Comment: Okay, first off, let me say that the ATC is absolutely gorgeous! I can't stop staring at it! And all the extras?! I have to fight off my roommates to make sure they don't steal them all! LOL Thank you SOOOOOO much!

 

Comment: Oh my goodness, thank you for the Marie tin, it is extraordinary. Your work is amazing and I will enjoy it for years to come. It is displayed in my studio. Thank you also for the tidbits and pieces. I love adding to my stash. Have a great holiday and my best to you in 2022.

Comment: Today I received your wonderful envelope filled with everything I love - thank you, so much! You clearly make the effort when sending post and I really appreciate things like that ❤️ Your kindness has made my day!

Comment: ❤️❤️❤️❤️Oh my! This is the best swap I have ever received. Thank you Carly, if I could give you lots more hearts boy would you be getting them. I just love my reindeer, I can’t believe you were going to throw it out…. It’s my favourite colour and boy does it sparkle. I’m going to turn it into a Christmas decoration and have it on display. Now I get to the extras. You are the most generous person. Im just blown away. You are a Super Star 💐💐💐

Comment: Wow, I can tell you put time and effort into this swap. I appreciate the results and the nice note explaining it all. I didn't see "a purification spell or ritual to cleanse the objects" but I can research and find some. I'm glad you enjoyed the creative process. I can take photos but I don't know how to add them to swap-bot messenger. The extras were a nice surprise. Take care!

Comment: Thank you so much for all the fun extras along with the book! I have not heard of camphor stones..i love the look of them! I love vintage! I will definitely find uses for all of it! Thank you so much!

Comment: 💓💓💓I wish I could give more hearts!!! Your amazing package arrived today! You created such a beautiful ornament! I love it so much! It did arrive in one piece! Thank you for the generous extras as well! I will put them to good use! 💓💓💓

Comment: Carly this was a wonderful swap. Things I can use and like. Love the ribbon and charms. How special♥♥♥ Wish I could give you more that one red heart!!!

Comment: Got the deco package today, thank you so much! You're so sweet. The other mail you mentioned hasn't arrived, I'll let you know when it does. This is such a fun deco, I will enjoy it. And the pin and Game of Thrones piece are very fun too, thank you. :D

Comment: Oh my! What fun this is going to be. I especially love the ring. :)

Comment: Thank you so much Carly for the beautiful Halloween stitched slot ephemera pack. I absolutely adored all the Halloween papers you used to make those cute little envelopes. The Dresden butterflies, the old ephemera pieces and the antique buttons! Be still my heart. :) It was such a treat to open your envelope. I look forward to putting this in my latest Halloween junk journal, it will be a perfect addition, thank you!

Comment: The flower is gorgeous! I do love sunflowers as they are abundant in North Dakota-such happy flowers! Sorry about the squirrels-if I've learned anything thing about squirrels is they do things on their own terms! Our live ones in out yard have been taking to pulling tomatoes off our plants and then having the nerve to eat them on the ledge of out front steps-leaving a mess! Thanks also for the other goodies you sent along-great swap-thanks for sharing! Take care and stay safe!

Comment: Thanks for the cool postcard and your interesting answers! I agree this has been such a fun swap!! Thank you for the friend request too!

Comment: Carly, thank you for your intriguing book review and analysis! ❤️

Comment: Carly, I overwhelmed at the beautiful and SO unique ATC you created for me. Glass, gorgeous! This is a piece I will forever treasure, along with all the beautiful beads and vintage paper cutouts. I am so lucky to have been on the receiving end of this swap! Your work is amazing.

Comment: Holy cats! this is an amazing swap! the deco is wonderful too. i have never seen one quite like this. I will create a delightfully inappropriate ATC for it.

Comment: I LOVE the inchies you sent me! You are so talented with your art. I love all of the extras you included too. <3 <3 If I could, I'd give you more than 1 heart. :)

Comment: Carmen, I want to give a huge thank-you for the really beautiful swap that you sent to me. The pocket and spell are gorgeous as are the papers and extras that you included. I was so surprised to find the nice, fat package in my mailbox when I was only expecting an envelope. ❤️

Comment: The envelope arrived and Wow! Thank you for the amazing PCs! I love them so much! I'm a gal for vintage. And all the lovely extras you included were so kind and unexpected! I wish I could give you more than 1 heart.

Comment: I LOVE LOVE the 🦋 butterfly cascading pockets you made! So professional!! Your idea for the journaling cards is super clever! I'm stealing it for another project! Thank you for all the goodies - I loved the PC's - especially the vintage German one to Honolulu! I'm super grateful for the German butterflies from the 1900's - how did you come across them? I love the sakura washi tape. Everything was a dream from you! And your letter was too funny as we share a love of the same word 🤣 There was an ATC swap for F💣 and it was pretty hilarious! Thank you so much for the Happiest of Mail today!! xxMuggleMom

Comment: Dear Carly: I would give you 5 hearts if I could!! I meant to do this rating when I messaged you; I'll blame it on my brain fog! Thank you for the lovely beach coin! It is so fun to hold, touch, and admire! So much beautiful texture to take in. I love it! And I must say the extra art supplies you sent along with it are crazy -- so much stuff! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the art and your friendship!

