Hi Margie I am Lilly's grandma [coolbeans] just wanted to say a BIG thanks for Lilly's package she love all the items, she even put the red and white sweater on her teddy right then.and she smiled First smile in a time I am taking pictures of her look in my Flickr photos
I want to give a more personable thank you again for all the Leo items. The horoscope and description of a leo was fun to read, the beautiful leo images, the SUNflower seeds. I will be displaying the leo ornament for now but then I will put it on my tree in the winter, it is so cool. The leo cup is fit for a king-with the gold tassles, pretty images, symbols and "crest" if you will. I haven't read all the info/horscopes inside but will enjoy doing so this week as it is almost my birthday. Thanks! Really fun package to discover and enjoy :)
THANK YOU for the amazing altered barbie. I love your interpretation of the Death tarot card and it is going to be prominently displayed in my collection. You are awesome!
Hey, I just had to leave a comment after reading that second paragraph on your profile. AWESOME! That is one of the coolest things I've seen since I've been on swap-bot... offering to send to people "no strings." You ROCK! If I ever host any swaps I think I'll put that in my byline! Wouldn't it be cool if more hosts started doing that?
Thanks so much for swapping book pages with me! They are great-yours will be in the mail tomorrow. (sorry it took so long, I missed the PO today due to a chiropractor appt)
Thank you for the absolutely amazing RAK you sent me! The brooch is gorgeous, and I look forward to using it now. This was such a thoughtful gift from you!!!
lol That would be YOUR. (Don't'cha hate that?)
