Comment: thank you

Comment: Thank you for such a beautiful ATC. I really appreciate the ephemeral images that you chose and how you interpreted the theme. Lovely!

Comment: Oh, Sonia! What an awesome flipbook with so much to discover! Your detailing is amazing...such lovely work. The puffin tag made me smile :) The Bald Eagle fascinates me. I watch a live cam from January until the nestlings fly in June and often inflict it on my students. Thank you too for the old envelope. Of course, it will be used!!

Comment: Thank you for your beautiful ATC! I really appreciate both the packaging and your creativity in the execution. Love the textures and the composition! <3 I also completely agree with your note. It is so devastating to see decades of progress ruined with so much ignorance and greed. Please be sure that there are many people (including me) actively fighting against this new status quo.

Comment: Dear Sonia, I received today your beautiful swap. Your work is always an inspiration for me!! I did not even want to open the envelope as pretty as it was set up. Thank you SO MUCH For this amazing assortment of beauties. I love it all!!! ♥♥♥

Comment: Thank you for the very cool "yellow fever" ATC, and all the other goodies you included. You made it a happy mail day for me. :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for this very special package! The pendant is super cute!

Comment: Hi Sonia - So sorry that I missed this rating until now. The Spring carvings (including your first adorable caterpillar!) are wonderful. Thank you for spring happenings in your part of the world too :D. Thanks for joining the swap!

Comment: Your swap made me so happy! I love my fairground goldfish, and angel ATC. It was so thoughtful of you to include so many items from my favorites list. I also like the pockets you made out of envie corners. (I'm going to use that idea for future swaps.) Thank you so much for an awesome swap.

Comment: This was an absolutely beautiful package of goodies. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Comment: Thank you for the fascinating PC that arrived today. I really appreciate it when senders write interesting facts about the subject on the PC! I'd give you several hearts if I could. I was surprised only 4 people joined the the swap. I hope this does't deter you from hosting this again. It's 1 of my favourite swaps. Hope it can be monthly. Regards Mark :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and extra special package. I could tell you put a lot of care and thought into the package. I learned even more about your nation from it. Thank you.

Comment: Your ATC is awesome, and I love the goodies, PC with note, and envie you sent it all in. What a wonderful swap!

Comment: Thank you so much for the postcard :)

Comment: Thank you for the great postcard. I really like the stamping you added. I've just recently seen works by Klimt. Like you said they can be a bit hotel. I do like them, I find the extra detail in everything interesting.

Comment: Wow!! I love the design you chose for your dream data. It's beautiful. And it's amazing how many dreams you remembered in a week. I usually only remember one or two. Some of your dreams had me giggling... like the one of the police watching YouTube videos in your office. Thanks for being a part of this swap :)

Comment: Thank you for the nice card and the rich info on the back! :)

Comment: Thank you for the cool vintage card from Berlin.

Comment: Your (now my...!!) concertina is a work of art, truly. It is stunning, detailed, and like a museum display of history. I am in awe of your drawings, information, and use of color. I can see it that paleontology is a passion! (My passion is musical theater, hope my partner likes concertina as much as I do yours.) And - thank you for the vintage French ephemera. Really, this was a special envelope. Multiple hearts for you.

Comment: You were right Sonia, I love everything you sent me!! Great variety, and there are some really interesting bits in there! Thank you, and thank you for playing in my swap! :D

Comment: I get super excited about receiving stamp swaps...this lovely envelope however went above and beyond.

I adore the map punches and the adorable ink stamps used to decorate and even a crab sticker!!! Love love love....and that's just the outside!! Now the inside was just an adventure to be had!!! Not only did you personalize the selection of stamps, the two postcards that you included were just so neat!!! I loved reading about the Austrian central post offices small toy sorting machine!!!

