Comment: Thank you, Steph! I had a little trouble making out your handwriting, but I am not judging you--mine is TERRIBLE - I just hope that I got the full meaning of the poem! I also wanted to say that I fully understand your problem with constant revising. It's almost more tempting on the computer. Also I love, love, LOVE the violet stationery sheet you used! If you have any extras of that, I would be super interested in some kind of trade. Violets are my favorite flower. <3 Happy weekend!

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. It's awesome you're making masks and thinking about your students. I am also a teacher. We have been back a week and students come back Monday. We are on a A/B schedule for middle and high school.

Comment: Love the mail art collage! Thank you!

Comment: I am afraid that this must be rated down, due to the fact that you are on summer break still, and I am back at work today. My jealous nature compels me to take it out on you maliciously and unfairly. Unless you'd like to bribe me with the Cold Noodle Salad with Veggies and Chicken recipe. Then, I may be persuaded to give you the five stars, since your chatty letter/extras were fun. Hand over the recipe, girl, and get back to work!! (Maybe not too soon. It's sooooo stressful. thank you!

Comment: Thank you, esp for the extra and for sending blank!

I'm happy to send some to you, so you can go skiing :)

Comment: Thank you so much, Stephanie for the wonderful magpie journal and your nice letter. I love that I can add to what someone else creates. That's the way most of my pages were done also. Keep those muscles moving! That's what I need to do. lol Hope 2018 is good to you!

Comment: Thanks for the postcard! It got me wondering as to whether Chase & Sanborn Coffee still exists, so I looked it up--and it does! It is now owned by the same Italian company that also bought up Chock full o’Nuts, and I learned some stuff about that brand: "Chock full o'Nuts coffee houses are very widespread, especially in the Northeast of the United States. They serve top quality, 100% Arabica coffee, as well as the well-known date nut bread and a wide range of refreshing drinks." I HAD NO IDEA. Thanks again!