Comment: Carly this ATC coin is just incredible! You have the most amazing ability to put your own special interpretation on any theme and make it so special. The sand - how did you do that??? It's awesome! The sand dollar (looks real) and the little shell with the pearl are such great touches. Love the bathing beauty and the "fish net" behind her as well as the beads all around the edges. It's just a wondrous little work of art! And thank you so much for the goodies - I love those vintage tacks and have found fun uses for a couple that you sent me awhile ago, so I am tickled to receive more of them. Thanks also for the Washi tape and the little tiny owl - so cute!! What a wonderful swap partner you are - thanks so much!

Comment: This made my day! So grateful for all of the things you included

Comment: Carmen: you have absolutely outdone yourself with this one! OMG! Carmen this is just unbelievable - Did you paint that little glass window? And there is a door behind it that opens up! How ever do you come up with these marvelous creations?? This is just stunning - I love this paper - Graphic 45? - and the images that you used, including the feather! The brass lantern hanging off the front, that gold dragon on the back on that carved wooden "door". Just wow! Anytime I see something in my mailbox from you, I know it's going to be the happiest mail day! Thank you so much for the beautiful creation. And thank you for the wonderful extras as well - love them all but especially the vintage images which must be saved and hoarded for something extremely special!

This is truly just a little spooky work of art. I would love to watch you at work - I bet it's fascinating! Thank you for yet another fab swap. And thank you for the extra vintage pins - I have been holding onto the couple you sent me earlier because I wanted to save them for something special, so now I feel like I can use them! Thanks for this super fun package in my mailbox today! Hugs!

Comment: Oh Carmen! You have outdone yourself again! This flip tag is aaa-mazing! I am blown away by your creativity and talent. The die cut face with the skull earrings on the back tag - wow! It looks like a Frankenstein die cut that you have turned into something awesome - I keep seeing more details the more I look at it. I love the black sparkly haunted house that comes next. Then the glittery purple frame with the glittery pumpkin and that beautiful background you made. And finally the top layer - love the little shaker box you created with the candy corn and glitter. Another great background and sparkly spider and skeleton cameo. Really this is just so well done. I can't thank you enough for this!!

Comment: OH MY GOD CARMEN! Is it possible to give you 1000 hearts?! this swap is like 3 swaps... EXTREMELY kind and considerate. you absolutely nailed it!

I don't know how to thank you, I've got chills from your good heart 😍

Comment: Carmen, this Paper Moon ATC is just amazing! Everything you create is so unique and so beautifully put together, and this is no exception. I love the background you created and the little white tales on the stars. The central image of the moon and the lovely lady in black really stands out against your blue and violet background - she even has a feather in her hair! Fabulous and so creative. Thanks for the lovely gold trims as well - I shall find a special use for them!!

Comment: Thank you so much, Carly, for the amazing postcard. I love all the elements you used and the way you collaged them! The office clip is genius! And also, reminded me that I did not include an office supply on the one I made. Whoops! I need to follow instructions better! Your postcard will be looked at fondly in my little art corner of the house! Thank so much!

Comment: Oh Carmen! When I saw this box with your return address I knew I was in for a treat. This mermaid ATC is just wonderful!

Thank you so much for this wonderful addition to my collection! And thank you so much for the little extra goodies. With summer coming I know I will find a good place to use these. Stay well and thanks for your participation and for the amazing ATC!

Comment: Oh Carmen! This Texas road trip coin is amazing! All the way from the bedazzling deer head holding it to the little special Dallas objects that you have attached to it. However did you think of this? It's just so special. I have been to the Alamo twice so you could say that this Texas road trip coin us just another little reminder of those visits. Thanks also for the bag of goodies - I especially love all the charms. So glad you are swapping with us! Hugs!

Comment: Carmen, if I could give you 10 hearts for this altered Bingo card, I would. It is just amazing! I saw the photos you posted online and thought it was really well done but the pictures don't do it justice! So many amazing details - the dimensional elements, the tree with the red flowers, the grass with the pink and white flowers, the Alice characters - it really is just incredible! I knew I had something special when it arrived in a box rather than an envelope! Thank you so much for this wonderful Bingo card. I'm so glad you are swapping with us here at our new home on SwapBot!!

Comment: Fabulous Bingo card Carmen! I love all the detail. The tiny flowers in the grass, the lovely tree hiding the Cheshire Cat, and the cleverly executed "rabbit hole"! Beautiful work, now gracing a little shelf near my craft room desk, thank you!

Comment: All I can say is WOW! Oh wow! 3D! Delightful. I feel as if I am at the circus and I can nearly hear the accompanying must. This is stupendous and over the top creative. Thank you very much Carly. The extras were great too. Just WOW!
