Comment: Today was a rough day. Somehow your package managed to come on the perfect day. I am so thankful for you lovely letter and goodies that are so feel good. Thank you for sending so much light and encouragement in one package! <3 I am thankful for you being up for the swap. Your package brought a HUGE smile to my face and reminded me of the goodness and bliss in the world. :) Thanks again for everything and the time you put into the swap, I really appreciate it :) <3

Comment: I got your resend at last! Thank you so much. I especially love the fabric... I can't really sow but I still love beautiful fabric and finding things to do with it! (And also loved the way you packaged it... swap-bot is turning me into an obsessive :) )

Comment: Thank you for the most lovely package, Natalie! I'm so excited to read the book, I've never seen it before. :) I love stories on different mythical beasties! The wrapping was so pretty and the sweet sticky notes are a great bonus! Thanks again! xx

Comment: Wow, Natalie. This is one of the most thoughtful pieces of mail I've ever received. I feel like you've known me for years. I don't think any of my actual real friends can top how much effort and detail you put into everything. I'm in absolute awe. I can't wait to use everything. The cacti notebook has already been put to use as school just began:) The fox earrings are on my ears now. Just everything.. Thank you so so much for thinking of me and preparing such an awesome parcel to receive. I hope you enjoy my end of the swap just the same and I can't wait to do this again! ♥

I love the stickers, stamps, washi and the postcards- OMG the postcards!!! and it is all wrapped so beautifully I felt like it's my birthday (: I can't possibly thank you enough, so I'll just let you know you really made my whole week (and it's a pretty difficult one...) . Love, Karin

Comment: Thank you SO much for this swap Natalie and for resending! I love everything and can't wait to try out my new vegan goodies! Please please let me know if you'd like to do a private swap with me! <3<3

Comment: Thank you! I love the washi tape that you used on the PC.

Comment: Gosh, what a surprise! I had no idea I was your partner again! You must be quite bored of sending to me by now! Everything was beautiful as usual, and wrapped in such pretty Alice paper. I'm going to read the book next, and drink the tea right away (it made the letter smell so nice!) and the letter set and everything else is so lovely. You always send such perfect things! I'll reply to your letter soon! xo

Comment: Thank you very much! I opened the one with the earrings today, they're so pretty :) Thank you for all the happy things! And extra thanks for the bear postcard, I'm going to put it on the wall above my desk among my other favourites.

Comment: Wonderful choices as always, and all beautifully packaged. Thank you so much! I'll reply to your letter soon! xo

Comment: Natalie, thank you so much for such a fun, inspirational swap! I'm really into botany/maps so everything was right up my alley, I actually haven't read The Waves, so I'm currently finishing up my book to start on that one. The chocolate is nearly gone and I love the tote and pen cup! So neat. Thank you for everything and for joining:) Hope you had a great Earth Day ♥

Comment: Thank you so much for the loose tea and the I Am Powerful sticker!! Another lovely swap from you. Thank you <3

Comment: Thank you Natalie for such a wonderful artistic tribute. I am so impressed with your embroidery. I will be putting ithe up in my office at work on Monday. And yes, the improvised packaging worked - no damages. Thank you!

Comment: Thank you very much for another one great package! I absolutely love all:) the kit is very cute, I've just thought about stitching of house:) the selection of chocolates are so delicious, the bicycle stickers are so nice. And, of course, I'm very-very happy to have new issues of my favourite magazines!!!!

Comment: Thanks a lot for your wonderful postcard!

Comment: Thank you very much for the tea and the lovely note!

Comment: Thank you for the nice PC - I love Emily Dickinson! The Alice in Wonderland stamp on the card is wonderful too. I hope you have a beautiful day and next time I see a feather, I will think of you.

Comment: Dear Natalie, first of all my apologies for rating you a bit later. But most important, I want to thank you for all the thoughtful, beautiful, energy filled and positive items you've sent me <3 How in the world can I ever thank you enough? :) Everything you've chosen is just perfect and speaks to my soul! The lovely stones (which kind of crystal is the one you sent along in the package, the one without description?), the beautiful Ganesh, the incense, the tea <3 You filled my heart with gratefulness Natalie! Kind greetings and wishing you a lovely weekend, Love 'n Peace, Aline

Comment: Thank you for the adorable Valentine! I got it right on Valentine's Day. Thank you!

Comment: So sorry for the delay in rating. Thank you so much for the PC. I hope you continued to enjoy the book you were reading!

Comment: Thank you! I love it that you sent several different small items :) Everything except for the Extra gums and Milky Way are new to me and not available here so it's great to get to try them. Thank you for taking part in this swap!

