Comment: Thank you for the card - while I have indoor cats, there's a stray we feed in the backyard who looks like the cat on the card. My ragdoll likes to sit in the kitchen window and talk to him. It's the only time my ragdoll makes any noise, except when he's asleep and dreaming.
Response: Aw, this comment is so sweet, your cat sounds adorable. Thank you for the heart! :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful swap! I noticed right away that you made the envelope so that I could reuse it, such a fabulous idea!!! I love everything and you did/put together! Awesomeness!!
Response: I'm so glad you liked the swap!! I can't take credit for the idea of covering the envelope so that it may be reused. Someone from swapbot sent me something similar and I thought it was genius, so I used it. Anyway thank you for the lovely comment and heart! <3
