Comment: Happy Spring Naomi!! I was so excited to get the huge box you sent through the mail today!! :o) As always, I LOVE everything!! You're so thoughtful and I love reading your notes. Your mailbox is now by my computer on my hutch so I can see all the time and be reminded of your kindness. All of the stamps were awesome, I am absolutely enthralled with the rose stamp with the white decorative handle. It is soooo cute!! And the Writing Box, I will definitely be storing treasures in it!! The tea cup is gorgeous and will be put to good use. I love the little sugar/glitter bowl. A great friend of mine used to collect lustre-wear and its amazing this piece is all together with no chips or anything!! Of course I love the kawaii too!! So many things to thank you for!! Thank you for swapping with me again, it is always so much fun! Love to Sir Edward, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!! Hugs!!!

Comment: Oh Naomi, Swapping with you does the heart good!! :o) I've been looking at my little box since I got it this afternoon and I've been waiting...until I couldn't anymore!! lol I LOVE everything, thank you, thank you, thank you. I adore the Valentine card you sent and the deco tapes had me dancing with joy before I opened any of the presents!! The socks are adorable, I love the rubber stamps, I'm intrigued to try sharing the lip balm with Milzy--say a prayer that it doesn't snow on Friday so I can make the 6 hour journey to be with him for Valentine's Day!! Mixing when we kiss will be a fun activity! lol And I'm so glad you sent the necklace--I wholeheartedly support the cause and will check out their website and wear the necklace! And the SMURFS! Of course I watched it!! lol That and the Chimpmunks were my favorite cartoons as a kid. Along with She-ra!! My dad called my brother Josh brainy smurf, he was usually too smart for his own good! Thank you for a great Valentine's package --I'm feeling the love. ;o) Your package is supposed to be to you on Monday, it was sent priority but it wasn't a flat rate box, be on the lookout. Happy Valentine's Day my friend!!!
Response: I loved the Chipmunks as a kid, too. I tried watching some recently and was surprised by how slow and inane I found it as an adult. ;) I hope you had a good day, sweet friend.

Comment: O-M-G!!!! That just needed to be said. I hardly know where to start...I had a great giggle reading about Little E's first Christmas. I'm pretty sure the next one will be more to his liking. :o) Everything you sent to me was amazing. It was one of the greatest swaps I've ever received. So thoughtful...every detail was appreciated. The notes, the wrapping and of course, the gifts themselves. I'm over the moon with the vintage ephemera, the wonderful mailing labels. The Ernie the Envelope package--I had none of that!! My Downton Abbey Calender!!!!! (I can't wait for Sunday! I have a serious crush on Branson!) The cameo necklace is divine! The kawaii! That awesome little Coca-Cola Santa tin! The frizz control! (I have very curly hair, so that is awesome.) My tea for Downton and the wonderful sugar sticks! Snoopy and Charlie Brown! Washi! I simply can't put into words how grateful I am for the love you put into this package. I carefully put everything back in the box and am taking things out to oh and ah over. What a wonderful Christmas, Birthday, New Year Surprise. You are an amazing person. Thank you so much. And of course I want to do a Valentine's Swap!!
Response: So glad you enjoyed! You sent a pretty amazing/fantabulous/cool beans swap yourself! :) they killed off my favorites of Sybil and Matthew, so I watch now primarily for Mary and the Dowager Countess -- what rapier wit!! We'll have to compare notes next week. ;)

Response: I'm so glad you liked him. I was if two minds at first because turtles are on of MY favorite animals, not yours, but I couldn't resist with the eyes. I think the little bubble dots do add a more realistic,if cartoony, feel. Enjoy! :)

Response: Oh dear, this is a super, super late response. I'm so glad, though, that you liked everything Livvy -- especially the sugar cubes. I tried several before I got them to float for me. I think it's the way the sugar melts in the tea? Hope all is well for you -- I'm sendin g bright sunshiny thoughts your way. Let me know when you'd like to swap again -- anytime! :)

Did you crochet them or knit them? I cannot tell the difference. They are lovely and I'm sure it will look great on my daughter. lol.
Response: I'm so pleased you liked everything! Yes, I had that Hello Kitty bag for a while and thought it would make pretty packaging. The clips are crocheted, but not by me. Please let me know when you'd like to swap again and if you have questions! :)

Comment: What a perfect theme for this swap! From the little red ribbon to the ATC to the hanky and the small gift inside, it was a perfect "Little House" memory.
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed! I worried at first that the ATC was too simple, perhaps, bu the illustration seemed to carry so much of what I remember about Christmas -- or remember reading about Christmas as a child, anyways. I don't worry so much about switches as an adult. :) I'm so pleased you enjoyed your package. A wonderful holiday season to you!

