they make stellar backgrounds for almost any subject. Yours are proof of that! Thank you for always being the absolute BEST swap partner and friend!

Response: I almost did the same thing! I’ve had to really pay attention to sizes & descriptions lately. This beautiful weather is messing with my concentration!

I read the instructions wrong when I made my swap-I thought it was to be ink box and then realized in time it was to be an index card-so I stretched it out-added stuff and hope my partner doesn't catch on-OH DEAR! Thanks for the extras you sent-I love children's book pages and woodland elements. Always a joy to swap with you-Take care-Georgene

Response: I have done the wrong sized swap, too. All I could think of when I thought of the skunk was “Flower” from the Bambi movie, so I had to use them. I’m glad we think alike! Glad you liked the extras. Thank you for the heart & see you in the USAPC Poe Swap (maybe).

Comment: Thank you, Di. All your people made it intact except for one of the little girls who was beheaded by the postal machinery. RIP! Great array of characters. I wonder how they'd all get along at a party? I'll bet the woman draped over her partner's shoulder wouldn't even notice he was coming on to the dewy eyed lassie! I hear you about August. I've already had a 2-day power outage from Hurricane Debby who was only a tropical storm by the time she came by here. August & September are the peak of hurricane season here. Once bitten, twice shy.

Response: He does have a wandering eye, doesn’t he? Sorry one of the girls lost her head on the way! It’s been a beautiful week now that August is almost over. Two more weeks ‘til school starts & the tourists depart. Then it’s weddings, honeymooners & senior citizen bus tours. Thank you for the heart.

Love Woodstock on the back hitching a ride 😁 So funny, my uncle used to work at Dodgertown as their accountant (for over 30 years) in Vero Beach. Had 4 cousins that grew up there. My uncle has passed 😇 and most if his kids have moved to Tallahassee. Thank you for the fantastic atc. I recognize most of those towns on the map background! Brings back memories. Thank you for the fun extras. I always love to see what you'll add for me! The musical paper strip is so unusual, and beautiful! lots of little pieces for vintage atcs too. awesome. I'm sorry to hear of the death in your family. You are in my prayers. Can I do anything? Thank you for joining the swap. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you in another one soon. 💜💜

Response: Hi Leslie! Love being paired with you! Glad you liked Snoopy & Woodstock & the extras. I’m running low on extras, so they’re mostly pieces I haven’t used in swaps. Is your move finished? I hope you get settled & ready to rev up swapping again! Yes, another death in the family—this time my only sister-in-law who was the same age as I by 3 days. My only sibling (brother) lives next door, so I was able to help. It’s cooler here & less humid than last week. Stay cool & keep hydrated!

Yours is simply wonderful, as is your maternal chicken! I adore chickens, and I swear I would have a coop and some pretty chickens if I had the room. And if the zoning allowed for it. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but your masterboard background is truly amazing...and I have decided that this is my favorite way to create backgrounds now. I have yet to see a completed work of art that doesn't "go" with a masterboard background. Thank you for the wonderful artworks, and for the lovely extra papers, my friend! I'm sending you a pm right now.

Response: I’m with you, my friend. I love doing Masterboards at night, after supper, when the house is depressingly quiet. I have never seen a wood duck, but they must be gorgeous to see. Thank you for your encouraging comments & the heart. Will check my msgs. & respond.📮

Comment: Hi Dianne and thank you so much for these very special bird coins. I am so impressed with your artistic ability. I go looking for images of birds and you draw your own - and draw so beautifully! Such a talent. These are both just wonderful and I loved your note accompanying them. I remember lots of birds in my childhood in the midwest that I no longer see. Of course we have different birds in Southern California, but the bird population everywhere seems to have suffered due to either global warming or encroachment on their habitat by population explosion. We do have a lot of quail here in the desert and they are fun to watch scurry about. All of the ones we have here have a little feather top knot so they are easily recognizable. Thanks for you for such a fun swap and for all the extra goodies as well!

Response: I am so encouraged by your comment! I have always liked to draw & try as often as possible to create something by hand. Nature is suffering so much from our careless treatment of Mother Earth. Hopefully it is not too late to save her. Our quail in the Northeast don’t have the “feather in the hat”, but they are so cute. Sadly, I don’t see or hear them anymore. Thank you for the heart.

I used to skate for hours on end as a child. Now, I think I'd fall on my tush more than anything!! Lol. Thank you for the fun extras, too. Happy New Year!

