Comment: Beautiful postcard illustration. And I like your fancy font with frolicking animals. A lovely PC to receive. You picked a nice place to visit - the Butterfly Conservatory. I've been there 3 times. There's always something interesting to see. The last time I went they added small colourful exotic birds to the conservatory. Quite a nice ecosystem happening there. I checked out Natalina's Kitchen's website. She's very social media savvy, she even has a youtube channel, so I watched her eggplant video. Nice to learn something new about where I live. And lastly, I've tried axe throwing (not at the Riot but in Toronto). Got one pretty close to the bull's eye, a couple bounced off the board. It was a fun and unusual experience. Thanks, ES!
Response: I'm glad you liked the card. Fun that there was something new for you too :)

Comment: Hi Emilia! Thank you for the wonderful fox postcard, it's lovely! The flying squirrel postcard is so cute as well. I'm glad you had rain - we've just had a heatwave here so I'm hoping it cools down after this, haha! The tulips sound beautiful. I haven't read Memory of Water before but the local library has a copy so I'm going to gie it a try! Thanks for the recommendation :) Best wishes from Alan
Response: For some reason I didn't see this rating before now. I'm glad you liked the card, and hope you'll like Memory of Water :)

Comment: Hello Emilia of Finland. Thank you for this gorgeous postcard of the Karelian Bear dog. Wow. Thank you for the information. Have always felt all dogs are "acceptable" if given the environment to thrive. Sounds more like a dog better suited in big open spaces. <3 The swan stamp is also beautiful. Thank you.
Response: I'm glad you liked the card! Yes, in right environment/ in the right job Karelian bear dog is a great breed :)

Comment: Thank you! I have read, " Born a Crime" and enjoyed it as much as you. I adore, "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" and watch it regularly. Please visit other countries, before here....We are such spoiled brats, compared to the rest of the world.
Response: Haha, you would not get a job as a tourism marketer :) I had never heard of Trevor Noah before the book. Could be fun to watch him perform now, after reading his story.

Comment: Emilia, Thank you sooo much for the wonderful postcard you sent to me! The kitten reminded me of one we had when I was growing up that I hadn't thought of in a long time - nice happy memory! His name was Kasselmann and he was a black and white like the one on the postcard. I'm still working on my craft corner, but making progress. Meanwhile, I'm still crafting on the dining room table. I want to complement you on your beautiful penmanship! My writing is not as nice, so I noticed this immediately on your card. I also noticed and love the coffee stamp, and the "clouds with sun" drawing! So fun! Thank you for such a great swap! I hope we get to swap again soon! Stay safe, happy Spring, and keep swapping!

Comment: Thank you so much for the charming little book you created using berry juices to illustrate Elizabeth Lamb's poignant haiku. The effects are lovely, but sadly in my sub-tropical climate the "inks" are melting & the pages sticking together. I hate adding chemicals to your delightful natural art, but I'll try spraying it with fixative to preserve it. Otherwise it will soon be lost to the heat & insect pests that come with my climate :-(( And thanks for the tip about Kaj Stenvall's recent Trump pieces. I visited his website to view them. How I'd love to see DT wearing that orange suit!
Response: I'm glad you liked my creation. I'm sorry I didn't come to think of the effect of warm/humid climate. Fixative is a great idea, I hope it helps!

Comment: OMG this is probably the best swap-bot mail I have ever received, you put so much thought and dedication to it! I can see how much you love where you are living c: And did I scream when I felt that paper that you wrote on! Thanks for telling me what it is c: I need to go buy some! It feels so light and buttery, did anything smear when you wrote on it and what is this amazing pen you used to write?! Its like calligraphy to me, you handwriting is superb!! I loved learning about where you live, Finland sounds amazing especially the forests and the community that you live in as well. I think it'll be awesome if your daughter and you can start horseback riding again in the future c: Also, thank you so much for the tea and little stamps too! <3 If I can give you more than 1 heart I definitely will!
Response: Thank you so much for your kind words :) I'm relieved, I was beginning to worry that this swap had gone missing. I can't remember what pen I used. But my favourites for brush lettering are Tombow Fudenosuke and Zebra Disposable Brush Pen (extra fine tip). Both are pens with a fine, flexible felt tip, which is easier to handle than a real brush tip, and good for writing small font. For normal cursive or print I use various fiber tip markers (Pilot Drawing Pens are my long time favourite), and sometimes also ball point pens. Haha, it's so fun to meet a person who appreciates quality paper like I do :D Also, pens with felt or fiber tip last much longer when used on smooth paper :)

Comment: Great postcard, thank you. Totally in the Nick Bantock style! To answer your question, denim jumpers (not a sweater, it's a long sleeveless denim dress, worn over a t-shirt) are often worn by fundamentalist women who dress following a self-imposed "modesty" dictum. Those ppl also are often heavily into homeschooling--I do not fit that image AT ALL!

Comment: Thank you for your beautiful letter! Your brush handwriting so neat! I still want to learn. Thank you for all the extra butterfly cutouts and stickers. <3 To make homemade pumpkin spice just mix together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves. You can store it this way in a small spice jar. It tastes great added to coffee and baked goods. Enjoy!

Comment: First off, the postcard is gorgeous and I absolutely love it! The stamp and your little note with it is incredible! Thank you so much! Your resolutions look like they're going well, you're doing amazingly! Congrats! Your library reading challenge sounds like fun! What's one of the books you've read for the challenge that you've loved so far? I'm sure the whole FB/computer thing will come with time, except I don't really have much advice because I'm a procrastinator. Anyway, thank you for the gorgeous postcard and for your resolutions report! I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Response: I don't know why I saw this rating first now. But thank you, I'm glad you liked the card. Of the 9 books I've read for the challenge so far, I have most liked two biographies (I find that interesting, since I usually don't care for biographies): Seeking Allah, finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi, and a finnish book about Juhani Huotari, who does international work to help christians who face persecution. I haven't yet read a really good novel this year.
