Comment: Great picks, thank you so much! And I'm sure you're probably sick of hearing it, but Walla^2 is the best town name, and I'm delighted to have a postcard from there now <3
Comment: Thank you for the fun items...and what a wonderful surprise to find a couple sheets of kitty stationary!!! I had the exact stationary years ago! Talk about a blast from the past!!! And I'd give a million hearts to you if I could for giving me that nostalgic moment. Happy mail day! Happy swapping
Comment: I love the card you made me. I love foxes and owls. Your gratitude list is a lot like mine❣️ Enjoy the upcoming holidays. Oh also, I love the washi tape you tucked in.
Comment: What a fun swap this was!! So, the very first thing I did before I even opened your package was text my family and tell them Paula the Koala sent me a Package from Walla Walla 😂 If you don’t know that kids song look it up. My daughter used to be obsessed with it. I loved the collection of items you put together to show who you are. I will incorporate them into my own crafting and they will become part of who I am 💕
Comment: Thank you for sharing such a great list of books to consider! They all sound so good. I appreciate the lovely things you added inside the card! Peace…
Comment: Hi Sarah! Nice fall card. I like the black background - is it painted? I have that boot stamp too, it's so adorable - looks very fallish with the metallic leaves! How did the county fair go this year? I agree about the grass...a lot of work, gardens are much prettier prettier 🌺🌻 what is your favorite perennial? Thank you!
Comment: I loved the variety of items you sent! Thank you for the thought filled happy mail. It has been such a blessing all month to receive each item and I appreciate the effort you put into your swaps. :)
Comment: Omg so many goodies!! I love the floral stickers, the old music paper is amazing and I love the little floral steampunk envie - looks like you may have made it your self - can't wait to use that! Did you paint the watercolor floral card yourself? It's awesome! And I love the tan folded tuck envelope thingy, I love getting different examples of these and then trying to recreate them for swaps later! Seriously a great gem of a swap! Ty!!!!
Comment: Thanks for the Harriett Tubman postcard and sharing about yourself as a child. I don't remember if I asked a lot of questions or not. I probably thought I already knew everything 😂
Comment: Thank you for the paper doll pc and list of board games. The pc reminds me of my Aunt who would draw paper dolls and clothes for my sister and I to color and cut out. She's very talented. :)
Comment: Thank you for the nicely made homemade card! I really like it and the postive vibes card. I hope your Holidays are everything you wish for and more! Hugs, Brenda
Comment: Thank you so much for your beautiful card! It's precious and will definitely be displayed with joy. The fall really did seem to go by so quickly! I'm excited that we're in December now, though! You have me curious about why sugar cookies are your enemy now, though... :-P What you're doing for your community sounds lovely. God bless you for what you do! I hope you have a very merry Christmas!
Comment: Thank you for telling me about the downsides of your former "dream job" - I am with you, I imagine all the good things (and I am sure in small towns like the one I live in it will often be a reality)...
Comment: Hi Sarah <3 Fall is my favorite and I'm enjoying the changing weather and colors of the leaves. We recently started to get rain. I hope you have an amazing time in Chicago! I live 2.5 hours from there. I laughed out loud when you said you hoped it wouldn't be too windy. Did you know they call Chicago "The Windy City?" Ah, but maybe you do and that is why you said you hoped it wasn't so windy lol. Thank you for the goodies in the card. The card was also beautiful. Have a safe trip!
Comment: Cute card. Postal stamping shows through on picture side.
Glad I didn't have to move
away. I can believe that losing your toys and books hurt at the age of six. Come and de-clutter where I live. Too many belongings and not enough space now.
Comment: Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for the awesome handmade notecards. They’re really cute. I am placing my wrapped gifts with others to be opened on Christmas.. I ❤️ the fabric you chose to wrap my gifts.