Response: How tiny the feet were back then—try finding a size 4 these days! I used to use street roller skates (the ones with the key) on the ice until I got some figure skates. I’d fall, too, and at this age would need help to get up & probably break my hip. Happiest of the New Year to you. Hope it’s better than last year for both of us, my friend. Thank you for the heart.

Comment: Gosh, what an elegant nighttime owl! I love the magnificence of him amongst the tattered leaves (I may or may not have that die cut set, but if I can't find it I will order it immediately!). But I'm not surprised, because everything you make is beautifully thought out and detailed. Thank you for the gorgeous old book pages...I am besotted. As Natasa from Treasure Books says "A normal person would toss these old things in the bin...but we are not normal, are we? We see the value in EVERYTHING!" I lost my sweet Kiki about a week ago. She had an inoperable esophageal tumor, and literally could not breathe without oxygen being pumped into her lungs. I am heartbroken. I have ordered 3 sage smudge sticks from Amazon (you really can buy everything on Amazon) to rid my home and myself of the bad energy that has dogged me since my BFF died in August. I will let you know if it works...meaning, if no additional disasters happen in my life for the next year.

Response: Thank you for the lovely comment & I totally agree with you about the “bin” comment. I used to wet a napkin before we left a restaurant, pinch pieces of plants I liked, wrap them in the napkin & place them in a zip-loc bag stowed in my pocketbook. When I got home, I’d drop it in a clear juice glass with water & put it in a sunny window. It would start to root in about a week. Got TONS of free plants that way! Thank you for the heart. I am so sorry you lost your soulmate. You have had so much to deal with this year. My heart aches for you. The smudge stick(s) should help. Sending you condolences & peaceful thoughts, my friend.

Love vintage Halloween images but especially love the "scary" black buttons. We have SNOW forecast for next week but not a major storm-so that gives you an idea how cold it gets here at night! I went out and bought a new electric mattress pad yesterday-other one has just quit giving out heat. I leave it on during the day and my two cats love to sleep on a heated bed!!! Happy Halloween!

Response: Wow! Snow—we are still waiting for the 1st frost. So glad you liked the Halloween stuff. Cats certainly know where to keep warm—you are sweet to leave the pad on for them. Happy Halloween 👻 & thank you for the heart.

Response: Thank you for the compliment & the heart! I just cut between the dots with scissors & use good tweezers, making sure I pull up the glue under the dot & then push down hard with the tweezer handle to set. If that doesn’t work (which is rare), then I apply a bit of Aleene’s tacky glue. Hope this helps.

Comment: Di, it is always such a pleasure to receive a swap envelope from you...I feel a sense of anticipation as soon as I see the envelope! Thank you for always sending such lovely little works of art...you are an amazing swap partner (and friend!). I had to let Bella go to sleep at the end of February. I was heartbroken and terrified to lose her...but I had to think of her comfort and quality of life which diminished by the day. And strangely (or not, actually), as soon as she was gone, I felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my heart. I think it was her way of telling me that she loved me, and thanked me for making that decision. I have an appointment at the Oregon Humane Society tomorrow, to meed an 8-year-old kitty named Kiki, who has been there so long that her adoption fee has been reduced to $25. My heart (and Mme. Cocopuff's heart) need her, and I believe that Kiki might need us, too. Mme Cocopuff has never been an only cat, and she is showing signs of depression...she is only awake about an hour each day. Maybe I'm forcing human emotions onto her little kitty heart, but I don't think so. I think we each have a Kiki-sized hole in our hearts. I will let you know how it plays out!

Response: My dear friend, I got a telepathic msg. that things were not hunky dory in OR. So sorry to hear Miss Bella has left you & Mme. Cocopuff, but you gave her a good life & she is now at peace. I hope all goes well with Kiki—it sounds like you all need each other—perfect!! Looking forward to hearing how it all goes. Thank you for the heart & your friendship!

Comment: Thank you for the beautifully painted flowers on a handmade watercolor postcard! I enjoy it! I appreciate that you noticed where my profile says I can't see light blue or yellow on white backgrounds very well. I think that only applies to writing (text) though - I will have to edit that to be more clear on my profile page. Sometimes I get a note written with light-colored gel pens on white binder paper and I can't tell what it says, that's why I put that on my profile page. Anyway, I don't like monkey stuff very much, but elephants are cool! More importantly, though, I appreciate that you decorated the envelope in a fun way following swap instructions/requirements! You are always thoughtful in sending mail my way and for that, you deserve a million hearts and rainbows and stars galore!!! Hugs from Florida, Harmony

Comment: Thank you for an interesting challenge, Di! I will see what I can come up with using the fox and rabbit! 🤔 The backgrounds are a lovely autumn color scheme too ~ did you use shaved cork on one side or is that just a patterned paper?

