Comment: Holy WOW Erin!!! I got lucky to get you as a partner!!! Thanks so much for such a great package! You do very well with making envelopes, I can't really tell they are homemade!!! I too wouldn't be able to make envies out of the things I like either, its great to know you and I have things in common! I love each and every envelope and I like that you noted where each one came from:) Sweeney and the anatomy one are my faves;) Will be hard to send these off!! Also, thanks for the extras too! I love the wreath and I'd love to learn to make one. I've always thought origami was rad but seemed too difficult for my patience, lol. Thanks so much for everything!

Comment: Thanks for the note -- much more interesting than a PC! And you and Ihave the same soapbox. As a former teacher and GS leader, I deplore the trach that masquerades as literature for tween and teen girls -- and I am even less fond of trends like the Bratz dolls, which simply foster the same mentality. Our 2 girls (now 42 and 44) were never allowed to have Barbies because of the blatant consumerism they promote -- they had Madame Alexander girl dolls with realistic pre-teen figures instead. (And they were also easier for Mom to sew for, too!) But it sounds like you made some good choices -- I love Hank the Cowdog! ANd thanks for the tea, the ornament and the origami tips. I don't have a troop anymore, but a friend leads my granddaughter's Brownie troop, and one of my former Senior Scouts has a Jr/Cadette troop, so I will pass the hints along. Happy swapping!

Comment: OMG!!! That was an awsome book...goodie hider that I have ever seen...thank you so much!! I would have rated last night but I wasn't home...I would give more hearts...but you are creative!!
