Each guest received a tiny basket with the gingham “blanket”, mug and “honey”, and shower info on the lid. It was so much more fun than a paper invite! I’m glad you enjoyed everything.

Comment: Oh Holly, what a lovely Creative Space swap you made for me. Your watercolor illustrations are awesome - they are like the ones I see in field journals at the book stores. I love your quirky descriptions too. ;) and put some of the same "self-judging" explanations in my own descriptions (mostly about my crooked 3D depictions. LOL and that I shouldn't "quit my day job!"). Like you didn't need to add that the arms of the chair were crooked... Seriously though - your fine detail drawings of your cool pencil holder/pencils and brushes with the teeny tiny writing on them that I could read - wow! That cabinet is a way cool find. I'm a good organizer...hmmm....:) The Walmart shoe tree turned storage for all sorts of cool things is neat. I don't think I have space in my art space to put something like it, but I enjoyed hearing all that you put on it and ideas for what could go on it!! My cat hangs out in my room too, but she's only 7 lbs and she sits on my window sill until she wants down and then she'll usually walk across whatever I'm working on at the desk. I have to be careful not to leave the ink pads open. I'd better stop rambling. Thank you so much for sharing your very creative "Creative Space" description with me!! Many hearts to you.

The card will be placed on my inspiration wall. Thank you so much for a happy, happy swap!

Response: Thanks for hosting such sweet fun swaps. And for your inspiring blog!!

I can't wait to see what you send next -- although it will be difficult to top what I received today :) Addendum: Part 2 arrived yesterday in the form of circle and purple themed pocket letter, and I adore everything about it.

The post office put your swap in one of their see-through envies and apologized for a bit of postage damage, but it was only a little and didn't harm anything and it wasn't opened, so everything was intact I believe. Your Zentangled/doodled cards are fabulous and yes, I love the stamps, the envies, the goodies inside them, everything!! Thank you for a fabulous mail day, and a very Merry Christmas to you!

Comment: Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow wow... Treasure beyond measure, baby! :D I seriously don't know how to rate you for this fabulous (and crazy generous) swap!! I love the rubber stamps you sent (in a Whitman's tin, no less!) and they are a fabulous addition to my collection. (You know a tin is seriously stuffed when you find other goodies - like the pretty sewing pins - taped to the outside of the tin. When one can't even fit pins into a package, then it is stuffed to the max well and truly... rofl) Good thing I'm not the boss of you or you would have gotten a hot ear from me because this swap is more than just simply 'above and beyond.' Thank you for yet another great swap and for being such a great friend and swap partner!! â™¥â™¥â™¥ (My sincerest apologies for rating you two weeks late - I received the swap just before we went on holiday, but unfortunately I didn't manage to rate you before we left.)

Response: Oh yay yay i was so excited to be sending you that!!! I knew youd live those (and the tin... And i promised you the pins ages ago for the pincushion and forgot) Most of the stamps are the ones from @shelleym that I decided I didn't need and would share with you, if that gives you any idea how many she sent me (cause I kept a ton!!) I'm so glad you liked it and that you were notthebossofme!

Comment: Hi Holly, This is a bit of a mixed rating! I love the Tinkerbell figure and the mermaid bookmark. Both are beautifully made and I'm really pleased to have them. And I enjoyed reading your letter. Sadly the envelope didn't survive its transatlantic journey -- it arrived with a large chunk missing which had been replaced by sticky tape by the Post Office. There was no Hook related item in the parcel so I presume that fell out somewhere along the way. However, given that you have separately sent an extra Hook item, that -- when it arrives -- could be the third item for this Pick 3! 13/8/14 - Holly, thank you for the extra Peter Pan items which arrived today -- I feel totally spoiled! And I think the bookmark is great! (as are the envelope and the Barrie portrait!) Thanks again.

Response: Agh!!! Well never fear... Replacements on the way! (The hook item was a bracelet with a captains wheel and an anchor on it :-( I'll see if i can find another of those. And this envie will make it!!!!)

I love all the fun animal cutouts for my future mailart. When in NY, buy a pass for the Apple double decker bus. You can get on and off all day and travel to Little Italy, China Town, to Battery Park to the Twin Tower Memorial. One price all day or even a 2-3 day pass. The artists in Central Park are amazing! Thanks again, Mona

Response: I'm glad you liked it. What a great suggestion!! I will! You will LOVE London. We took a walking tour of Dickens favorite spots (all mentioned in his books) the first night, and it was our favorite thing! (From the Dickens House museum) The Sherlock Holmes museum was funny but also really well done. If you need suggestions let me know! We're going back this Christmas. :-)

Comment: This is the mother of all Awesome-Blossom SwapMonster of Handmade Happiness! :O The beautiful (and intricate) pincushions are just so perfectly made, and the itty-bitty wabbit on the smaller one makes me go *squeeeeel* every time I see it. lol I can't begin to tell you how much I'm going to love putting those babies to use. Let's not forget the chocolates you included... - perfect and super delicious choices. Thank you so very, very much for another sock-rocking swap, Hols! â™¥

Response: Woo-hoo I'm so glad you liked it! I was really worried you might not think it was as nice as what you sent me, since yours was such a awesome package. Hey since the swap I've been very sweetly gifted some cute straight pins with flowers on the tops. I would have stuck a few in for certain if I'd had them at the time... I'll mail you a few if you'd like? :-)

I will have to try the other places that you listed, hubby and I love to try new restaurants. Thanks also for the chick-fil-a cards. I will be out that way this weekend!

