Comment: Hang in there! The strike cannot last forever💕
Response: When I was in high school the postal strike lasted 2 months. I'm cool with it though. I'm rooting for the postal workers to get inflation matching wage hikes. The last time they got a good deal other workers started getting better pay too.

Comment: Hi Rome, Great pictures! I really like the way this challenge focuses the mind and creative eye. I particularly liked the close-ups of the tree bark and the photo with the red berries was my absolute favourite. But I enjoyed looking at all of them and exploring with you that stretch of forest. Good work!
Response: Thank you. I enjoyed the photo challenge. I agree about the berries. That was a lucky find in the forest especially next to that sea foam green powdery mildew.

Response: That happens to me a lot, I read my email and plan to return to it and then 20+ emails pile on and I forget to follow-up. So I totally understand. Thanks for the heart! I loved that walk and felt so lucky to see such beautiful colour on that urban trail. A week and a half later and we too are in the brown stage. Going to get the snow tires on next week. Thanks for your kind feedback on my photos! 🤗

Response: Ah shucks, thanks for the "creative" compliment. Generally, my crafty art is just a matter of luck. I was really pleased with the marker set, I often struggle with colour and love it when a manufacturer puts together harmonious colours, especially 'nature' colours.

Comment: Hi Rome! I love your photo and information about the chickadee! I have never had a bird in my hand, does it feel strange? I have to say all of our birds seem to love black sunflower seeds! Right now everyone must be eating the cicadas, as my one feeder has been full for days, which is so unusual! All the best! Hugs, Happy Snapping, and Swapping! ;)
Response: That was a fun photo project. I loved having a reason to share that hand-feeding photo of mine. I loved that experience. It was a beautiful experience. The birds weight is barely perceptible while they are on your hand. The talons gently hold on. Then there's the whoosh of the wings as they arrive and leave.

Comment: Love this "I don't care" about improving relationships by helping make decisions. Something new to think about - when I get that I assume "passive aggressive" (to corner me into doing something I don't want to do), or "indifferent" and either way, the effect is that I do indeed like the person less. I think I will implement the recommendation so it won't happen to me! I may also subscribe to PT - I'll bet there are fascinating things in there!

Comment: I think I JUST saw the Birds-foot Trefoil on our way home from the campsite. I asked Lloyd to stop so I could take a look at the pretty yellow flower on the side of the road. I'm def going to try to get this app on my phone! Would have only said those white ones were daisies, lol! Very pretty flowers and so nice to know the names of them!
Response: The 'Scentless Mayweed' surprised me too. I always thought they were just "daisies". I took a couple of readings from a couple of different spots and got the same name. It's of the same family as the Daisy. The trefoil is really common on the boulevard of lawns. They like to cascade over the curbs. As far as lawn weeds go I think they're OK. They don't leave ugly sticks when they go to seed. They just seem to disappear. I think you will really enjoy the Seek app.

Then used acrylics on my gelli plate along with a plastic grid piece I have that I think came from a hardware store, to make the grid marks. Thanks for noticing my weave. I like making paper weaves - it's a bit of a zen-like process for me. And, yes, just finished your section and drop it in the mail to Nicola. Don't wait for the next swap to start.

Response: Thanks! I tried the shadow technique and was pretty happy with the results. I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for noticing the vellum bees and pussywillows sticker. It's just about that time of the year here--another week or two and the bees will be buzzing around the budding trees.

Comment: Hi Rome -- loved the pictures you chose and your explanations! The frog's eye view you chose for your picture of the nude statue gives a whole different dimension to the picture and makes it in my opinion more interesting than a straightforward shot would have done -- well spotted! The gingko leaves against the sky are beautiful and the picture is admirably sharp. Food photography is notoriously difficult and you've captured the cookies well. The Bon Echo reflection picture is lovely -- I've found myself going back to it several times. There's something very calming about it and the various shapes and lines work so well together. And a good shot of John McCrae. That strikes me as a difficult photo to take -- it's obvious that the statue is on a slight tilt in relation to the building behind it. I like your photo but wonder if it might be worth going back and exploring angles and tilts. Is it possible to get the building straight without tipping the statue? But I do like all of your pictures and am glad you enjoyed the swap!
Response: Really nice feedback on my photos. The McCrae background was especially constructive. I got a bit of tunnel vision there, not taking into consideration the background. An important photography point I will be aware of and apply for the next photo challenges. 📷😊🖼️

Response: Swappers love those glassine envelopes so I try to get one anytime I buy stamps. The generous staff will give me 2 but mostly they pretend they didn't hear me when I ask for two. =) So you are one of the lucky ones to get a canadapost glassine envelope. :D Thanks about my pink page. I had a flash of inspiration.

