The ones I know of are the Christmas card, gingerbread napkin (I will make a post card from it), a homemade post card from a local artist and 2 cotton table topers. This month was so wonderful to see you in my mailbox. May you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy 2025.

Comment: Always good to hear from you. Thanks for the letter :) Lots of changes coming up here, for sure. Spring quarter starts next week and I'm going to have extra classes, so I won't have much time - it's been tough to balance everything and I'm just so tired! I managed InCo, but I gave myself some leeway. Hoping to manage Write On in April too, but again, more relaxed! You should check out Brit Box, if you get a chance. So many good shows on that one, and all the Agatha Christie and they just added the newer Sherlock, with Cumberbatch and Freeman. So good! :) PBS is great, too, though!

Comment: Thank you for your thoughts! I feel much the same that it depends on what is happening as to how fast or slow it goes. I am really happy that you shared your dandilon story with me, I found it very bitter and couldn't eat the leaves but a tea is okay. I'm really glad it helped heal you, sometimes I guess the body just decides to detox somehow. :)

It's a messy project so have to be in the mood and outside for sure and not often. I found the same thing with trying to use copy paper, it fell apart so easily. I used various vintage papers and those held up very well. Use to find these inexpensive at thrift stores or yard sales. Not anymore. Lol That's interesting the use of buttermilk to pretreat. I'll have to try that next time. Thank you for an awesome swap!
Response: Thank you for the kinds words. I randomly had buttermilk. The you tube video I saw suggested soy milk but I don’t use soy milk and I figured buttermilk was good enough!

I was never really excited about Top Gun when it came out, but I"m sure we'll see it eventually. The theater you went to sounds awesome though! Our squirrel herd has thinned since I ran out of the seed. We'll see how many return when I remember to buy more. :) Falcon loves to chase them, but I don't encourage it too much! Like you said, pictures of expensive vet bills!! :(
Response: I don’t know why the hawks here ignore the squirrels maybe there are bigger animals they chase at the air friend nearby… we have lots of small birds that are the size of finches and hummingbirds and robins and some grey doves.

Comment: Thanks for sharing your list! I LOVE the Sue Grafton books!!!! I started listening to them on cassette in 2009, and the narrator really IS the voice of Kinsey Millhone, so I listened to the whole series that way. Those books are just SO great! :) I have no idea why the envelope was returned to you - it looks like it was addressed perfectly fine! Thanks for sharing your list. :)
Response: Yes I’m loving Sue Grafton’s books. I’m trying not to read them all like a total addict, in one sitting! May wait to listen to them after I read the print version first. I usually prefer audiobooks but I’ve dug into this one with the print and ebooks versions so I’m enjoying that modality. Tomorrow I’m visiting Santa Barbara which is referred to as Santa Teresa in the series! Can’t wait to try to see some of these spots in person.

I always appreciate people making art in their own style, no matter what that style is. And recycling. Your use of the postcrossing postcard is clever, and I may try it myself. However, the extra book page smells like mold and has ruined the actually swap. And I'm allergic to mold, so for me, I have to trash it. I'm sorry about that. Please be careful when sending aged/recycled items.

She talked about how to make your own backyard bee home and though we don't have any bees making a home in our backyard it was fun to put together a little place that one day they might make home! They do visit as do butterflies and dragonflies and every once in a while hornets or wasps too!

Comment: Hi Marie! It was lovely to hear from you and I enjoyed your take on audiobooks! Back in the day I did listen to the ones on cassettes - my car only had a cassette player and I drove long distances, always helped to pass the time! I recently listened to an audiobook that was called "Good Dog" - they said it was for kids 10 and over, there is no way as I bawled my eyes out! Not sure who decides what goes to each age group but felt that one was way off! Yours sounds the same way! What a wonderful memory of listening to radio shows with your family! I sometimes find the voices on the audiobooks to be grinding - but for the most part they are ok as I do enjoy being read to! Thanks again for the lovely share and the extra pcs! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: I got to read the journal in an email and the physical journal too! :) How did you punch the holes for the stitching? I 'borrowed' my husband's drill once to drill holes, but that's rather involved. haha I'm looking for other ideas!
Response: I think I responded to you in a message as I rarely go through these comments! I do have a Cropadial which I believe is made by Recollections. But before I bought that thing, I did used to use a good old hole punch or stole my husband's needle nose pliers to make holes. I learn a TON about this stuff from Nik the Booksmith at Youtube though I don't have all the tools and skills. I enjoy watching her make books and repurpose old books or upcycle them.

I do try those recipes, though I need a lot of time and space to make many of those. :) Thanks for sharing :)
Response: This week my husband Carl was musing about moving or living for an extended vacation like a sabbatical in Czech? I still think of it as Czechoslovakia ha ha but neither of us speak Czech he’s just musing I hope.

