And then I cut it open very carefully so I could put it on my inspiration board- super inspiring! I appreciate you saying I am courageous, I don't see myself that way- sometimes it takes someone else to point out things you take for granite, so thanks for more than just one of the best swap packages I've ever received!

Comment: What super fun mail art! Thank you for the lovely decorated envie and the wonderful surprises inside-definitely have some ideas brewing...The nearest beach to me is a 6-7 hour drive away.

And the stuff you included inside all fit me to a "T'", I am not a stalker, I swear. But some day I am coming to meet you and have you teach me how to do a proper art envie. I am just speechless! And you can imagine what I initially thought the catnip was when I first saw it, especially since you sent me chocolate too. I laughed so hard, tears streamed down my face! Thanks so much for the swap. You made my day, week and month! Hugs, Susan

Comment: Wow! Amazing first zine! The illustrations, colors, distressing was soooo cool! I really loved the topic of the zine. I also loved your envelope. It was a piece of art in itself..... I plan to hole punch it and put it in my planner to use as a pocket. Thanks for joining this swap!!!!

Comment: To the Magnificant Stacy...Once again, you outdid yoursef with this swap!!! You are a very talented and sharing artist! Thank you so much for all you sent...you definitely made my day!!!

Comment: Stacy, Stacy, Stacy - when I saw that envelope, addressed to "The Adorable Andrea Tally", I knew it must have been from you! I love my packet, and it has made my very long week into a joyful one - not just made my day, but my week! :-) LOVE the old papers (where do you find those? I looked in the library store today, but to no avail), the cool stickers, embellishments, all of it, as well as my new little monkey pet on the PC! Yes, be prepared to gain weight on a cruise ship . . . you can try to go to the gym on the ship, but it does no good. Just gotta give in to the food while you're on board! As far as exotic goes, I don't know that I've been an exotic place but I have gone to Jerusalem, Bethlehem and many other cities in that area, as well as spent some time in Jordan (love all these historical sights) - and Beijing, Shanghai and Shouzou China. France and England in high school, but those don't seem as 'exotic' as the ME and China! I sure hope I get to send to you as a partner sometime so I can do the favor of such a wonderful package!

Comment: I got your postcard hehehe... That is a really nice postcard you sent me and a really funny quote. Thanks!

Comment: Thanks so much for resending! I love the decorated envelope and all inside! Those were interesting events. Wow!

Comment: Stacy, I looked in the mirror because I wasn't sure who the heart envelope was destined for such a surprise. That is so clever! Thank you for the cool ephemera for my stash.

Comment: At long last I get to the "bookkeeping" part of my swapping...I'm sorry it's taken me so long to let you know how much I LOVED your envelope and the cool, cool, cool contents that were inside. SO much fun! I was in Maine from July 5th until then end of the month, then made a "pedal to the metal" trip back to AZ. Had a blast, wish I didn't have to leave! Thanks again, Stacy!

Comment: Your postcard was so beautiful. I showed it to my AP art students. (We are doing altered books) Let me know if you would be interested in an interview with the class about your process/experience or something.

Comment: Oooo, thank you very much for the gorgeous tiger PC!!! Such a beautiful, vintage design... perfect for framing!!! Ohhh yes, a whole day to myself with things being "just right" at clean home is definitely my version of heaven (or a minor miracle LOL) as well! White cake with white frosting... yum!!!

Comment: Thanks for the neat postcard. Your day sounds wonderful! :)

Comment: Stacy, Stacy, Stacy...you outdid yourself! I LOVE the homemade envelope annnndddd all the pretty and cute goodies inside. I love each and every one of those papers...some of them are soooo unique!! Thanks again!!

Comment: A Beautiful card, great words, and a great memoir! Cheers to you!!

Comment: Yes Stacy, you made my day! That was a great idea making a round envelope ~ never seen it before and I love it. And thank you very much for all the goodies inside!

Comment: What a fun Frida card! Thank you for sharing and for the kind words! I put "meat items" on my profile, because I didn't want anyone to send me beef jerky or something. I wouldn't have been grossed out, I just didn't want anyone to waste their money getting them to me... haha. But if i get any... i'll forward them to you! :D

Comment: thank you for the postcard! I loved it!

