Comment: Thank you! Sorry for the late rating- school was crazy after the virus! Had 8 classes online! I am writing back today!

Comment: Will pass on in the next around

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: Thanks so much for the story I’ll pass it on!

Comment: Hi Nichole, your letter was so inspiring!! I have had a lot of depression and anxiety attacks in the last few weeks, so it was really great to get such an uplifting letter. Thank you so much! Also, it was super helpful that you wrote it on the back of a copy of the Swap— very easy to find you. I might start doing that from now on!! Thanks again and happy swapping, Your friend, Hilary Jay

Comment: Thanks for a nice letter. :) I hope the letter month has been fun for you. :)

Comment: Thank you! I look forward to continuing your story!

 

Comment: What a good idea to print out the swap and write on the back! This was such a fun letter to read, and I'm glad I read it right away - stupid me left it on the bedside table, and when I returned home, it was just ... gone. Well, my dog has a habit of eating paper sooooooo he also ate your words up :) Thanks for joining this month's SOC! :)

Comment: Thank you ~ Writing back soon <3

Comment: Great letter, and I forgive the printing once I saw the cursive :)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter. Your monogram letter seals are beautiful.

Comment: I really enjoyed reading your journal and found it incredibly refreshing to read someone else's day(s). I could reply to a lot of it, but this would get particularly long so i'll leave you with one. I am SO thankful I'm not the only one who has youtubed interviews of Jennifer Lawrence lol I did that about a week ago and I'm so shamed :( it's like a guilty pleasure :\ anyway, thanks again for the great read, hope to do it again soon!

Comment: Journal arrived today. Had fun reading it while scratching & smelling all the yummy scented stickers. How fun that I am your partner for January's journal!

Comment: Loved the letter!!!! Certainly up for replying!! Thanks!

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful glimpse into your life! I had never done a journal like this before and as I was reading it I truly felt like I was hanging out with you for a month. I hope mine didn't bore you too much. :) Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

Comment: What an awesome journal - I am so glad you were my partner! I loved reading your journal (I've been wanting to try Munchkin, but have never done RPGs before but I may have to now!). Loved the scented stickers - man, I miss scratch n' sniff! Thanks again - if you ever want to do any private swaps or penpal, just let me know! Peace, Michelle

Comment: Got your journal, thanks so much!

Comment: Loved the journal! :) Thank you! x

Comment: Hey girl! I read your journal! Oh my goshhh... I used to live in Riverside and haha I have been to the Brandin' Iron!! I used to do karaoke a lot but my favorite karaoke is a bar in LA called the Liquid Kitty. Ever been?! Doing karaoke and going out to see live music is something I've avoided recently because I'm afraid it'll make me want to drink, but I'll have to get back into doing those things sober soon. Also I know the economy is shitty there, that was the main reason I decided to come to Texas. I was doing the same as you, working a bunch of different part time jobs and not really able to pay the bills. It's so expensive to live there too. Here in Texas at least you can work a crappy retail job and actually live on that kind of money! Good luck with everything. Sorry you lost your job, and your boyfriend sounds like a pain in the ass! Maybe I should get some scentsy from you, I've been meaning to try that stuff!

Comment: I am so sorry the late rating!! It seems like I forgot to save my rating. I actually rated you rigth away as I really love your journal and the activites you described.

Comment: It is always interesting to see what others do! Thanks for the read.

Comment: Really enjoyed reading through the August journal, especially your experiences at camp. As always, a pleasure to swap with :)

Comment: Thanks for sharing your July with me. :) I love the covers and i have some serious hand writing envy (I'm a leftie too). I hope your knee is feeling better and that the roommate search goes well. Have fun at camp, I'll keep saving the soda tabs for you! Feel free to contact me any time for journal swaps. :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the little journal. The journal covering is really cool. And of course for the kawaii stuff! <3

Comment: Got this lovely journal in the mail yesterday and just finished reading it :) Sounds like you had an enjoyable trip--cribbage is a game we played quite often growing up. And, while I've never played D&D, I find it really fascinating to read about it! Thanks for the map and postcard!

