Comment: I was contacted that the first time the friendship bracelet was sent through the mail that it ended up being returned sender possibly for postage or packing. I have yet to receive anything since that contact and have tried to contact through swap bot but I have heard nothing back. Will rate higher if I receive something in the future.

Comment: Melissa, Thank you for joining this swap. I am so glad you enjoyed it! I love the pastels you used... so pretty and summery! Thank you so much!

 

Comment: I love it - everything's so bright and cheerful.

Comment: OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!! I don't even know what to say - this package is AMAZING!!!!! :D :D :D Thank you so much!! I couldn't figure out what the noise was until I opened it and found the Nerds! ;D lol Thank you so much, girly!! ♥ The pencil case is my favorite! ♥♥♥♥

Comment: Very pretty paper

Comment: Thanks for the fun envies. There was no swap name in your notecard but I figured it out...🤓

Comment: Beautiful banner. Wonderfully packaged. Thanks for the profile related extras. A treat to receive.

Comment: Thanks! I love the ATC - I hope it brings on the spring weather too :)

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful ICAD and for remembering about the postcard (I completely forgot until I read your message)!

Comment: Thank you so much

Comment: Oh my what a surprise in the middle of this snowstorm. Thanks so much for everything- it's like you were inside my mind! I've never received such a beautiful package in the mail, I'm really touched with all your thought and care.

Comment: Thank you so much for the variety of stationery! Thank you sooooo much! You are very creative! Thank you!

Comment: Wow! Thanks for all the fun stationery pages! :)

 

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: Hey, thank you! And I loved the extra backgrounds and the papyrus card!

Comment: She’s even pretty in person and the colors are gorgeous. I really struggle with water color. I have a hard time using them without the colors getting muddled. I just bought JD’s water color crayons and haven’t tried them yet. I’m hoping they will help me get the water color vibe without losing the vividness. Anyway! Thank you for this ATC, I hope we get matched in another swap soon!

Comment: This is gorgeous! Definitely a favorite! And I am looking forward to getting the “alien” JD girl as well. LOL! I mean it! She’s beautiful too! ❤️

Comment: OMG!! Thanks so much for the flipbook and goodies.. It was amazing. It also gave me ideas of another creative way to make one. Most times I use envelopes. I hope you will have a great Valentine's Day!

Comment: Wow. Just WOW!!! What an amazing artist you are. So excited to be able to have your art in my collection. Thank you so much!! ❤️

 

Comment: Your zine was AWESOME! Also,the stationery you wrote your letter on was rad. My favorite page was the chapstick one. 😂😂 One of my favorite zines yet!

Comment: Thanks for including the Spotify playlist. Always great to find some new to me music.

Comment: Thanks so much for my fun transparent post card. We had the same idea using extras and sequins trapped inside. What fun. So glad I took the plunge. Lynn

Comment: Thank you for the sweet valentine with so many beautiful layers. Happy Hearts Day!

Comment: Melissa, this is one of the prettiest swaps I've received in my 9+ years here on swap-bot. I'm so impressed! I love everything about it and so appreciate the creativity, time, and effort you put into this swap. You know how sometimes one little element will just squeeze your heart? In this lovely creation, it's that adorable raccoon! I fed a family of raccoons two years ago 'til they were 'grown-ups' and raccoons hold a special place in my heart. Your embellishments, paper choices, just EVERYTHING spells P E R F E C T I O N. Thank you, also, for all the lovely items you added--especially that gorgeous Heidi Swapp stencil. Thank you so much for creating something so beautiful for me; it's a real treasure!

Comment: Holy Moly, what a great swap! I love every single thing you sent to me!

Comment: haha! the struggle :P happy to be a SB addict!

Comment: Thanks for the washi! What did you have in mind for a private swap? I haven't been crafting much lately.

Comment: Beautiful job for your first handmade card! Thank you very pretty and sweet sentiment written inside! God Bless

Comment: Holy amazeballs Melissa! I don't even know where to begin with this swap, everything about it was so stunning! From the moment I saw the beautiful decorated envelope in my mailbox I have not stopped smiling! I started with your lovely long letter telling me about your creative process and all the gloriousness that awaited me in the beautifully wrapped gift with handmade gift topper :-D I am not a fan of extras because usually they're just random bits of destash but you sent some treasures, the metallic elements are perfect for my creations and the wooden butterfly - oooh I will have a hard time parting with that so I think I will just have (i.e. hoard) it for a little bit *squeeeee*. Then the tag...where to start. I mean these are the types of tags I see on display during like creativation or craft shows where expert artists have spent loads of time and energy to create a masterpiece. I seriously don't think I've ever received anything like this before. The background alone had to have taken quite some time with all of the layers of modeling paste through the different stencils and ink and different colored splatters and stamping, just wow! Then the added elements are all inked and embossed and splattered and painted and inked and stamped. I just can't stop looking at it and admiring it, I am just so blown away by the beauty and will treasure this always! Thank you so much for all your creative work to make this for me. It was such a thoughtful swap I wish I could give a bazillion gazillion hearts, you really went waaaay above and beyond on this!

