5000 questions

 Swap-bot: 5,000 questions #14

This one was intense - 100 questions from a decades old LiveJournal questionnaire. I sent mine off with so many pages I had to make an envelope to fit!



I received Brooke's answers in a cute card all written in varying colors (with much better handwriting than mine!), plus a few little extras:

Ugly Postcards

Swap-bot Ugly Postcard Swap #67

I sent this gem off to Germany. I have no idea where it came from or why I've kept it!
Update 3/1:
I got this one from Emily in Austin, Texas, which is not nearly as awful!
"Coniver" by Attaboy
"Carniverous Coniver,  seen here with a cloud of Aristocrat Bats, is frozen in complete anticipation, paralyzed by wanton expectation in a drooling trance, awaiting your exit from the shower."

I love it!


Booklines

Sent this to ensigncelery in California, the first and last lines of Glennon Doyle's Untamed, which my friend Stephanie recently lent to me!


And I just got this from Nicole, with the first and last lines from The Shunned House by HP Lovecraft.


She also included a picture of her "bookworm" Jake, who is an adorable old pup <3

Swap-bot: Bible Writing #41 Jude

Diane sent these wonderful "tuck-ins" along with a handwritten copy of the Book of Jude. She really dove into my swap-bot profile to know what to include in this - I love it all!



I sent mine off to Candace, along with a few postcards and a little collage I had fun with:

3 Things?

3 things in an envelope INTL #16:
Kelli sent the most amazing package! This is so creative and inspiring (and generous!)
I can't wait to get these fabrics in the quilt around the world stash.
The first thing I did after these photos was put these in my stamp binder:
😍 A mushroom themed ephemera pack:
Plus a set of washi samples: 
This is way more than 3 things! I love it all!

Would You Rather?

From Swap-bot, would you rather have the ability to travel to any fictional place or have the ability to learn any skill by observing it?

I sent my answer on this Japanese postcard to Danielle in Massachusetts: 

And got this from Sherra in North Carolina:

She and I had the same answer: learn something by observing it.

Also, she's into Letterboxing, which I had never heard of! I might have to try to find a local box!