Comment: Oh Sonia! Vielen, vielen Dank für deine genähte Wundertüte! Das passt alles so wunderbar zusammen. Die Idee mit der angenähten Feder ist großartig, das werde ich auch mal ausprobieren! Und die tollen Briefmarken... Tausend Dank! <3

Comment: Chère Sonia, merci pour ta carte postale! Qui, nous félicitons Noël le 6 décembre. Je ne pense pas que pour voir le ballet on doit parler russe, on peut lire l'information sur le sujet de performance en anglais dans les bouclettes qû peut acheter au théâtre :) Malheuresement, il y a beacoup de gens qui ne parlent pas l'anglais, mais d'habitude en été il y a des volontaires qui parlent anglais, indiquent le chemin et aident les étrangers. J'espère que tu a passé ton examen de la langue francais et que tu as réussi. Moi, je aussi apprends le francais dans l'académie ou j'étudie, je l'apprends pour ma plaisir, car ce n'est pas la discipline obligatoire. Je crois, que un joir tu visiteras Russie et liras les livres que tu veux lire en Russe. Merci beaucoup pour créer cette échange! Bonne continuation! Marie

Comment: Sorry I forgot to rate you for this!! I loved it, thank you.

Comment: What a wonderful eclectic and recycled envie full of fun bird stuff! Every single piece made me smile! Love it. Thank you so much!

Comment: Thanks for resending - I love this postcard! I can't read it, but it is so cute!. I think I'll make a copy of it, so I can put the little chihuahua (I can read that!) together. Thanks so much for resending! And you dream as strange as I do! Thanks again!

Comment: Oh wow. This mailing completely made my day. I adore all of the stickers you made and your card and amazing cactus envelope are going into my journal. Thank you for offering to resend. I still have hope that someday the original mailing will find its way to my mailbox -- things like that do happen. :) Take care!

Comment: Thanks so much for the very cool heart! I love both sides of it, but I was surprised how nice the side with the bubble wrap turned out. I love reusing and including items meant for other purposes in my projects too! You mentioned owl pellets in your note and our family loves dissecting them too. My son is in Boy Scouts and it was the first time I had ever seen a pellet right around 2010. Since then we have dissected many. Love it! Thanks again for my Bird On a Heart!

Comment: Thanks for the pretty envelope. It was good to hear from you. Happy swapping.

Comment: Tks for the maxi PC SuMay! Neat writings of you, liking the facts you shared with me!

Comment: Sonia, I can't tell you how much I adore your Stamp Story...perfect presentation, delightful stamps, lovely envie. And including the old wedding photos...then TWO fantastic PCs WITH detailed comments explaining them? What can I say? YOU deserve a bouquet of hearts! Thus, I just sent my little carrier pigeon straight to Hamburg carrying a huge basket of red hearts for you. I'm now spoiled....you're the best! Hearts and hugs...jinanne

Comment: Oh @SuMay, what a package!!! I just love, love, love everything you have sent me... Each little or big piece is beautiful, full of character!!! Your 'almost' green piece and envie are stunning!!!! Will frame it!!! Thank you soooooo much for a great swap, full of love and care for my tastes!!!! (((((HUGSSSS)))))

Comment: Sonia, I really like how you 'customized' the card for me. You are truly talented! :)

Comment: Thank you for the neat postcard! There's so many interesting little bits to find on it :)

Comment: Stained glass is hard to find without entering a church. Thanks for the PC

Comment: Thanks for the nice card with kind explanation! It was fun to know about your country and where you live in :) Living close to the sea sounds really awesome! As for me, I should take a train to enjoy a sea. :D

Comment: Thank you Sonia! I loved the envelope and all the goodies you sent.

Comment: Gorgeous! If you had not said that you used handmade stamps, I would not have realized! What patience you must have in carving. I feel Lucky to have this. YEAR of the Rooster starts tomorrow!

Comment: Stunning drawing of the queen! I just love how you created this, one of my favorites. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this just for me!

Comment: Great stamps and stickers! :)

Comment: You are such a fantastic artist. The stamps you created are beautiful, and I'm very excited for them to get roughed up in the mail! Thank you for explaining the stamp on the envelope. The architecture is very interesting and I would love to see that building in person. The postcards and the Indian postage stamps are lovely as well. This package was wonderful all around. Thank you.

Comment: What wonderful items! Thank you so much! I love it all. The ATC is awesome !

