I received my Gift Bag Swap today and they are all great bags!! A pretty Blue Bag by Twyla Miller- Great Vase with Flowers stamped on the bag in Black very simple and elegant - great for a bridal party shower. What a pretty Vase Stamp!!! A Kraft Colored gift Bag by Mona Stanke- Kraft bag stamped with tiny red stars ( I want that stamp - who makes it ??) A Snowman Row ( 4 snowmen in a row) stamped on each side of the bag - colored with colored pencils the top is punched out to form a holder for twine handles - another great bag !!! A Gift bag by S(?) Manifold: This bag is funny and pretty and my 6 year asked for it - its a bag turned into a ladys dress a white bag with buttons down the front like a blouse a bow around the middle of the bag to form a waist a piece of blue lace around the bottom to make a skirt- the top sides are cut out to form arms - great idea - they are stamped with a pretty lace looking border and embossed in blue. This would be great to do a mans and womens bags for a mixed shower or event - such a neat idea !!! A large Kraft Bag by nameless - wish I knew who stamped with a rose stamp embossed with Gold ep - colored red and green the top is cut with a scallop fiskars then embosssed with a glittery white glitter or EP ( Im new I cant tell ) then the bottom is also lined with a sparkley gold glitter or ep- this is all tied at the top with a raffita bow such a pretty bag.

Yesterday I had a scare. I had an OB/GYN appointment on Tuesday and they took some blood. Then yesterday the doctor's office called me up and told me that my blood work came back that I was pregnant. Good news you say? NO! I just had an IUD removed on Tuesday and if I was, it would have been a tubal one and I would have had to have surgery. Well, this stunk. DH and I had to go back to Erie (50 miles) this morning straight to the lab to have stat bloodwork done and then back to the doctor's office for a sonogram. Well, after sitting in the doctor's office for 1-1/2 hours, we finally got in and the doctor came in and told me that my blood work was NEGATIVE!!!! The doctor thinks that the lab got my blood mixed up with someone elses. The girl who was ahead of me on line at the lab the first time WAS pregnant. Her results probably came back negative! So because of the ineptitude of the lab, 2 people were affected. Both me & DH lost a days wages, had to drive 100 miles, had all kinds of anxiety and mental anguish, lost sleep last night. It totally sucked. The doctor's office is as pissed as I am. I am going to tell the lab that I will NOT pay for either lab test and I want them to pay for my second doctor visit and reimburse me for lost wages and mileage. I don't know what they'll do, but I think they might accommodate me somehow. Hey everyone makes mistakes, but mistakes made by medical "professionals" are inexcuseable. I am VERY pissed. But anyway, on the way home, DH stopped at the Salvation Army store and bought me a very nice blender for $2.95!!! We are going to make some paper this weekend. When we got home though, I got NO mail!!!!!! I'm on a rollercoaster here! I hope tomorrow is going to be better. I have already made plans to have a stress-free, happy day!!! NO ONE is going to mess it up for me!!!!! Hope someone sent me some mail.... Thanks for listening. You guys are the best!

From Kincher: I WANT THESE STAMPS!!! she used the new Stampscapes cracked earth and a big hand coming out of the ground. little aliens are running all around, and spaceships in the sky. "Greetings from the Nevada Test Site" and a Roswell, New Mexico sign are amongst the great images on this card. From Cathy Evans: I would call this card "Build An Alien" A cute combination of different alien mouths, noses and eyes... very funny!! From Shannon Greene: I always love Shannon's cards and this one is no exception! Lovely space lady strolling on the moon's surface. A couple of weird plants (a la little shop of horrors) are looking at her, hungrily, as a spaceship flies over head. From Elizabeth (the rubber goddess): LOL!!! More stamps I want... and what a great card!!! Newspaper clipping of the Roswell incident, and 3 aliens in a space ship landing in a field of sunflowers. One alien says "Sorvik, I told you to ask for directions!" From Mark: On black cardstock... cool background. Looks like he sprinkled white EP ever so carefully to create a nebula effect. Funny stars with smiles on their faces in the sky!! Big smiley moon looks down on this little guy piloting the spaceship. Too cute, Mark! and finally... From Latex Linnie: The ultamate collage!! A wonderful work of art!! Lots of clippings of X-Files, "Alien Month", UFO pictures, alien faces, and some cut out spaceships mounted all together. A little gray smooshy alien toy is glued on the bottom of the card. I love this collage!! - -Fran the Frantic Stamper :-@ - ------------------------------------ For great paper deals, check: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/franticstamp This message was from FranRShaw@aol.com - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.
