Comment: Hi Diane! I loved your photographs, the postcard and the recipe. It looks so different from where I live and you made me want to visit your town. Thank you!

Comment: Thank you so much for the very thoughtful swap! My children already enjoyed most of the banana bread as a breakfast treat. It was delicious. The Dutch hex is awesome and definitely not something I would find around here! I appreciate you sending so many goodies for my scavenger hunt words. Thank you for your generosity!

Comment: Thank you Sooo much! Absolutly Awesome!!!!!...I love it so much!I'm going to frame it:) I recieved it Mon. but have'nt had time to rate..sorry I'm late.Thanks again and I truely appreciate your time and talent...TYTYTYTY

Comment: Thanks for the lovely minizines!! Thanks for resending them too. Hope to swap with you again!

Comment: Thank you!!! This is definitely the best swap I've received - ever. and Ahww shucks thanks for saying I'm special that's so nice. When I saw that big box I though I had forgotten I'd ordered something :). The teawallet is so pretty and in my favorite blue/greens and I love batik fabric. I've been sipping the tea from my fabulous new mug and snacking on some biscuits, it's really helped my get over that fact that I'm at work. I'm going to use the tote as a computer bag it's just deep enough that my laptop fits perfectly. Now this is a big sloppy thank you from Bubba and his cousin Tippy who is visiting (I made Bubba share). They both knew something was up as soon as I opened the box. Bubba's big head went right into the box and started sniffing out the treats and then the drool began. He's a mastiff so drooling is like turning on a faucet. So thanks again from me Bubba and Tippy!

Comment: WOW! This came out phenomenal!! I am so excited about it! I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it....I can't wait to wreck it! :) Thank you so much!!!

Comment: I received your chunky page today, thank you!!! I absolutely love it! You did a fabulous job - I did a similar theme for my partner and am ashamed to admit it didn't turn out nearly as nice as yours. And you sent so many nice extras - you spoiled me - I would give you more than one heart if I could! Thanks for making my first chunky page a special one. I'm looking forward to building a book! Cindy

Comment: Diane, I am sorry to say that I received you mail today and it was totally trashed by the post office and just hanging in scraps. Unfortunately the ATC was completely gone and I had to piece together your note to read it.I am sure the card was great and because I am sure you sent it I am still giving you the 5. Wish there was something to be done about it as it bums me out that they made such a mess. Thanks Jan Special thanks for the new cars and fabric. Jan

Comment: What a neat photo and even made into ATCs. Thanks for all the ATCs.

Comment: Amazingly we had just watched the movie groundhog day a few days before your card arrived! Even more bizarrely one of my other cards in this swap is from a swapper whose name is Groundhog girl! Sorry for the delay in rating, I have just moved house in the last week.

Comment: You went a little crazy with the inchies! I'm making them into little stickers to decorate future packages. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for the great flower atc's. You must be a wonderful gardner.

Comment: everything was great good choice on the pez doggie didn't have that one

Comment: What a great postcard Diane. It's very me....especially the moose! What a coincidence that you are in New Tripoli (and I know how to pronounce that....not the way it looks). I lived in Allentown for 27 years and moved to Long Island just last August. I've been very homesick and really miss PA. It was an extra treat that this card came from a resident of the Lehigh Valley.

Comment: Fantastic package....you went above and beyond & I was totally spoiled!! You are great!! And a big THANK YOU for the piggies and cow patterns. Love them!

Comment: Thank you for reading my profile and sending me a great postcard of my passion (shoes)! Next time you are at Paneras, think of me. Rose strathouse@comcast.net

Comment: Thanks Diane, such lovely fabrics. Do you know we don't get cotton Halloween fabric here? Only satin/tulle dress up stuff, for costumes I guess:) And I love the hex panel, I find that sort of thing intriguing.

Comment: If I could give you a hundred hearts I would!...I love the groundhog you sent...He is adorable and will go up on the wall...I was so excited when I opned the package!...You made my week!...and I really appreciate the fabric squares too, a quilter never has enough, you know!...let's do a private swap...just message me with ideas...thanks for a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL swap!

Comment: Your very handsom Stanley arrived here and already started exploring the house.

Comment: Thanks for the super cute ATC and the Hello Kitty notepad and stickers! I love them all and I am sure the notepad will get a ton of use :) Thanks again!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card and the extras. Both cards will go in my album for the extra special cards that I love. Thank you so much.

Comment: Diane such a wonderful parcel - thank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness. I am at new at this and now I feel my parcel wasn't as good. The benchmark you have set for me is very high! My mother and one of her buddies are coming to visit soon so I have someone to try out your recipe on! I'm looking forward to that.
