For PC users the "Ctrl" key is the same as the apple key. Because this form of "Fast delete" is is essential to keeping up with the list, I always REALLY appreciate it when people give a good subject line description. - --Shauna ------------------------------ From: Stacie Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 19:54:58 -0600 (CST) Subject: RS: Dallas Area Stores Hi! I just found out that I'm going to be able to visit relatives in McKinney/Dallas over my spring break and would like info. about and locations of a couple rubber stamping stores in the area. I will probably only be able to visit one or two given time constraints and the fact that my relatives have a baby.

Grocery store, hardware store, crafts store, art supplies store... The small jars are like 1.99 for something like 6 or eight ounces, but if you go somewhere like Office Max or Office Depot, they'll have a 32 ounce jug for like 3.99...way more cost effective this way! If you want a regular kind of a hold, just glue one part, like the part you're going to stick down. If you want an extra good bond, glue both the parts, allow to set a few minutes, and then put the two parts together (this is the best way to mount a die to cushion and cushion to wood, too -- glue both parts, let dry a bit, and put the two together. (Rubber cement WON'T wrinkle your paper, either, and if you get some where you don't want it, you just rub it off...) Way cool...way stinky, too. Use it in a well ventilated area, or people will wonder if you've been using drugs...LOL!

I ask for a contribution of 3 dollars towards postage to return your cards. I have to do this because due to my illness becoming so much worse I don't now work or my husband because he cares for me. Money isn't exactly flowing:) so if I have to fund postage back it is a real problem. My last swap cost me personally 20 dollars to return to people, this looks set to being similar. I hate to winge please firgive it but I know sometimes people put in an amount that would probably cover post in US but when its coming over the pond there is obviously a difference.Hope I haven't offended anyone Suki ------------------------------ From: "Suki Aitcheson(Dragonfolk)" <101327.111@CompuServe.COM> Date: 17 Feb 97 07:42:26 EST Subject: Fairy/Vellum swap Just to let you know the current status of these swaps:) I am awaiting 2 sets of cards which are in the mail as we speak.