Comment: We got this yesterday! Cailtin adores the small packet you sent just for her! She had a great time ripping it open and she is very impressed to get her own matchbox. That was very nice of you! I did open the red package of matchboxes for me too. I am going to wait to open the rest, though it will be hard. These are such cute little matchboxes! I love how you used gems to make the rainbow on the box. Very creative and adorable! **EDIT 12-25** Wow, I've finally opened everything and this was the best package ever! I can't believe you found some Lisa Frank bubblegum machine stationary! You totally ROCK!! Thanks for all the goodies you included in this swap! The shamrock and squirrely stamps were great too! =) Happy Holidays!
Response: You're welcome, and Caitlin, too. :) Yes, the rainbow one was my favorite, although, darn, I forgot to take a picture before I sent it. If you photograph it, will you send me the file? Enjoy the rest on Christmas -- and open the last one last, especially! ;) 12/29: So glad you loved it! Yes, when I saw the LF stationery, I about danced a jig in the store much to the dismay of my DH who looked askance at the glass ornaments nearby on the shelf. Oops. Happy New Year! :)

Thank you so much, and for the beautiful note you wrote as well. Thank you for the lovely circles! I will have to invest in a circle cutter, that really looks like fun to make these. I will definitely be putting them to good use, they are lovely. Thank you so much for such a beautiful swap, dear friend. ♥ ♥ ♥
Response: You are so welcome, dear Gooseberry. I had been feeling particularly Anne-ish lately... The circles came from another swapper, but I don't like butterflies, so I thought you would like them more.

Response: Please enjoy them -- I had so much fun making your packet, though it was slender and mostly flat! And, isn't it so nice when we meet people who might be kindred spirits from another time?

Response: I'm so glad you liked them. Yes, I worried that they were too simple, but I tried to go for purposeful simplicity, rather than crappy simplicity. ;) I got the tape on Etsy. I was annoyed that the seller did not specify the length of the roll, so I paid an exorbitant amount for a tiny tiny bit. It IS beautiful, though, isn't it?

I love his cute, happy face lol. Thank you so much for a wonderful piggy mask! BTW, the stitches are perfect!
Response: Ha ha, thanks. I cried in angry frustration the first time and my husband offered to help me take out the stitches. Unfortunately, because of the felt and fleece, the holes showed quite badly so there was no saving Mask #1. I've since added it to my scrap pile. I'm so glad this one came out nicer and that you like it! It matches your recent piggy kitchen items (I made mine first, though!)... but don't wear it to sleep in the kitchen! :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the fabulous ATCs! You picked a film/book that I thoroughly enjoy, so it was definitely a pleasant envelope to open :-) I was just a regular English major with an emphasis in Literature, but I went out of my way to take British-specific lit classes because I loved them so. Nothing beats a great American classic, though! I must admit that Thoreau had to grow on me, though. I would definitely never say he sucked, but it took me until college to really appreciate and love Walden. I got there eventually :-) Anyway, thanks so much for agreeing to to this private swap to help me catch up on my movie ATCs! I am working hard to make you some profile-based ATCs that I hope you will love!! P.S. I think Fenimore is a gorgeous name for a boy, so if your husbands needs the opinion of a random internet stranger, you know where to find me! :-D
Response: Tee hee! I'm afraid that poor Fen will be teased mercilessly in school for having a "sissy name," but I figure if it's good enough for James Cooper... I'm so glad you enjoyed them. Your experience is exactly the opposite of mine. I took to Thoreau like a duck to water but, barring the eternal Shakespeare of course, hated Brit (and Greek) lit with a burning passion -- far more than anything found in Dante's circles. In fact, I got the only B of my college career in British Literature. I don't tell my students that, of course. ;)

