Hi, just trying to contact you again so that I can finish off the Children's Christmas Card swap and mark this swap as sent. Can you please let me know your children's names.
Hi Kellie,
Thank you so much for the envie I found today in my mailbox. It was a huge surprise. The first to minutes I tried to recognize which swap or tag that must be from, but I didn't find an answer. This is so nice of you, I'm so happy about it. And you saved my day, because I have a terrible cold and feeling not well at all. Thank you really much!

Hi there! I'm one of your swap buddies from the "Leave a Comment" swap and I love the aprons you made (shown on your blog). I have that book too and love it, but haven't tried any yet. Like you I took the book to the copy shop and had them do the patterns for me - $15 for one pattern! I guess it was worth it because like you said, doing it yourself is very time consuming (and I have 3 kids that I homeschool, so when I have time to craft I want to craft, not copy and tape patterns). Anyway, I have my pattern now but ironically my 9 yo daughter took a beginning sewing class a couple of weeks ago and has commandeered my sewing machine! There's barely a time when she's not on it, so finding time to make my apron has not been easy. LOL Oh well, I've been focusing on hand sewing/embroidery instead until she backs off (not that I really want her to, I love it that she loves it). Anyway, I look forward to looking at all of your things more closely - so far everything I've seen I love! Have a great day and happy crafting -

Howdy! : )
I was just checking out your blog, and it is so cute! I love the crowns you make especially the ones with a fairy tale theme. I can totally see how little girls would love them. It's a really neat blog.
I think it's wonderful that you work in such a creative field with little kids. I substitute sometimes to suplement my student loans, but I can't handle kids that young. I also try to stay out of the art room since there's such potential for catastrophe! : ) So that makes me doubly glad for people like you who are willing to do it. Kids need to learn how to express themselves in safe and (hopefully) positive ways. Thank you!
It was nice to internet meet you. See you around.
Hi Kellie Greetings from Germany! I also have son -he's just 10 months old and at the moment he starts walking! Your needle work is amazing! I always wished to know sewing - but I'm not so talented :o(. Have a great day!! Sissi
Thank you again! I weared the apron today for the first time. And I tried the embroidery yarn. I love it!
I hope we meet in other swaps again and it will be my turn to send you something.