Comment: Love that the lyrics match the postcard :D

 

Comment: You make receiving mail SO much fun! I hope you realize I always keep your envies and everything! Love the stamps inside & out & especially the Mona Lisa & Davinci notecards, neat! I'm not sure when Girls comes back on, but I'm patiently waiting as well. Thank you so much! ♥

Comment: And again, thank you for such a wonderful swap! I always love receiving mail from you because you really go out of your way to make sure you pick out the perfect things to send! I LOVE the envelope, did you design it?? I actually thought the envelope was for a swap I did where you have to decorate the envelope. :P Do you use modge podge to get the pictures to stick to the envelope? Thanks for the stamps, deco tape, notecards and mini journal (that I will certainly use in a journal swap). Loved it all!

Comment: Delightful! The envie was so gorgeous, I carried it around unopened for two days to show everyone. Thank you for the lovely papers! A wonderful surprise all around!

Comment: Hi Stacy!! Thanks for the great swap! I loved the mail art and it was a joy reading your letter. New Brunswick is Canada's only bilingual province so there are lots of French speaking people here, including me! 2 weeks ago, my fiancé and I spent a week in Old Orchard Beach and stopped in Waterville for lunch on the way there. We couldn't find Ruby Tuesdays :( I really wanted to try that! Thank you for the surprise postcards too, I always appreciate different cards because there's not much for selection here besides typical touristy ones. Take care!! <3

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard!! I hope your airconditioner makes it thru the season!

Thank you also for the nifty hangy doodad! :) I just love the mother of pearly type shell stuff it is made from - so lovely! :) And, wow, I loveeeee that Da Vinci card and envelope A LOT! :) Thank you also for the #9 (or #6, heheh) stencil! :) Woot! And, least but definitely not least - thank you sooo much for yet another most wonderful envelope! It was hilarious how you crossed out the can of beef soup, LOL :) You're so cute. And I loved the Britishy themed bits you included, and the diablito stuff was nifty! :) That quote on the back was AWESOME! :) (woman provoking rain, hehehe, I sometimes secretly feel like that) :) And the guy on the back with the #9 shirt and butterfly wings was so creative and fun. Thank you so much, my friend! :)

Comment: Thanks for the goodies!

Comment: Hello, Stacy. Alas! Thank you for the vintage-y PC you sent me for this swap. I found it funny. Hope I interpreted the card correctly. Happy swapping! And sorry for the late rating.

Comment: Sounds like you have a wonderful evening! I so relate to having the coffee ready. My son spoiled me he got me hooked on coffee from this place in NYC while he was in school one day last week. I used what i really feared was last of my coffee.. I was so glad when I found not one but 2 pounds in freezer so i am good for couple months

Comment: I loved your package so much!! It was so cool how you made that. Hope I get you for a partner again sometime so I can get another awesome envelope..I didn't even want to open it because I thought it was too pretty. Thanks!! (:

 

Comment: Thank you so very much for your beautiful package! Thank you for sending those CDs along to me. I just put the first one on and am listening :-). Already, this guy seems very intelligent and insightful.Thank you also for your supremely gorgeous envelope. I held it out at arm length and gave strong consideration to framing it and the others you made me. Next time I am shopping for frames, I might have to do that! These truly are personalized works of art and you really ought to start an Etsy shop and sell these or something. :-) I liked the funny label you used for your address. I looked at all the little details you included in your decoration - you wrote Lennon lyrics swoon :-D And there is number 9 - my favorite! How crazy :-). I love the 1960s hippie couple and I just love the sun you made on the back! And the British policeman! :-). The quote you put with him was hilarious, he he. Thank you so much for your kindness to a stranger and for making my day! Update 06/06/2013 – A WORD OF WARNING ABOUT THIS SWAPPER: This disobedient swapper has ignored my stern words of warning and has gone and sent me a second wonderful, terrific, marvelous package for this swap. WTF. The first one was already mind-blowingly awesome. How dare she darken my mailbox with her ginormous, ROUND!!!, most creative piece of mail art I have ever received!!! Despite my many protests, it was sitting there, lurking, waiting for me when I got home today. “But it was already made!” she claims. OH, THE HUMANITY! And it had a freaking awesome gift and other goodies inside! But, I’ll tell you what: I’d like to ask her to STEP OUTSIDE!!! Then we’ll settle this! Her and her *$&(_&$ RAKs!!! I wish she would just take her $@%$#^% mail art THE HECK OFF OF SWAP-BOT and sell it on Etsy or somewhere like the other artists do! But noooooooooooooooo, she keeps insisting on sending it to Yours Truly, and for free nonetheless. FOR FREE, I TELL YOU! I am so tired of her constant ridiculous amounts of creativity and kindness and day cheeringupness and whatnot. Sometimes a person just wants to have a stubbed toe and wallow in their own pity. Or… or… or… to cry over their spilled milk in peace. YOU HEAR THAT??? That was my tiny violin playing!!! Of course you don’t. You just sit there, repeatedly sending UNAPPROVED, brain-numbingly wonderful mail art creations to me when all I want in life is to receive an undecorated, white envelope with a flag stamp and a two sentence note inside about how much someone loves quilting and their un-creatively-named dog. JUST WHERE DO YOU GET OFF, Ms. Stacy Roweena McStacerson? That’s right! I had to make you up a middle name so as to berate you properly!