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The fourpence and "Magic" scenes are my very favorite ones. I almost couldn't bear to part with the toast keychain -- but it worked better with the found poem than it did being hoarded away with my treasures. I'm so glad you enjoyed... :)

Looks like the one in my Etsy favorites. ;D The wine cork handmade stamps is very clever! You should sell those - I know they will be a giant success. I love the flowers you make each petal is unique and the burned felt leaf - again brilliant. The paper goodies: handmade mini chocolate envelopes, cupcake toppers with mini cupcake cards and your handmade Valentines Card is amazing. Your very crafty Naomi and I LOVE my package. Thanks you so much! Hugz
Response: My favorite to make was the flag necklace. I think I will make more of those. The cork stamps took forever to make. And I went through 5 mistakes and start-overs. So glad you enjoyed it all. I foresee many swaps in our future together, says the Great Fortune Teller of Walden Pond... ;)

Comment: Thank you so much for yet another sweet package! I love all the vintage trim and lace and the cheery stocking and the apple pie candle and book...not to mention the lovely Christmas present of a pretty and giant rubber stamp! (how shocking to get a bag of coal, though :O ...is this edible?) And how crazy is it that you found a potholder with a gingerbread recipe on it?? Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, and for being such a dear and imaginative friend.
Response: So glad you enjoyed everything! Tee hee about the coal -- it is only a hypothetical gift and not what you would REALLY find in your Little House stocking, of course! No, it is not edible. More of a tree-trimmer I think. My favorite, though, is the handmade package in the little house itself -- did you find that one? :)

Comment: Thank you so much for my surprise package. It was so much fun unwrapping each gift and 'oohing and awing' at all the cuteness. I love it! ;D
Response: You're welcome! I'm actually wearing my darling teacup ring today and several students have already done a double take at it -- especially as I use the projector to write warmups and they see my hand blown up! Let me know if you'd like to swap again! :)

Comment: Thank-you for the beautiful ATCs! I love the quotes on them and will re-read Little Women just so I can more accurately guess which card represents which girl. I love them. Thank-you.
Response: I had such fun making them -- it's one of my very favorite in children's lit. The literature version of comfort food! So glad you enjoyed them... :)

Comment: thank you very much for the lovely package filled with yummy goodies and the delicious tea! My tounge is all numb from tasting everything (i accidentily "tasted" the whole bag of the sour smarties in like 5 minutes:))
Response: Thank YOU for the lovely tea! (I know tea wasn't part of your package; however, since it sounded like you are now trying more than the usual teabags, I had to send you some.) I'm so glad you enjoyed your package, Heidi, and I'm also glad it got to you safely!

Comment: What a wonderful letter! I found your assessments of Jo true to the author and to the character! Unfortunately, the postal service did not heed your warning. To emulate Jo, I will search my button box for a beautiful and appropriate button to replace the one you supplied and sew it on (industry, thrift, determination) so I can enjoy your lace cuff as you intended. What a charming gift! Thank you!
Response: Oh NO! Was the letter torn open en route to you? I'm so sorry about that... Even after I wrote that big bright Do Not Run Through the Machine as well? :( I'm so glad you enjoyed the bracelet, but I am very sorry the button did not make it. Thank you, though, for the additional connection to Little Women -- industry, thrift, determination -- I love it! Hugs to you...

Comment: thank you so much! i LOVE the ATC and all the extras...plaid- yay! hehehe and the gumball stickers really made me giggle- i'm obsessed with food stickers! the card meant the world to matt (and myself)- hugs!!
Response: That's right -- I didn't even think of the gumball stickers as food-related. I picked it because it was sparkly, rainbow-y, and seemed kind of '80s to me... So glad you liked your package. Yay for you and Matt!

Comment: Oh my! I put the lace cuff on immediately, and the doll *is* perfect! From the buttons to the orange and green plaid dress to the bloomers - she's lovely in every way! Thank you so much!
Response: I'm happy she got to you safely. I've been experimenting with lace lately and your lace bracelet is one result. :) And I can't believe that I found the doll! From Ireland! Despite the fact that I've never been there! I was tempted to keep her, because I'd love to visit the Irish countryside someday; however, I knew that you would love her more. It was hard to package her up and let her go, though! Give her a hug for me. :)

