Each guest received a tiny basket with the gingham “blanket”, mug and “honey”, and shower info on the lid. It was so much more fun than a paper invite! I’m glad you enjoyed everything.

And I enjoyed reading about your celebrations gone by....we had a quiet day this year too....went to one of the Finger Lakes here in NY and sat by the shore soaking up the sun and reading a book, had a picnic :) We got together with church families on the 6th for a bon fire, food, fellowship and home style fireworks...my grands loved it :) Thanks for a great swap, another original painting and I hope you are enjoying summer!

Comment: Oh Holly, what a lovely Creative Space swap you made for me. Your watercolor illustrations are awesome - they are like the ones I see in field journals at the book stores. I love your quirky descriptions too. ;) and put some of the same "self-judging" explanations in my own descriptions (mostly about my crooked 3D depictions. LOL and that I shouldn't "quit my day job!"). Like you didn't need to add that the arms of the chair were crooked... Seriously though - your fine detail drawings of your cool pencil holder/pencils and brushes with the teeny tiny writing on them that I could read - wow! That cabinet is a way cool find. I'm a good organizer...hmmm....:) The Walmart shoe tree turned storage for all sorts of cool things is neat. I don't think I have space in my art space to put something like it, but I enjoyed hearing all that you put on it and ideas for what could go on it!! My cat hangs out in my room too, but she's only 7 lbs and she sits on my window sill until she wants down and then she'll usually walk across whatever I'm working on at the desk. I have to be careful not to leave the ink pads open. I'd better stop rambling. Thank you so much for sharing your very creative "Creative Space" description with me!! Many hearts to you.

You deserve more than one heart! ♥♥♥♥♥
Response: I'm glad you liked everything!!! I was too heavy handed with the wisteria, trying to do it from what I remembered from my "lesson" a few days earlier without looking (and I should have looked!) but it ended up ok so I hoped you'd appreciate the effort anyway.

Comment: Awesome, awesome, awesome! I love your typed letter--mistakes and all. And hilarious, by the way! I love the labels--even if they don't stick well. That means I can move them if I place them in the wrong spot. ;-) I especially love, love, love the card and envelope with the hand-drawn art. I will never, ever give them away. The card will be placed on my inspiration wall. Thank you so much for a happy, happy swap!
Response: Thanks for hosting such sweet fun swaps. And for your inspiring blog!!

It's crazy how much stuff we have in common...I was quite surprised to see one of my gelli-printed owls on the back of the envelope. I can't remember if I sent it to you in a different swap or if someone else passed it along...in any case it was a happy, funny surprise. I may have to steal your idea and create a circle envelope for swap recipient. I can't wait to see what you send next -- although it will be difficult to top what I received today :) Addendum: Part 2 arrived yesterday in the form of circle and purple themed pocket letter, and I adore everything about it. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail are stellar!! I love the washi samples, fun paper clips, postage, and stickers. Thank you for a fantastic pocket letter and swap :)

Comment: You send the best swaps - the envelopes are all nicely decorated and I love your notes - don't worry, lady bugs are fine :). The post office put your swap in one of their see-through envies and apologized for a bit of postage damage, but it was only a little and didn't harm anything and it wasn't opened, so everything was intact I believe. Your Zentangled/doodled cards are fabulous and yes, I love the stamps, the envies, the goodies inside them, everything!! Thank you for a fabulous mail day, and a very Merry Christmas to you!
Response: Oh merry Christmas!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!

Both the (huge) set of travel rubber stamps and travel pocket will be going with me on my upcoming trip. The rubber stamps will accompany me on ALL future trips, actually – such great sayings and images. :) The pincushion is now standing next to the two pretty handmade ones you sent me in another swap, and what a beautiful display they make! :D Thank you for another great swap, another year of friendship, for being a super and fun swap partner, and for being a great friend! ♥ (This is your 600th rating - congratulations!) ♥ MERRY CHRISTMAS! ♥

Comment: Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow wow... Treasure beyond measure, baby! :D I seriously don't know how to rate you for this fabulous (and crazy generous) swap!! I love the rubber stamps you sent (in a Whitman's tin, no less!) and they are a fabulous addition to my collection. (You know a tin is seriously stuffed when you find other goodies - like the pretty sewing pins - taped to the outside of the tin. When one can't even fit pins into a package, then it is stuffed to the max well and truly... rofl) Good thing I'm not the boss of you or you would have gotten a hot ear from me because this swap is more than just simply 'above and beyond.' Thank you for yet another great swap and for being such a great friend and swap partner!! ♥♥♥ (My sincerest apologies for rating you two weeks late - I received the swap just before we went on holiday, but unfortunately I didn't manage to rate you before we left.)
Response: Oh yay yay i was so excited to be sending you that!!! I knew youd live those (and the tin... And i promised you the pins ages ago for the pincushion and forgot) Most of the stamps are the ones from @shelleym that I decided I didn't need and would share with you, if that gives you any idea how many she sent me (cause I kept a ton!!) I'm so glad you liked it and that you were notthebossofme!