Comment: A very well thought out swap just for me. I am enjoying the great items to create ATC's. Thank you so much

Comment: Thanks for all the goodies!

Comment: Wow! Your envelope is an amazing piece of mail art. So much depth, detail, and endless interest - in a class all its own. I consider myself very very lucky to be the recipient of your mail creativity. And, you sent along a terrific assortment of papers; I love the small black and white photos and everything else. Thank you Thank you and Hooray for me!

Comment: Stacy, Thank you for the creative and interesting goodies. Just love the owl tags and postage ephemera and had to hide them from my granddaughter!

Comment: WOW! You are amazing at mail art! That envelope was fantastic! And then I got to see what was inside and it was just as amazing! Thank you so much!

Comment: Stacy, thank you SO much, your envie is sooo lovely! I love how you created it! Sweet stamps and thank you for my first washi tapes! Sooo excited to use them! :D:D ♥

Comment: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Stacy ~ I am so, so sorry this rating is late! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Where do I begin?? You are amazing, even my 13 year old son said so too!! I love it, it's awesome ~ you are so talent & creative. It is one of a kind and it's all mine!! LOL Thank you so much! ♥♥♥♥♥

Comment: Stacy, I love, love, love the envelope you made for me!! It is such a joy to open the mailbox and see an envelope that is a work of art. Thank you!!! You are an inspiration. My "mail art" usually involves interesting paper folded into an envelope; I struggle with originality and creativity in that regard, I guess, I sometimes just don't know exactly where to start. I really enjoyed your note - I feel like we have SO MUCH in common!!! I hope we can swap again soon, and I'd love to stay in contact :)

Comment: I loved my happy mail and your note. I hope you have an day with Joy and not anxiety. I loved your envelope and thank you for making the sunflower on the back. I am going to incorporate your envleope into a journal somehow, it is a a keeper.

Comment: I love this PC! probably my favorite pc I've ever gotten. Anne taintor style is my favorite. Thanks so much! Also, sorry it took me a while to rate, life's been crazy. :)

Comment: All that comes to mind is simply AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE everything and then some. I actually carried around the envelope for a while before opening it because I was afraid to ruin it by opening it. I did finally do some very careful surgery and opened it without any problems, lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your work is beautiful. I cannot wait to get some amazing pieces done with what you have sent me. If you want to do another one, just let me know.

Comment: Great pc - I own a vintage pc that shows the same sign! I'm going to guess that you played an extra on The Brady Bunch. Did I get it right?

Comment: OHMUHGERD. Stacy from S2!!! That's it. I'm asking you to marry me. BEST MAILSENDERER EVER. Yep, once again, you have blown my mind with your ASTOUNDING MAIL ART. The eye travels from one item to the next, to the next, taking in every minute, bizarre, wonderful, thoughtful detail plastered on every millimeter of the envelope! I cannot believe how utterly personal and enjoyable you make these things. I also cannot believe you are for some reason not happy with the front! This ties with the other one you sent me for BEST ENVELOPE EVER. These are just fascinating. The Asian guy growing/stretching on the back was hilarious! :) And, holy guacamole, I cannot believe you sent my phrase in ASL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so freaking creative. If you're not already selling collages/art, you most definitely should. Thank you sooooo much for all the awesome paper goodness inside the envelope, too (and buttons and washi tape roll and mini stamps and notecard with cool envelope and #9 thingy - my favorite number)! :D You pick the most perfect stuff for me and I just love it. Thanks especially for all the Britishy themed stuff! :) Oh, Stacy, will you marry me? *grin*

Comment: Hello Stacy, Thank you for your more than 46 cents swap that I received today. What a great selection of things that you sent to me, and also the funny note enclosed so that I can get to know you a little. Have a good evening, anita

Comment: Thanks! I'm guessing the ex from Berlin is true??

