Believe it or not she is still alive and kicking and complaining about not having any chocolate! Ahhhh life is normal in the isolation bubble! Tee Hee! Actually the doctors thought that I had been too quiet for the past week so they thought they would shoot some blue dye into my kidneys to see how they were working......they failed to tell me that this stuff stains the toilet and now I have a blue poka dotted toilet! Oh well, the new color suits John! Tee Hee! Anyway the kidneys obviously work real well except that my body has decided it likes this blue dye stuff and has decided to keep some of it inside. I've been having a wonderful time with John due to a reaction to the dye.......geez! I feel so much better when the doctor's just leave me alone!!! Anyway, I have been busy making Stamper A Day notecards and cutting wallpaper and making envelopes and getting lots of exercise going to see John! What a weekend! Hope I have lots more like this one....NOT!!!! Giggles and Grins!

The Kreate-a-Lope comes with the templates as well as two rectangular pieces to fold the paper around. I hardly ever use the big piece, so it was sitting unused. Well, I slotted that sucker into my stamp positioner, and POOF! Instant see-through positioning. No more pesky papers lying around. This is especially good for me since I use HALOS and I would be going through the see-through paper like crazy since I can't guarantee that the stamp will be in the same position on the mount every time. Anybody else found new uses for old stamping accessories?
