Response: I’m so glad it finally made it to you after the mailing fiasco! I was beginning to worry it really had gotten lost! And thank you for being so patient!

Response: I really wanted to find you some Rampion seeds to go with it, but alas, I always remembered AFTER walking out of the store, so I never even checked to see if they were available. Oops.

Response: Somehow, the first time I read it, I missed the part about learning how. The coptic binding I learned here: http://www.doe.in.gov/olt/grantprojects/books/Coptic%20Book.htm As far as everything else, I just collaged junk mail and book pages and lined paper, then smeared with paint (that was supposed to end up in that retro-green you liked, but failed miserably)

Response: I'm so glad to hear they arrived! Another swap I sent around the same time didn't, and I was worried!

Response: Not a scrapbooker, though I probably should learn. I'm a mixed media artist and lately I got a few large packs of paper to use in my collage. The trade was a perfect excuse to really explore them and see what I had.

Response: I'm so glad they work for you! Bright was a challenge for me, as it's not generally what I am drawn to personally, but when I sifted through my stash, I found there was a lot more than I thought I had!