Comment: Thank you Marie for sharing your month's readings! The books you said you didn't finish are because you're still reading them or because you stopped reading them? I also like listening to the same stories over and over again, there's some sort of comfort in that, isn't it? In my case, they're short stories that I have in the mix of a playlist, so they always come up unexpected in between songs, and it's always a nice surprise.

I also appreciate your guidance on how you have been negotiating ratings and judgments on Swap-bot. I've been on Swap-bot since 2007, this past year has been the first year I have had real issues with swappers being a little more challenging . I am having good time again and enjoying all the swaps. I am participating in presently. It was a pleasure to have you as a partner for the first time on Swap-bot. I hope we have many more times to swap with one another. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!! Colorado mail in and out of the state has been slow as well as I am also awaiting a special form of low back surgery to keep my chronic pain at a Level that is tolerable. I am sorry for the delay.

Comment: Krampus stuff is still kinda hard to find. I found some cards on Amazon, but I gues he's still not really popular! :( But I also LOVE A Christmas Carol! I try to read the book each year, but I enjoy all the versions of the movies too. Do you have a favorite actor for Scrooge? There's one from 1938, I think, with Reginald Owen that I like and a 1950's version with Alastair Sim that I like. But I also like the Patrick Stewart version. And, of course, The Muppets Christmas Carol! :) Have you seen The Man Who Invented Christmas? About Charles Dickens writing the story? It was pretty good too. :) Happy holidays! :)
Response: I don’t know which version is my favorite! And I want to see the movie about Charles Dickens writing the book. Today I went downtown San Francisco on a rare outing and I had forgotten how many hungry homeless people are out panhandling. Made me think of Scrooge...after his dreams.

Response: Yes, for sprays I do them outside. My trick is to spray them inside a box, I lay the paper or envelope in the bottom of the box to catch the spray. Yupo paper is just a plastic paper. Very slick.

Comment: I think this is the ultimate problem with the TBR - interests and tastes change from time to time, and the books reflect that. At the beginning of the year, I'd planned to read a LOT of classics, then the year went on and I lost all interest in them, and decided to let them go for now. Now I"m looking for historical biographies (I blame re-watching Hamilton on Disney+ too many times!), and I have none of them on hand. :( THIS is why we need libraries! :) Thanks for sharing your progress!

This kind of learning through curiosity is right up my alley so thank you for that! Second, I'm kind of envious that your library's bookmarks feature local artists. We get some Scholastic ones that have cool images, but there is nothing really personal about them, so that's definitely cool that you get some local culture when you get your reading materials.

They were out of the house by the time I was in second grade, so I was practically an only child. My Dad and I were very close. I miss him every day. I'm glad you had a wonderful relationship with your grandfather. It touches my heart. Merry Christmas! Oh, and thanks for the tea!

Comment: Marie, thank you so much for this Betsy Ross card! On the day that it arrived, I had read a post from a historian I follow on Face Book named Tara Ross (no relation to Betsy) and learned a bit more about her-like she lived to be 100 years old, that she talked Geo. Washington into having the stars on the flag be 5 points instead of 6, and that she was born and died in Philly. And I'm sorry to say I've never been to Philly but it's on my list-and when I do make it the Betsy Ross house will be one of my stops! Thanks again!
Response: Philly really blew me away! I was not that excited but going around all these cool places really inspired me including the Betsy Ross house!

Comment: I always love seeing that you're sending me something, because you write fabulous notes and letters! I ALSO love spirograph and have one. I don't think it's the deluxe, it's like a circle one. But they're all circles. But still, I think this had something to do with circles. And RE the crayons - it's funny sometimes as adults how we realize that things we SOOOO prized and rarely received as kids are totally, simply, and cheaply accessible to us now. I have definitely purchased things based on that, though of course I can't think of one now. I always say, "I'm going to send you a reply soon," and you are definitely on my list, but I'm going through a very low-motivation period of life, so it may be awhile. But I'll be responding to ALL the great letters you've sent me, so when it DOES arrive, it will be very long and juicy! Take care and thanks for the cute and interesting notecard+ !
Response: No worries and no rush thanks for the long comment and I am super glad you appreciated all the details of my craft world.

I'll be hosting more of these artist inspired ones in the future and I'd love to see you back for those :)
Response: Glad you like it. I’ve only recently opened to tarot. I started to draw the ace of swords but ended up with the ace of cups! My husband Carl suggested I look up what the differences are so I could understand the switch. I just liked the imagery of the ace of swords but isn’t that amazing how the spirit works in art and expression? I love it. Thank you for hosting that swap I would have never discovered Luis Royo if not for your swap!

It takes a lot of courage to share something like that because, even if you've known the person forever, you never know how they will respond. For me, most of my friends and even some of my family don't know. It is the scariest when you have to bring it up in a new relationship. I basically told Bob 'Here's what can happen and this is what I need you to do when it does.' ~ All the best to you & your friend