Comment: This M postcard is perfect! Melancholy is also a wonderful M word, even if it doesn't feel the greatest. Here's hoping that the world brings you joy this week, friend! ♥
Comment: I looked up the color RAINSTORM that had me intrigued,,, It reminded me of the sky in Iowa on our trip to Nebraska. It was so eerie and that color I was having a panic attack during that storm. I hate being in the car during a storm. Love your list though cute card too. thank you 8/22
Comment: Love the postcard of Joseph, Oregon! Cool list of J things about you... I love your Jesus insights- Right On! Peace always and keep joking and judging cuz human... Happy Swaps
Comment: Thank you for the Route 66 pc and your nice message. It sounds like you have some fun things planned for the summer. We're hoping to take my dad on a train ride to Eugene to see my sister. It's nice to be able to travel about the country now. :)
Comment: very appropriate card for me this weekend...Memorial day weekend 1978 I was on the back of my then boyfriend/ now 1st husband's back of the motorcycle. We were hit by a car and I spent the next 6 weeks in traction with a broken femur, fibula and tibia and a crushed ankle. So yeah I did break some bones. thank you so much for the card and I pray you never break a leg. 5/28
Comment: Thanks so much for the Arkansas postcard---peanut shells on the floor sounds about right! Ha! Are you still in Walla2? We grew up in Pendleton/Baker City. Hope all's well!
Comment: Love the postcard, even better that you have been through Kentucky :D When I think Kentucky I sadly only think about the movie Next of Kin with Patrick Swayze.
Comment: I used to live in Tucson and I LOVED it! It is hot as Hades, for sure, but the humidity in NJ when it's 70 degrees is nastier than the 120 DRY heat of Tucson!! not even kidding! LOL
Happy Spring! x gabi
Comment: Sarah, thank you so much for all the amazing goodies you sent my way. I love it all and the extras you sent. I will be adding my postcards to my collection ♥️ Thank you!
Comment: Thank you for the nice surprise in the swap!!All the extras are wonderful! The tag is cute, might try to paint her! Thanks for the postcards and note card. Laughed when I saw the car stickers!!! Thanks again!
Comment: Thank you for the great swap! I love all the bits and pieces you tucked into the envelope! everything will go to great use!! Have a great day! xx Gabi
Comment: Thank you so much, Sarah, for the lovely swap. I really liked the polka dot ribbon and the flocked chandelier notecard - I’m a sucker for something with texture! Have a great 2022! 😊
Comment: What awesome vintage cards of California. We are only a few hours from some of the place so I love it!! Your hometown area is so beautiful thanks for sharing that also. I hope you having a great weekend!
Comment: Hi Sarah! I am an empty nester too. It was quiet when my son moved out, but now I'm finding things to do and I'm very lucky to have a great group of friends! My hubby doesn't do much with me. He loves his man cave and is not one to be around groups or 'do things'. Feel free to DM me if you ever want to chat! :)
Comment: Thank you so much for the fun box! :) I love everything, ( yes, I couldn't wait til my birthday to open it! Lol....what can I say, restraint has never been my strong suit!) Thank you, thank you! :)
Comment: Thank you Sarah for the postcards. It's so much fun getting so many at one yime! I think I'm going to color the coloring postcard you sent. And yes. It's nice meeting a fellow Washingtonian! I'm fully vaccinated. How about you? I love thrifting so I may drive up to shop. Would you like to meet for lunch sometime? Take care. Alma
Comment: I always enjoy your letters. Your vacations sounds just what the doctor ordered for me! :). I will write back soon. I am happy to hear life is treating you well!
Comment: Thank you for your letter! I loved your cute stationery. I got my first vacc. dose the other day and it wasn't so bad at first, but the night after was a little rough on that arm. Like your daughter, I'm excited for school to come out of virtual classes and for things to come back to normal. Online classes get very tiresome after a while. I think it's lovely you're a part of a quilt guild and that your clients get a quilt with the house, I'd love that. :) I hope you have a good week!
