This was a big project... When/If I hold the next class, I will do most of the writing, illustrating, copies, etc., before I even announce the class. My creativity just ran away with me while I was drawing up the Treasure Book info and samples, but it was a great experience for me and I'm tickled to pieces that you guys are happy with what I've sent to you! :) A project of this size makes keeping up with email and paperwork difficult and I appreciate SO MUCH the wonderfully encouraging and supportive messages (AND the phone call!!) I've received in response to this class. So many of you took the time to make me smile, thank you!!! I LOVE to be appreciated! :D {VBG} The last bunch of packages are in the final phase of ready and *all* participants should have the project sheets in their mail boxes next week. Today's load of Treasure Book Class packages have been mailed out to the participants listed below: Audra Silva Betsy Ritter Elizabeth Estes Maryann Gastaldo Susan Ruff Julie Carleton Lisa Varshal Dianna Knapp Trish Rodgers Wendy Bean Rachel Kline Nan Robkin Karen Harris Sheryl Davis aka Postoid Artist *****Ghost-Poo Happens***** email OR angelheart@gci-net.com This message was from postoids@artlover.com - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

Know the store hours. I want to leave on time too. I have a family to go to. Saturdays seem to be the worst. We've been there all day and want to go home!! We have to close down the computers/cash reg. and do other closing procedures...but we can't until all sales are done. So we stand at the front and wait. I hope this gives some a glimpse to the other side of the issue. ok. Now you can flame me :) Laurie" - --------------------- No flame here, but I have my extinguisher at the ready. I know this is going to piss off some people, but that's life. Laurie, I totally agree with you about this. Courtesy works both ways. Though its lovely when a store is able to cater to its customers by extending their hours a bit every now and then, customers have also got to realize that the folks that work in these stores also have lives, families, appointments, exhaustion, etc. and cannot do this as a rule. I have not found a gentle notice that a store would be closing soon to be offensive. To me its just a common sense "heads up". Though, granted, there is a nice way of doing this, and a not so nice way. Was this what the original post was about? That the notice was made in a rude fashion? Or was the poster just offended that the notice was made at all? I didn't keep the post. I know of places that if you call ahead, knowing you might not make it before closing, they'll stay open for you. I know Stampo has done this often. But to just expect a store/shopkeeper to keep all hours just because some folks have no sense of time or concern for another isn't right. It takes advantage of people. I've walked into stores that didn't have vacuums going, totally unaware of the time, and have been told, as I walk in "We'll be closing in 10 minutes." Oh, ok. So I either get what I came for and pass on the aisle wandering, or I take myself a quick 10 min looksee at what they have to offer and make plans for another visit when I can spend more time browsing. If shops stayed open for every person that trickled in, some would never be able to close. That's not fair. How do we know whether or not the shopkeepers have children that have to be picked up at a certain time, or a dental appointment, or a child in a school play that expects Mom to be there? These people are not our "servants", they're folks with lives families and obligations of their own. They're folks who deserve respect just like everyone else. Their time is precious too. Though I do agree that the "businessman" who complained about overtime pay yet made $700 is a bit ridiculous. There are exceptions to everything.

They are supposed to close at a certain time. But her boss has told them that they cannot close until there are no customers and the store is clean. So they very seldom get out on time as someone is always walking in and on Friday and Saturday evenings they stay open till 11pm and that is also when the movie around the corner ends. Well you know what that means... Her boss willnot even post a closing time as she might miss a customer. These are all high school age kids working in the evenings. I also just found out that who ever "closes" has to take all of the money to the owner/bosses house. My daughter had to do it the other night for the first time and there were these big guys hanging around her car. They called the owners, who told them to stay inside and called the police. Luckily the owners came over and picked up the money that night. I'm not to sure I want my daughter taking this kind of risk. Sorry to carry on. This DQ is one of my soapboxes and once I start I get carried away.

This is an amazing creation!! I got a DK book too! It is heavy stone cardstock with the corrogated corner and brown splatters and grey marbling with all the wonderful little petroglyph stamps. I think the faint gold sheen is a sponging of irridescent gold paint. I also think the cover and interior pages were tea died to give them this lovely aged stone brown color. The interior pages are either thin rice paper or maybe cofee filters ?? (even if they're not, that idea inspires me -- I have a slew of filters in a lovely shade of unbleached brown) with more of these little petroglyphs stamped in subtle metallica and stone colors. Really cool. The shape of the book is like a large boulder. DK, are you marketing these stamps or are they your own little hand carved treasures. I would really like to know more about this book -- your techniques and the stamps. Please email me. Deni, our hostess enclosed a little thank you card that is really elegant. It is a rectangle of black matte card about 2X3 inches with a deckled edge stamped with (I'm guessing) the colorbox treasures ink (gold, copper, silver) saying "Thanks for participating in our swap, Deni" Mounted above the words if a smaller decked piece of really neat handmade paper that is mottled browns with a bit of gold and stamped on this is a hand witha spiraling arrow inside. When I was a kid growing up in Utah, we learned how the Anasazi and other neolithic peoples would blow pigment through a hollow reed over their hand as it was placed against the stone wall as a signature or a sign to others that "Kilroy was here." This stamp is like one of those hands. Deni, where is the paper from? Karla WIlliams did a lovely card on a piece of dark green cardstock. The border is smudged with a copper metallic rub and has little copper shapes glued on. Then there is a piece of red sandstone colored paper torn and embossed with copper square design. Mounted on this is a silk leaf, a fann of copper and a gecko embossed in copper on green cardstock and trimmed. Very nice, and I like the sentiment expressed on the label on the plastic envy. Donna Joy made a great postcard on a flecked buff color card. The card has been stippled (?) with green ink and streaked with copper ink and stamped with Rubber Poet Petroglyph stamps in mossy greens and browns. One of these background images had been picked out ina clear thick ep or envirotex. Mounted to one side on foam tape is a gecko that has been embossed with a really neat EP -- green with gold (What is this, Donna?) and next to it is a small nest of spanish moss (or something similar). Lovely! Suzanne Owens card is a tan background with black embossed square patterns, upon that is a red card with embossed black horned man figures, then a rectangle of black corrugated and a fancy edged tan square with a neat turtle. Neatly layered, very rich card. The images really work together. Finally, from Penelope Lincoln, a black ridged background with large rectangle that has a decorative edge brayered turquoise, salmon, orange-yellow and green rainbow, with three black Kokopellis. Simple and quite powerful. I must say again, I am truly impressed with these cards. Thanks, Deni! Great swap!