Comment: Awesome little journal! Thanks :)

Comment: Got your letter, sounds like an awesome summer!

Comment: Thank you! It was fun to read about your life. Yay karaoke! Also, nice, *ahem*, Godzilla......

Comment: Enjoyed reading your absolutely lovely journal! How was your rock choir audition? :)

Comment: May I ask whose penis is now adorning my ATC binder? My bf got a kick out of this. I might host another willy series. I love yours

Comment: Got your journal today! Can't wait to sit down and get into it :)

Comment: Thanks for your journal :D hope the babysitting gig works out

Comment: I had so much fun reading about your month! I must look up the Zombies Run app - maybe that would inspire me to walk more. :) I think it's so awesome that you play D&D (and yes, I did know what that meant LOL - I was a teen in the 80's and even watched the cartoon!). The Hello Kitty post-it notes are really cute. Thank you so much for another awesome swap!! :)

Comment: I'm so sorry for the late rating. For some reason I thought I had left you one already - good thing I double checked! :) Wow - you have seen a lot of bands in concert! I'm totally jealous! ;) I do count myself as lucky though that I did get to see Oingo Boingo twice as a teen. :) If you want to see a band that really does them justice, go see Dead Man's Party. As a huge Boingo fan, I highly recommend them! They do an awesome tribute concert and really honor the original band. Thanks so much for the awesome letter! :)

Comment: Glad your fundraiser went well! Love that you did a lot of cooking and trying out new recipes in this journal!

Comment: Thank you for the great journal that you sent. I loved reading through the month.

Comment: Thank you so very much for resending. If I could give you more than one heart I would! I loved reading about your bearded dragon and I love your penmanship...makes me so envious because I am not a neat writer at all.

Comment: One of the most enjoyable swaps I've been in so far. The effort and intent was great, and I really appreciate the patience as well.

Comment: Thanks for the journal :D It is cool that we just keep going...with the Jan journal then Feb and now doing March. If we get partnered up for April or something...ewwww eeeee ewwwww....scary ironic.

Comment: AWESOME ~ it was so nice to meet (see) you! Loved your photos! Thank you so much for joining in!! Keep smiling!

Comment: I did, indeed, enjoy my tour into your relationship with writing. I agree, your writing is beautiful. Thanks for the history.

 

Comment: Love the purple hair!

 

 

Comment: Thank you so much for all the pictures. I enjoyed looking at them! :)

Comment: You're older than me but surely you look like a teenage :)

 

Comment: Love your purple hair!

 

Comment: Good story. You are a good writer.

Comment: Thank you for your journal. It was fun reading it. Where do you get those kinds of journals?

Comment: Thank you for the books and tarts!

Comment: I received your work for the swap! :) I will e-mail you back with my comments over the weekend. :)

Comment: how did the video go?

 

Comment: Thank you, PFF! I really enjoyed the lyrics you chose & the pretty composition. (The slap bracelets for the kids were completely a blast from my own childhood too, whee! :D)

Comment: Thank you for sharing, PFF! The story cubes sound like a lot of fun. I like that you shared which images you used for inspiration - interesting to see the creative process unfold. :)

Comment: I got your letter today: thank you. I love the enveloppes you send as extra: lovely!!! I also love the way you write. 2012 wasn't really a good year for you so I really wish you a great 2013! That 13 may be a lucky number. I like to answer your letter if you like .... Thank you again!

Comment: Thank you so much for the postcard AND Harry Potter card (I've never seen one like it). That's a wonderful quote you chose. And I definitely got a kick out of the postcard :-) Thanks!

Comment: Late on rating-sorry!.. I loved our adventure and thought the souvenir was really well done. Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the private swap. The envelope arrived unsealed and the giftcard code was already scratched off, but luckily, the card worked okay.