Comment: Thanks for the recommendations! I used to live really close to Doumar's, but I never actually went so I need to try it out. My dad LOVES What-A-Burger. He used to landscape all of the peninsula 7-11s, and he and his workers would always get a burger there. Now I need to go over there one weekend and try one of the famous burgers! And thanks so much for the Chick-fil-a coupons! As a PAHS alum, I have many fond memories of sneaking out of school during lunch to get a Chick-fil-a sandwich, so I am looking forward to going back over there. Thanks!! :-)

Response: Ha ha, I might have been there sometimes!! :)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely card and great suggestion! I used to leave in Norfolk and one of my best friends currently lives a couple of blocks from Colley Ave. I've been to the Naro for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I've been there during the day and I when I was there I did not notice that they sold baked goods (must definitely get some the next time I go!) I also did not know that they showed those Christmas films; I will have to see if my friend wants to go there this year since her apartment is within walking distance. I am going to see her this Wednesday, and since I received your card I think we will try Bella Pizza for the first time :-) We usually go to Kelly's or No Frill Grill (I highly recommend both if you haven't been there!) Anyway, thanks again for the card and happy early birthday!

Comment: Okay, so far I've been really good and haven't opened any of these... but it's not easy when one of them smells so good! :) UPDATE: WOW!!! First off, let me tell you what a fabulous swap this was... I spent my Christmas Eve opening all my goodies, and was blown away by everyone's creativity and generosity! We'll have to do this again next year, or maybe something similar even sooner?? On to your goodies... great assortment of teas... can't wait to try the loose tea! And that "tadpole" spoon is fantastic... I don't have anything like it! The book looks great (I keep meaning to try some Douglas Adams), and I love how you managed to tie it in with the whole "tea" thing! :) Fantastic job all around!

Response: It was funny that you were my partner for both!! I hope you will enjoy what I prepared for you. I really had fun getting both swaps together!! (I was stressed about the Little House one, being homemade, but once I got going it was really fun... and I found JUST the perfect thing for the Cup and Chaucer one! )

I'll try to be good and save the wrapped items for Christmas (even though something smells AH-mazing!!!), and will update your rating then. But you definitely get a heart just from what I've seen (and smelled!) already! :) Thanks, Holly! UPDATE: Ah, so it was the gingerbread garland that smelled so amazing!!! :) LOVE IT! The cards are exquisite, I can't decide if I want to send them out or hoard them for myself! :) I'm flattered that I got scarf #2-- it's beautiful and will make a great addition to my collection! I've always liked your little notebooks (the last one was a a lifesaver on my vacation!), and as for the chocolate... you're right, no explanation needed! :) And again, I'm touched that you used your son's fleece to make the stocking!

The owl postcard that you drew is absolutely gorgeous! I can't send it...I just can't. It has to be put on my refrigerator so my daughters and I can enjoy it each day.

By the way, Love Josh G. and my favorite Broadway show, "Les Miserables". Thank you again. Hugs & 1000 Hearts to you. Mona

Excellent choice of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, too-- it's extremely funny to think of them visiting Avonlea and all the trouble they'd get into while they were there. Thank you for your awesome letter! ;D

Response: Yeah my daughter told me emphatically today as I read your letter that Anne would NEVER like Tom and his uncooth ways...but I am not so certain. Plus she was trying to get Gilbert steamed, too, I'm sure. She suggested I might have tried Katie Carr from What Katy Did as a good friend for her, but I still like Tom. :)

You can use the little book as a personal notebook or seal it and stick it in the mail (probably two stamps). Enjoy!!

The little handmade notebooks are really cool, and I love those 100-cal. packs! The teas look yummy, and I can't wait to try them in that exquisite little cup, stirring in some honey with that gorgeous spoon! :) Such a thoughtful, wonderful package to brighten up an otherwise dreary day (which included a freak snowstorm, and hubby spending money he shouldn't have...) :( Anyway, thanks so much, Holly, you ROCK! Come tea party with me anytime! :)

Response: Oh I'm SO glad to hear that it brightened your day... that's awesome!!!! And this is bad but I can't really remember which notebooks I sent... if they are trifolding, you can use them either as a personal little notebook or seal them and mail them as a long letter. :)

Comment: Making this swap was almost as much fun as getting it! Holly put in the most creative, fascinating, and clever items to help me envision the world of 'Going Postal' by Terry Pratchett. I'm personally delighted that I was able to introduce her to the book, and that her sense of wit and whimsy quite matches the author's intent. (The game, without being too specific so as not to ruin the book for anyone who HASN'T read it, was absolutely a perfect choice, and I and my Kitkat will have so much fun playing it together!) I'll swap with her any time, if I get so lucky.... Hugs and hearts, Judith

Comment: You were right, the last poem was written just for me. ^_^ I loved the ribbon! The first poem reminded me of years ago when my fiance' and I were having a long distance relationship. Oh, the bittersweet pain of finding your one true soul mate and not being able to see each other every day. Thank you so much for the poems and the memories!

Response: You are quite welcome...it was my pleasure. I'm glad I chose correctly. :)
