Comment: Hi Kathleen, I received my Little House ATC yesterday, I Love It!! It's so quirky, I wish I could go inside :-) & the way you made it so it could stand... Amazing! Also Thank you for the crocheted little star, such pretty colors. Such a nice surprise in my mailbox. Thanks Again, Tina Kowalski

Comment: Thanks for your lovely list! My fave was the manatee website haha

Comment: Most awesome recommendations :) the Mountian Goats = interesting band, i will def be listening to more :) I <3 manatees :)

Comment: Thanks for sharing the recommendations. The calmingmanatee website is so cool!

Comment: Your timing is perfect! Walking back from the mailbox I felt that envie and said Vintage.....Gramma kind. When I opened it, the Get Well was meant for me. Having some big physical challenges right now. BUT> The ATC, I can't tell you what it means to me. It's on display because we just lost that dog a few weeks ago. Chose her from a breeder before she was born. LOVE her so much, had her 10 yrs. She'd never had pups until last year accidently bred by a friends dog and thank God we kept one look a like pup. She was a great spokesdog for the breed, sweet and gentle. Everything you sent was great, but Thanks for the drawing, it really means a lot!! = ) Your mail made my day! ♥♥♥♥♥

Comment: Thank you for the recommendations. I like manatees too:)

Comment: I LOVE it! I put up an Easter tree and it has bunnies chicks ducks flowers fairies and mushrooms so both will go on the tree. That was great ;)

Comment: Loved this card! Great painting!

Comment: Thank you so much for the Harry Potter owl and theme-I love it! it is the first HP themed card I have, I missed all those swaps. I already miss the books and movies.

Comment: Thank you so much. The ATC is beautiful, and the extra homemade mermaid bookmark is just amazing. You definitely have talent! I also wanted to apologize for the late rating. Please forgive me?

Comment: I will have to check out "Countdown". Thanks for the recommendation. Great Native American postcard, too! Love the flower stamp, too.

Comment: What a beautiful ATC! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making it for me. Thanks for the stamped images and paper extra's.They will be used!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely ATC's! Hearts to you! :P

Comment: I loved the letter! Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for a very interesting letter and I LOVE the Scarab ATC :)

Comment: So awesome!! Lovely letter, thank you so much, AND for the tuck-in... my favorite part, though, was the back of the envelope, the FIREFLIES!!! Wow! :) Yes, we can do a swap anytime you want, just let me know!!

Comment: You rock! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I chuckled at the envelope, I loved the ATCs and then I read your lovely letter... Wait! What's this!? An extra (tiny) surprise? For me!? You are the best. Bob

Comment: Omg, I was archiving this & realized that my rating didn't save, I'm so sorry! I received this on Friday. The bookmark is out of this world, it's gorgeous & I absolutely love it! Love the style you went for & love the mediums you chose to implement your design. The extra trilobite is adorable, you really made my day & by far, this is my most faved bookmark in my possession ever! Thank you! You deserve lots of hearts for this! ♥ ♥ ♥

Comment: This handmade bookmark was awesome and I loved your Lisa Simpson decorated envelope. Thank you so much :-D

Comment: I really love the two profile based bookmarks and the note with book recommendations. This swap really showed how even a simple flat mail swap can be very special.

Comment: I apologize for not rating you sooner. I love your little monster! I don't know how you crocheted something so tiny. I have it hanging for inspiration.

Comment: What a totally delightful swap package! I LOVE the catalope (hah!) and the text that goes with him is perfect! I really like the other ATC, too - the backgrounds on both cards are beautiful. Thanks for the Crafster tip and the cool Chinese text and the cat stamps and the fun letter. Thank you, thank you for an awesome swap!!!!!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely felted patch. It looks very sweet and am happy you made me something so nice!

Comment: Thanks so much :) You could also make them into magnets,hair bows and pins :)

Comment: Oh how I wish there were a button to give you a hundred stars! Many, many, many thanks for a fantasticly creative song-inspired ATC along with a whole other amazing bonus ATC! You rock!

