Comment: I'm at a loss for words...the swap package is absolutely AWESOME!!! I adore everything. The dominoes are spectacular...I love them all, and especially love the surprise one. And what did you use for the round one? It is so cool! And then, the extras are enough for ten or more swaps. The fabric, amazing! The ribbons & fibers, so wonderful! The buttons, beads, brads & charms, love it all! The little jars they came in are so cute. The papers are amazing, and I can't wait to use them. And you even shared pages from your vintage books with me! And included a Jack & Jill magazine! Did you see that the center has paper dolls, one of which has a fairy costume?! I'm am definitely going to make that one :) You sent too much, but I'm delighted with all of it, which I know is what you intended. A million thanks for everything!! Oh, and your Diamond Glaze looks amazing! (I wish that stuff didn't despise me.)

Comment: I absolutely love my whimsy jar! That transparency was perfect! I love that fairy image and I am so excited to have it on my desk. You sent all kinds of great red and black craft goodies and the Santa stamp is cool. I don't have a stamp like that so it was a great choice. The Santa ornament will be great for my collection. I LOVE the owl pendant too! I secretly had hoped it was coming my way when you posted the photo of the 3 pendants you ordered. Thank you :) This was a wonderful swap package and I hope to swap with you again soon.
Response: I'm glad you like it Brooke! I have a few other little things on the way to you today since your package was so amazingly awesome! Thanks for swapping!

Comment: Oh, dearest Sydney and Hayley- what wonderful little artists you are. Bailey thanks you ten times over! She was soooo excited to open her package (she didn't even notice it was for her, just assumed it was for mom!-lol) So you can imagine her excitement, when she DID realize it was for her! And she is so grateful for your generosity with all the little extra goodies! It was like Christmas! She thanks you all soooo very much! We'd love to keep in touch. ;) Happy Saturday and extra hugs to ya! Luv, Bailey (& Bailey's mom)
