Comment: Hello Debbie, I am so sorry this rating is coming so late, but I was back East with my sister for some 6 weeks and then got back just right before Christmas. So, now as 2008 begins I am playing catch up with ratings. Please know that I got both of your recipes and they are going to be a great addition to my A-Z Recipe Collection. Both sound delicious and ones I want to try sometime. I have really enjoyed this swap because of all the neat recipes and the all the nice swappers I have met while participating. I hope this swap continues as it has been awhile since one has appeared. I know the host has not been doing well. I look forward to us crossing paths at future recipe swaps and at other swaps. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and that your New Year is filled with everything wonderful. Barb sleepingrover2010

Comment: looks great and sounds delicious. i can't wait to try them

Comment: Thank you--both recipes sound wonderful!

Comment: Debbi, Thanks so much for the delicious-sounding recipes and creative cards you sent. I especially love the wine bottle and glass - did you draw those by hand or were they stamped/hand-colored? Neat envelope, too. Thanks again.

Comment: WoW!! What a Wonderful package! So Many Great things! :D Thank YoU!!

Comment: Thanks, Debbie, for the awesome package! I expecially liked the keychain and the ME box! Too cute!

Comment: Debbi, I was so amazed yesterday when I opened up my package from you! The tea-towels were lovingly and skillfully transformed into the most awesome totally cool tote-bag.! You obviously care about quality and craftmanship. The lining is to die-for special; the print fabric is an "orgy" of oranges,limes and lemons. They make my mouth water, that is how real they look! The orange polka dot fabrics, the tea towels, the rick rack. I can't believe how classy and put together this bag looks...it is high end boutique quality! When I opened up my totebab I was greeted with the most luscious smells. Thanks for the extras; soaps, awesome tea assortment; blooming flowers!, chocolate gelato lip gloss, and a big wonderful craft/recipe book too! Your thoughtfullness,time, effort and skill will not be forgotten. You are a first class swapper from start to finish. I can't thank you enough!

Comment: Hello Debbi, First and foremost--Hello again! I feel like I am getting to know you as well as others pretty well since this swap is a small intimate group. I was happy to see the bright colors you used for your recipe bases, not that I don't like more muted color. However, it is nice to see variations. With your Crock Pot recipe I just love the following embellishments: sewing to attach the recipe to the larger recipe base, the use of a another chicken recipe as another layer, an actual picture of a chicken, and a little touch of ribbon. Your second recipe sounds YUMMY. I like the use of various ribbons for embellishments, some being almost the same shade of orange--but having something else on it to help it stand out, the pink with brown(mud)dots and pink w/white dots, and then last but not least brown w/white dots to hold the name. I realized when I picked up the recipe and touched all those pieces I thought were ribbon were all stickers. The only paper was behind the recipe and the base of the recipe card. This recipe card was unique--especially because of the choice of colors used which I really loved. I will proudly add this recipe card to my recipe collection and it will be in a prominent place in my recipe book when I assemble it. We will be meeting again I know at this swap. I do hope we get to meet at some other swaps as well. Until we are paired up again--many joyful and positive swapping experiences. Barb sleepingtraveler

Comment: Thanks for the great recipe cards--the first I've received this round! The vintage recipe book page and the sewing around the edges were excellent and the deco tape was a new technique to me altogether. Looking forward to making Crockpot Chicken Barbeque and Mississippi Mud!

Comment: Debbi, thanks so much for the lovely, thoughtful package! Everything was stuff that I mentioned I loved on my profile! Big hearts!!

Comment: Hello Debbi, I am sorry that I have been somewhat slow in getting ratings done on your swaps with me. Please know that is has nothing to do with your work. I received your recipe card for the "B is for Beverage" swap. It shares an interesting sounding drink that I have not heard of, but one I would be interested in trying. I appreciate the varied techniques you used to put the recipe card together and this card will be a great addition to my current collecting of recipes from the A-Z recipe swap. As well, it will be another great addition when I design and create a recipe book to put all the fabulous recipes in both presentation and how good they sound to eat or drink. Thank you as well for sharing your creativity and talent with me through this swap. I am not sure how often we have swapped, but I know over the next few months we will be swapping more often and I look forward to that. Until our next swap encounter, continued fun-filled swaps.