Response: Thank you for the heart. The background has a piece of cork ribbon. You don’t have to use both the extras if you don’t have enough room to add your elements. I just sent 2 because that’s what’s mentioned in the directions.

Comment: This ATC made my day. We must be of the same age, because all of what you said in the note about the 60's and Vietnam War and all of that, is what I lived through as a teenager too. AND I also had a boyfriend in the Marines. Kindred spirits! You so perfectly captured the look of the hippies back then. Thanks for the fun!!!! And the extras too. AND I have never heard of Bleeding Tissue Technique so I googled it and wala - I now know how to do it. Gonna have to try that sometime, instead of doing a watercolor wash, or maybe in combination. :-)

Response: I was hoping that the era in the ATC would be recognizable to my partners! It is nice to know I have another kindred spirit out there! You’ll love the tissue technique—such fun! Thank you for the heart!

I have a few ceramic chickens and roosters on a black wrought iron baker's rack in my kitchen, and I love them...but I recently read that these are passe, and need to be disposed of. Not happening! I'm old...and set in my ways! And I happen to adore chickens and roosters! On another note, the washi tape you included is really beautiful. I can't wait to use it!

Response: Don’t get rid of your ceramic roosters & chicks. I love them, too. Get ready for the peeps (they’ll be here in the candy aisle at Easter lol)! Thank you for the heart.

Comment: Ooooh, I forgot to rate you for this swap!!! It's one of the things on my "dislikes" list...non-raters! It goes to show that one should never be too critical. I could have sworn that I'd left a (stellar, of course) rating, since Mr. Peanut "spoke" to me. As a child, we lived 120 miles south of my grandparents, which involved a trip across the Golden Gate Bridge, and passing the commercial area by the SF Bay, which included Morton's Salt (HUGE) piles of "raw" salt waiting to be processed, and the Planter's Peanut warehouse, with a ginormous sign in the shape of Mr. Peanut, and all painted to look exactly like a 50-foot-tall Mr. Peanut himself! They were landmarks for us...we were halfway to Sebastopol (home of the Gravenstein apple, in addition to being home of both sets of grandparents. I love your inches, which is not a surprise, as I love all your work. And I promise to be better at rating, my friend!

Comment: Absolutely adorable owl! And the tree is so detailed with all its branches! I love that you have them in your yard. When we were in Nebraska, we had a great horned owl that would sit on the corner of the roof, right above my room. Only on those coldest nights. One day, we did see him in a tree in the back yard...I believe we had just had about 8 inches of snow. He was beautiful. You are lucky to have 4 owls!! Enjoy them!! I love the twinkling watercolors! Where can I get some of them?? Thank you for such a beautiful postcard! Happy Holidays! ❄🐻‍❄️

Response: So glad to swap with you again, my friend, and hear of your owl experience. I will have to pm you on the Twinkling H2Os source. They are getting tougher to find. Thank you for the heart & Happiest of the coming New Year to you.

Comment: Hi Dianne, I appreciate the WONDERFUL swap you sent me. The swap work you sent me, is really, really Good. I really have enjoyed both the Art or the collection of some kind very much. I was so EXCITED when I opened your envelope and found three ATCs representing the color Yellow. I also like the Extra ATC Pocket you added to the 3 Yellow ATCs filled with some Goodies for using on a variety of Art Experiences. I will proudly add the 3 Yellow ATCs to my ATC Collection. I am doing my very best to get swaps rated. I will say that I really enjoy letting my swap partners know how much I appreciate your swap delivered to me. So, I will do my job and rate every swap I receive, but I can't say that it will be done quickly, time may be my only friend. I do appreciate your patience and understanding. These 2 things always go along together . I try to extend these two strong qualities to my partners when asking for more time or something else. I hope we meet again on Swap-bot. Until that time arrives, I wish YOU many WONDERFUL swaps, but also I wish you many wonderful swaps and encounters. Until we meet again, HAPPY SWAPPING! Barbara B., sleepingrover2010

Response: So glad you liked my yellow ATCs! I don’t mind that you need a little more time to rate sometimes. That’s why we get those “rating reminders” 2 wks after the deadline as a reminder. I try to rate the day I receive, then I don’t miss it. Thank you for the great comments & the heart!