Comment: Hi Holly, This is a bit of a mixed rating! I love the Tinkerbell figure and the mermaid bookmark. Both are beautifully made and I'm really pleased to have them. And I enjoyed reading your letter. Sadly the envelope didn't survive its transatlantic journey -- it arrived with a large chunk missing which had been replaced by sticky tape by the Post Office. There was no Hook related item in the parcel so I presume that fell out somewhere along the way. However, given that you have separately sent an extra Hook item, that -- when it arrives -- could be the third item for this Pick 3! 13/8/14 - Holly, thank you for the extra Peter Pan items which arrived today -- I feel totally spoiled! And I think the bookmark is great! (as are the envelope and the Barrie portrait!) Thanks again.
Response: Agh!!! Well never fear... Replacements on the way! (The hook item was a bracelet with a captains wheel and an anchor on it :-( I'll see if i can find another of those. And this envie will make it!!!!)

I love all the fun animal cutouts for my future mailart. When in NY, buy a pass for the Apple double decker bus. You can get on and off all day and travel to Little Italy, China Town, to Battery Park to the Twin Tower Memorial. One price all day or even a 2-3 day pass. The artists in Central Park are amazing! Thanks again, Mona
Response: I'm glad you liked it. What a great suggestion!! I will! You will LOVE London. We took a walking tour of Dickens favorite spots (all mentioned in his books) the first night, and it was our favorite thing! (From the Dickens House museum) The Sherlock Holmes museum was funny but also really well done. If you need suggestions let me know! We're going back this Christmas. :-)

(Also, the word you chose to describe me left me glowing with pride. :) I thought you were going to go with 'weird', so imagine my surprise. lol) The little sleeve is a great idea, that I no doubt will have to steal the next time I'm in an ATC swap. :) Thanks for a great swap, Holly!
Response: Haha yeah weird was my second choice but too long for the card. ;) I apologize for hiding other words in there but it was so hard to fix on ONE. I was proud of myself gor the restraint i showed. And don't you love the little elephant? :-)

I travel for pleasure only rarely anymore, so my mail art does the traveling for me. Thanks for such a creative treatment of the circus book and especially for the additional cutouts. I love the stickers you made from your hand carved stamps. A carver myself as you know, I'll send along some ATCs with my prints. Have a terrific weekend!
Response: It was so much fun to do. I was both excited and terribly disappointed when at the post office last week, too late for this swap but only barely, i found they have vintage circus poster stamps now!!!! Argh!!! I bought them OF COURSE but was so wishing one had gone on this swap!! :-(

Comment: Thank you for you very well handdrawn Christmas Card. It is so lovely. I wish, I would be more interested in drawing myself, but I guess, I am just not the person for it. So I appreciate your card even more. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Response: I am glad you liked it! This was a good idea for a swap. :)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely card and great suggestion! I used to leave in Norfolk and one of my best friends currently lives a couple of blocks from Colley Ave. I've been to the Naro for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I've been there during the day and I when I was there I did not notice that they sold baked goods (must definitely get some the next time I go!) I also did not know that they showed those Christmas films; I will have to see if my friend wants to go there this year since her apartment is within walking distance. I am going to see her this Wednesday, and since I received your card I think we will try Bella Pizza for the first time :-) We usually go to Kelly's or No Frill Grill (I highly recommend both if you haven't been there!) Anyway, thanks again for the card and happy early birthday!
Response: Thank you... happy holidays to you!! :)

Comment: Okay, so far I've been really good and haven't opened any of these... but it's not easy when one of them smells so good! :) UPDATE: WOW!!! First off, let me tell you what a fabulous swap this was... I spent my Christmas Eve opening all my goodies, and was blown away by everyone's creativity and generosity! We'll have to do this again next year, or maybe something similar even sooner?? On to your goodies... great assortment of teas... can't wait to try the loose tea! And that "tadpole" spoon is fantastic... I don't have anything like it! The book looks great (I keep meaning to try some Douglas Adams), and I love how you managed to tie it in with the whole "tea" thing! :) Fantastic job all around!
Response: It was funny that you were my partner for both!! I hope you will enjoy what I prepared for you. I really had fun getting both swaps together!! (I was stressed about the Little House one, being homemade, but once I got going it was really fun... and I found JUST the perfect thing for the Cup and Chaucer one! )