Comment: I received your post today. What a lovely treat - a long, hand-written letter and on postcards, no less. Love the raptor cutouts. I will PM you about your letter. Much thanks.

Comment: Really nice! Thank you!

Comment: Dank voor je prachtige envelop. Ik vind hem erg vrolijk. Ook bedankt voor je extra spulletjes en je briefje. Inderdaad ik kom zo nu en dan in museum Boymans en Beuningen, altijd leuk. Maar ik denk dat jullie in Hamburg ook allerlei leuke musea hebben.

Comment: Die Karte sieht immer noch großartig aus. The card still looks great. I love the design. Thanks!

Comment: Wonderful SeaLife PC, front and back! Love all the rubber stamps and the whale drawing, and will look up the book at the library!

Comment: Thank you Sonia! I love this PC and the story behind it :D

Comment: Super idée, la pochette secrète de ta carte! J'aime beaucoup les tampons que tu as gravé pour l'année du coq: il faudra que j'en fasse un moi aussi et que je le signe et le date avec les tampons que tu m'as faits ;-) Je t'écris donc bientôt!

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard and your very nice and long message on the back!!! Vielen lieben Dank <3

Comment: Thank you so much for your inspiring words of inclusivity and hope. Thanks also for the generous assortment of ephemera, all so interesting to look at, particularly the artwork on the invitation. Your envelope, too, was wonderful, especially your hand carved stamps and the "Tag der Briefmarke" postage stamp. Nice!

Comment: Sonia, thank you so much for your thoughtful letter and extras! I discovered something else we have in common apart from amphibians I also don't have a driver's permit! Loved all the beautiful glittery things you provided!

Comment: Vielen Dank für den Bericht und Spitzenidee für einen swap. Wiederholung zur Stunde der Gartenvögel?

Comment: Thank you, Sonia. I want to ride my bicycle into the sky too! Your lovely silver cutout words unfortunately didn't adhere to the card, but I stuck them back on to get the intended effect. Love your envie with all the stamps & stickers, plus the card playing royals on the postage stamp are a hoot! The Surrealist Encounters exhibit does indeed sound like something I'd enjoy. If only my bicycle really COULD fly!

Comment: Thank you Sonia. The sandpaper is brilliant. Did you carve the ship stamp on the note card? It's beautiful.

Comment: Love the bird artwork, Su May! I'm definitely a bird nerd! And love your decorated envelope and "real" stamp! Thank you so much!

Comment: I dont know how you got "all that" on the 4x6! But I took a clue from you and did the same thing. lol I didnt even know it was possible. You decorated it so pretty esp. with the gold! You got glitter "all over"? lol You could put in a application to lead Santa sleigh next year! lol Thank you so much for a fun swapp! Happy New Year!

Comment: Thanks so much for hosting, this was a great swap. The pc you sent me is beautiful and I LOVE the story about Gnatasha! :) ♥!

Your lettering and the beautiful stamps make this extra special! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry Believe it or not, I received the original one that you sent about "Thurber's Dog" on April 4th, 2017. Amazing!

Comment: Thanks for the great danish card

Comment: thank you!

Comment: I could have been happy with just the envelope! Such lovely stamps - very Asian, and the rooster is fantastic! Then there are all the gold embellishment stickers - they are just lovely. I love the entire package. The card you made is lovely - feels like a special or handmade paper, too. And the goodies are great! Last, but not at all the least - and the reason I'm listing it last is because I didn't notice it until I'd opened up everything else - I love the Top Value stamp next to the postage stamps! How fun is that - I was cracking up when I saw it! I love those and S&H Green stamps - they remind me of pasting them in Mom's book when she got home from the store! Thanks for a great Chinese New Year prep!

Comment: Thank you I loved reading about your volunteer work with the sanctuary !

Comment: Sonia - your swaps are the greatest on earth. You artworks are incredible!!! You have made my day - one more time. I am impressed!!!

Comment: Thank You so much for your beautiful package! It made me extremely happy :) i really like the extras! It was nice to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Lithuania! Hope you get an opportunity to visit it again! Thanks once more for this awesome swap! :)

Comment: thank you :) love the fdc!

