Comment: Brenda, my friend, the first thing I noticed on your tag was the quote: take things for granted, or with gratitude. I sat still for a solid minute or two, pondering the truth of that, and I've resolved to be more grateful for all that I have. Your. turkey is adorable, and the pilgrim...with his pilgrim hat and musket...just the sweetest reminder of how our Thanksgiving came to pass. Thank you so much for not only the tag, but for the reminder to enjoy and be grateful for my life!

They are both so cute and each so different than the other. All of us can copy what someone else does but it takes a lot more to take the original idea and put your own spin on it. So many thanks for a fun swap!

The large pocket folder with the birds on it that everything was in is fabulous, and all the tags and pockets in it are so pretty!! It was hard to choose a favorite, so I will keep them all in my special album, but the red pocket that had stickers really caught my eye. I really like the way the washi tape plays against the red pocket and the colors of the other embellishments. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a beautiful swap!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comment: Brenda, I am absolutely blown away by your journal!!! It arrived while a crafty friend was here for an afternoon of projects with me and we both spent most of the time after that going over each page and commenting on this part or that part; then we discussed different aspects that we were most impressed with and how we wished our journals were half as nice as the one you created. We both agreed that if this one isn't your 'best effort', then we can't imagine how beautiful your best effort could possibly be!! It's easy to see that you put a tremendous amount of time and energy into it and I feel so lucky to be on the receiving end of your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful swap!!! And yes, we also hear about the Bates Motel and, with four sons in the family, 'Master' Bates was a common title bestowed on them by their friends... Lol!
Response: Thank you for your kind words. It was a push to get it finished but I absolutely love making them.

I organize stuff, get busy with projects, and everything is everywhere again.... I see pictures of neat crafting areas and wonder where the people keep all the STUFF they use... mine all ends up wherever I'm working as I really don't have one dedicated area...

Comment: Beautiful Brenda, you made my day! Thank you for the turtley 80’s birthday card - I loved hearing a bit about Connor’s athletic achievements too. The Mandalorian/Grogu bandages are just too cute to use! I may have to make an OOPS-themed ATC to use one on. LOL! And, of course, you know just what I needed to focus my artistic ambitions on a year-long postcard project. I love it all! Big hugs from me to you, my friend! 🤗

As much as I want to, I am not disassembling your journal! Thanks for sharing it with me!
Response: Oh thank goodness! I am so glad you like it! I was behind the curve on that one as far as magpie goes, lol. The journal came with 4 separating pages, was the envelope one of those? The trifold, the vellum, the pocket that I put the skull napkin on I think the 4th was the envelope. I found that journal thrifting, I love cool bases. I make my own often but that was a find, the paper was very flimsy thus the combining of pages.

Comment: Hello Brenda, WOW! WOW! WOW! I received your box today and i just love everything in it. I wasnt really sure what a fandex was, i googled it and saw some pics, but still wasnt really sure, but hey it was starwars, so cant go wrong there! Ive never seen anything like it before - it is great. Im gonna sit down and read all the little facts - never know could come up at our trivia night! Those postage stamps are AWESOME! You would not believe, but when i went to the PO today to post my swaps and collect my mail, i saw that they had a folder of mandalorian postage stamps - i was in line and looked over to the area where they keep those collectables and squealed when i saw them, rushed out of the line to have a closer look and of course i got them! I dont know, but somehow starwars gripped my heart from the first episode and i reckon i am the biggest fan i know! I have over a dozen starwars t-shirts and a few of them have holes in them, but i cant throw them out! I still wera them with the holes and i have put a few yoyos on the holes. I have a box of panels that i cut out from a heap of older ones when they were falling apart, that maybe one day i will sew them together like Bellas quilt in Twilight! I love all the halloween stuff - i think a lot of that is because of all the orange and i am obsessed about orange - i have an orange car, wear orange everyday, except for special occasion things like christmas or st pats day and other crazy dress up events - even with a lot of them i can wangle orange into it! Sometimes i wear another colour and its like im in disguise! - my friends dont recognise me. They will walk right past me at the shops. Did you make those two doilies? Such delicate crochet in the smaller one and i love the stringy effect of the bigger one - both of them will be appearing on my altar. I love the coaster in the beautiful autumn colours. Im going to pop one into my craft trolley that i take to retreats and leave it in there - i always forget to pack one. The dragon cutout is beautiful - am going to have to think of something special to use that! The string of flowers that look like they are made from fake leather are just beautiful - im going to snip one off and see if my orange sprays will take to it! And the cute little bee album is just gorgeous! I have a few special bee things that i can see going into it. I am going to have such a good time with halloween craft this year! Thankyou for such an AWESOME box! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comment: Hi Brenda, Please forgive me for some time in getting your rating for this swap. You were so generous with the items you sent for the swap. Thank You for the very COOL items you sent me in this Walk Through the Alphabet series. I had a harder time with this letter. You came up with some wonderful items for the Letter K. I will be using all the content of the package over time. Mail is still moving slow in Colorado, both in and out of the state. Continued Patience as our mail trouble works toward much better mail service. Barbara, sleepingrover2010

