Comment: Thank you for the “happy hello.” It sounds like you are finding lots of ways to keep busy while staying home. Learning to play piano worship music sounds great. Our church is doing services online, and offering nightly encouragement. Our Bible Study group meets via a video conferencing program. It’s good to keep meeting. Stay healthy.
Comment: Beautiful Card, and Verse.Wonderful Note you wrote too. Such cute little tags you sent.. Hugs from sunshiny OHIO 59* right now. Frost on Car windows yesterday !!

Comment: Emily! I was so very blessed to receive your BEAUTIFUL poetry and note in the mail today. You are very talented! It was very special that you wrote one honoring ❤God❤. Thank you so much, it really put a smile on my face. I sat out on the stoop in the cool of the afternoon and shared it with my Mom :)
Comment: Thank you for the nice Valentine's Day gifts! They all were perfect! I like the Washi tape! Always, new ones I never saw before. May your day also be filled with family and friends!
Comment: Sounds like a fun New Year's. I visited a couple of friends. We ate a cheese and fruit platter, colored and watched movies. Thanks for the pretty card.
Comment: Thank you for sharing this Alaska postcard with me! I enjoyed that you dressed it up a bit on the back using lovely blue hued washi tapes! The best part was reading what you wrote about getting new snow shoes! I’ve never worn a pair, but I can imagine they must be loads of fun to try on/out!!!
Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely card and the great tea! I can't wait to try them. I loved hearing about your New Years resolutions! Dressing up more sounds like a good one. Mine are pretty typical---lose weight and exercise more. I'm trying hard! Happy New Year to you and your husband!
Comment: Thank you so much for the package and awesome stocking!! The stocking is beautiful, thank you for making it especially in mind for me! I love everything you chose as stuffers especially the Washi tape and hand warmers. Thanks again and happy new year!
Comment: Thank you! I so enjoyed reading your list and the note card you wrote on is beautiful! Thank you for my Halloween goodies! I will use them in some crafts! :)
Comment: Emily...I really enjoyed your note...we too have been getting snow here in NY (I'm not a fan, but my grands are very excited!) Your fall envelope is beautiful and thank you for the leaves and stickers that you sent along to bless me. May you enjoy an abundant harvest for Thanksgiving and be surrounded by love, JOY and peace through the holidays...warm hugs, Charlene
Comment: Congratulations on becoming an auntie. I'm sure your little niece/nephew will have fun getting happy mail from you throughout the years. Safe travels to Seattle :)
Comment: Package of Christmas fun received! Using book pages was a great idea! I have a cake stand all set up with my advent presents... so fun to look at. I love Christmas, I don't care if it's a bit early, I'm all Christmassy inside. (edit: thank you for all the special little items... they meant so much to me! I think I loved the hand warmers best!)
Comment: Box arrived. I love the little book page wrapped gifts and can't wait until Dec 1, to start opening them. Updated 12/27 I love everything! And, especially your notes and stories. My favorite is the story of Bells on Christmas day. And, the little hand warmers will come in handy when I'm waiting for the bus. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful gifts. Happy New Year.
Comment: Thank you so much! I enjoyed reading your letter. The library card with the bird is perfect for a project I am working on! I am so excited about it. Have A Happy Day! :)
Comment: What a beautiful card you sent to me! Thank you for the extras as well. Oh I like a good pumpkin pie too! As always enjoyed getting mail from you!
Comment: Emily, sorry it took so long to rate you. We were hit hard by Hurricane Florence and then we took a vacation up to Massachusetts to my husband's oldest grandson's wedding and to see my two children and family. It was cut short because Hurricane Michael was headed toward North Carolina and we knew the airports might be closed, which we were right. Would you believe we got heavily penalized for cutting the flight and car rentals? What is this country coming to? I love your traditions. They were very similar to mine when I was younger. Loved the fresh cut trees. I usually got a blue spruce to decorate. They were very picky and we ended up with scratched up. Love the smell. Christmas is a special time of the year. I started decorating the day after Thanks giving. Going into the woods for ferns and laurel to make wreaths and garlands. They were the good old days. Now at 75, I put up a 3 foot all ready decorated tree. It is ealry but "Merry Christmas". Shirley
Comment: Emily...thank you for all my happy mail over the miles to bring smiles :) Each item brought a smile and so much encouragement. I so appreciate your prayers. And how thoughtful of you to send a few tuck-ins for me to use. What a fun swap and a chance to get to know each other...hope you are still enjoying fall in your area! Blessings, Charlene
Comment: Love the fun Halloween card and all the fun flat goodies! It's fun that the trees on the card make a heart, didn't see that the first time! Thank you!
Comment: I love the card! Thank you so much. We really need rain. It was almost 90 here today. Hmm... probably would have to pass on the swimming hehe!
Comment: Thank you so much for all the goodies you sent. It was very fun to go through it all and will be even more fun crafting and making cheerful packages for others. Happy Fall!
Comment: That is awesome I got you in two different swaps. I loved the Daffodil story too!! Although I am partial to bubbly, happy attitudes. I think of the words, resilient, persistent and sweet when it comes to a Daffodil. Maybe you're all of the above and she probably envied that from you, That is probably why she "made fun" of you. Hopefully, you left a lasting impression on her in a good way.
Comment: Thank you! I love your Fairy Story you shared. I need to find one of these Mushroom Rings. I don't each mushrooms, so they're kind of a rarity to me. But that is the price for love. lol. Thanks again!!

Comment: WOW..... !st off, your envelope was wonderful! Your writing is very beautiful. So then I open it up to a delightful card, very nice.....

I really enjoyed reading your letter. And as for the box of goodies, everything was so awesome. I am so excited to try the teas! I will use my new mug. It is very pretty. The fox socks are so perfect for me and the owl towel too. I squealed with delight when I saw them! I am seriously crazy over the owl towel! And everything was wrapped up so neatly.