Comment: Oh my gosh - the mermaids are amazing! Thank you for all the samples. You dun good, girl!

Comment: Wow! Thanks for the thoughtful and generous swap! Love the collage papers, something I will surely use but probably would not have have purchased for myself. Fun PC to add to. = )

Comment: Absolutely loved it!!!!!

Comment: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful ATC! Love it and the stamps and the extras... THANK YOU!!!

Comment: If I could give you 100 hearts I would! Beautiful, way above and beyond. Thank you!! <3 <3

Comment: thank you for the cute Pocket Letter and happy hollidays!

Comment: Wow! Lucky me to get two wonderful packages from you this month! Thank you!

Comment: Absolutely delightful package! I will have SUCH a cozy Christmas eve!!

Comment: Ty for the mini PL. Love it and the goodies ( that paper clip😍 ). And definitely not just you I have tons to still do as well!

Comment: Thanks for a bright and cheery ATC. And the extras. Happy holidays.

Comment: Lovely ATC! Thank you so much for the extras as well. <3

Comment: Thanks for all the little extras and the beautiful ATC! I can't wait to add it to my collection :)

Comment: Thank you so much for the pocket letter, I am intrigued to say the least! I just took one of my audible credits and downloaded book 1 right in the post office parking lot lol!! I will let you know how I like it!

Comment: I love the wand and added it into my decorated branches as part of my decor- thank you too for the seasonal letter and happy thoughts > Happy Halloween!!!

Comment: Yay! I get to send this one back just in time! Thank you!

Comment: Wow, this was a lot of fun to open. Each pocket was really a piece of art and I absolutely loved your letter. It seems like we have a lot in common! Will definitely be writing you back and hope we can do some swaps/penpalling :)

Comment: Wow! I am so lucky that you were my partner. You did an amazing job. It's so detailed, well executed, and freaking cute! And I love that it's a tag flip. It's amazing. I keep flipping through it. Thank you so much, you lovely lady! Have a Happy Halloween!

Comment: Thank you. Everything is so pretty and festive, just in time for Halloween. You did a really lovely job. Thank you again. Update: I probably would have noticed that tonite when I get home from work because it is sitting on my desk. But thanks for letting me know. Now I'm going to do the under the desk trick to watch it glow! lol

Comment: Been enjoying your Spotify playlist-- thanks!

Comment: Thanks for the playlist! I too love Men at Work!

Comment: Thank you!!! I have some new music to check out!!!

Comment: Thank you for the playlist.

Comment: Thank you Melissa for a super cute Halloween AT C and I love the rosette you made for me too! Happy Halloween!

Comment: melissa thank you for the very nice fall notebook, wow you got a lot of paper in it! and it smelled so good! Lavender?

Comment: Thank you for the Halloween Mini pocket letter caramel apples are a favorite of mine too! Enjoy the season

Comment: Loved the ATC and it wasn't flat flat... 🤗. I love dimension too but also keep things flattish because of postage costs. Lady in PO now pokes my letters and every time as if it's just paper. Always say it's a card but tell her it's layered. 😋. So far she hasn't put it through their measuring guage and I've not had any issues so long may it continue. Thank you for the extras also.

Comment: Amazing! Thank you!

Comment: Hi Melissa. Thank you for the really neat Art ATC. It is so cool with with the art theft button and all of the textures! You really packaged it up well, there was no way it was going to get messed up!! 😊The little wooden monsters are cute and I will try to find a way to use them. Thanks again and I hope we get to swap again...

Comment: Well done! You clearly put a lot of thought into this, and I appreciate that you gave a basic synopsis to the story first, and posted your soundtrack as a straightforward list, *then* repeated it with more info that included spoilers. You used bands that I usually enjoy when I hear them, but don't seek out - this was a nice prompt to revisit them.

Comment: Melissa - very nice Pocket Letter - it will fit my collection nicely! Thank you!

Comment: Melissa, thank you so much for the beautiful Autumn Envie and the sweet Fall extras...love it! The colors on the envelope are gorgeous! I enjoyed reading your letter(loved the brightly colored paper) and had to chuckle about how hard it was to get into the Fall mood because of the temperature! I am from San Diego so I can totally relate. Great swap!

Comment: Love it. There was no note hope your fall. Is fun

Comment: Oh my god!! Mel, I love your target goodies! Thank you so much! I specially really loved the rainbow coin purse and the star glitters, the face mask and the halloween gift bags. Everything is super cute!!! Thank you! Hugs from Finland! 🤗😍😄😊👍

Comment: Melissa, thank you for this beautiful swap. Your style is super cool and I shall use everything! It’s perfect.