I have had an accident or two myself...I feel so terrible. But the positive side of it is that once the book is finished no one will know if it was an accident or just part of the art!! :) Thank you for the cool photos. I wish I could find some at a yardsale or thrift store. I am looking forward to using them in a journal. Happy swapping.
Response: I just got 5 tin type photos from the 1800's for $3.99 at value village, plus an adorbs baby cabinet card from the 1890's for a dollar. It has been a fun week. I love to share.

Comment: Hey Brenda, first of all, I like your autumn tag a lot, all the layers, autumn colors, very nice😍 And all the goodies, what a great idea to send it in two parts to keep the costs down. I had my two days of happy mail fun😀. Thank you for the beer coasters from your area and the fabric with the golden feathers will be great to use in future swaps. You are right, we need to make people smile in these hard times. And I must say you succeeded. Stay safe too and it was great to meet you as my swappartner. 🍁🍄🍁

Our area is doing okay with covid right now but, since the schools have gone back it seems like we are seeing a bit more cases. The tourists have been here in full force and think it will be a longer season for them since a lot had reservations in spring when our rentals were closed and they have now moved there time to late Sept. Good luck to your daughter in Idaho! I lived in Boise for about 5 years and it is a pretty place. Have a great day!

It's a lovely work and I like how the words high pressure are at the top, as if talking about the making of glass or maybe breaking it. Very cool. Thank you! :):):) Absolutely LOVE the dino pages!!!

Comment: BRENDA!! I can't FATHOM How much work went into this!! This was a VERY special Swap!! I am soooo Sorry that your dog has passed. Nevi is my first dog with my husband. But I have had 2 family dogs with my mom and fam. 1 passed away soooo quickly (Which they do) that 1 week later (exactly) my midlife crisis parents came home with a Boxer CRAZY puppy. Who became MY PAL!! My Pal one day didn't want to get up one day to greet me. His dad died (today in 2014) and he didn't have much gumption after that. Mom passed a little after her two male counterparts. To say I didn't want a dog much after that, is an understatement. But when I had some personal problems during our first year of marriage and so We got Nevi during an aweful bought of Depression and she has SAVED me!! (I know alot of pressure for an animal) but she's got four legs and a mega watt smile!! She can Handle it. I hope the puppy gets well adjusted soon. Its so hard on EVERYBODY not just for the owner. Well I should of probably of put this in a message But you did a fantastic job Thank you!!

Comment: Oh my goodness, I am blown away by your swap - I wish I could give 100 hearts. Your letter touch my heart with all your kind words about what I enjoy to do. Its hard to believe you have not been swapping long, you knocked it out the box. You truly touched my heart as i opened each item because you personalized everything towards me and the presentation was awesome - Thank you for caring that much. Sending me a piece of your family heirloom made my heart beat so fast, I am so touched that you felt so strongly about me to share with me, I will use it in something special and share with you. I could go on and on about this beautiful swap and all the beautiful things you created and sent because it is so much more I can share here. Do know - I appreciate and sending virtual hugs for your heart and generosity towards me, It truly has blessed my soul. It's just what I needed at the right time to restore why I swap unselfishly and send swaps with my heart and not requirements after a few bad run ins with recent swaps. I will use everything with great care. Thank You

Comment: Thank you for the really cool ATC. I even like the back with the circus clown. I am glad the you didn't die when you had your surgery. Then I wouldn't have received this package! 😉 Seriously, I am glad you are doing ok. Being held hostage isn't really that bad. I just miss shopping and church. However, there is always the internet for both. I love Zoom and have taken many classes. I do get to go out for a walk. I avoid people at all times! Thanks again for the ATC.

Comment: Welcome to Swapbot! I LOVE the old valentine. Reminds me of grade school in the 50s!! I will use everything you sent. I'm keeping the Smokey the Bear card for something special. I saved a piece of paper for 30 years and when I needed it, there it was in all its splendor just waiting for me. I'm sure a perfect project lurks around in my future. Thanks for a great swap.

Comment: Thank you for the fun goodies! I love that they are all Pacific Northwest themed...so lucky we’re both from here! I don’t go to Whitman, although it’s close to my home. I go to Whitworth in Spokane which is Whitman’s rival in sports! My very favorite sweatshirt that I’ve had for years is a Whitman sweatshirt, which confuses a lot of people. We have a huge park that modeled after Central Park called Pioneer Park. That’s probably the one you went to with your kids. I’m hoping to visit the Olympia Peninsula this summer and get some good hikes in! Have a great summer!! Thanks again!