Comment: Thanks for the little books. The Valentine theme is already too full to close, and someone has already had to repair it. The thick paper it is made from plus all the additional paper added onto the pages hasn't been good for it. Three pages to go, hopefully it will hold together.
Response: I've been noticing that about the ICM decos. The larger decos seem to close better than the small decos, even when they use thicker paper and embellishments. I have to re-think ICMs. I really like the size, maybe I'll suggest regular computer paper thickness and only one page folded in half to give swappers 4 pages (6 if we count the inner covers) to work with.

Response: Not especially tasty unless you like the taste of liquorice. I was intrigued by the history of the spirit. It is usually put in a fancy absinthe decantor which drips the spirit onto the sugar cubes. I saw the whole traditional set up on a television travel show featuring a bar in New Orleans.

It looks like your envelope got hung up in the machines on the end that had that deco. Everything inside made it okay.
Response: The bulky little deco is a nice one. I wonder if the owner, Stephanie, would be amendable to removing the middle page. The binding is a easy one to untie and re-tie. That way postage won't become an issue and she'll get her deco back sooner. Thanks for letting me know the machinery damaged my envelope. I'll have to be careful about gluing down my ephemera well (or not gluing paper to the envelope). Thanks for the info and for the heart joppagirl. :)

Comment: I love that you used a photo of the woods by your house, for this swap! The PO did some "creative carving" of the image, but most of it was ok. On one of my daily, 3 mile walks, in Wisconsin, during deer hunting season. A hunter stopped me to show me a coyote, he had shot. He said, on one of my earlier hikes, he had seen the coyote following me. Come to find out it was pretty sick. Stay safe and healthy! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: Eeeek. Being stalked is unnerving. I wonder if that's happened to me and I didn't realize it. Thankfully there have been no reports in my area (or province) of attacks on humans, but there have been attacks on dogs. Can't help but admire their beauty though. I'd probably feel different if one got too close. 😨 Thank you so much for the heart, I'm so glad you like my photograph (with the glued on coywolf).🤗

We dont have them here in BC but we have Stellers Jay, which is bigger and a real beautiful dark vibrant blue . I saw areal blue bird once when visiting in Alberta. So exciting for me lol peace love light
Response: Our barn swallows are a pretty blue. There's the Eastern BlueBird which is about the colour of the bird on the garage door. I've never seen an Eastern BlueBird. Then there's the Indigo Bunting which is a gorgeous cobalt blue. I have had the fortune to see one a few years ago in a park nearby.

I wonder what place the photo was featuring? I really enjoyed your note as well. Very thoughtful and sweet. I think some new medication I'm on might be helping some. At least I've had some better days lately. I'm glad you are taking precautions against ticks. I'm also happy to have a stamp from Canada. Thanks so much from a Yooper native.
Response: Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I'm so glad it finally arrived and you like the landscape art I chose. I googled Flint HIlls. So lovely. There's something very charming and calming about undulating hills. I'm glad you're feeling better on the new meds. Stay strong.

Comment: Love love love the postcard you created! Awesome stamps and great design! Do you make your stamps out of craft foam or do you carve them that large? I've been wanting to try making craft foam stamps...kind of like Art Foamies - have you seen those...they're addicting (and I think they are from Canada...;)
Response: I'm so glad you like it. :) The biggest stamp was the frame and it's one stamp measuring almost 6"x4". I used the inner rubber material to carve some of the smaller images, so I didn't have a lot of waste. I use a rubber material called Nasco Safety-Kut. It's not the greatest, hard to carve and full of little bubbles but OK for folk art style chunky work. Go here for more information about carving material: https://www.atlasquest.com/about/wiki/browse.php?catId=12 I've never used Art Foamies. Just heard about them recently. They seem like they'd be good of chunky images.

Used it a couple of times when I was in remote locations on a clear night. During those rare opportunities I'm amazed by the sheer density of stars and curious about the brightest stars.

What a scary drive to the peak--no guardrails and fog (clouds were to thick to go all the way to the top). Amazing though and a beautiful area. Loved the drive through New York, Vermont and NH. It was a fun postcard swap. Thanks for the heart.

Comment: Hi Rome thank you for the Lucy Maud Montgomery PC...that is my daughters favorite author. I like the photoshopped image. Love the poem. Do you belong to the red hat society group ? We have them here but I haven't joined. Love the concept though. I'm not one to let what others think enter into my definition of me. I've always been one to go against the grain lol I'm on my own path. Happy Spring swapping peace love light
Response: I'm too much of an introvert to join the Red Hat Society but I like seeing older women being sassy. I suppose it's not all that unusual these days, many older women have full and colourful lives. The Warning (red and purple) poem got me in a creative postcard making mood.

Response: 2nd car was a Mitsubishi Colt.Little compact hatchback car. On the highway the engine sounded like a sewing machine. It was zippy. Lasted a long time. If I remember correctly it was road-worthy for 10 years at a time when most cars were lucky to get to 6 years. Thanks for the feedback MeggyMoo, I'm glad you liked this eSwap.