Comment: Hey Kathleen;) Thanks for the Tentacle Bookmark;) I was thinking you should start making these to sell. Perhaps not the top part because it technically isn't the Tentacle, but if you made a long crocheted piece and several Tentacles at the bottom, I bet they'd make great sellers! Perhaps you could find a way to send them so that they remain curled. Its a great idea and I thank you also for your comments on my Etsy shop!

Comment: Cute poem especially for a dog lover like me, thank you!!

Comment: Love the Atc and poem

Comment: thank you, I like the postage stamp you used also!

Comment: Very cute :) Thanks so much :)

Comment: Thank you for the Garfield PC.....will place it with my collection...and I really like the quote, will use it in one of my journals......

Comment: Kathleen thanks for the amazing quote, the postcard is a beauty too, washington looks really lovely.

Comment: Thank you Kathleen for your beautiful card. I really like it. Take care. Chobbits

Comment: Tentacow! Bwahahaha! Love it!! Thank you for brightening my day, and my desk!!!

Comment: Great stamped images! Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for all the new reading ideas! My favorite YA author of historical fiction is Ann Rinaldi. I love the little pink elephant on the bookmark you painted!

Comment: Got your lovely little book today. I loved the wire you incorporated into the cover - very creative! Of all the many binding methods I've tried, I haven't actually done a stab binding like yours - but I think I might give it a try now that I've seen yours. Sending you a few of my little books as a thank you. :)

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful card--I love it! And I love your "Valen-ween" --that should be a real holiday! I may have to borrow that term.

Comment: Thank you so much for reading my profile and creating a lovely atc! I appreciate all of the extras too:) Spring is just around the corner!

Comment: I love, love, love the ATC! I'm so envious of those of you who can create awesome display-worthy ATCs! And the extras are awesome too--that includes the note you included! Thanks!

Comment: kathleen, this was such a fun little swap, kind of fun to make our own rendition of what a "garden" is:)... i loved your note and your watercolor veggie garden is perfect! thanks so much for a special ATC...happy swappage!

Comment: Thanks for the recommendations. Love the links.

Comment: Thanks for the recommendations! You know you're on the right track when half the suggestions are things I already admire. Big fan of From Hell (I even kinda enjoyed the movie in a dire sort of way, but then I'm a sucker for cravats...) - I agree about how spooky it is. And Amanda Palmer, and peoplewatching. I've been almost about to start Carnivale for several years too. Looking forward to devouring the music, trying the recipes and the rest - from your description, I'm thinking Zodiac will definitely be my cup of tea. Thank you once again, and I hope this finds you well :)

Comment: Oh my stars, where to start! I so appreciate your customizing your list for me, and for providing such amazing links. To respond to just a few things--I will definitely look for Vintage Veronica, I LOVE The Station Agent, and I've always wanted to make tiny books, so the tutorial is much appreciated. Also--earlier this summer, my husband and I went to the place where Carnivale was filmed--am leaving you a link as a comment on your profile. Thanks so much Kathleen! So enjoyed reading your list. :)

Comment: Thanks! I like the rats in love card too :)

Comment: Mmmm bread. I love different types of bread, one day I hope to try making my own tiger bread! :D x

Comment: Thank you for my lovely card and Halloween-y stuff!

Comment: The lemon-almond cookies looked delicious. I like the butterfly shape of the cookies. With monarchs just arriving during the past couple of weeks in Minnesota, seeing anything butterfly-related is so uplifting. Have a great weekend.

Comment: Thanks so much for the letter - I enjoyed reading it. I likedThe Great Gatsby in high school but have been afraid to revisit it and find out I don't like it nearly as much anymore! Good to know that you did enjoy it on re-read. I loved the bookmark and thought it was such a great representation of The Wind Up Bird Chronicle - excellent job!

Comment: thank you thankyou! These look so good. I like that its a small batch also. Can't wait for strawberry season!

Comment: They look delicious!
