				Response: Ah, thanks. He's working on it! He won't admit it, but his stay in the hospital did a world of good. He just likes complaining about it. I hope things with your dad improve. It's not fun to be in and out of the hospital.
			
					 
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Ugh, right!? We just got a cold front yesterday. I don't trust it.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: That's too early for Title Wave... it's in the Northern Lights Shopping Center in Spenard (at Northern Lights & Minnesota).  I love Anchorage.  It's such a laid back place.  I also worked at the GIGANTIC JC Penny's downtown for a short time.  The time you were there is the exact time I know nothing.  My dad grew up in Palmer, but he left in 1969 and visited his sister periodically in the 70s, and then not again until 1999.  I lived there 2005-2013.

				Response: Yay!  My 1000th 5.  :)
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Good to hear.  I like that this site introduces me to people in places I might not have thought of otherwise.  I'm glad you like the card.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: And thank you for the heart
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: :) Thanks, you too.  Thank you for the heart.
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked it.  Thanks for the heart.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: You're welcome.  Thanks for the heart.
			
					 
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks for the heart
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I've been keeping my postcards in binders, but I'm thinking I might need some out to look at and change out.  
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks for the heart!

				Response: I can't believe the card I sent you!  I didn't mean for it to be prophetic.  Please stay safe.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks for the kind words.  I needed a small break, but I'm back to it this week.  I hope to see you in swaps
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: :)  It was meant to be.  I hope your friend is doing okay
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: We did sort of an altered version of Shannon Green's Journaling by 5s (http://shannongreen.blogspot.com/2015/02/journaling-by-5s.html).  .  We were also inspired by a couple of Jennibellie videos.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVopeG2lo9E & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy9EsMhgams ... We did 10 backgrounds for paintings.  We did swap 5 each halfway through too, so some of mine aren't only by me.  It was fun and now i have a clear direction for 10 paintings to complete later.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: That stamp was a cheap eraser, so I just drew my image in pencil and then used an X-acto knife.  I'm going to try foam next, which I understand you can carve into with a sharpened pencil.

				Response: Thank you for the heart
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Oh no!  I thought I got them glued down well.  Maybe my glue was old.  It was some that I found that was almost empty.  Do you want a new one?  So sorry about that.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: It was fun to do.  I'm glad you liked it.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I thought I had never heard of that book, but I looked it up and it is very familiar.  I spent several years in the Children's section of a used bookstore, so I either remember it from there or from my childhood.  
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Something told me you might like it.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked it.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks for the heart.  I know, we get each other all the time!  And I'm okay with that.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm so glad it was a hit!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad to know I'm not alone
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I am, thank you!
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I can't remember which card I sent you.  If it was a woodpecker, then yes.  I have some of my art on postcards.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks, I was worried it was too subtle.  
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks for the heart
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Which stamp did I use?  I like to use a variety, and add postage stamp stickers too.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I was on the fence about the "love you", but I decided that Valentine's warranted it... I'm trying to not overthink my swaps.  I used to do that and they'd take me hours to complete.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Did you get the one with fur?  Because I don't know what that is.  I did a stack of Chinese postcards for this swap.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Yay!  I'm so glad you liked it.  It must've known who wanted it.  I had that one over a year and was waiting for the right person to send it to.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I can't believe I did that!   I'm happy to make a new one.  I'll get a correct one out today.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Yep yep.  Merry Christmas 
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I almost put white winter hymnal by pentatonix as one of my favs... Also not very Christmassy, but I love it 
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: You're welcome.  I'm not sure it was effective as my idea for it, but I enjoed the swap
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Anytime!  Merry Christmas 
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Oh, I so hope you get to make soap.  My brother recently met a young girl who does that in OKC.  She is being homeschooled so she can make soap during the day.  I'm torn about that, but I fully support more making of things.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Sorry for the message!  I overlooked the rating! :) 
			
					 
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Yay!  I just watched a DVD of The Nutcracker.  I love going to see it live, but the 1987 DVD makes me happy.  I especially like the Arabian Dance & Chinese Dance.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Burl Ives (as the snowman) is really the MC of Christmas for me.  In my brain, he's narrating the whole season.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: The previous Pentatonix Christmas album did nothing for me at all, but this year's is fantastic.  I'm in love with White Winter Hymnal, which isn't even a Christmas song.  :)
			
					 
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I love that song too!  I recently learned that Gayla Peevey is from Oklahoma and I was entirely too proud about that.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I hope there are enough to make me happy, but I can only trust myself to make them if lots of people are over to eat them before I do... because, well, midnight will happen.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm so glad you liked it.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked it.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: It always makes me happy when cards I love (and send out) come back to me.  I'm glad you liked it.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I told him.  He just raised an eyebrow, so I'm not sure what will happen.  Keep your fingers crossed!
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm so glad you liked the mushroom art.  My nephew suggested the Mario mushrooms on the back.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I was so fussy about the placement of flowers.  The wavy lines were accidental.  I thought it was pretty amusing.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: That's so nice to hear!  Thank you.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Oh, I'm so happy you liked them.  I really enjoyed making them.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: OH no!  I'm sorry about that.  I usually write the swap down the center of the card.  I hope I'm not getting too comfortable for the details.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked them.  I was afraid I had gone so far out of the box that I had gotten into a different box.  
I thought cutting the burlap into ATC size made the skeletons on it look really bizarre.  I liked that part a lot.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Delicatessen!!!  Yes, check it out.  It's by the director of Amelie.  It is definitely the one to check out from my list.  Beautifully shot.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you like them.  I showed them to my nephew before I sent them.  He was skeptical.  Then again, he's 13.  I believe skeptical is just his normal state of being.
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked her.  
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: That's too bad!  I don't know why they've got to let the mail get so wet.  :(
			
					 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thanks.  That one was hard for some reason... I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I am so jealous of your house.  I wish I had the guts to make such a bold statement.  I'm just moving in, so I'm going to find a way to do something out of the box like that! Thanks for inspiring me.  
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: You're too kind!  I wonder if I'll find something for you... I'll keep my eyes peeled.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: :) I just love Edward S Curtis' photos.  The problem with that postcard book is that I love each one more than the last and want to keep them all.  I had to force myself to use them; I want others to enjoy his work as well.  I have a book for goodness sake.  Hoarding!  The struggle is real....
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I kinda love all 3 of those, but they sure got thick!  Sorry about that... It was the first time I tried attaching to a playing card.  Lots of extra bulk.  I'm hoping to send that character through all 50 states.
			
					 
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: Thank you!  I'm working on my handwriting.  I didn't use it for years, so it's rough.
			
					 
				
				
				
			
			
	
	
			
	
	
				
						
				Response: I'm glad you liked it!
