Comment: Always nice to get mail from you. I hope to visit the postal museum this summer. Be well

Comment: What an incredible swap!! The envie covered in stamps set the scene for a selection of beautiful photos, and a great letter. Thank you so much! My DH and I took our 3 daughters to Canada every summer for a while, by way of KC to Duluth (home of Bob Dylan) and the next day on north thru Virginia to Orr. There, we took a bitty road on north to Crane Lake. The fishing camp where we were headed sent a (water) plane to pick us up and fly us into Campbells Cabins fishing camp on Lac la Croix! No tv, no internet but yes a motor boat and a week to have adventures together. Good memories of Minnesota and the Boundary Waters. Thanks again!!

Comment: Hi Lou! Thank you for the create a pc from the Illinois State Bird card that I sent to you back in 2020! LOL! I love that you doctored it up with the facts about the cardinal being the state bird for seven states! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you so much for your awesome handmade card! I love it and you are so very kind to include all the goodies, stickers, and stamps! I will check the postal website out right now. And I loved how you used all the vintage stamps on your envie, you are so sweet! Happy Valentine's Day!💕

Comment: Thanks for the handmade card! I loved it:) Even though I'm not big fan of red, but I can't say no to red when it comes to Valentines day! Also thanks for the stickers. Happy Valentines Day<3

Comment: What a lovely envie, thank you for the time, effort, and patience in arranging and pasting all the postage stamps. I had fun looking at the interesting and pretty washis too.

Comment: Lou you spoiled me! I love everything about this, from the LOVELY assortment of stamps you used to everything inside. Thank you for the older postage, I am going to have to find where to get some because seeing all the stamps on the envelope was so much fun! Thank you for your sweet note - what a great idea to use photos from the fair. The Texas State Fair is fun, and this year I will have to check out the Colorado Fair - its only about 45 minutes away so much easier to do than the Texas one was. I will report back. And thank you so so much for the variety of cards you sent!

Comment: Love the card you made <3 Such a pretty vintage Valentine!! As for the USPS.. UGH... Similar to your experience, I also didnt get a reply. Perhaps the timing was simply not right due to the inauguration and all of the new people coming into office etc.. I wont give up though, i believe if we all reach out, it will make a huge statement so I keep encouraging people to do just that!

Comment: Thanks

Comment: Thank you for the lovely note and items. Canada did have 2 ball teams. Once, we had the Montreal Expos, who later became the Washington Nationals. :)

Comment: Thank you for the great variety of stickers and the postage. I appreciate that you had them hand-canceled and thanks for the website suggestion.

Comment: Thank you so much for my planner stickers too!! It was a lovely envelope of goodies :)

Comment: Lou!! I love all the stamps on the envelope. And where did you get the MR Zip ones? I have NEVER been able to find anything Mr Zip to buy. Thank you also for the letter. I hope the package made it to your friend in the UK. DeJoy really is making our mail as difficult as possible - I've never had to be so specific on customs forms. I hope this year is full of some great mail and hopefully I'll see ya in some more swaps too. Edited to add: Also, thank you so much for the old stamps! That is so generous of you to share!

Comment: LOVED all the stamps and the note about the photographs. Just lovely and thoughtful all around!

Comment: Thank you for the photos, they made me smile! She looks a lot like Egypt, one of my sweet cats.

Comment: Hi Lou! Always great to be partners with you! Thank you for the great photos - I never get to see squirrels in an upright position, as MGM chases them every chance she gets! LOL! I also love seeing wild turkey! All the best! Hugs, Happy Swapping, and Snapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you so much for the great swap! I love the stamps you sent and the paper you wrote on was perfect! There is not an interesting story behind my username. I just put together random words that I thought sounded good together in hopes it wasn't taken already. LOL Also, I do enjoy movies but I am not up to date on what is new. Maybe I should look into the AMC subscription. I love the Mr. Zip postage. I don't have any so that's exciting. Thanks for hosting so many great swaps!

Comment: Thank you for the fun envelope and all the great stamps. I love that you shared all the background information about the stamps, too.

Comment: Wow, this was truly a happy mail made for me! I love admiring all the postage stamps you've used, and have included for me :D Thank you for hosting this swap!

Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely swap. I loved to read about your kitty <3 The three kitten on your card look so cute. I also had once a red-gold tabby and a grey tabby cat. The red also was named Leo. The vintage stamps you used on the envelope are gorgeous. I LOVE them and will be in a good use for future creative projects <3