Comment: Thank you for the letter that you very nicely hand inked! I am amazed that you were able to write the entire letter with ink. It is very interesting to read too. Thanks for hosting all these neat swaps.

Comment: Hi Sonia! Love the pc and thank you for the lovely share of what you are thankful for! How wonderful that you had such a awesome opportunity and made the most of it! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: What a lovely swap - you put a smile on my face today. I adore the envelope - the owl eye is incredible - you're very talented! I'm looking forward to using the tags and postcards in my smashbooks and crafting with the postage stamps. Thanks again. Happy Swapping!

Comment: Beautiful still life! Iy rally looks so life like. Thanks for the nice note and use of cute Stamos and nice postage.

 

Comment: Outstanding swap again, Sonia. What can I say? Wonderful!

Comment: Amazing. I picked up the mail on Saturday...a rainy day so what better than to get this beautiful envelope. Great job!

Comment: I absolutely adore this postcard, so creative and funny (and well-executed)! It's going straight on my wall - the only downside of that is I won't be able to see the fabulous Asterix stamp! Thank you very much :)

Comment: Thank you

Comment: Very nice aerogramme and stamp of the card-playing royals. Even the postmark used an envelope image. But your letter was the treat - lovely and engaging. Thank you for sharing your winter experiences in French class and at the bakery!

Comment: Dear Sonia, Thank you very kindly for the beautiful mailart envelope you sent me along with the generous gifts inside. Your thoughtfulness and artistry are evident in each facet of this beautiful piece. It's a treasure. It makes me smile to think of the beauty you're sending out into the world!

Comment: As soon as I saw your envelope in my mailbox I could tell this was going to be a wonderful swap and it was! I absolutely love your envelope and the creative way to open it without destroying it. Your kind note has brightened my day. What a cute card you used and your handwriting is so pretty! I do like living in my new house, even better than when I lived in the country (I live in the suburbs now). If you can believe it it's actually quieter here than when I lived on some acreage! Yes! Everytime I've moved I noticed I can't seem to find everything I had before. Why is that?! It seems like no matter how good you label the boxes things still seem to disappear. Haha I enjoyed hearing about the Christmas markets and I have longed to go to one for years. I dislike crowds, but I think putting up with this would be worth the experience. There's actually a Christmas market in Holland (28 minutes from me) this weekend that I hope to attend. Holland is one of my favorite cities as it's very quaint and you can find many imported merchandise. I appreciate you reading my profile and sending me things that I was sure to love. :) I look forward to putting all the items to good use. Thank you so much for your kindness!!! I wish you a very Merry Christmas!!!

Comment: Danke für den grandiosen "Christmas Tree" und den "Santa-Anhänger" :-) Good job. Well done. 1! Setzen! :-)

Comment: WOWZA! Beautiful envie! Thank you so much. i haven't sent mine you yet, but this will make me up my game. Just beautiful. Thankyou!

Comment: Merci beaucoup pour une carte postale très jolie -- j'aime les dessins de Robert Morris parce qu'il combinait des techniques médiévales avec un esprit victorien. Vous avez une belle écriture :) Merci aussi pour le lien vers le ballet! Je me souviens d'étudier Peer Gynt dans la classe d'appréciation de musique comme un enfant. Je rêve de regarder Le Casse-Noisette dansé par New York City Ballet. Danseur étoile Sara Mearns semble brûler comme une flamme quand elle danse; j'aime sa passion, son intensité et son énergie. Félicitations pour votre cours et votre citoyenneté!