Comment: AWESOME package! Much more than expected and so perfect. I loved everything, you've decided it with love. Thank you so so much! ♡♡♡♡

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely screenprint flag! I am going to buy a frame for it today and hang it up. As a funny side note, my 3 year old daughter opened it with me and decided it made the perfect cape. Considering the art on it, it was pretty hysterical.

Comment: Thank you so much for tea and lovely letter. Best of luck to you!

Comment: Your postcard was extra funny! I showed it to my Japanese exchange student friend and she thought it was cute too!

Comment: Thank you for the great tode bag. I like that it is so colourful and I think it is hard to find that motive here :-)

Comment: Thank you for the dreamy PC and your list of books. I will have to look them all up tonight and see if I should add them to my own list!

Comment: Oh sweet awesomeness!!!!! I absolutely love everything you sent me!!! The wrappers were almost too cute to open! Thank you!!!!

 

Comment: Hi Natalie, thank you so much for the great package you sent me! I like everything!

Comment: Thanks! Will need to check it out.

Comment: This package was so incredible. I'm truly overwhelmed and at a loss for words. I spent thirty minutes just reclaiming all the gorgeous washi you used. The bookmarks are stunning. I love the book pages. I literally cried looking through the Japanese motifs. They are so breathtakingly beautiful. I can't wait to start the adorable pattern you sent me. All the postcards and the framed picture of Orwell were the icing on the cake. I've never read Metamorphosis but it looks great! It is right up my alley. I can't forget about the bookplates with that snarky fennec fox! I really don't know how you did this. I LOVE everything. What I sent you seems so insufficient in the wake of all this wonderfullness, and for that I sincerely apologize. I need to send you some more goodies. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you thank you thank you. <3

Comment: Thank you for your great email, it was really interesting to read how 2014 was for you and I'll try to keep your advice in mind! :) Hope, 2015 is going to be even more awesome for you! :)

Comment: Thanks for your great list! I started reading A Suitable Boy when I was a teen and it is still sitting on my shelf with a bookmark in it. The weight of it put me off so I have now bought it on Kindle so I have no excuse!

Comment: Oh, my goodness I LOVE the package that you sent me. Everything was lovely and so thoughtful. I am so grateful! Have a very merry Christmas and I hope that the package that you receive is half as nice as the one you sent to me!

Comment: Thanks for your present. Can't wait to open it:) Thanks. loved it

Comment: Thank you so much for everything you sent! The truffles were lovely, the book looks like it's going to be good and I can't wait to try the recipe! :)

Comment: Natalie, thank you for the elephant post-its and the extra cards. I can't wait to start guerilla posting. :)

Comment: Thank you, they're great! I put two of them on my wall (the one with the tiger and the one with birds) so I can see them often and the others will certainly be useful for future swaps :)

Comment: This card is adorable! I like the elephants and the slam poem is spot on. Thank you!

Comment: Hello) Thank you for the wonderful stamps and for a beautifully decorated envelope. They definitely go into my collection :)

Comment: thank you for lovely coins. I like all you send :) have a good day!

Comment: Wow! Thank you for another great swap! I love all and can't wait to start stitching:) I like small kits very much:) and chocolates are so yummi:) thank you again for this swap!

Comment: Thanks so much!! The Jane eyre stuff was fab!! I would give u more hearts if I could.

Comment: ADORE IT!!!!! :) thank you so much!!! you clearly have really nice charity shops near you - I love the mug and the dala horse and the tin especially and the book also looks to be a really good choice! thank you so much, this package really made me smile this morning! :)

Comment: Oh My Goodness Natalie, Thank you so much for the coins. I didn't have any of those. THANK YOU SO MUCH and for the extra post card too. take care, darla

Comment: Thank you so much Natalie -- love your choices for me!

Comment: Dear Natalie, I just finished ooh-ing and ah-ing over the swap over your wonderful swap, and I think I want to start over again!! The scarf is just lovely (and soooooo soft), the owl bead is the cutest thing-ever!, the tea, the lace, the stars....it's all just great. Thanks so much for your kindness, and your good taste! I believe I do feel inspired... :)

Comment: Thank you - what a lovely package! :)

Comment: I love the Carol Rossetti images. She does a great job of creating diverse characters with strong statements. The photos from the Beautiful Body Project are so captivating. I keep looking through to see who else she's photographed. Hollie McNish is so right about her stance on breast feeding. Anyone who thinks public breast feeding is offensive has their priorities seriously mixed up. Like she said, breasts on billboards but its the one that feeds the child that is offensive? Thanks for sending!!!

Comment: Thank you for sharing your inspirational links! <3

Comment: Thank you so much for these links. I love, love, love them. I especially appreciated the two slam poets. I had heard the breastfeeding one before and I loved returning to it. But I had never seen the menstruation one and I hope that when my 3 year old is old enough, I can instill in her that same sense of confidence and understanding of her power as a woman. Thank you!