Comment: Thanks for all the effort you put into this amazing letter...I especially loved the decorated and handmade envelope. This was a great swap to receive.

Comment: Great Einstein pc! However I am going to guess that you did stand in line with Mick Jagger. Am I right?

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: A wonderfully decorated envelope with goodies inside. What kind of paint/ink did you use on the envelope (with stencils?)? The extra paper are great colors/shades and textures/material. Thanks for the Maine postcards (I love Maine and collect postcards).

Comment: Love, love, love your envie! Haven't opened it yet... Im going to admire it for a few more days ;) Did you use wax on the envie? Way cool! You are an amazing Mailart artist Stacy Rollins! Thank you!! ((Biggie Hugs))

Comment: LOVED the envie full of gooodies and funnies!! Thank you!

Comment: Wow!! Thank you, I looooved it! I got your little canvas with a smoking cheshire cat on it. The whole package was fantastic =)

Comment: Thank you again for the INCREDIBLE mail art. I have to say, I'm a fan of your work. The little Moleskine is so cute...I thought I had little ones, but the one you sent is definitely smaller than the ones I'm used to writing in. Will have to add to it and send it back your way.

Comment: I received my mail today. I love the clear stamps. Thank you.

Comment: Thanks so much for the pretty butterfly mail art with the pretty notecard and extras. LOVELY mail :-)

Comment: Thanks for the wonderfully creative envelope and goodies! I love it all!

Comment: Beautiful mail ART. I can see you have put real thought and effort into making this brilliant composition. I also very much like the mail art envelope which you sent inside! I certainly don't want to send it away, so I'm going to try and use it in my home. Thank you for the great papers and postcard too. I am so glad you like my swaps. Swappers like you are who I love to host swaps for. Look out for more in the future, and keep on swapping :)

 

Comment: What a LOVELY Envie, Card and Extras I got today from you!!! Your envie was outstanding ♥♥100 hearts to you ♥♥ THANKS FOR ALL

Comment: I wish I could give you more hearts. This lovely piece of art just made my day! Thank you!!!

Comment: What a beautiful piece of art! Thank you. The ladies at the post office couldn't get over the "unusual" mail. My husband doesn't usually pay attention to the mail, had to see how it was made, lol. A success!

Comment: WoW...I wish I could give you 10 hearts. Thank you so much for the most awesomest thing I've received in a really really long time. It's perfect to go straight into my Smashbook of everything I can't let go of.

Comment: that was too funny! Thanks

Comment: Excellent PC, Stacy! This is just the kind of handmade I love! = ) ♥♥♥ Love your profile, esp. how you asked for a shout out to yer Mailman Vern.......

Comment: Thank you for the lovely Postcard. :)

Comment: Ahahaha, this is so awesome, Stacy! LOVE the envie, especially the bat (of course :) and the boobs with toothy grins on them, and "orgasm addict" and i LOVE the bats inside, woohoo, and Jimi! Did you make him? The envie will go in my art journal.

Comment: Thank you Stacy for the great MAINE postcard! I really appreciate it a lot! It's a great help for my collection. And for the neat message you wrote :3 More power!

Comment: Your postcard amused me! I am tall, lanky and have straight hair. I'm not blonde, though and my eyes are grey/blue :) Although I can't see water from my window, I live between mountains, and the river is about 50 m downhill. I am not very social, more of a hermit :P And I have lots of books back home, but now I live abroad, so my new collection is only budding :) That was fun!

Comment: Thank you for your card Stacy! It was lovely (:

Comment: My goodness. What a great envie and such wonderful stuff inside. I really love it all. Can't wait to use it. Thank you so much.

Comment: Thank you so much Stacy! The envelope is so beautiful, I love all the extra goodies and your list is great too :) xxx

Comment: Your enveolpe got here on a crap day and going thru it amused the heck out of me. Regardless of what the swap was for by description, your envelope was gorgeous. Mind you, with it being stiff, the top did split in the mail and it arrived in a plastic bag from the post office, but other than a small split in the top fold it was in good condition. Thank you for participating in the swap. I look forward to getting paired with you again at some point. You're awesome. * I gave the heart because the envelope was by all means 'busy' and obviously some work went into it. It was a fun package to go thru as well. Don't argue with your host! lol

Comment: Thanks for the creative postcard and using "artistamps" in a fun way.

