Comment: WOW!!! As usual, my packages were perfect. It's almost like you can read my mind or see what I'm doing - spooky but fun:) The velvet ribbon is gorgeous, especially the royal blue. I love all little embellishments - especially the UK pack! I will be reading all my new magazines tonight after I finish up here. I have other things I need to do, but reading will be much more fun!!! The Lush stuff is outstanding - I was just looking at it on Amazon.com today on my lunch hour. The gloves go perfectly with my new shawl/sweater wrap I bought this morning. See, you really can read my mind!!! Thank you again for a wonderful package of just the right things. Hearts and hugs to you:)

I still can't believe you made me even one, let alone two:) I've always wanted one and now I have two very special ones! The little kits are perfect take-a-longs and I can't wait to start on one. The magazines were totally unexpected and so exciting to get. They will be my bedtime reading tonight:) I'm saving my chocolate for after lunch tomorrow when I can enjoy it (and not have to share)! Everything is just perfect and I so appreciate all the time and thought that went into everything. You are an awesome swapper and a terrific friend<3

Smudge: I have known for years that there are many wonderful people in this world, and a lot of them are right here on Swap-bot. Your kind and generous offer to join a group of special angels --- helping me to make and send a total of 210 handmade ornaments for those who were flaked on in the MEGA Christmas 2009 Ornament Swap --- is VERY much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I can ever do anything to help you out in return, please let me know. (“;) Hugs, Terry

Thank you so much for the altoid-like tins you sent me for the June wishlist. They are perfect because I intend to embelish them anyway...good to see I can get more of these from Marks too if I need them. I didn't know that.
