The TH one still works.. don't throw the baby out with the bath water, isn't that what they used to say? 😃 Thank you for the fantastic card! 🧡💙 PS: I gave mum a card to return a note to you. Thank you for the sweet pc you sent her ... she was so surprised! 🌞

My favorite die cutting machine that I use 95% of the time is the Diamond Press Marquise, but the opening is only 4.25" wide, so that is why I still have to have another machine for my bigger dies, but like I said most of my dies will fit through the Marquise and it cuts like butter and only uses a folder so no messing with different plates. Have fun buying a new machine and happy crafting! ☺

Comment: Thank you for this beautiful postcard! Yes, this would be a place to see if I came to OR! In my state, I really only like my county. Otherwise we enjoy the state of Maine as our favorite with Michigan as a close tie. I think I could find some in the Southeast but haven't been there enough to say which one! Out West I haven't been too, so I know I would have some favorites out there.

Comment: Joan, thank you for joining my first AADC swap and for the SO realistic winter card! I could feel the snow freezing right on the forest. Was it glaze and (what kind of white stuff?) which you used on the trees? Love the dimensional looks. Thank you for taking the time to make the stamped die-cut birds too - I will definitely put them to good use. See you in the next swap!

Response: I'm glad the card did arrive. I swiped a white pigment ink pad over the dry embossed 3D trees and clear embossing powder with a heat gun. Then to add more texture I used a new stampin up snowfall accent puff paint on top of that and used the heat gun again. I'm still working on using that puff paint. Some of my cards are become more paint projects lately. I seem to do better with a paint brush than markers. Thank you for the heart rating. I'm glad you can use the birds too. .

Comment: Very patriotic card. I would love to have my mantle decorated that way! I think kids in our school district, maybe elementary age, still repeat the pledge. At our AWANA club meetings, the kids repeat the pledge to the Christian and American flags. I will have to read the history of the pledge. Thanks for the tuck ins,especially the stamps, I just ran out!!

Response: Thank you for joining the swap. I'm glad you enjoyed your swap. And, thank you for the nice rating with a heart. You may want to stock up on postage before it increases early this month.

This is the first time I joined a scavenger hunt swap and I was surprised that hunting for stuff and deciding what to include takes way more time than making a piece of art. Thank you so much for your time and effort! I will use them to create notecards. Some of the ones you sent (e.g. telephone and typewriter) are the biggest die cuts that I have ever seen. LOL.

Response: I'm glad you can use what I sent. The telephone and other large cuts are the older large platform dies. The cut cardboard, fabric and foam. Thank you for the nice rating with a heart. Happy crafting!

Comment: What a fabulous swap, Joan. I love that yellow envelope, and your letter hit all the right notes. Thanks also for the stamps and the beautiful HM postcard. (Now I know what a master board is.) 🌷 🌷 🌷

Response: Thank you for the nice rating with a heart. I'm so happy you liked the swap. I enjoyed putting it together for you. There are different kinds of masterboards. I enjoy stamping on lightweight cardboard also, especially those 12x12 stiff, white sheets on the back of the pads. I enjoy the aspect of not planning ahead and the artistic surprises when I cut it up.

Comment: Hi Joan, Thanks for joining this swap. I hope you are well. We are staying in also and only go into our daughters house every 2 weeks or so. My days are much like yours, highlights being swaps and mail and art and prayers. A childhood friend hurt his upper thigh very bad and has to have surgery next Wed. So we made homemade lasagna and took him several pieces and breadsticks today. He really appreciated it and it made us feel good to help someone out. Loved the Valentine card, cat postcard and the white kitty card and reading about your days. Thanks so much for a great swap. Have a great weekend . We are going to have very chilly weather the next week. So we will stay in hopefully and stay warm!! Take care

Response: You are very welcome. It surprised me I actually enjoyed writing a little each day. It was a fun swap. Thank you for the nice rating and heart. Your kindness to your friend reminded me of the scripture, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.Matt. 25:38-40. God bless the gift and giver.

Response: I hope the marigold seeds produce for you. Mine are not coming up. I don't know if I'm watering too much or to little. I did enjoy making this swap for you. Thank you for the nice rating and heart.

Comment: Joan---What a great swap FULL of hearts and more hearts! Thank you so very much ---I've already put some of them to use for current valentine swaps. I really like the hearts with kitties die cuts, AND the embossed hearts which I assume you created--not using them until I get some made so as not to forget the idea. It makes them look oh-so-special but not so hard to create---but look is quite impressive. They would work beautifully as parts of a Valentine's card. Then we have all of the heart postage stamps; wherever did you find those. At 29 cents they are from a while back, but I remember them definitely. How can I give you a dozen hearts, like a dozen red roses for the holiday? Thanks and MANY hearts added!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the swap. Thank you for the top rating and nice comments. I just answered questions in a PM - Happy Heart's Day.

