Comment: Thanks a lot Tamara, for the lovely swap. Thanks again for using stamps. 😍

Comment: Wow, was für ein toller Brief!!! Genau diese Art mag ich sehr gerne. Die Freundschaft zwischen Sirius und Remus! Es gibt ja leider sehr wenig gute Fanfiction! :/ Mir geht es da auch so. Schreibe lieber auf Englisch, auch wenn dann vermutlich Grammatikfehler inklusive gibt. Hihi

Comment: Thank you so much for the pretty envelope and the cute supplies! I cannot wait to use them in my planner next year :)

Comment: What a lovely last line; like poetry. I love your lettering and the collaged bits of interest. Thank you.

Comment: Dear Hermione, it worked! Didn’t expect anything else from you than a perfectly working spell... on the letter... and the tattoo:) You inspired me, also a dragon. All for now, I guess George needs my help, I hear exciting little explosions in the shop, longer letter next time! Fred

Comment: Awesome letter Tamara. Thank you - love the idea and the envelope! Stay safe, darla

Comment: Wow what a lovely letter. I can tell you out a lot of effort and work into it. Not only was the presentation perfect but so was the actually content of the letter. Immersive like Reading a short story from within the books! Thank you for sharing it with me. I have read fire and blood! It focuses on Targaryens only and it is very good but I like a world of ice and fire better because it talks about everything. But Fire and Blood is basically a Targaryen history book. Nice to find a fellow Aries hufflepuff, many Aries are gryffindors! Growing up my favorite character was hermione too. I love ginny and draco! A lot of my friend are pro-Draco redemption arc so not an unpopular opinion to me! my current favorite is Luna. She’s definitely the character that is most like myself and I relate to her a lot. I’d love to exchange letters! I can talk a mile long about characters, theories and fanfic, etc. Happy swapping :)

Comment: Thank you

Comment: Thank you so much for this lovely mail! Loved the teas (tasted already couple and those were perfect for after work tea) and the extra stamps were perfect, exactly what I have been looking for! Loved the note too :) I have bit similar experience long time ago when I just started with horses. Rode my teacher's daughter's international level show jumper, and comparing to riding school horses.... It was amazing experience.

Comment: I loved your hand drawn envelope art! So clever and beautifully done! Colored pencils are a medium I don't use myself, so I admire those who master them :) I liked the letter paper you used too, with all the maps on reverse side. I checked out "River God", and my library has it as Finnish translation. I will get it next week, when the libraries open up again. I'll let you know when I've read it :) This was a great swap, thanks!

Comment: Oh my god Tamara, what a beautiful drawing you made on the envelope, love it very much! :D Thanks for the yummy looking tea bags! :) I love colorful teabox packaging too :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the pretty postalette; love all the light pink! Your username is quite clever, I like it. I had wondered about it before as you & I have been partners on a few other swaps. I couldn't say for sure where exactly mine comes from, other than that I love squids, desserts, & alliteration. Thanks again, take care! :)

Comment: Vielen lieben dank, Blind envelope heisst eigentlich dass man nicht auf dem profil des Partners spitzelt aber ich mag die Sachen von dir sehr gerne, vor allem die umschläge sind toll gestaltet

Comment: Vielen Dank für die wunderbaren Karten. Ampelmänner mag ich sowieso und die Wien Karte war sensationell. Bei Dir war ja ganz schön was los, das war spannend zu lesen. Und eines kann ich Dir versichern: auch mit zunehmendem Alter wird es immer wieder Anflüge von Unvernunft geben. Und das ist auch gut so. Danke für Deine Karten. Ich hatte heute bei meiner Rückkehr aus dem Urlaub große Freude daran.