Comment: Naomi...I don't even know where to start. Each and every part of this package was so incredibly special, from the ribbons of hand-punched lace to the vintage Betsy McCall paper dolls to the little packet of sewing goodies to the handmade bookmarks with Little House quotes...I loved absolutely everything! I opened every bit of it as slowly as I could so I that I could marvel over every piece. Best of all were the tags, which made me so very happy with all of the Little House quotes you chose! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, my friend. It's so nice to know someone else who understands my love for Laura, and who shares it in such a meaningful way.
Response: Oh happy happy! Think of Grandma doing her clickety-heeled jig and throwing her spoon to some random sugar snow dance-goer! I'm SO super-glad you liked your Laura package, even with the tape bubbles on the bookmarks. I was so frustrated and nearly in angry tears over those 2 mistakes that I got a personal laminating machine this weekend -- can't beat Costco's $17 deal. The next bookmark will be MUCH better. :) This has been my very favorite swap to put together. I'm so pleased it went to you. Many hugs...

Comment: You chose my favorite book for TWO bookmarks! See my PM for a funny story about our family visit to Orchard House.
Response: So glad you loved the bookmarks. I thought I'd make 2 for two different feelings / styles. LOVED your funny story about your wise daughter at Orchard House! Yes, there always are two sides to the story, aren't there? :) I have the newest book out right now about Louisa May and her father... still haven't had a chance to read it though. Or The Concord Quartet. Or A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers... Soon! Hugs to you, and thank you for the rating. :)

Comment: Where do I start!!! I love everything!!! I couldn't believe all the flowers, stickers, etc. you got into the pretty hummingbird matchbox. This is the first one I've ever seen. Love the garden flag, bookmark, tags (WOW) (and I did chuckle). The tree and apple you made are so cute.Hot chocolate will be good in a few months. AAANNNNDDD love the apple notebook. You outdid yourself, Naomi!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I could never have too many flower or hummingbird things.
Response: YAY, Patty! I had so much fun putting this together for a fellow teacher-type. I know most people get over the cliched cutesyness of the apple theme; however, I adore it myself. Was it tags that we had matching? Or something else? I opened your package, though, and knew I'd put the exact same of something into your package -- smile. Looking forward to swapping with you again! Sending hugs...

Comment: You are right, the dragonfly card WAS perfect for me. I really love how you sewed your tea bag pockets!! It's inspiring me to try some of that method. I enjoyed reading your note too. How neat that you went to Massachusetts for your honeymoon. That's the state I was born in and grew up in. I'll bet you went to Walden Pond (smile). I've been there once, many years ago - it's a very peaceful place! Thanks again!
Response: I wonder how you knew I went to Walden Pond? *wink* Yes -- that was the whole point of a random place like Concord for a honeymoon (colleagues' responses: "Why not Hawaii? Jamaica? Bora Bora? Concord, Massachusetts -- are you nuts?!") I'm SO glad you enjoyed your package... I'm hoping as much as I enjoyed mine from you! Hugs to you... :)

Response: You're very welcome! The mini jar was so fun to make into a cushion, but it was so small in comparison to the regular jars that I had to add more stuff on the outside of it. So glad you liked it!

Comment: Wonderful wonderful wonderful things! The black woolly yarn looks like the kind that you can felt in a washing machine, it's always useful. The purple one is fascinating and even my fiance who normally pays no attention to yarns at all was interested in it! Can't wait to try all the sweets and teas, I'm going to save the wrappers for my scrapbook, haha! The view on the postcard is great, I wish I could visit famous landmarks like the bridge some day. The bead is very pretty, I'm going to use it for something special. And the darling little peanut butter toast! My very first felt food :-) Everything is so great! Thank you SO much for this swap and if you ever come to Finland I promise to show you everything worth seeing!
Response: I'm so, so glad you enjoyed the package. I like the sparkly purple yarn, too. Thanks for your offer -- I might be visiting next summer, fingers crossed! :)

Response: I'm so glad you love the fleece especially. I know we were going with a Snoopy theme, but when I saw the peace, and the tie-dye, and the neat fleece, I couldn't resist. Maybe a nice throw for the couch? Or you can make a no-sew fleece blanket with another piece of fleece as backing (or not). Here are some directions if you've never seen them before. And hey, a random google search turned up Project LINUS! :) http://www.projectlinus.org/patterns/pdf/NoSewFB.pdf
