Comment: I love when dogs look out for cats :-) You must be missing Friend. Such a mischievous bunch on that card - my dogs shred paper, too! Happy day to you, and thanks!
Comment: Thank you for the pretty butterflies card. Great idea using paint straps for it. Thank you for the extras and being part of the swap. Take care
Comment: Thank you for your creative faux tea bags! I love the braided cord and tags too, wish I had thought of that!! The tea and stickers was a nice touch and my grand baby took the birds right away! The papers are lovely.
Comment: Thank you for such a cute tag. I love the movie, The Graduate. I also love all the stickers and papers you sent. Envelope is super cute as well, thank you for a great swap!
Comment: Hello Joy~ Thank you so much for the wonderful bunch of pc's you sent to fulfill this swap. I'm in LOVE with the bird cards you sent . . . I have never seen any like them before. Hope we get to swap together again soon~
Comment: What a delightful card and message. Thank you. My only regret is that I missed Carrot Day and I think carrots are fantastic! Thank you again; it's special to see cursive.
Comment: Hi Joyce, so nice to receive mail from you again. :D I received your postcard today on Monday the 22nd of April. The postmark is an interesting round postmark this time (which probably means it's hand-cancelled instead of being cancelled by a machine). The details say "OKLAHOMA CITY, OK" and "73125-9997" for the outer section of the postmark circle. And then the inside of the circle says "APR-8 2024." I think this might be the first time I have seen a stamp being hand-cancelled for U.S.A mail. :P ~Kiyasu
Comment: Love the long postcard. ALl the book recommendations sound good, esp the ghost series, I will look into that one. The orphan trains sound interesting as I am Polish. Thank you very much!
Comment: Thank you so much for your cute Gnome, he arrived today! So creative and fun, I love the beard :) I did mine with brads so the arms and legs move, but I didn't think of making it out of anything other than cardboard and pencils. Thanks!
Comment: Hi Joyce! Love your pc and how it started for you on collecting pcs! I remember when I was a child, pcs seemed to be at all gas stations and then when I joined SB that was no longer the case! WTH? I now have bunches (much to my families dismay) but when I first joined SB it was a challenge to find them! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: I just love everything you included! Especially the wax seal and stamp, Im currently using the piรฑata stamps and was hoping to get one in the mail!
Comment: Such a cute PC! I love the squirrel! And the beautiful words..warmed my heart. I too live amongst the wild animals. The frogs are in my pond singing also. Deer wander my back property. Armadillos and coons too. Just lovely isnt it? Thank you!
Comment: Thank you Joy for the fantastic PS Postcards and a flat surprise swap. You sent some beautiful postcards and a ton of flat surprises. Amazing. You are so thoughtful and kind. โค๏ธ ๐น๐ฆ๐บ Hugs!!
Comment: LOVE, LOVE. LOVE the flower envelopes and all the sizes. What a great way to use up coloring sheets. I have tons and never know what to do with them. Thank you so much for all the extra touches especially the collage and pretty papers! Hugs!
Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful selection of postcards! I really liked all of them especially the Hummingbirds one and the mailbox one! :) I also really LOVED your handmade envie! Its perfect! :) Take care!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely PC covered with tulips - I used to grow them here but stopped fighting the tramendous rain we get in Houston that makes bulbs rot - alas. Happy Swapping!
Comment: Hi Joy, I received your mail today on Tuesday the 19th of March. The postmark details of your envelope says "OKLAHOMA CITY OK 730" and "7 MAR 2024 PM 5 L." Thank you for sending it and it was interesting to read! ^^ ~Kiyasu
Comment: Thank you so much for my handmade Christmas gift! I am going to place it with others to be opened in December. I love handmade items. Happy Swapping!
Comment: Iโm so glad you sent this as an โuglyโ PC as I LOVE transport. I picked my last apartment because I could see trains, road, light railway, the tube AND commuter boats from it!
Also thanks for the cat news. Beware the cat mafia though! Weโve fallen foul of the same (very cute) problem of more and more turning up ๐
Comment: Hi Joyce! Love the vintage poppy pc! I am not sure I have seen yellow poppies, they look beautiful! Are the seeds you have from a family member? That is awesome to have poppy seeds from plants that started over 40 years ago! I see red ones around us but have never tried to grow them. I am more of a sunflower and zinnia grower, easy and no green thumb needed! LOL! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: You definitely deserve a heart! I loved all the aspects of what you sent - the envelope, the stamps, the letter and the postcards! All perfect!
Comment: These postcards are definitely keepers! Thank-you so much for sharing. As an aside, your scratch and sniff sticker on the envelope brought me right back to grade 7 sticker collections๐
Comment: Thank you for the lovely card!! And extrasas well. I love โค๏ธ your handwriting, it's beautiful cursive. Have a good Valentine day! I'm a senior as well and I hope we swap again.

Comment: Hi Joyce! Love the pc and I guess I never thought about pools back in the day not requiring a fence around them! Times have sure changed! Did the ice go away? We had sunshine today and mild temps, I was so excited!! LOL! It is the little things! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: This was a good collection of fabrics and trims. I will have to find some special ways to use them. Thanks so much. The buttons are unique too. I love that you cut things off of clothing. Thanks!

My dog has been spoiled for Christmas too ! But mostly food or balls so thankfully most of it is already eaten or lost ahah
Best wishes for the new year !

Comment: In the Netherlands it's a rainy winter instead of a snowy one. Water level is so high our small bach is completely under water! Happily our houses are still dry, no threat :-) Still... it's nice to see your drawn snowman. He looks happy, so he makes me smile :-)
I'm your partner too. But I think my postcard is at the airport, waiting in line to enter the airplane to America :-)
Comment: Thank you so much for the vintage wisteria blossoms postcard! I couldn't read your whole note to me because the post office stamped over it! Happy New Year!

Comment: Please forgive the late posting. Thank you for the great black and white photo postcard. It is very cool and I love stuff like that. Happy New Year!
Comment: Thank you. A postcard of Goblin Valley State Park would have been fine. Though I've been close a few times, I've never been there. The mountains of San Bernadino are nice too. Much more snow.
Comment: Joy, what a beautiful card, thank you! I, too, love Christmas lights. I, hoping to go out tomorrow night and look at lights around us! Be well and merry Christmas!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card and extras!! I loved the shaker stickers! And itโs very rare that we get snow here in SC that actually sticks and that makes me so sad! My 11 yr old has only seen snow once and she wasnโt even walking yet haha. My cats are inside only but they would definitely freak out if they saw it snowing white stuff outside haha. Merry Christmas and take care!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely note in your card. The goodies are cute also. Yes, my frogs sing year round. It is so fun to listen to them in Mid Feb when the ground is covered with the snow! Happy swapping and Happy Holidays

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful white cat card. My last cat's name was Lorne, and he looked a lot like the kitty on this postcard, except he had a black "toupee," hip, and tail. I miss that spoiled little guy!
Comment: Thank you for sharing about your wonderful animals, Joy! I loved hearing a little about your land and animals and life and am wishing you much happiness always.
Comment: what a great card. Thank you Joyce. I wonder what you used as a cover to make sure it arrived in one piece? A local cat likes to snooze on my doormat.

Diane

Comment: Ok at first I'm like this is an oddly shaped package... But after taking the tape off...I don't think I can repeat what I actually said in response to opening it. (Sailor talk). . But the fact that the package was the actual bag.... SUPER freaking cute! Loved it!! I love the goodies! Thank u!

I have a snowflake-themed tree and it will be a perfect addition!
I hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas. Thanks again!! ๐๐ฌ

Have a great day
