Went to a conference today. The conference center had placed white paper doilies under all the water glasses. Naturally, I was compelled to collect some of them to embellish my stamped creations with. Came home, and the HRS Easter/Spring rubber special was in my mailbox. Yeah! Lots of great images. Now I can work on my local stamp club's Easter swap cards, which are due Feb. 9. Yikes! That's even before Valentine's Day arrives! Guess I'd better get to work. Thanks for offering lots of great stamps at a great price! Pam, a.k.a.

I got Karen Barnes wallpaper bookmarks for the Wallpaper swap and some great catalogues & lots of loop tape from Sheryl Porter (HALOS). That will keep me busy for awhile. My hubby & I had to do a walk-through of our house today. The house is really small, and our family has outgrown it. But since moving isn't an option yet, we are going to have to remodel. We have to do the livingroom, our daughter's room, the boys' bedroom, the kitchen and back patio. The only rooms not being not to be redone are the bathroom, my hubby & my bedrrom & my craft room. The real kicker is that my sister & her fiance' will be coming out to stay with us for a couple of weeks after their wedding the end of August. This August!!!!! I'm going to lose my mind. I've had to help with remodels before (everytime I was pregnant, my hubby either torn down or put up a new wall!). But a job this big in this amount of time is unreal. Once it is all done, it will be great. But the actual job is going to be a big challenge. Especially since my Hubby (the Home Depot King!) and I are going to be doing all the work ourselves. How soon to the Carson Convention????? I'm going to need it!!!!

I couldn't believe it! The secretary here at work called and said "You have a package!" (she's great! She always calls when I have a goodie in the mail!!). So after untangling myself from some work (why would I do THAT at work?) I wandered up and there's this big stamped white box from Frank Corradino. Now who's that? Is that Turtle Man Frank's real name?? But I digress! So I ran back to my office to rip it open (as usual!). And just yesterday I received my second issue of VSN and thought of my SS all night as I enjoyed reading it! But, on to the package! First there was a little note that said "A few more goodies from your Secret Stamper!" with these neat little giraffe spot looking stamps on it. And I'm already thinking "This has to be the MOST generous and fun SS ever!". Then lots of pretty red and white tissue paper and cute little "Surprise" confettis. Then a cute little box which I'll have to figure out how to make (and stamped with Celtic knots!) and underneath beautifully wrapped packages and lots of COOL paper! Whoever you are, you sure can wrap beautifully!! Maybe you're Martha Stewart?? :) The paper included: pink Mulberry paper (I LOVE Mulberry paper!) hunter green Mulberry paper black corregated paper tied with a pretty red ribbon white corregated paper tied with a pretty green ribbon brown corregated paper tied with a pretty black ribbon not to mention all the pretty tissue papers used for wrapping! And then these gorgeous envelopes caught my eye. I'm SURE they MUST be hand dyed! They are SO pretty!One was in blues and pinks, the other in shades of red. In one was a coil of black raffia and the other a coil of pink raffia (both tied with satin ribbons!). I'd set it aside earlier, but then I went back to this neat cat tissue paper package. And inside was a jar of crystal hologram EP and one of pastel confetti EP. Oohh...I can't wait to get home to play and I'm not even done yet!!! Next I opened the package with the Bastin tissue paper (she does BEAUTIFUL bunnies!) which was tied with a gorgeous gold ribbon and found a packet of postage stamps (YEA! I can't wait to go through these tonight!) and a very stuffed bag of animal shaped confetti (YEAY! Animals!!) and a package of pretty metallic papers to use in layering or origami, I guess. :) Finally I decided to attack the pyramid box. Boy, was that work to unwrap! There must be a trick to those ribbons!! And inside was a SUPER cute bunny stamp which looks JUST like my bunny Hops from RSA! And I don't have that one either! Thank you thank you, SS for a wonderful package! I really was having a pretty crummy day and this just made my frown turn upside down!! I'm feeling incredibly spoiled!! You're really too good to be true! Thank you! And you not only cheer me up, but everyone else here at work! As I was unwrapping I had 2 of the ladies here at work watching and they were as thrilled as I was! And the secretary loves to see pretty stamped packages too (her daughter is a stamper)!!

