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

Comment: Thank you, Lou, for this swap I received last July! As you know I've been away from SB almost a year and a half and therefore am very late in getting this rating to you. I actually JUST opened your envie. Can you believe I let it sit unopened for so long? I'm sure it's because I didn't want to open it until I was ready/able to rate immediately too. Anyway I loved the two little notecards in PINK and the two extra cards. And yes I did LOVE that bright pink notecard on which you wrote your note! 😍 Also thank you for the lovely variety of postage stamps you put on the envelope! I always love to see that. ❤️...

Comment: Hello Lou! What an awesome assortment of notecards! If I could rate more stars I definitely would. I love the hand cancelled stamps. I get tired of the ugly black mark the post office likes to put on vintage stamps. These are beautiful and perfect. Thank you for making my day!

Comment: I can not begin to express my gratitude and delight! What a fabulously eclectic package. So many wonderful and fun things in the mix, and I love it all. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for a truly awesome swap.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter (I enjoyed reading what you wrote), notecards, and sticker sheet. I do appreciate the many pretty stamps as well. It’s, mercifully, cooler in Singapore these days but the air is still sticky and humid. 😳

Comment: Thank you! I so enjoy reading your letter. I did see the new Beetlejuice movie with my friends and we all enjoyed it. I also enjoy libraries though I tend to check out e-books nowadays which means I don't go to the actual library as much anymore. :( Thanks for the adorable cat notecard, vintage postage stamps and cat stickers. So much fun opening this! Happy swapping!

Comment: Hey guess what finally showed up!! Thank you so much for the photos and the stickers too - can’t believe it took 3 weeks to get to me from the state next door!!

Comment: Thank you for the two photos and extras! I always love photos from out the airplane window.

Comment: Thank you Lou. I'l try to come back with further comments. 🤗 I'm back to add to this swap. Oh my goodness, all of the unused old(er) green stamps. Love them!! I love how you matted lall of the 1 cent Bobcat stamps on yellow cardstock! Plus the very cute black cat yellow note paper. You went all out with the yellow everywhere and all of your creative art work (handmade little yellow hearts 💛 on tan hearts on the back of the envelope). There's even more! I'll have to send another message to thank you for it all. Everything is in pristine condition. A perfect swap. 💛

Comment: Thanks for the great pictures! I love waterfalls. There are over 200 in North Carolina. I've seen 8 of them!

Comment: Thank you for your lovely letter - I will be replying shortly! :D

Comment: Whoops, I just caught that I got my swaps mixed up on rating this one between the Mr. Zip and the Wiym one!! This was such a fun swap! I loved seeing so many stamps used on the outside of the envelopes!!! 🥰💕 As always Lou, opening an envelope from you makes brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart 💜 Thank-you for the goodies on the inside, (more stamps!!! And soooo many amazing ones!! The snowflake ❄️ Winter Olympics one is awesome, and the wildlife conservation sheets; oh my, I absolutely love love love!! And this cute vintage kitty cutout 😻 I actually have a small sticker with that same image! I also didn’t watch too much of the Olympics, other than a couple of Olympic highlights video montages. As always, thank-you for hosting such amazing swaps and for sending joy through the mail my way 💕 I’m super happy to be able to be back swapping and sorting through stamps again 🥰

Comment: Hi Lou! Always great fun to have you as my partner and as usual your photos are wonderful! The purple of the lilacs, the orange on orange with the butterfly and flower, than the green - just lovely! We are seeing a little of the fall colors and I just love the yellows, organges, and reds! All the best! Hugs, Happy Snapping, and Swapping! ;)

 

Comment: I loved this envelope and appreciated all the vintage xmas vibe! Where do you buy these stamps still? I had a guy in California I bought from but he just retired! Thanks LOU!

Comment: Sorry for the delay in rating- your swaps are always beautiful, thank you for making a card- just lovely!

 

Comment: It felt like it was my birthday just seeing your envelope. I hadn’t even opened it yet. The packaging was already a celebration! You truly made my day. Thank you. <3 The best part was that, as the mail carrier, I got to deliver this letter to myself. All my colleagues were jealous. :)