Good time of study - hope you do another soon :)

It wasn't supposed to be glitter & was supposed to be Confetti. Because I love glittery things! I dislike Confetti. Esp. tiny pieces. Anyway, I changed my profile to the Confetti. I so love Pomeranian's! I've had Poms all my life. Always kept groomed & so no shedding. I did have 2 Poms. But I lost my sweet Eboni ( mama) in March 2016. She was my life & I loved her to no end! So, I have Eboni's daughter Isis. Who's 9 yrs. old. We also, have a long haired female Calico cat named Bella! She doesn't really shed either. I had an Angora once some yrs. ago. You're right they do shed awful! They are a little harder to maintain.Well, you have a wonderful Christmas!

I did Sherlock Holmes living room for my sister. I didn't do "found" materials for it, but I have plans to do a 1940s one for myself eventually with some found materials. I found instructions on making an Aga stove ( English) with a Spam can. Thanks again! ðŸ’•ðŸ’•ðŸ’•ðŸ’•ðŸ’•

Comment: I loved reading what God revealed to you from the book of Ruth. I took a different approach,pointing to God's plan for Jesus,through the return of Naomi/Ruth to Bethlehem, the lineage of Jesus through Boaz,and Ruth (a gentile) I agree with you about the favorite verse in chapter 1, Ruth willingly went with Naomi. I agree that Naomi was probably a good MIL,and example of God's love,to impress Ruth away from the pagan God's. Naomi wanted her name to change to Mara,meaning bitter,changed from Naomi which meant "pleasant" No one called her that,but I wonder how long she felt that way,but holding Obed, Naomi took care of him. which probably opened Naomi's eyes to God love,and care.Kinsman Redeemer is Jesus! Thanks for suggesting this book for February!

The OWL stocking!!! Sooooo cute! This is the best package and I can tell you put so much time and thought into making it special. Thank you Joan!!! (I can't believe there is more to come!!)

Response: I'm so happy you liked it. Thank you for the nice rating. And, just in case anyone reads this -- you were told to open this part of the stocking swap upon receiving. The no-peek part will follow closer to Christmas. : )

I love the junk journal you made for me with our family photo on the front - I was in shock when I opened it! I love it so much! This is such a neat and personal gift - thank you so much for creating it for me! You have totally outdone yourself - are you really the same person who admitted to being intimidated by creating something for me?!!? I will treasure it always! Love the other things you sent, too - the cards and the tag, and the lingerie die-cuts! But the journal just naturally outshines them because it is so freaking awesome - you are a fantastic friend!

I wonder how it got its name? I'll have to look it up. --- As for reading theology, I keep a book list of books I want to read, titles that I come across different places , and many of them seem to be about the nature of God. One recently was: One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. She found in reading the Bible on her own , that all miracles begin with praise, and decided to keep a blessings journal. It was a profound book!

Comment: The backgrounds are great! They will be a lot of fun to use. It's nice because they are so different than what I made, and what my other partner sent. It is hard when you are trying to please someone else, but I think this swap was great because you can still make it your own afterward. I think it will be interesting to have someone else's flavor in with my own work. I can def. relate about the paintings- I am kind of struggling with what my gallery wants right now. I don't think she is right. Commissions? Forget about it! I really appreciate the long letter, wonderful backgrounds, and the extras you sent along also. There were places that had marbled paper... where did you get that? I bought a kit to make some but haven't gotten to it yet. The envelope was wonderful also! Thanks so much and I hope we swap again!.

Response: Thank you for the quick rating, nice comments and heart. I'm happy you enjoyed the things I sent. Sadly, many of those pieces of paper I used and sent extras of came from a very talented young woman's estate sale. Her brother was running the sale and really didn't realize what treasures were there. I bought a whole drawer full of papers she had made for backgrounds for very little. He just wanted them gone! I'm glad you like what I shared. Happy creating. Hope to see you again soon.

Comment: This was my first chunky house and it has exceeded every expectation I had! The workmanship is amazing. The 'Alice in a Winter Wonderland' theme was an inspired idea. It's gorgeous! I had planned to file my chunky houses with my atc's in a scrapbook, but your house deserves to be displayed! .. and of course, the vintage envelopes and images you sent were incredible. I'm so attached to the airmail envelopes that I doubt I will ever be able to actually mail them!

Response: I'm so glad you liked your chunky house. Thank you so much for the compliments. I like ATCs, but this was my first row houses and I like that there is more surface to create on. Hmmm, now I'm thinking a whole series of Alice row houses would be fun. In any case, thank you for the rating and heart. Happy swapping!

Comment: I loved this book as a child, and recently sent a copy to another swapper as part of a Group swap - but I had no longer had acopy of my own. The copy you sent me was the same edition I had as a young 'un - always wondered why Polly looked so wonky on the cover. Thanks for a wonderful memory; I'll enjoy reading it all over again. (did you know Margaret Sidney bought the first house the Alcotts had in Concord, right next store to the one they owned when Louisa wrote 'Little Women'?)

Response: I'm so glad the book is special for you. I was a little nervous, about sending a book in case it was not of interest. But, it was in nice condition and I'm so happy it worked out. I didn't know the history of Sidney and Alcott connection. I probably should have read that book before I sent it LOL. Thank you for the rating and heart.