Comment: Thank you so much for the cute card and paper pieces. They are lovely. But I was most impressed with the way cool mail art envelope it all came in! I tried to snip it open oh so carefully so I can save it! Thanks again!

Comment: God Bless You Real Good Miss Stacy, I just rec'd your beautiful hummingbird card, owl note pad $ beautifully decorated envelope. Your note touched my heart and made me cry. I have a stand that holds my favorite swaps and your card is going on it for whenever I need a reminder of the kindness of others. May you be blessed as you have blessed me! Ellie:-)

Comment: Thank you, Stacy! And welcome to Cut and paste! Great card! :)

Comment: Lover the packaging, and the package!

Comment: Great package!! Totally surprised... it seems that the 46 cents was on steroids :) !!! You made me happy!!!

Comment: Hello Stacy! Thank you for the heart shaped envie!! Love the design and papers you stuck 'em on, thank you for the lovely tix stubs and quote too!! *heartsNhugs

Comment: Thanks, Stacy, for all the stamped backgrounds...I love them all! I will surely use them, and you may get something from me one of these days and recognize one of them! I loved your envelope, too! Thanks bunches!

Comment: Thanks for all the craft items. I could use the items for my card making. I liked your mail art on the envelope.

Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely card and the goodies that you sent along with it! I love the list that you came up with! I am going to send a card to the elderly lady that you mentioned with dementia. Should I put something in there about who I am? Or just an anonymous hello? I love number 9: "Tell someone's boss they did a great job and should be recognized for it!" I try to do this often, because I know how nice it can be when someone does it for me. Thanks for the wonderful swap (and joining my swap) - I hope to swap with you in the future!

Comment: STACY! Thank you so much for the MORE than 46-cent package! You outdid yourself and DID MAKE MY DAY! Thank you very much! Your town sounds very nice and neighborly. Thanks again, Charlotte Huntley (porpie5)

Comment: What a wonderful surprise in my mailbox! You made my day, week, month, year, decade, etc., etc! This will definitely be displayed in my studio. Thank you so much for such a great piece of art with goodies inside. I do think you got it wrong, though...you are the lovely and I am the frumpy! And I'm so sorry you didn't find much orange. I love your humor and you are still making me smile! Thank you, thank you. I wish I could give you a million hearts.

Comment: That was the most awesome package I got ever! The contents are lovely too. And I can't believe this was for the 46cent swap! You definitely made my day. Thanks!!!

Comment: OMG Stacy I received your second package today, and words can't even come close to describe the happiness and joy your package gave me. If It was allowed I would have given you 100 hearts for such kindness and generousty in giving. Stacy is an awesome swap partner, who resend me the package, and paid so much just for it to reach my hands. Thank you so much :)

Comment: Great envelope. You decorated every inch of it. And, I love the canvas. I have several mini canvases, and I will add it to my collection. Love them both, thank you so much.

Comment: THIS WAS SO AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME. Your collage/painting on wood really did make my day/week/life. This was super thoughtful, time consuming, and way over 46 cents to send. Thanks so very much, it's hanging on my wall and being utterly appreciated. :)

Comment: Stacy: Thank you for your WONDERFUL collage mail--everything from inside out was truly delightful to receive.

Comment: Wow Stacy, I absolutely *love* the painting you sent me!! I didn't want to ruin the awesome wrapping it was mailed in! I had the biggest grin on my face when I pulled it out of my PO box. You are so talented/thoughtful, I also adored how you rolled up your note and tied it with a bow on the inside of the painting. Thank you so so much for the amazing painting on canvas! If I could give you more hearts I would! I have already found the perfect place for it and it's hung as we speak. If you ever want to do a private painting swap let me know!

Comment: Awesome thank you very much for the comment, Merry xmas to you ;3

Comment: Thanks for the comment. Waking up my teenage daughter is like trying to pry an oyster open... really hard to do and then kinda nasty when it's open. She's not a morning person at all! My 10 yo son, on the other hand, gets up pretty good. Which amazes me sometimes! Thanks again!

Comment: Wow! Wow! Wow, Stacy! You spoiled me rotten! It was like Christmas - I just kept pulling more and more out of the envelope! Everything is wonderful - especially the altered art pieces (my fave is the picture frame with the little girl wearing the pointy hat) they are gorgeous! did you make them and how do you get the glittery finish? Thank you so much and have a Merry Christmas! (o; Mary P.S. Sorry you had trouble at the Post Office. What about using a Flat Rate Bubble envelope? (o;