Comment: Thank you for a lovely decorated envelope and lots of great science stuff inside! :) Dankeschön für deinen wunderbaren Brief, der nach nur einem Tag schon angekommen ist! (Tut mir leid, dass ich erst heute rate, ich war gestern nicht da) Ich habe mich sehr drüber gefreut und es hat Spaß gemacht erstmal den Brief minutenlang von außen anzuschauen, bevor ich ihn geöffnet habe :) sehr hübsch dekoriert! Danke für die schöne Karte, wo dein Science Text stand, fand ich sehr interessant zu lesen. Die Mini Broschüre über Laser fand ich echt süß und hübsch erklärt, danke! :) Und ich hatte bei dem Swap echt Glück, dass ich dich bekommen habe, so habe ich auch den Neurologie Text bekommen ;) Ich finde Neurologie sehr interessant. Von dem Thema habe ich zwar schonmal einen Text gelesen, aber das war vor Jahren und ich erinnere mich kaum noch daran, so kann ich meine Erinnerung wieder auffrischen. Ich liebe insbesondere Neurologie-Sprache Überschneidungen, das ist super interessant :) und danke für die Karte vom Gehirn, hat mir auch sehr gefallen :) Dankeschön also für einen insgesamt wunderbaren Brief! Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende! :)

Comment: Firstly, thank you for sharing your resolution to "kick the beauty habit" with me. I will respond to that privately in the mail. Secondly, the envelope you made for me was awesome! There is nothing that brightens my day like a decorated envelope. Thirdly, you put cool pieces of ephemera in foreign (to me) languages in there too. I LOVE them! I have always been interested in foreign languages. I have a friend who is from Russia and one from Mexico and I always make them speak their native languages to me. I find them fascinating. Thank you for what you sent. I appreciate the care and effort you put into this swap.

Comment: merci beaucoup pour ta carte et ton texte... la beauté est une question de point de vue, j'aime beaucoup tes remarques sur les poils des jambes féminines ;-) moi, ça ne me gène pas, même sous les bras 💗

Comment: Danke für die tolle Karte mit der besonderen Marke. Auch danke für die Einladung zum "Sip of Malt". Auf unserem Weg nach Schweden fahren wir ja immer an Hamburg vorbei. Also sei vorsichtig mit deinen Einladungen.

Comment: It's awesome that you cut quills! Thanks for a lovely letter

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful pc! I love Paris! And it helps with my name too! Xoxo

Comment: Thank you for your funny dog postcard and lovely text you wrote! :)

Comment: Thank you! :)

Comment: Sonia, I totally hit the jack-pot with me being your partner for this swap-thank you so much! You make me feel bad because my partner got a 4 year old pc, not a very special one over 100 years old with very cool French stamps (I better not tell him what I got, eh?). Lucky for me I have been to the Eiffel Tower--still have a Tower-shaped decanter of cognac that I bought at the gift shop there way back in 1978. thanks again for 'letting go' of this card--it will remain in my permanent collection for many, many years!

Comment: Dear Sonia - thanks a lot for the Astra-card! :-)

Comment: Sonia, this is an awesome postcard. I love all the texture and different elements you sewed onto the paper. What is the background? Chocolate candy wrapper?

Comment: Wow, what a fantastic swap!! The stamps are absolutely stunning. Both the postcards are wonderful - I especially love the old sepia one. As a photography student, it's interesting that there is actually a record of the photographer who took them! Also loved the altered playing card and the bits of ephemera. Totally made my day! Thank you!

Comment: What a lovely note, dearest Sonia! I loved hearing of your classes and your adventures in Paris! This is one of the nicest notes I've received on swap-bot--so informative and uplifting. I wished I could experience it all with you! I love the postcards and the bits of ephemera you sent as well. Just wonderful!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful postcard! Have a great day! Shelley

Comment: Love the Ace of Hearts Halloween Avian atc, Sonia! Thank you so much for sending and for the great extras!

Comment: Wow! These are amazing! What a score to find an old photo album. Makes you wonder what happened to the family that the album ended up like that. You're treatment of these is awesome! Love the "bloody" fingerprints. It's all so very creative! To answer your question - there are days that I'm so far outside my comfort zone that I wonder what I've gotten myself into! Those are the best days! LOL Thanks again!

Comment: Great ATC Sonia! I love the skulls on the ATC, but the background you used is great too.It looks stamps of some sort? Thanks for the tuck ins too. My favorite was the vintage pic of the little girl. I was wowed by your envelope too! I loved my Spirograph set when I was a kid and what a great idea to decorate an envie with along with your local stamps. Great swap! Thanks so much.

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful sugar skull mail art. After a rough start to my morning, it made my day to come home to such a pretty piece of mail.