 

 

Comment: can't wait to play

Comment: Thank You!

Comment: Can't wait to get thro it :) (the little airplane with it has just arrived :D)

 

Comment: Thank you so much!! I loved it :)

Comment: Thank you for sending out so promptly. Drawing on the sidewalk sounds like something I would do. I enjoyed reading your one sentence a day. I wrote mine in the same style as you. Happy Holidays!

 

Comment: thanks bunches for the letter and the extra's....such neat handwriting....

Comment: Thank you. :)

Comment: Thank you for the peek into your life. :)

Comment: Thanks for the extras you sent! Can't wait to add my touch to your story!

Comment: Sorry my rating is so incredibly late!

Comment: What a month! Great journal - thanks!

Comment: Thank you for the interesting story.

Comment: Thank you! My package arrived today and I had fun going through the different stationary, slap bracelets, and yummy scents (the whole thing smelled amazing)! I really just adore the charms and can't wait to use them on something special. I want to use the candles but realize I need a warmer, can you pm me with more info? Thanks again! Sher

Comment: Thank you. I had lots of fun participating in this swap.

Comment: Hi Nicole, or maybe I must call you, Nestacia... heeh thank you for the lovely letter and the stuff of hogwarts. When your envelope arrives I understand why you paid so much on postage. Never, I mean, NEVER say priority mail at office. It's expensive. So next time, don't buy the envelope there just put on any envelope and say "economic" It's less than 2$. Btw, something red arrived broke in many small pieces and I have no idea what is it. Hope nothing important! Anyway, thank you for everything! ^^ Best wishes!

Comment: So many bottle caps! Love it! OMG though. Opened the package and it was like a blast of scents all over. They smell great but being stuck in the envie and finally being opened it was like woosh smell me! LOL Kids are already going crazy over their bracelets as well. Thank you for the swap!

Comment: Thank you! I've got to show you whatever I make from your 'abomination'! Thanks for the private swap-it was great

Comment: Although sent a day late, I was aware of the delay (they emailed me in advance) and a couple of extras were added to make up for it. It was worth the extra wait loved the little book of lies - read it in one sitting (thought I'd manage to save it but I was enjoying them too much). Thanks!

 

 

Comment: Thanks for setting this up, loved reading about everyone's tattoos. :) Love the guitar pic tattoo-- as many musicians as I have known in my life, never seen that one before!

Comment: Thank you so much for everything, I absolutely love the clover notecard set.

 

Comment: I loved seeing and reading about your tattoos! I have never been a huge fan of color but I really <3 yours!

Comment: Thank you for sharing your tattooes with me, I especially like the barrel of monkies, how cool!

Comment: Great variety and stories! Thanks for sending the pics. :O)

Comment: :) I love the charity walks their so fun. If I have some extra cash I may give you a small pledge but I'll have to see.

Comment: Thank you for the great letter and extras. Good to learn a bit about the Ronald McDonald House and the camp. Hope you got a position as a counselor.

 

Comment: Thank you for the great pictures!

Comment: Yay!!! Thank you SO much!! This is perfect! Yours is going into the mail today - my daughter and I will walk down when she gets up from her nap.

Comment: Thanks for the scents, I have a sensitive sense of smell so they're a little strong but that's impressive-- to have traveled that far and kept their scent so strongly :) I'll definitely be putting them to good use.

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful scents that arrived in my mailbox Saturday! Mmmm.... and thanks for the info on your business!

Comment: Thank you for the free samples. I loved the scents.

Comment: Thank you so much for the yummy goodies! I love the February smell the best! ;)

Comment: Thank you so much for all of the great items. I really like the samples. Once I am finished with those I might have to check into your website.

Comment: Hello Stryker, thank you for your letter. I will write you back very soon. Lupi

Comment: congrats on your first Type 1 swap :) great RAKs! good luck with Walk for Kids and hope you get camp councilor position at Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times!
