Response: You got the package ... good. I'm smiling now. I'm so glad you got and that you like. There are a few things that I had pulled together to send and just couldn't fit them in the box. And you are so very welcome. You're good people and I'm glad to have swapped with you. Take care. Demarys

Response: I like dealing with good people. Your sincerity said to me that you are good people. I guess people need to look a little deeper and consider just what being in other shoes than their own might be like. I sure it would afford for more understanding, consideration, empathy and maybe even a little sympathy. You can't be hurt - not really - by showing those things, but someone else may be helped. It's like one line in Lee Ann Womack's song ... loving may be a mistake, but it's a mistake worth taking. Same thing goes for caring. Ok. I'm off the soap box. Just remember that I will swap with you any time, even privately. Take care and remember ... Demarys

Response: I'm more than just happy that you "love" what I sent you. And also glad that you are going to find ways to make use of them. This is why I joined. I get the double dose of smiles, knowing that I've made other smile too. Take care, Demarys

Response: Really glad you like what I sent. I had much fun putting it together for you. Take care. Demarys

Response: I had hoped you would like what I sent. I just love giving "gifts." And, when the receiver likes the gift, it makes it all the more fun (for me!). Wieird, huh. Oh, well ... somebody's got to be. Teeheehee Demarys

Response: I'm so glad you liked everything. I try ... besides, I think that's what swapping is all about -- making someone feel special and appreciated by sharing some of your "good stuff" with them. And truth be told, I'm a hoarder - yeah, I admitted it, teeheehee - but I know nice it feels to feel special - even in the simplest ways by some of the smallest things - and I try to give that feeling to people I deal with - in whatever way i deal with them. So, I can mark this swap as successful because "I did what I came to do." Hahahahaha. Enjoy and take care. Demarys

Response: Y-e-a-h!!! I'm so glad you liked your package. I tried to make it something you would appreciate and could make at least some use of. It's funny, but I think I get as much good feeling from all this as the ones who actually get the packages. I love giving. I love seeing the smiles on faces as they open their gifts. And even though I can't see any of the faces of my swap partners, as I prepare the package I gather the kinds of things that bring a smile to my face and imagine the smiles I hope they will have. And ... when I get comments like yours, it lets me know that I was able to share not just "stuff" but a good "inside" feeling and give someone a smile. I'm smiling now - hope you are too. Enjoy and take care. Demarys

Response: I don't actually get on here (or any other web-based thingy) that regularly - as I'm sure you can see from the date of this response. However, I want to thank you for the heart. It says to me that you liked what I sent. I hope you can make at least some of it work for you in your projects. Thanks again. Enjoy and take care. Demarys

Response: Yooo-Hooo. Another convert. I've become so addicted to making those little albums. While I love making them, have made quite a few, and actually am rather good at putting them together, I must admit that I still feel very much the novice, because I feel amiss when it comes to decorating them. But, I'm going to keep on trying ... Thanks for the heart. Demarys

Response: Thank you. I wanted so much to make it special. And, useful. ps: There's are r-e-a-l-l-y funny - at least now it's funny - story behind that little keychain. If you'd like, I'll share. Demarys ps: Thanks for the heart.

Response: You are so very welcome. Thanks for the heart. Demarys

Response: You are quite welcome. I just starting cutting and before I knew it, there was this pile. It just didn't seem right to take the extras back. Thanks for the heart. Demarys

Response: Hi Gabrielle. Here I was thinking no one's going to know what I'm talking about ... mud pies ... Isn't niece not being alone? Thanks for connecting. Take care. Demarys