Comment: Oh, how I adore geishas! I once told my son that I feel strongly that I was a geisha in a previous life, and he laughed and said that with our solidly peasant background, it's more likely that I was the little lady with a crooked back who washed the geisha's underwear! Whatever. I LOVE the theme, and will do my best to create something we both will treasure! Edited to add: I am ever so envious of your experience with your grandmother and her treasures! I also loved (still love) my grandma, although her treasures were more along the lines of gaudy costume jewelry!

Response: I am so glad I found a jam theme we both like. My great grandmother was a very special lady. I’m sure you must have been a geisha in a past life!

It has been a year since my relapse. Going to specialist next week. Got my 1st shot and waiting for my second on March 3rd. I am not sure it will change what I do too much but glad to have it over with. Had reaction from 1st vaccine and expecting worse from the 2nd one. Glad you are doing well!

Response: Oh, Barb, so sorry to hear you are not feeling "up to snuff" and hope your appt. next week will help. I had my vaccine last wk. with no reaction. Glad you liked the ATC & thank you for the heart. As always, sending you good thoughts & vibes through the ethers.

Comment: I absolutely LOVE how this ATC turned out. That's one of the many things I love about mixed media art. Most of it is unintentional and accidently beautiful, and not to mention one-of-a-kind. Haha, I'm a 'Coffin' by marriage. My husband's family is from the mid west (Indiana), so a New England name....I have NO idea. lol And I'll say that there aren't too many 'Coffins' here in New Mexico.

Response: I’m so glad you liked it! A side note to the Coffin name—there is a famous guest house in Nantucket called the “Jared Coffin House”. Someone from your hubby’s family must have taken the “go West, young man” saying to heart. Fun to speculate! Thank you for the heart!

I was a little bummed that the bottom edge got stuck inside the sleeve and ripped off a little when I went to move the card from the sleeve to my book, but the card is still gorgeous and you don't immediately notice the damage. Only mentioning in case you use the same technique on other cards - it seems like the sticky part (double sided tape?) was exposed and that's why it got stuck. Oh! Thank you for the extras too!

Response: Oh, bummer! Thanks for letting me know so I can adjust. I had such fun making it. Thank you for the heart & I apologize for the damage.

Comment: Wow what a great journal page depicting Fall or Autumn as we call it. I love all parts of it and will be proud to include it in my journal. Thank you for the note. Australia is still struggling from the bushfires which is very stressful for people who were involved with lots of ongoing issues. elflady

Response: So many great ecological tragedies this year, not to mention COVID! I like doing these journal pages. Our Autumn is sliding into cooler weather. Snow expected in the northern and western part of the state this week, but not here yet. Stay well, my friend, and thank you for the heart!

Comment: Dianne, I love the beautiful simplicity of your postcard: the silver background is so fitting for the Arctic image and poem and the coppery orange trim accents were perfect! I am now curious enough to look for "The Nunt for the Northern Lights" to read more of this work. When I flipped the card over to read the message, I had to laugh out loud because I had done the exact same thing with MY Winter Poem postcard! I'm usually very careful to check things like that, but I wrote the message and address upside down. How fantastic that your Dad woke you up to see the Northern Lights! What a spectacular memory and testimony to his love for you and for nature! Your card is definitely going into my "keeper" album! Thanks so much for such a wonderful swap!

Response: I am so glad you liked my poem & Arctic Fox PC! It gave me a chuckle to see you’d done the same thing with the backside of your PC. Happy New Year to you!

I love that you used a beachy/seaside theme for one of them and loved the colors you used for that one. The other more traditional wreath is so pretty and sparkly - the way you attached the red ribbon is brilliant! And I used to make all my cards too - usually about 60 and most of the time all different. But I kind of ran out of enthusiasm for the project last year so this year I'm just sending photos of my husband and I and our two grandsons. Thanks again for a great swap!!

The red one is my favorite too, and the green one, and the blue one, even though it doesn't have the dimensionality of the other two, it is still perfectly lovely. Thanks for sending such awesomeness! . . . . I like to challenge myself with all the different sizes of the small-format art. I love making postcards, ATCs, Moos, Inchies, ATCoins, etc. The hardest monochromatic I made was an all white postcard. Of course there was gray and bits of black, but I tried to make it as white as I could. Monochromatics are usually a good challenge. P. S. - gosh I forgot to thank you for the Fall themed extras. Thanks very much.
