Comment: On April 9, which was a day after the mailing deadline, you told me that you had my package ready to go but were out of town and would mail it when you got back to town. It has been more than 20 days since then and you've signed up and been rated for other swaps though I haven't heard anything else from you. I'll rerate if I receive anything.
Response: I am terribly sorry to hear you did not get my envie. Indeed, we have had a very difficult month as my mother in law died unexpectedly and we were away for a couple of weeks. During that time I asked a co-worker to go into my studio to mail some envies for me - she claims she did it :( To top things off for more than 2 weeks I suffered from an intense bout of vertigo that had me flat on my back, out of work and unable to drive. Today is the first day I feel somewhat better and I drove to the post office to resend your swap envie, I do hope you get it soon but keep in mind I am mailing from Mexico :( Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Comment: I especially like the education one! Art, music, dance, etc. are all so important and yet they are kept for the well-off... Such a shame! One day I think education will be free for all and fit to meet people's needs!

Comment & Quote - take 2

I am in my last semester of being a preschool teacher, I love teaching. I think it's one of the best jobs out there! I think Mitch Albom is a great author, my favourite book is "Tuesdays with Morrie," it made me cry!

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie

Sarita, thank you so much for the Inchie RAK. I really like what you created and thanks so much for the Spanish book pages and the bus tickets. Can't wait to find the way to incorporate them into an ATC or Skinny...or something. =)
