The snow is starting to melt and the weather is frightful but what a
glorious mail day it was!

	I received my stamps from Tiffani,  
	a beautiful card from Diane White - 2 large pumpkins stamped on orange
CS and embossed with gold, these were layered on speckled CS and tied
with raffia ribbon.  It says "A Little Message" and is blank on the
inside.  Very simple and Very Nice!
	TTPO from Ruth Soldavini - The looonnnggg "yard stick" was folded in
half when I received it but I could tell it had been folded many times
along the way.  My daughter had friends over watching videos and they
grabbed it.  That's the way the apple falls... :)

Subject: RS: Tan-Remebering Steam Heater run in--was "Ironing oneself"

We stayed in a motel with steam heaters like that for my first 
honeymoon, and my wife of 2 days leaned against the heater
in the bathroom.  She was not happy when I laughed.
What I just realized is we were married 200+ miles west of here
and lived a 150 miles north of here, and I now live less than
5 miles from where my honeymoon motel is, oh well, I'm glad
that it ended, I am having so much fun with Marlene.
Marlene was in Boone, NC for the weekend, and after hearing
what it was like, I think I should have packed the computer
up and gone with her.
She carried a pumpkin full of candy, down and back (came back
empty) and then I refilled it and she is taking it to work today
to show off (show and tell for a university professor?).

I sent her UM's for a swap during the summer, too... Sent
numerous emails and haven't heard word one. I think I'm going to
have to just write them off. :-(

It's such a bummer to be cheated out of even a small amount.

     yes it does...but it's a little runny and can warp some envelopes. 
     Don't forget to add a couple of drops of mint flavoring (or other) for 
     taste.
     
     -Jim Stephan of Rubber Art Ink created a thicker envy glue but I 
     haven't tried it. 
     
     I'd also be interested to know if there is another thicker recipe out 
     there.

My place is far messier now that when the kids were home.
I have finally got my priorities right, and one of them
is not spending all of my time cleaning.
If you start a list of what is important for your time,
see where cleaning should end up.
  Spend time with Marlene,
  Spend more time with Marlene, 
  Ballroom dance and lessons and practice
  Eat, bath, wash clothes (has to be high else no one will to the 
                           rest with me)
  Do consulting contracts (has to be fairly high to pay for the rest)
  Program templetes for Fit-it (this is so much fun)
  Rubber stamp
  Design new rubber stamps
  etc
See there is no way that I will ever get to the bottom of the
list I already have more than I feel is posible in any lifetime.

But be sure to enjoy life, and anyone that has met me knows that
I do that.

Christine,
The label on the spool says, Twisted Paper Craft Rope.
I have 3 different colors of that and a 1000 feet of different
colored craft cord that I plan on using for "extras" in orders.
I figure that anyone can use a couple yards of this type of 
stuff and it won't be something they already have.

Subject: RS: Cultural/ethnic swap rcvd

Just got my swap cards in the mail today..neato stuff here!!

From Sally Kennedy:  a light brown card stamped with various Mayan looking
animals..these are around the edges, embossed in terra cotta.  In the middle
is a white embossed animal skull.  Inside are 3 interesting looking
figures...very "petroglyphic" looking...stamped in terra cotta.  This card is
very cool!!!

From Ellyn:  A white card with various images stamped on front...and African
woman with a basket on her head, a monkey, and another abstract looking
woman.  There is yellow, red, and green marker "scribbles" all around the
front of the card, and AFRICA written in black...very interesting!!!

From Hilary Granados:  Background of the card is done in a pink and
purple..with various small images stamped in black (reminds me of the
50's)...over this is a pink/orange piece of paper with Elvis stamped on
it..and across the bottom says "Official Elvis Sighting"...this card is very
amusing..makes me want to watch an Elvis movie!!

From Sarah Felt :  A gorgeous card...beige textured cardstock with collage on
the front...Mayan alphabet, hands, decorative papers, wax with an image in
the middle, and a small feather.  This came in a handmade envy..with a small
Mexican map in the corner and a black and white photo of an ancient ruin...I
really like your style Sarah!!

From WVM:  A piece of off white card stock...with collage elements.  There is
some green corrugated paper with gold strands over the top.  On top of that
is a piece of lighter green paper with a petroglyph animal.  There is also
some thin beige paper with interesting brown square designs stamped on
it...and a fimo piece in the middle.   Very cool stuff here!!!

Thanks to all for the great cards, and thanks to Deni for hosting!

Jaimee :)

Subject: RS: Iris's October SSS5 received!!!

I received my October SSS package today!!!!  Cool! My very first
one!!!!!

In the envelope was a package wrapped with green tissue paper tied up
with dark green creative twist.  Upon opening, there were more tissue
paper wrapped things.  There was a big package of specialty papers, lots
of handmade and marbelized pieces.  Had so much fun going thru all
these!  I unwrapped 2 Judith stamp sticks all wrapped up with sheer
shiny ribbons in lots of colors.  A teeny brass stencil of a bird house.
 2 stamp pad cubes -- one in copper pigment and one called Paprika, neat
colors that I don't have but really need.  There was also a package of
Beedz!!!  These were gold, clear amber and black all mixed together.
I've never seen anything like this!  Very neat!  Also there was a jar of
Speckles from Judi-Kins.  They look like teeny-weeny pieces of wood, or
maybe more like ground coffee (the color was "Espresso").  These will be
very neat to embellish my cards!  Now I need to get some coffee-type
stamps.  I'm surprised I don't have any because my husband delivers
coffee and fixes coffee brewers for a living!

Thank you so much, SSS!!!!!  What a fun day!!!!  I can't wait to
play!!!!

Subject: RS: RAK'd by Judy Perry/Medcial Update

Today I received a card from Judy Perry.  It had a carrusel horse
colored in with bright colors.  This was layered on holographic paper
and then onto black glossy cardstock!  It is beautiful!  

	The saying inside goes:

	"When life is getting you down and nothing seems to go your way
just remember you have a friend...chocolate!

	If only you knew how much I LOVE chocolate.  

	Judy sent this to help me have good thoughts regarding our baby and the
problems I am having with this pregnancy.  This came at a perfect time. 
After getting one good test result indicating that the baby was
progressing, I was feeling less scared this weekend.  Then last night I
started spotting again and was a wreck, not understanding how this could
be happening when I am on medication and bedrest.

	Your good thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.  I will go back
for another test on Thursday to see how things are going.

	Thanks again Judy for your kindness.

   The key to making this work is that mom and dad do *NOT* replace
 things lost to carelessness.  Kid  wants it replaced, they buy it
 themself. :)

Subject: RS: I need some information

I have a milk carton template programed, but now I need all
of the different sizes of milk cartons that anyone would
want to make to test it.  I only buy things in half gallons
so I have the width of that as 3 3/4 " and the height to the
bottom of the fold to be 7 3/4"
what I need is the same measurements from the other sizes
like
half pint (is there one smaller)
pint
quart
is there one larger?

also,
how many different size envelopes are there that people like
to make and what are they called and the measurements.

Thanks everyone
Phil

I like my TTPO's.  Because they're really funny and scary.  And I like
all of them.

Autumn, age 5 years 359 days



Autumn received 3 ttpo's today.

from Karen Wasserman a very scary item that Autumn just loved!  I think
she wants to grow up to look just like it!

from StamPerson a very cute Halloweenish item.  Very clever!

from an unknown source...Autumn really got an earful about this one!  I
think she's going to pop!