 

Comment: Thank you so much! This reading was pretty spot on for some stuff going on lately. Also, sorry for the late rate, I've been on vacation the last couple weeks and busier than I'd thought.

Comment: Thanks! It was a fun technique! I like the paper you used!

Comment: Thank you for the cute washi!💜

Comment: Thank you for the great backgrounds. I love the colors and patterns you used.

Comment: This is such a wonderful PC, one of the best yet. I will add to it, and send it home.

Comment: Awesome job! Love the colors you used. What color is the metallic paint you used, love that color. Thanks

Comment: Thank you so much! This is gorgeous, I love the way you made it - you are so talented!! :)

Comment: wonderful backgrounds! thank you!

 

Comment: awww---what a sweet little fairy---love her wings! She has a new home in my Halloween tree! Thank you for sending a great swap:)

Comment: Wow! I love how much thought you put into this. It's making me wish I'd done a bit more with mine. 25 tracks--amazing! And all of your notes. It sounds like a really interesting book. I tried to scan them without getting spoilers. Lots of great songs here too. I really enjoyed it. :D

Comment: Thank you for awesome flipbook! I really enjoy it and all the goodies are great:) Love the little mummy stamp!!! Thanks

 

Comment: Thank you for the playlist! Me and my pals are planning a trip to Vegas next month and I plan to use some of your songs in my playlist! (: Thanks again ~

Comment: Really enjoying your playlist on Spotify-- even when I'm not paying attention to the percussion. Fave new discovery: Rafal Sarnecki. Also: Baba O'Riley is always a pleasure!

Comment: Thanks for the list...will be finishing going through all the songs this weekend...hoping to find some I like =)

Comment: Wow, that was so great! It really made me want to read the book (which to be honest was already in my TBR) Edit: If you see something strange in your activity, it was me, I somehow deleted this by error!

Comment: Thanks for sharing your playlist. I love Sofi Tukker 💜

Comment: Love your pocket letter, Melissa and all of the notes about what you love about Fall! Most of them I love, too!! Those deer die cuts sweet! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing skills with me! Happy, happy Fall!

Comment: Great atc! Thanks so much.

Comment: Thank you so much for the cool prompts! I haven't decided yet, which one I'll try, but I'll let you know about the end result :)

Comment: LOVE this world card and LOVE what you added! I like heat embossing. Thanks for the sticky notes, I needed some! = )

Comment: Thank you. I appreciate your efforts put together for me. Love it :)

Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely parcel! The sequins in the note card envelope cracked me up ( I don't know why!). Such a beautiful and creative way to send a happy mail.

Comment: I mean to say! Whoa! I mean, just whoa! First, award for chunkiest ATC I've ever gotten. I keep looking at this, to notice all the materials and elements used. The white meshy stuff, the textured stuff on the very background, the metal or metal-looking, the bling, the glitter. And the elegance. You know, my grey one was my favorite that I made (I joined all 5 that were put up at once), and I like that - the elegance of it. Thank you so much for such a beautiful ATC! And then - the beautiful little tiny sequins! I can't wait to use them. And this noteard is simply gorgeous. Pleasing colors and matching envelope - I couldn't find a logo - is it possible you made these by hand? Either way, lovely, down to the adorable book sticker that I carefully did not break while opening. Thanks so much!

Comment: Thanks for the great assortment of images. Can’t wait to use them. 😀

Comment: Thank you for the amazing swap!

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely images! I loved them all but my favourite have to be the little cartoon people in costumes - so cute!!!

Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing variety of ephemera! I very much appreciate that you checked out my profile page and trying so hard to accommodate my ridiculous whims. The packing and envelope are just plain lovely. In short, thanks for a terrific swap!

Comment: Your envelope and its contents were delightful. I liked that there was an envelope inside the envelope. I especially like the mixed media on the outer envelope. Thank you!

Comment: HOLY CRAP. You are the best. I think you know what I'm about. The "occult-loving turkey throwing up" line made me howl, and you definitely succeeded. It was such an amazing thing to receive and I thank you profusely for your kindness and thought. I received this yesterday and it took me a minute to think of what to write back, and to read your profile ... You're SO COOL. We have similar music tastes too ... I just don't know what to say, I know hearts mean no currency in the real world but I'd give you more if I could! Can we like, be friends? Oh em gee. I appreciate this tenfold. And now I'm going to throw all these cute little sequiny things all over my mattress and cuddle my cat in them. Sorry, a lotta coffee this morning. Have a wonderful day! PS Seriously, I'd love to like, swap a playlist of fave music or something sometime if you're interested. :D :D

Comment: Thanks for sharing! Will definitely have to check out your Spotify playlist!
