				Response: It is really good!  I think you could do without the spinach.  Maybe stick in something else green to make it pretty.  I hope your family likes it!

				Response: Thank you for such a kind rating and comment.  I think the smaller feathers are from doves, and boy, do we have a lot here!  I am not sure what the larger feather is.  My granddaughter picks them up on her walk from school, and I try to figure out crafts to do with them.  She was quite proud that I was sending them to you!

				Response: I'm so happy you liked everything I sent.  It's fun to gather things that might fit your needs.  You know, I have thought about selling my tatting stuff.  I just haven't figured out how to do it, so I share with my friends!

				Response: I have had so much fun making these envelopes.  I got a calendar at Christmas which I did not need, but there were such pretty pictures I just couldn't throw it away.  It sat next to my desk, and one day I needed an envelope, had none the right size and inspiration hit!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I have sent this swap two times...on June 18 and, after getting the package back, again on September 18.  I will message you to confirm the address and resend again.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I did attach a recipe.  I didn't think that it might not survive the trip.  I will get a copy in the mail to you.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: We like it because you can fix it the night before...and open a few presents while it is cooking!
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I really love tatting!  It is very soothing and gives me something to do to keep my hands busy.  A snowflake takes about 45 minutes, but rewards me more than that!  Thanks for your kind comments.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am glad you like what I sent.  I wish I could affer a tutorial,,,but I have only been able to teach in person.  There are books out, but everyone I have talked to has trouble following them.  Maybe you could find someone where you live that would help.

				Response: My "old maid" Aunt Pauline taught me to tat.  She did it all the time, and I loved watching her.  Most of my dresses when I was little had tatted lace on them.  I am now teaching my 10-year-old granddaughter to tat.  She is quite proud of herself!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: When I put swaps together, I love thinking that the recipient will enjoy them.  I am so pleased that you liked what I sent.  I hope we will be swap friends in the future.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: As I said in my message to you yesterday, I had not sent this swap to you because your address was not listed.  When I checked, you were partially suspended.  I was checking on old swaps that I had not closed out, and discovered that your address was back.  I will be sending the swap within the next week.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I have to confess....it wasn't my first Dotee!  But it was the first of the 30 Christmas Dotees I am making for gifts this year.  I am having fun creating little personalities and sharing with my relatives and friends.  I am so glad you liked the Dotee and the cards.  It gives me pleasure to make others happy.

I am so glad you liked them.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Happy Birthday!  I am so glad the box made it before your birthday.  It is hard to wait.  I got my swap and just sit and wonder what is in those packages.  Have the best birthday ever.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am so gald you liked my Dotee.  And I am most pleased that your son likes her.  Children's praise is the best there is!
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: You have made my day!  Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement.
			
					 
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am so happy you are reusing my notecard.  I love "recycling" things.  Thank you for the heart.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: The magazine has been in my things for ages.  I finally decided that I would share it with others.  I am so glad you like it -- and my ATCs.  I always think other people are so much more creative than I am.  It's nice  to hear encouraging words.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I think my inablilty to think of ways I sabotage myself was some sort of sabotage!  I am just very good at it!  I don't think it is a positive thing, but something I need to work on.  I am busy trying to be more aware of how I sabotage myself.  Another way of growing.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am so glad you liked the jokers.  I was very excited when my friend gave me the decks of cards -- I have been hoarding them. I was hoping you didn't have any like them.  You are so welcome.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am so pleased that you liked what I sent.  I was apprehensive about the ATCs, so I am glad you felt they were special.  I am downsizing pictures, so chose ones that I liked but had similar ones.  Tatting is easy for some people.   I am not sure I could learn from a book, although there are instructions out there.  You might find someone who tats and is willing to get you started.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am so glad you like it!  I think it is fun to look at alder craft books.  They remind you of how life has changed, even in just 30 or so years.  I also got it because it had several crafts that you are interested in.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: What a nice thing to do!  I hope you won't be disappointed.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I really appreciate you being so patient -- and your wonderful comments!  I really enjoy putting together packages and thinking about the recipients and how they might feel opening them. I am so glad you were pleased!
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thank you!  I appreciate your patience and understanding -- and your kind comments.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I think tatting is easier than crochet. I too have problems with the shaping in crochet.  I am not sure I could learn to tat from a book.  Maybe you can find someone who could teach you.  I am so glad you liked your package!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: How interesting!  I wish we were neighbors and could tat together.  I bet you would remember if you were with someone else doing it.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: You have made my day!  Thank you for such a glowing comment.  The "Joy" mini was one of my favorites too.  I cut the base out of a catalog.  Making mini and ATCs has made me read catalogs and magazines differently!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I have a very red face.  I just found your feedback.  I am so sorry for the earlier e-mail!  Thank you so much for such nice comments.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Please don't be embarrassed.  I am just glad that you got my word, which I dearly love!  Keeping swaps organized is a real challenge. I have mine on note cards -- probably not the most efficient system -- and sometimes I feel like I am shuffling a deck!  Thank you for the rating!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thank you for your comments.  This was my first time making ATC's, and I was very nervous.  Do you have any suggestions to improve them?