(But that part will never work again.) OPRAH WINFREY VIRUS: Your 200MB hard drive suddenly shrinks to 80MB, and then slowly expands back to 200MB. AT&T VIRUS: Every three minutes it tells you what great service you're getting. MCI VIRUS: Every three minutes it reminds you that you're paying too much for the AT&T virus. PAUL REVERE VIRUS: This revolutionary virus does not horse around. It warns you of impending hard disk attack: Once, if by LAN; twice, if by C: POLITICALLY CORRECT VIRUS: Never identifies itself as a "virus," but instead refers to itself as an "electronic micro-organism." RIGHT-TO-LIFE VIRUS: Won't allow you to delete a file, regardless of how young it is. If you attempt to erase a file, it requires you to first see a counselor about possible alternatives. ROSS PEROT VIRUS: Activates every component in your system, just before the whole damn thing quits. MARIO CUOMO VIRUS: It would be a great virus, but it refuses to run.

DAN QUAYLE VIRUS (#2): Their is sumthing rong with yor komputer, ewe jsut cant figyour outt watt! GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS: Nothing works, but all your diagnostic software says everything is fine. NEW WORLD ORDER VIRUS: Probably harmless, but it makes a lot of people really mad just thinking about it. FEDERAL BUREAUCRAT VIRUS: Divides your hard disk into hundreds of little units, each of which does practically nothing, but all of which claim to be the most important part of your computer. GALLUP VIRUS: Sixty percent of the PC's infected will lose 30 percent of their data 14 percent of the time (plus or minus a 3.5 percent margin of error). RANDALL TERRY VIRUS: Prints "Oh no you don't" whenever you choose "Abort" from the "Abort, Retry, Fail" message. TEXAS VIRUS: Makes sure that it's bigger than any other file. ADAM AND EVE VIRUS: Takes a couple bytes out of your Apple. CONGRESSIONAL VIRUS: The computer locks up, and the screen splits in half with the same message appearing on each side of the screen. The message says that the blame for the gridlock is caused by the other side. AIRLINE LUGGAGE VIRUS: You're in Dallas, but your data is in Singapore. FREUDIAN VIRUS: Your computer becomes obsessed with marrying its own motherboard. PBS VIRUS: Your programs stop every few minutes to ask for money. ELVIS VIRUS: Your computer gets fat, slow, and lazy, then self destructs; only to resurface at shopping malls and service stations across rural America. OLLIE NORTH VIRUS: Causes your printer to become a paper shredder. NIKE VIRUS: Just does it. SEARS VIRUS: Your data won't appear unless you buy new cables, power supply, and a set of shocks. JIMMY HOFFA VIRUS: Your programs can never be found again. KEVORKIAN VIRUS: Helps your computer shut down as an act of mercy. STAR TREK VIRUS: Invades your system in places where no virus has gone before. HEALTH CARE VIRUS: Tests your system for a day, finds nothing wrong, and sends you a bill for $4,500. GEORGE BUSH VIRUS: It starts by boldly stating, "Read my docs...no new files!" on the screen. It proceeds to fill up all the free space on your hard drive with new files, then blames it on the Congressional virus. CLEVELAND INDIANS VIRUS: Makes your 486/50 machine perform like a 286AT. CHICAGO CUBS VIRUS: Your PC makes frequent mistakes and comes in last in the reviews, but you still love it. INTERNAL AUDIT VIRUS: Reads all your computer files, and then crashes your system (and tells you about it); but reminds you "...it's for the good of the company.". ------------------------------ From: deeni@juno.com (Denise L Brawn) Date: Thu, 30 Jan 1997 12:53:22 PST Subject: Re: Denise Keep in mind, post it to the rubberstampers list-rubberstampers@list.genie.com THE REVISED "ABOUT ME" QUESTIONAIRRE Name DENISE BRAWN Nickname(s) (& how I got it-them) Deeni- my nephew couldn't say Denise when he was first learning to speak and now the whole famn damily calls me that.

I've always sent cash for catalogues because I don't like writing checks -- such a bother to balance the check book at the end of the month already. I don't remember ever geting burned, and even if I did, it's such a small amount lost that I wouldn't get too upset. As a vendor, I prefer to get cash, mostly because of the time it takes to list all those checks, and yes, sometimes there is a charge. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I'd really hate to pay a $20 "bounce" charge for a $3 check, especially since I would have already sent the catalogue. Just an opinion.
