Comment: Hi Ainslie! Thank you so much for the wonderful postcard! It's beautiful. And I had a lot of fun reading your profile as well. It seems we have similar movie tastes -- I loved High Fidelity (and Away We Go)! If you're looking for a penpal ever, I am certainly game and I think we would click. :) No pressure, as I know you're a busy mom. Thank you again, and have a wonderful day.
Response: I am definitely game to go forth as penpals. I'll be writing soon! :0) Ps thank you for the heart!

Comment: Thanks for our great zine and sooooo instructive. I too love paper making. I wonder if you enclosed a piece of the mint paper? The envelope was opened for inspection and we have such strict customs rules here in Australia. Anyway, love the texture in your paper - it's good enough to make it into one of my mixed media pieces. Thanks so much.
Response: Awww, Suzanne you absolutely made my night with your comments! Jeeze, I had forgotten all about the strict Australian customs rules, but I'm really glad it wasn't confiscated. (And serves as a good reminder for me, so thank you!) :o) PS. It was the mint paper...

I'm still totally wowed by your most beautiful package. It was nothing but perfect, everything suits my style and taste and was wrapped really nice (btw.: Finally someone who uses magazine pages for wrapping like me! :)). The solid perfume is my favourite right after the bag. Sorry, now I'm filling your page with a massive rating, but I just want to say thank you and give you a big hug. And you even sent a letter with it! Such a wonderful, personal swap! You'll definitely be hearing back from me. I'm totally amazed, thank you for making not only my day, but probably my whole week! :)

Comment: Thank you Ainslie for the fabulous postcard. I've spent about an hour on YouTube finding your recommendations!! I particularly like When the Night, Valery Gore (have you heard of Sarah Blasko? you might like her), Beth Orton and Stompa. I thought that the guitarist in Mother Mother looked like Landry from Friday Night lights and giggled a little. Despite having had a radio show some time ago, I am a complete ignoramus about popular music, so I thank you for updating me.

I would love to receive more cards from you. Good luck with your changes. To me, the difficult moments in my life I call growing pains and we survive somehow. Much luck, linda

When our kids were little we lived in MI and made the trip to FL with crayons in the back car window, which melted all over our new car!! Thanks for the extra's, especially the lime lace...loved it....have great holidays, Sheryl

Comment: Thank you so much for such a wonderful swap! Motherhood, and the bodies that it produces, are beautiful. They are perfect because nature is perfect. The female form, in whatever size and shape, is a thing of beauty. Love yourself today. I don't think women in today's society really have the freedom to do so very often, so make today different. And thank you for the kind words. I can be extremely hard on myself, but sometimes a kind heart like you can make all the difference between me hounding myself and thinking "Hey, you know what? I'm okay." And yes, I've decided that I would like my forte in nursing to be emergency-trauma :D Wish me luck!
Response: Emergency trauma - wow! What a path! Good for you! I couldn't agree with you more about the idea that A) as women we should love ourselves and our bodies more and B) the opportunities to do this and express this are somewhat scarce. I think there's also something to be said for cutting ourselves some slack. The standards that we hold ourselves to are soooo much higher than we would ever expect of someone else! Bizarre, isn't it?! Thank YOU for your kind words and for the heart! This has been a great way to start my morning! Cheers! Ainslie :0) PS. Thanks for being by 200th rated swap!

Your letter was one of the best I received so far, I hope you guys will have a great birthday picnic (if you want you can E-mail me, we kept the picnic a secret, and Evyatar didn't know about it until he got there, so I have some tips regarding how to do it secretly). Thank you again - I loved everything (especially the awesome sunny side bubble bar. I love LUSH they are so creative!)
Response: Hooray! I'm so glad to hear that it arrived and that you liked it! I had no idea that the picnic you planned was actually a surpirse! That's awesome! Hahaha! It will be at least a few years before Molly is old enough to understand what a birthday is let alone a surprise, but when teh time comes I know it will be fun! Ah, LUSH. I love them too!

Comment: Thank you so much! I really didn't expect to get hand made items in this swap! Love it! Never seen bird shaped post it notes before, we are totally missing out on those kind of things over here, it's all so boring and square. I love Jeffrey Brown cat drawings, I've seen them before, probably in one of our many comic books, we don't do super heroes over here, it's all fun and silly =) When I found the coin inside the pouch it hit me: I have never seen a coin from Canada before! I spoke to my mom about stuff like that just a few hours ago, we know so much about the US, about politics and way of life and all that, but Canada... nothing. We couldn't even agree with ourselves if you have a male or female prime minister. But we do know you have no president since you still got a queen. Norway is a monarchy too, our king paved the way for all the young royal couples out there now, that choose their life partner from outside the royal blood line. He said "this woman, or no woman at all", and of course he got his way in the end. Our crown prince then found a wife with a kid from a previous relationship. What our future queen might do I don't know (she is only about 7 years old now), but I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out lesbian ;P But no news is good news, don't you think? Since we don't get the huge headlines from Canada, it probably means that you have a quiet and good life over there =)
Response: Hi Lexidh! First off, let me thank you for leaving the greatest and most interesting comments ever! I'm sooo glad to hear that your package arrived and that you liked it! :0) And now for a nugget of info about Canada! You are right; we are governed by a Constitutional Monarchy and by a Parliamentary Democracy. Your question comes at a funny time as we are about to go to the poles on Monday for a Federal election - wish us luck!! Currently, Steven Harper (head of the Conservative Party) is our Prime Minister but they are only holding a Minority government... It's really hard to get a feel for how people are going to vote this time around! It could be anyone's game! All told, I adore Canada... To speak in generalities, we are a pretty easy-going bunch of people! Thanks again for the pat on the back and for your thought-provoking comments! Cheers! Ainslie :0)

Comment: Love the cards!! You did a great job with both of them! And to answer your question: the bunny and the cat are about the same size (though Macbeth technically weighs a bit less). It's rare to find them in the same room, though, because the cat is absolutely TERRIFIED of the rabbit! She is convinced that he is going to eat her or something, so she always runs away in terror when she sees him, hehe. Anyway, thanks again for the lovely ATCs!

Comment: Ainslie, Thank you for the fun package. I absolutely LOVED everything from the decorated envelope to the swatches of decorative papers/fabrics and the cute tie and handmade hang tag that bundled them together. Your lovely note was so sincere in personalizing to my profile. (A doo-wop is a concert of original artists (singing groups) from the 50's & 60's brought together to sing their original hits.) I sat on pins and needles with the anticipation of opening my envelope. It was so exciting! ~thanks again, Nancy

But they all died of old age a few years back. Had they lived a little longer with the critters we have now, we'll have a small zoo. LOL. Don't you love that word, imbiber? It sounds so finesse and totally un-negative...haha...it's like you're not really going overboard just delicately indulging yourself. X-D Have a great weekend. (^_^)

I thought it was really clever using the hands over Mother Earth, with the words over the globe representing various aspects of nature. I loved the other card too, with the stack of rocks and the unusual apple. But you also sent the most beautiful letter decorated with Japanese washi paper, which really delighted me. I loved the decorations on the envelope too, as well as the bonus cat postcard (I'm sure Xena my cat appreciated this!). Thank you, thank you so much... Dixie xo

Response: Hahahaha! Thanks for the complements - and you're more than welcome to share the name! ;0) I like it now, but it caused all kinds of confusion when I was a kid every September when the teachers tripped all over it and I had to listen for the approximation! Cheers!