Comment: Confession: I couldn't resist peeking at the unwrapped items and the outer note... LOVE (and needed!) the gloves, and the scarf is gorgeous! I'm so touched that you made the stocking from your son's jacket! I love things made from fabric with a story behind it. I'll try to be good and save the wrapped items for Christmas (even though something smells AH-mazing!!!), and will update your rating then. But you definitely get a heart just from what I've seen (and smelled!) already! :) Thanks, Holly! UPDATE: Ah, so it was the gingerbread garland that smelled so amazing!!! :) LOVE IT! The cards are exquisite, I can't decide if I want to send them out or hoard them for myself! :) I'm flattered that I got scarf #2-- it's beautiful and will make a great addition to my collection! I've always liked your little notebooks (the last one was a a lifesaver on my vacation!), and as for the chocolate... you're right, no explanation needed! :) And again, I'm touched that you used your son's fleece to make the stocking! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, HOLLY!!! A blessed Christmas to you and yours! :)

The notecards and postcards are wonderful as are the red-headed jokes and the poetry is sublime. I got it earlier in the week on a day that I really needed a hug and your box was a cornucopia of hugs. Thank you so much.

Then, I open it up to find all these incredibly creative, wonderful items!! I like your idea of notepaper on the Danish-English dictionary pages. What a clever way to reuse! The owl postcard that you drew is absolutely gorgeous! I can't send it...I just can't. It has to be put on my refrigerator so my daughters and I can enjoy it each day. (I hear owls often outside in the trees in the pastures so they are a bird that brings me much joy in the mornings!) The "journaletters" that you made are brilliant! What a great way to send a longer letter. Your package absolutely brightened my day! It was so fun to go through! Thank you for your generosity and sharing your creativity with me!

Comment: What a gorgeous postcard! I love bats. ;D And as always, I envy your ability to draw like that-- I couldn't manage that in a million years. (And the stamps on the back were adorable, too. Your own work?) Great quote. I've never read any Jasper Fforde, but he sounds like fun, thank you! ;D
Response: I'm glad you liked it! He is really fun... hardly "classic" but very worthwhile, in my opinion!! It's hard to make a postcard swap special, so I really tried. :D

The charms and the "see through" feature and the poem were lovely! I like that you included the full poem as well, it really touched me as I can relate to it so well. It was a wonderful swap! Thank you!
Response: I am so glad you liked it... I always wonder, once I send it off, if someone else will appreciate it! :)

I still like Peter Pan more but I am full of sarcasm myself and like the little cuts he makes about us. But Pooh is just lovely. I'm so glad he made it. (If you like poetry look up some of his adorable poems, too... AND I loved his grown up The Red House Mystery.)

Excellent choice of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, too-- it's extremely funny to think of them visiting Avonlea and all the trouble they'd get into while they were there. Thank you for your awesome letter! ;D
Response: Yeah my daughter told me emphatically today as I read your letter that Anne would NEVER like Tom and his uncooth ways...but I am not so certain. Plus she was trying to get Gilbert steamed, too, I'm sure. She suggested I might have tried Katie Carr from What Katy Did as a good friend for her, but I still like Tom. :)

Response: I'm so glad!!... there's always a bit of time after I mail out a package where I start second guessing myself and thinking it's a crap package, so I am glad to hear it's not! You can use the little book as a personal notebook or seal it and stick it in the mail (probably two stamps). Enjoy!!

The little handmade notebooks are really cool, and I love those 100-cal. packs! The teas look yummy, and I can't wait to try them in that exquisite little cup, stirring in some honey with that gorgeous spoon! :) Such a thoughtful, wonderful package to brighten up an otherwise dreary day (which included a freak snowstorm, and hubby spending money he shouldn't have...) :( Anyway, thanks so much, Holly, you ROCK! Come tea party with me anytime! :)
Response: Oh I'm SO glad to hear that it brightened your day... that's awesome!!!! And this is bad but I can't really remember which notebooks I sent... if they are trifolding, you can use them either as a personal little notebook or seal them and mail them as a long letter. :)

Comment: Making this swap was almost as much fun as getting it! Holly put in the most creative, fascinating, and clever items to help me envision the world of 'Going Postal' by Terry Pratchett. I'm personally delighted that I was able to introduce her to the book, and that her sense of wit and whimsy quite matches the author's intent. (The game, without being too specific so as not to ruin the book for anyone who HASN'T read it, was absolutely a perfect choice, and I and my Kitkat will have so much fun playing it together!) I'll swap with her any time, if I get so lucky.... Hugs and hearts, Judith

Comment: Thank you, Holly for the beautiful pressed flower bookmark and for the lovely pressed flowers! And I really like the quote you put on the back of the bookmark. I will enjoy this one for years. Marie Ann
Response: It was my pleasure. I was worried that I didn't have enough flowers to send, even though I had what the swap said, it just didn't seem like enough! I have been using lots of flowers and leaves on things this month. :)

Response: Thank you for the compliments. :) I hope it really was fine. I loved the journal itself, but felt guilty not doing anything creative on the pages! But it was such a cool journal all on its own I didn't want to mess it up. AND I was lazy! :)
