Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely delicate washi samples, Emily Ruth! The tiny people on the office supplies are my fave. Your trip sounds lovely, thanks for sharing! I was just in upstate New York where my grandpa sometimes sees bears, but not this time around. xx Kristyn
Comment: Oh gosh Emily, this mail absolutely made my day! Thank you for the lovely note and wonderful selection of designs you put together! (extra thanks for the inclusion of the gilded ones ;) I especially love the ampersand one! <3 I also *love* the stamps you used to decorate the envelope! You have to share where you got them!!
Response: Aw yay! I'm so so glad you enjoyed it!! The stamps are from an american brand called Notebook Therapy. They create some of my most favorite themes and designs. Take such good care! <3
Comment: Thank you for the washi tapes. I don't mind word/number tapes. It's perfect with school starting in a month here. I love the rubber stamped images used!
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful mail, and your kind and wise words! I absolutely love the theme and the items you picked out for me. You are so thoughtful <3 I hope your wedding celebration was wonderful and I will take your advice to heart! Hope to swap again!
Comment: Hi Emily Ruth, and thank you for the absolutely gorgeous pink peony envelope and all the goodies packed inside. We have a peony 'bush' outside our shed and it always fascinates me that ants 'eat open' the blossoms! Thanks for your lovely letter (love the Alaska stationery). Our state flower is the carnation and I have never EVER seen carnations growing anywhere!
Response: I didn't know that about the ants! Thanks for sharing. So glad you enjoyed it. <3
Comment: I always enjoy getting paired up with you! I love the rubber stamps you used on the envelope and the washi you sent me is really fun! I love the one with the people at the beach.
Comment: Hi, thankyou for the stickers, and the cute little ghost! I loved it, so cute ╰(*°▽°*)╯And the washis are awesome too, and the bookmark too!!! You're the greatest, thankyou!~
Comment: Thank you Emily Ruth! Everything you sent is super! The envelope and the card, the washi samples so many thank you! And the papers and stickers they are all good fun!
Comment: What a lovely bunch of treasures you've sent my way!! From the beautiful green grid envelope with floral stamps to all the gifts you've included - this was such a treat to receive. All the ledger (?) papers, wow!! I can never find them anywhere! Thank you for sharing your wonderful stash and curating a mail so perfectly to my likes (or we have the same style haha!) and please never worry about not being creative enough <3 :D
Comment: What wonderful calligraphy and such a pretty envelope as well. I've already used one of your practice page sentences in my art journal! I, too, appreciate calligraphy in part because it requires you to slow down. I'm looking forward to the next calligraphy swap. Thanks for the extras, especially the Totoro bookmark, and also for the book recommendation.
Comment: Hello Emily Ruth ;+) Wow . . . I just loved the swap you sent--so many wonderful postage-themed items and info. I just LOVE all the stamps you created and that pretty stationery. I regularly buy stamps from an ebay seller and I'm going to see if he has those arctic animal stamps--I'm a sucker for animal stamps! You did brighten my day and I'll have fun using it all!
Response: Aw yay! I'm so glad to hear it. This was one of my most favorite themed swaps I've ever participated in and I'm so glad you were my partner. Would you mind messaging me with the ebay sellers handle? I'd love to check them out! Take care!
Comment: This was so fun to open, the envelope, letter sets and extras were all so adorable! I had a huge grin on my face while opening all of it!! thank you sooo much and I hope you are having a lovely day!
Comment: Thank you for the tea, ginger and lemon is my favorite believe ir or not. Gonna tuck it in my suitcase and use it on our trip next week to Banff Canada. The Pairs picture is lovely to look at, I like watercolor pictures.
Comment: Thank you for all the fun stuff:-). I can't wait to play in my mixed media album! Thank you for sharing a bit of your stash Have a great day and happy swapping!:-)
Comment: Thank you for the strawberries sketch! And thanks for the stickers and cute pouch. Truly darling. That strawberry envelope is my favorite! 🍓🍓🍓
Comment: Thank you so much for the letter and goodies! I also journal everyday to help me decompress from my anxiety and to document the good things that happen. You were right about me also being in to fountain pens! Watching YouTube videos of the different inks got me hooked!
Comment: Wow!! Everything is so great!! The envelope is adorable!! And the Pusheen drawing is also adorable :) I also really love all the extras!! Thank you so so much! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Comment: Loved your letter and absolutely loved all the goodies. Would give multiple hearts if possible, thank you.
P.S. would you like to receive a letter back from me at least answering your questions?
Comment: This swap is so cute, I love everything! I do have a fountain pen (and quite a few inks), though I never remember to use it! I'll take this as my sign to get it out and start using it again!
Comment:
Thank you for the envelope full of goodies - I just loved them! I also loved the homemade envelope and I'm a bit jealous of your awesome handlettering! :) Truly, thank you so much!
Comment: Dear Emily, thank you very much for this wonderful and beautiful swap! ^-^ I had a lot of fun reading your letter and thank you very much for the stunning goodies and the recommendation. I'm going to check it out. Yours, Maxi
Comment: Thank you for all the great paper goodies, the happiness greeting card is my favourite and I love the cat envelope. Happy swapping & much love 😻
Comment: This was the perfect start of autumn for me ❤︎ I was in love as soon as I saw the beautiful envelopes you made, and the content was even better. I'm looking through all the goodies just now, and I'm overwhelmed by joyful autumn vibes. I can't wait to use some of it for my autumn crafts! The hand-drawn pumpkins are particularly adorable. Thank you SO much, you made my week.
Comment: Such a cute envelope design! I loved your ghost sketch and stickers, thank you so much for an awesome little swap! The ghosts definitely made me happy.
Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome letter and extras!! I am very new in my fountain pen journey as well. I got my first one this year for my birthday - a waterman from the 90's and I had to learn all about how to use it. Then I became obsessed with collecting inks and visiting pen shops. I have been using a lot of dip type pens because I like shimmery inks. They are not nearly as smooth as a proper fountain pen but I love the results. Happy Swapping! -Mia
Comment: Hey! I got my swap materials from you today and they’re so awesome! You sent such a nice variety! I love it! Thank you so much for making my day!

It's all perfect and I am so beyond grateful for everything:) This all means the whole entire world to me! Thank you so so very much again<3<3
Comment: Hi Emily! So sorry for the delayed rating! I hope you are loving your hobonichi so far this year. I also picked up the Weeks with a February start because I could not resist the adorable cover 😭 I’ve been using it regularly to remember “one thing a day” and it’s nice that even when I’m too busy to journal I have that one thing. 💕 please take care and have a happy summer! - Bee
Comment: Thank you for the poem and extras! I really needed to hear that as I've been trying to make a greater effort this week to slow down and control my energy better. Thank you!
Comment: You are a wonderful letter writer. I love how you decorated your letter and envelope. You really put a thought into your letter too. The extra washi tape stickers made my heart so happy. I too love Schitt's Creek... I was so sad when it was over. Thank you so much for joining my swap. I plan to host another one soon.