Comment: Thank you so much for all of the beautiful floral goodies! The handmade card was delightful and I can't wait to use the other things in my projects :) Thanks again!
Comment: Hi Sarah,
I apologize if I have been slow in rating you. However, I want you to know that I appreciate the items you sent me for this swap. swap. Each item you sent will be used. I love the postcards and will add them to my collection. The other supplies will be wonderful for artistic endeavors.
I think this is our first time swapping with one another. The has been happening a lot to me, swapping with new swappers. I hope we get to swap again in the future. Until then, Happy Swapping.
Mail in and out of Colorado continues to be slow. Please be Patient! Thank You!

Comment: What a fun envelope! I'm making my daughter a garden themed flip book /journal with lots of bee things (here middle name starts with a "B" so she's always been HollyBee). I'm going to remove the elements on you great envelope to use in her book! So thank you for that. AND thank you for the really cute card and for including such a lovely "ode." Very special.
Comment: Sarah,
I love your swap. The fish stationary was great, and the fabric pieces are amazing. The cows are too cute!! Thanks for the lovely letter, I love hearing of your quilting adventures. I used to give quilts to family and friends who had babies so I wouldn't hoard quilts. You rock!! Thanks!
Comment: OMG!!! I got my box today, and I absolutely LOVE everything!!!! Thank you for all my stuff, and the wonderful glimpse of your state!!! If I could give you more than one heart, I would!!! This was an absolutely amazing swap!!!! Thank you again!!!!
Comment: Thank you for your nice letter. It brought to mind one of my favorite opinions about happiness - you can't enjoy the good times if you never have any bad times. (or like some people - ignore or suppress the bad times) We need to feel all the feels! Also your stationery was fantastic.
Comment: Thank you so much for your card, joke and quote! Also for the quilt pattern. I need to get back to my quilting. Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: You are a lot braver than me. I would have never gone in if people were not wearing masks. The places I’ve gone here in my town they all wear masks. Stay safe!!!! TYVM for the lovely PC! I’ve never been to WA.
Comment: I love what you wrote in your card. It is sad when traditions end. But the fact you've been able to find some good in the communities around you shows so much strength. I needed to read that, I've had a hard time being in quarantine this year. Reading that made me realize what I myself have missed. Thank you so much for your words and the goodies. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New years!
Comment: Thank you for an amazing swap! I love it all. You really did well. I cannot wait to use the craft items and enjoy the other treats. Thank you and enjoy the holidays!
Comment: Haha I know right where you used to live. We live across the Hwy. a lot has changed they’re building so much over here. My husband HATES how cold and wet it is now. But loves the summers. He would move to Walla Walla in a heart beat. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Comment: Hi! Thank you for a variety of things! I'm especially inspired by the book page. Not sure if I'll use it to decorate an envelope or a card... Thanks for everything! Hope you have an awesome day!
Comment: I LOVED reading your letter! Our family life is oddly similar. My 22 (recently graduated daughter) just asked to move back in and my son is a senior in high school. :). TOO funny. So glad it's been a busy real estate year! Hope you had a spectacular Thanksgiving. I loved the cards. They are so beautiful!
Comment: Thank you! I love all of the items. I will be using them for sure. Thank you for sending items I do not have, I love them and I will be definitely using them. This is why I joined swapbot. Thanks! Love it!
Comment: I enjoyed...thank you❣️ I had forgotten several shows that you mentioned so it was fun to reminisce but I never heard of Solid Gold or at least I don’t remember it.
Comment: I love the handmade card. I am so sorry that your dad has been dealing with those issues. I would love to send him a card if you want. The housing market here in the Bay Area is crazy. I am looking for a new apartment, but things are still ridiculous but they are offering incentives so I am optimistic that I will find something soon. Have a great day!
Comment: Thank you so much for the yummy tea and the lovely note! It sounds like you are almost ready for winter! We are all getting ready as well. There are a couple more weeks of mowing yet to come and quite a few leaves to rake haha!! We LOVE Autumn!! You are right... winter is a nice sleep--- I am looking forward to the fireplace, nice warm cups of tea and cocoa and crafting!!
