The quote you put on there- Happiness is not out there, it's in you, I am going to be thinking on that for a while. Thank you again so much!

Comment: Valerie, that you so much for your wonderful letter and extras. The road trip through New England made me long to go back up North where I lived for over 60+ years. I wish I had known you were going because I could have told you some wonderful places to go. Did you see the mansions at Newport,RI? What was the name of the small town you stopped in CT? I am happy you got to the beautiful Berkshire but I wish you could have seen it in the fall. We were lucky with the hurricane. I seemed to go around us. Just some small limbs and branches and lots of leaves to pick up. Minor, thank goodness. Shirley
Response: Hi Shirley! I am breathing a sigh of relief to know that you weathered the storm okay. It was quite the rain producer for sure! We did not get to Newport, but stopped in Haddam, CT. I know we missed the glorious fall colors, but we missed the crowds as well. Thanks for the nice rating and the heart! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: It's always a pleasure to get a swap from you. I do have a Paper Source near me. I haven't been there in a while. The last time I was there I bought a few rubber stamps. It sounds like I need to check out their washi. I get most of my washi on Etsy. I definitely have an addiction to the stuff :) It's finally starting to cool off here in the evenings and I love it! I'm looking forward to the leaves turning. It shouldn't be long now. Yes, my pumpkin obsession is in full swing right now too lol. Dunkin Donuts has a pumpkin macchiato that is amazing. I haven't decorated for Fall yet. I agree that it's too early. It sounds like you had a wonderful trip, and I'm glad you got home safely. Thank you so much for the pretty washi and goodies 💜 I really enjoy reading your letters.
Response: Hi Jennifer! This was a great swap! Definitely check out Paper Source's clearance section. Hit or miss, but I have found some cute washi there. Thanks for your nice comments and for the heart! Have a great weekend filled with Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Wow! Two letters, how lucky am I? I LOVE what you made for me. I love everything the most, but the hedgehogs made giggle - they're just so cute! Your trip to Canada sounds like a blast; I'd love to go camping on an island. It would be great to be next door neighbors, we could sing "Si and Gar" songs together. Thanks again for the cuteness, hope we're swapping partners again.

Comment: Hi Valerie :-) Thank you for such an interesting and well written inventory of your day and activities. And yours was done so concisely while still being completely thorough. This was the first time I joined a swap that wasn't art related, and mine wound up being 3 pages, though I did use bigger type out of habit. I know so many people who are older like me but can't see smaller type like I can. I am extremely near sighted. And thanks also for your letter. It was just as informative about you, if not more so. I plan to write you back because there's a lot to say but better not here because this is just supposed to be a rating LOL Thanks for extra items too :-)
Response: Hi Grace! So glad that you liked the re-cap of my day. I appreciate all the kind words, the nice rating, and the heart! I look forward to hearing from you! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Thank you for all the wonderful goodies! It was a treasure hunt going through the envelope. I love it. I've only been in Chicago to catch a connecting flight. I would love to visit and explore the city. It's been very hot and humid here in Indy. If I had my way, it would be 70 degrees year round lol. We aren't going anywhere this Summer because we went to Florida in January. The weather was amazing and we had such a good time. Enjoy the rest of the Summer 😸💜
Response: Hi Jen! Glad you liked all the paper goodies. Make sure you send me a note if you ever get to Chicago as I would love to be your tour guide! I just read an article which said Indy is the #1 city for Millennials because of its affordability and job market! YAY! Thanks for the nice rating and the heart! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Oh my gosh, Valerie, this was such a joy to receive! I love all the adorably, Halloweeny ephemera, and the fabric is spectacular. I loved the format of your charming letter too. I may have to steal that idea! Oh... and we have about half a dozen sewing machines, but none that we love so much as the 1950s Singer my husband found at a thrift store. Works like a dream, plus it doubles as a gorgeous conversation piece. So elegant. Anyway, thank you for all the extra effort you put into this swap! :)
Response: Hi Rachel! Thanks for the kind words about the swap. It was fun to put together! That fabric is one of my faves! I hope I can find some more this year! Glad you liked the letter format ... steal away!! :-) Thanks, too, for the heart! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Hi Valerie! Always great to swap with a fellow IL gal! LOL! Love the pc and stamps - I have only been to one postage stamp show but now that I have been, I am ready to go again! LOL! Do you have many near you? We only have the one that I am aware of! Your sewing retreat sounds like a good time (if you sew) and I think getting away is always a good thing! Thanks for the great share and for joining the swap! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: Thank you, Vicky, for the kind words, the nice rating, and the heart!! It's always good to swap with you! Check out www.msdastamp.com for Midwest stamp shows or google stamp shows. I found a whole list of shows across the country! Road trip! :-) Take care! Valerie