Buff yellow card completey overlaid with vellum -- large yellow flower drawn with markers on the back of vellum then outlined with white colored pencil on front with the words "Thank you". Included a vellum envy. Really pretty pergamano effect, Ginny. I like it alot! Thanks!! Also, the vining flowers border on your mailing envy, is that one of yours? Do you sell rainbow pads?

Cool! It is a laminated green card with a square of cork mounted on it. there are coffee beans glued to the corners and a great handcarved image of a hand holding a tray with a big steaming cup on it (stamped in brown fabrico ink). The labe on the back is surrounded by gold stamped coffee beans (also hand carved). I'm really glad you decided to play, Michelle, this is cool! I also never posted about the swap, but as hostess, I am honored to be the proud owner of a slew of really fabulous cards!! This was a great swap. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Stampcas did a lovely card with a sponged blue background with a moss green tile floor and columns and a lovely red draped woman figure in the foreground. Thanks for the elegant card, Cassia. Also, thanks Holli, for hosting. And again I apologize for my email and the misunderstanding over the reason I got my cards back.

I am afraid the Post Office has decided to keep mine. I'm just sort of hoping that Christy didn't get them all sent out before the baby made its appearance, but I think I'm just fooling myself. The worst part is that I made 18 just so I could see a bunch of the entries!! Life can play tricks on you, can't it?? Does anyone have any extras of the book they sent in?? I would send you another something (? - book or...) in exchange. I would love to see some of them. - -- AlphaBecky greene10@mto.infi.net This message was from AlphaBecky - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

What caught my eye, was the similarity of the stamps we use for our crafts, and the professional ones were selling from $13.99 to $15.99... I hae made at least 10 so far and shown my little world of people here and everyone agrees with me, that THIS was made for us...RUBBER STAMPERS... I want to refer to it as the CLOCK IN THE BOX....... You take any two piece box... white matte finish or the brown craft boxes, available at a dept. store or craft store... A Bangle Braclet size or slightly larger..i have used all different ones. You take a separate piece of paper and stamp your desired picture (it should not be larger than the top of the box) You then take the paper you stamped your design on and wrap the top of the box with it so hat your design sits in the center...however, if it is the main focus, you will move it slightly... After it is wrapped you make a slit where you want the clock to come out with a rzor blad...you take a pencil point and make a big enough hole for the clock mechanism to come out. you have to slide the razor over the hole to remove excess cardboard. You take the actual clock mechanism and poke it through. You then put the hands on the clock You put magnets on the top and bottom of the back of the box Voila...you have a great present for a little bit of money. So I bought the clock for $15.00 ready made, went to the craft store and picked up the mechanisms to make the clock for about $6.00-$7.00, raided my bureau drawers for a box.... and with in 1 1/2 hours i had "my self" an a new little CLOCK IN THE BOX... I bought three different size boxes, called on my caraft suppliers and I am ready to take orders so that you too have a new inexpensive way to suse your stamlps and make holiday gifts. What is so cool is that you can use personal pictures and just glue them to the box and give it as a gift...a baby picture, a wedding picture, graduation picture..ANYTHING and attach a clock to it! These clock if you attach a magnet to where you want to hang it can be in a car, a bathroom, a bedroom, endless places...if you want to use velcro on the back instead of a magnet you can do that too My prices will be between $5.00 and $6.00 for everything ....(except your paper and stamps), (shipping extra) It will include everything: boxes ( will advise what sizes are available) clock mechansims I will give you numbered face (although you may decide not to use the face) 3 clock hands (hour -second -minute) number placement card and instructions Once the UPS strike is over I will have a 10 Day turn around time... In the meantime I want all your feedback ask me all your questions, and go look in the craft store and see how expensive the mechanisms are... you will need double face tape and a pair of plyers let me hear from you rustamping (kathie) I have attached one of my creations for you to see.. P.S. please excuse any typo errors, i am so excited about this and i wanted to get it on the board right away...thanks - -------------- This message was from Rustamping@aol.com - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.