I hope your daughter gets the classes she wants! I have an almost 17 year old daughter and one that is almost 19 and in college (from home) Both are doing online classes. Labs are especially difficult from home. We're hoping that she will at least have labs on campus in Spring... fingers crossed that covid blows away for good --- SOON!
xx Gabi
Comment: Thank you for the lovely bookmail. This is actually an Alice Hoffman I haven’t read yet so I’m really excited to dig into it. I love the candle as well I can’t wait to light it while I read. I’m obsessed with fall candles right now especially because it’s been so hot here in Florida & I miss autumn weather. I love the journal and the stickers and the bookmark as well thank you so much for all the lovely goodies and for taking part in my swap. Hope you have a great day, stay healthy and happy swapping!
Comment: Hi Sarah! How are you? Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome swap - I love all the goodies so very much, and the way you decorated the envelope is gorgeous! Did you paint the flowers yourself? I love it so much! Thank you so much for everything!!!
Comment: LOVE LOVE the fabrics! I have always wanted the Tula Pink green racoons so I am excited to fussy cut this into a creation! Thank you so much!!
Comment: thanks sorry for the delay as the dr has taken my old headache meds and am waiting on prior authorization and its been about a month or two headaches never go away smh
Comment: Sarah! Wow! Thank you so much for this beautiful hand crafted Halloween card. I love the embossed spider webs as the background, and the cute rubber stamp bats! I love receiving homemade cards! Thank you so much! Happy Halloween!
Comment: WOW! What a thoughtful and amazing swap! I LOVED it all. I loved the watercolor, the stickers and especially the letter. I'm sending you a response. THANKS
Comment: Thank you for all the green goodies! I LOVE all of it. It brightened my day. I hope you enjoyed you hike, I looked up Oregon Butte and it looks beautiful!
Comment: Wow, thank you!. The card is beautiful, it completely brightened my day. I especially loved the letter, it is my favorite part of swapping. I love reading about other's peoples lives and interests. You not only impressed me, but inspired me with your challenges. I am planning on a 50 mile backpack trip next summer and was thinking this week how I need to start training, your 100 mile challenged has given me some ideas of my own. I am also trying to read the scriptures. In June I set the goal to have them read by Oct. 1. I am running out of time, but I think I will make it. :). Thanks again!
Comment: Sarah, thank you so much for your beautiful hand-made card/letter and all of the wonderful washi tapes you enclosed. I LOVE your drawings on the envelope too! You really brightened my day, and I WILL be in touch. :o)
Comment: Hi Sarah, yes great idea! I love your handmade card with the pineapple! My stepdaughter is a freshman and I made her a recipe book. She was in the dorm so she didn’t use it much. But she is learning to cook and I’m sure she will put it to use this second year now that she’s out of the dorms. Good luck to your daughter too!
Comment: Sarah, wow, it's always a joy receiving happy mail from you! The package I received today was absolutely fun to open!!! Spilling the random goodies on my kitchen table with my daughter was so much fun, it felt like Christmas for both of us haha!! My daughter took the cupcake washi tape from me! Oh my, thank you so much :)
Comment: The handmade floral notecard was beautiful! Thank you for the stickers too! I"m a bit surprised that people are wanting to buy houses in this current economy, very interesting.
Comment: Thank you so much for the variety of goodies you sent me! I'm going to definitely use everything! I have to say the handmade notecard and envelope are pretty creativity!
Comment: What a great swap you sent. I love the handmade goodness and I can't believe you found a red panda and he hugged my presents! Excellent choices and it came at a good time. I have had a bad week.
Comment: Thanks for the cute notecard and stickers. Welcome to SwapBot! My only suggestion would be to put the swap name on your note, so it would be easier to rate you. Have a great week!
