Comment: Mushrooms are so fascinating - these blue ones are pretty. Thank you for the PC. I've been doing some re-reading because I've had a super chaotic November, finishing The Labrador Pact by Matt Haig yesterday. I started a new one, now that things have calmed down a bit, called The Book of Elsewhere by multiple authors including Keanu Reeves.

Comment: Thanks for sending the Lighthouse, Gorjuss Girls and summer themed decos, Kaci! I'm always willing to take the more difficult themes (like Gorjuss) because I have a pretty good printer and can find lots of good images online, so feel free to send those ones my way! Thanks for the beautiful watercolor bits too- they will look great in my journal!!
Response: You’re welcome. Thank you for letting me know. I may have a couple more for you. My printer isn’t working right now. It’s a bummer!! I am glad you like the watercolor circles. Thank you.

Comment: Hi Kaci! Thank you for the wonderful Mule Deer pc! Our oldest son and his family live in CO Springs - they were trying to fly out that weekend and it was a mess! They finally made it but with tons of delays, which for adults is not good but they had two littles, so it really wasn't fun all the way around! I am so sorry to read it caused issues for you as well! Every time it storms here, we seem to have large branches down, the joy of older trees - sigh! We will be in CO Springs for Thanksgiving - crossing our fingers the weather is good! Last year on the way back, we ran into major snow in Kansas - always an adventure! LOL! All the best! Hugs, Happy Thanksgiving, and Swapping! ;)
Response: You’re welcome. I am glad your son and family made it out ok even though they had delays. It was a crazy day! Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. Thank you.

Comment: Thank you so much for the deco and the cards! I may have to check out Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places-- I'm doing a reread of the Diviners series currently (more specifically, I'm rereading the first two so that I can catch up for the third and fourth that I haven't read). It takes place in a mystical world of 1920s New York and I highly recommend it! It's pretty spooky though. Happy swapping! I love the notecard too.
Response: you are welcome. It was really a cute cozy book. I will check out the diviners series. Thank you.

Comment: Here I was thinking that our communication was one sided (lol, you’ll understand when you get my letter). I too am a fan of KettleCooked mesquite bbq chips but I have a “ look but don’t buy” policy. Because with those chips, an open bag is an empty bag! Take care!
Response: looking forward to your letter. Oh my goodness those chips are so good. I will only live once, lol so I will buy them. treat yourself! Ha ha thank you.

Comment: Thank-you so much for the lovely vintage postalette and note (and photos!). I went on an online deep dive with the info on the back of one of the pictures (info on the paper company) and it ended up in a funny google street view story I shared with my Mom. Nice way to entertain myself for an hour of downtime on a random weekday! I haven't sent any PCs back to addresses, but there is an identical street address to mine, except located in another Canadian province, and I think I might send them a card at Christmastime, just for fun:) Hope you have a great weekend!
Response: Wow!! That took its time to get to you. I am SO glad it arrived. I like your idea about sending that christmas card, lol. Thank you.

Thank you for the WW Nov gelli print papers. These are perfect! I have two gelli pads, but I make such a mess that I just don't find it fun. It is the only time the 'neat freak' in me shows up!! I love the papers but that mess sucks. Thank you and Happy swapping

MiRdLHWY43 on Nov 8, 2024:

Thank you for the fun Bob Ross postcard. I love the quote and fun stickers too. I worked on Halloween, dressed in my Vincent Price T-shirt and a cape. My coworker brought a bunch of headbands, so we switched between bats, frogs, and obnoxious light up candy corn, lol. Have a great day and thanks for thinking of me.