Comment: Sorry, I just realized I missed rating you, I must have been distracted by all of the awesome things you sent! Seriously, I am wearing the socks and and am using the pencil case. Everything was SO awesome, you really went above and beyond! I'm sorry I'm such a slow rater :(

Comment: What a great selection of post cards. I think my favorite was the "Performers in Rainbow Colors"!!

Comment: Wow, what a wonderful package from England! A few days ago a little note from the postman was in my mailbox, saying that I had to collect a package at their office. But only between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. This afternoon I quit work a little earlier to travel to the postoffice and wow! It was really worth it! What a beautiful package! I love everything in it and also the way you wrapped everything. I keep looking at all the stuff. If it was possible giving more hearts, I would have give you a thousand!

Comment: Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the package! I love everything in it! And it is so funny because I was JUST thinking how I needed to get a few more watercolors and a new palette and BAM it came in the mail! I was seriously about to go to the store right after getting the mail. Thank you, every single thing is awesome, and my kids will be happy to share the chocolate with me. Thanks again! It really made my day!

Comment: Hello Big hugs I love the swap. Thanks!!!!! Greets Malou

Comment: Thank you for the awesome ATC, postcards, and letter. I love the embroidery on the ATC and the message. I really appreciate your vision of feminism and the ways our bodies can inform our experiences. In my experience, this is so very true, but not always easy to remember. Beautiful card and package! I hope to swap with you again.

Comment: Natalie -- great choice! Love this author! And thanks for the add-ons! Great swap!

Comment: Thank you soooo much for everything you sent!! I love the Coins and the Postcards, the embellishments, the notecards and the hedge hog satin are very cute. And I'm really looking forward to try the Tea and the Crunchie :) I wish I could give you more than one Heart :)

Comment: Great Books

Comment: Hi :) Thank you so much for your generous package. Sweets look delicious and I can't wait to eat them :)

Comment: Thanks for the coins!

Comment: I love your washi! And the bookmark is cool too!

Comment: Thank you so much! I loved everything you send me (esp. the embroidery threads). But most of all I´m impressed by the way you took care of everything (the big box, the beautiful wrapping paper). It was a treat :)

Comment: WOW thank you so much for the cool Korean and Egyptian bills. They are awesome - thank you so much, darla

Comment: Love your goat photo!

Comment: Jealous! Thank you for the PC.

Comment: Hi, thank you so much for the awesome mail! I like everything and it seems you also like to shop at Paperchase! :D It's my favourite stationery shop. :) I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in The Netherlands :)

Comment: That postcard is really awesome! Thank you & the book seems like something i might like too :)

Comment: I finally managed to read through the entire 32 pages you sent. 32 pages. Handwritten. That is crazy and most wonderful! Thank you so much. Loved the postcard you enclosed, too. I shall write back soon:).

Comment: What a pretty bookmark! TYSM

Comment: Got the package! LOve it! Everything there except the bracelet... which you can't send to my country because it's prohibited.

Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely parcel! The gifts were wrapped so beautifully I almost didn't want to open them! :) There were some great things hidden in the wrappings too. Thanks!

Comment: Wow--amazing. Natalie, what a beautiful surprise-filled envelope. You went far beyond "Pick any 3 things." I love all of the paper--very rich and the texture is wonderful. I love every note card, especially the torn edged leaf paper. The black ribbon with fruit and flowers is exquisite. The crocheted flower went on my summer hat; the stickers, tags--geesh--and then after reading my profile, you added a beautiful and meaningful heart pendant necklace. I am wearing the necklace to work today. I'm leaving the pendant on the ribbons (not a chain--love it as is). Lastly, thank you for the postcard showing where you live. You truly made my day. You get a 50 + 5 hearts and much appreciation. Thank you (from my heart), Debby PS--love your nickname. My mother and grandmother owned a restaurant when I was very young (eons ago). It was called the Bluebird Cafe. I loved them, the restaurant, regular customers who treated me like a princess, and the bluebirds Mom and Granny got me--named Bee.Bop and Bimbo.

Comment: Thanks for sharing! I might check out Boyhood Island - if I can find a Dutch translation. Sounds interesting!

Comment: I really like how you described me all the trama of the book and I love the fact than you take te time of reading my profile

Comment: Thank you for your reading list - it was so interesting to see what someone else reads. Thank you for the recommendation too. I have Stardust to read by Gaiman as my next option, but will look up American Gods too.

Comment: Great list thank you!

Comment: Thank you for your email and the book recommendations ! I'm going to check them out on my good reads app !
