At the bottom of the paper, I put my name and e-mail addy. I attach these to the inside or back of my card using the Scotch brand Restickable Adhesive Glue Stick (sticky-note glue in a stick. Great stuff. Use it for my masks, too!) I also sign my card. I'd like to hear how other people do this, too, as I'm pretty new at this swap stuff. Pam, a.k.a.

Did you get the funky new mouse that's a companion to Office 97? It has a roller in the center (between the mouse buttons) that you can use to scroll up and down on the screen in Office 97 apps and Internet Explorer. Instead of moving the mouse over to the scroll bar and clicking on the up and down arrows you just roll this blue roller up and down and it scrolls your picture for you! Pretty kewl. Of course if you work on a non-Office 97 computer you keep trying to scroll the mouse!

Then I stamp each stamp I used in black ink and write the company name under it. Then I make enough xerox copies so everyoner who gets one of my card sgets a sheet. That way, I don't mess up the card and if I do more than one kind of card (which I often do) everyone can see all the stamps I used. I haven't had much feedback on this, but I would love it if others did the same.
