General Comments

Dear Fellow Swappers, I am relatively new to swap-bot but I am a responsible swapper. I have been a penpal for over 30 years and have circle journals that I have been swapping with five different people. One of the circle journals has been in circulation for over five years. Finally, I write in my own journals on a daily basis.

The reason that I mention these facts is that I want everyone to realize that I do not flake on swaps. If you do not receive my swap within one week of the end of the swap, please have the courtesy of contacting me so that we can figure out what went wrong. Regardless of the reason (mail in New York does get lost), I will correct the situation.

Comment: Hello Russ, I received your fabulous postcard for the HPC:The Season Swap: Summer" Swap. I appreciate you reading my profile and changing the background color to purple because that was my favorite color. I really love the silhouette and it looks great on the purple and I see Miami. I think this is the first time we have met on Swap-bot, but I feel very fortunate. I hope we meet down the road again. Until then, Happy Swapping and much success with your book.

I can't begin to thank you enough for all the magazines you sent me. They are fantastic! You are so generous. If there is ever anything I can do for you just drop me a line and let me know. I really appreciate the mags. They are so inspiring I can't wait to get started on some things. Thanks again, Mary p.s. It sounds as though your work is amazing. You should put some pics of it online to share with us. Good Luck in the furture.