Comment: YOWZA Batgirl!!!! This bag is beyond FABULOUS!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And I like the inside so much I've already turned it inside out. Who knew they made newsprint fabric or numbers on fabric!?!? Not this little blonde paper crafter. I can't stop fondling it and admiring it. True love going on here.💕💕💕💕 The notecards and envelopes, the tiny rubber stamp...it's simply too much. I feel so very blessed. A simple thank you just won't do, so expect mail in return. And lest you think I didn't spot that 14 with the red stitching around it, think again. You're simply the BEST!!
Response: Hi Linda! I had lots of fun with this swap! :-) It's amazing what kind of fabric my extensive stash will yield on occasion! It stepped up to the plate with the number fabric! :-) Hope you get to put lots of goodies in the basket! Thank you for the nice rating and the heart! Have a great weekend! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: H Valerie! Thank you so much for the awesome package. I really like the bright purple and oranges you chose, and I think you trod the not-too-Halloweeny line nicely. My favorite items are the sparkly purple ribbon, and the fact that you included a tote tutorial. I did make some clothes for my daughter's doll! I made a fleece bathrobe and a dress, and then I got a new job and find myself with not much time to sew anything. I have also made a clutch and a zippered makeup pouch (for humans, not dolls), and I enjoy those smaller projects. I agree with you about the AG patterns. I tried crocheting Barbie clothes, and that was too tiny. The bigger dolls are much easier to make things for. I do still have my hens! We have 8 hens and a rooster currently. Before we got them I spoke with the town zoning people and was told that as long as the neighbors don't complain, we could have a cow. Yay! Not that I have space for a cow, but it's good to have the rules on my side. Have a happy thanksgiving and thanks again!
Response: Hi Laura! Thanks for answering all my questions ... I am jealous about the hens! I totally understand that it is so hard to carve out sewing time. It seems like everything else jumps ahead of it. Glad you liked the swap items ... thank you for the nice rating and the heart! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Valerie

Left a tray of them on the dining room table. Left the room for half an hour. Came back and one of the cats had knocked two of them onto the floor and was busy pulverizing them. A third one lay broken on the chair. (good job, Bazi, thanks for staying vigilant)

Your folder was very clever and your personal touches are so appreciated. Thank you, thank you so much!

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely postcard :) It is also summer and it's hot and muggy. And you just got back from Las Vegas! I am sooooo jealous of you. Anyway, I wish you have a happy August too :D (Btw, your handwriting is very neat and cute )
Response: Hi Mandy! So happy you received my postcard from Vegas! It was a fun trip! Being in the desert is a whole new experience. It's very beautiful but harsh at the same time! My handwriting has seen better days, but it helps to use those Sharpie pens! Thanks for the generous rating and the heart! Happy Swapping!

Comment: What an awesome package!!! I love all the note cards but I think my favorite is the one with the bird! Or the teacup one! LOL! Who am I kidding, I can't choose with such an awesome selection!!! And all the extra goodies! I love English Breakfast tea. I haven't tried the Prince of Wales tea or the Constant Comment tea. Can't wait to give them a whirl!!! I love the Washi tape samples. I have a bit of an addiction to washi tape. ;) And the little note pad is too cute! I don't always have good luck at the target dollar spot, but I do try! Awesome fun mail to open! Thank you so much! I wish I could give you a hundred hearts!!!
Response: Hi Michelle! So happy you liked this swap. I thought it was fun; I love note cards and my stash is growing! I know what you mean about the Target Dollar Spot - it is hit or miss and a lot depends on the store. Enjoy the tea! Thank you so much for the heart! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Valerie, There needs to be an option to add more than just one heart - I'd add a gillion more for you if I could - you went so far and beyond on this swap and I feel so special receiving it! It was as if it was my birthday! Thank you so very much!!!
Response: Aww ... you are too sweet! I had a lot of fun putting together this swap! I'm glad you liked it. I was so lucky to find that box - it worked out great! Thanks for the nice rating and the heart! Happy Swapping!

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful card! I love it. Hmmm about the lie... This is hard. I have no idea... I'll say 3. Your husband is 18 months younger.
Response: Hi Johanna! Glad you liked the card! Thank you for the nice rating and heart; I appreciate it! In the US, we have a saying that if you marry someone younger than yourself that you are robbing the cradle. Well, I robbed the cradle as my hubby is younger than me! My fib was my shoe size. I wish I had a small foot but alas, I have large feet! :-) Good guess, tho! Happy Swapping! Valerie

Comment: Hi Valerie! Thanks for the great Chicago pc! Yes, we do live at opposite ends of the state - yikes!! LOL! I haven't been to Chicago for several years - I think since I live near St. Louis, when we get away I would rather stay away from large cities (trust me Chicago is way larger than St. Louis, but...) plus I love the beach, so FL is my go to place!! LOL! So glad you are having fun there when you get to go though! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: Hi Vicky! So glad you received my PC of Chicago. Yeah ... it's quite the town, and I, too, like to get away from it all! I enjoy the mountains! My fave is Lake Tahoe! Thanks for the nice rating and the ♥! Valerie

Comment: Thank you, I love the bird postcard! I don't remember how I got interested in platypuses. I just have been intrigued by them for as long as I can remember! They are my favorite animals for sure. Oh, yes, it has been roasting hot here. 110 degrees plus the past two weeks! :( I have lived here all my life. You would think I would be used to it, but nope. I never get used to it. But I LOVE the winters and spring. Have a great day!
