Mr. Evo says ... yes, he's down but not down for the count! He's doing good... has a second angioplasty session scheduled this morning on another artery in the heart and a renal artery. They took care of the one that was causing his heart attack Wednesday and are now doing the two others that could cause future problems. He sent me home yesterday to take care of business, guess he told me, huh! I think I have 99% of all orders taken care of and on their way. If anyone's missing an order by Monday... let me know, ok? My daughter's helping me, so we should have everything under control. The email addy's should go out Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll let everyone know when they go out, for sure! In the meantime... Mr Evo made up lots of his "don't even bother to count" cardstock specials before this little problem hit, and they're sitting here waiting for you to request them. Hey, don't be shy... just ask and I'll get one out to you! We gotta pay for Mr. Evo's new lease on life and , who knows! He may be able to count better once he gets back home! :{<> And, yes! I'm still planning to be at the Market of Marion this weekend. I know of about 5 or 6 stampers who have said they're coming, so come on down! Thanks, Giggles, for your post... I can feel the prayers headed this way already. Hey, ... I have no doubts that Mr. Evo will be ok, and I don't want anyone else to have any either. Keep that positive energy flow going...

I must have received a million (OK I'm exagerating by 1 or 2) requests for the phrases. Instead of emailing each of you privately (which I did do for a few people then gave up) I chose the quicker way. I am sorry to post to the entire group for people who are not interested BUT feel free to hit the delete key now. I will continue emailing the group with the rest of my phrase collections - unless people are having a problem then please email me privatley and I will email the phrases privately. If you have any questions, comments, problems, requests, etc - feel free to email me: gmork@agt.net These phrase came from wonderful people on the internet, some are quotes, and some came from RT friends. I did not think of any of these on my own nor do I pretend that I did. Happy Birthday!!Phrases "It's your birthday, . Hope you laugh until cake and ice cream come out of your nose! ================================================================ "Remember the happy yesterdays that you made so special, And hoping your tomorrows will be as nice as you!!"" Stampin'@Midnite (Cathy S.) ================================================================ A card I sent to my SIL when she turned 50 had a picture of a broken down old truck on the front and said, "I'm not saying you're old, but if you were a car I wouldn't park you in the driveway without a pan under you!" Then I sent her one of those disposable plastic bedpans they always send home from the hospital. It was really funny! Mona Poste Haste ================================================================ Wishing you all the best on your birthday. ================================================================ Sending you warmest wishes for a beautiful birthday. ================================================================ Wishing you a day of happy moments and teasured memories. ================================================================ Wishing you all the special little joys that life can bring. ================================================================ May your day bring you special moments and lasting memories ================================================================ Sending you warmest wishes for a joy filled birthday and a lovely year. ================================================================ Hope this birthday brings you everything you're wishing for. ================================================================ Today, may the beauty of life surround you and bring you joy. ================================================================ I hope your birthday is filled with sunshine and laughter. ================================================================ Here's to sweet dreams and wishes come true. ================================================================ "Hope your day is filled with surprises." (Double D Rubber Stamps, Danube, MN) ================================================================ Happy Birthday! May your birthday be so special that you find yourself smiling about it long after its over. ================================================================ Because you're you... I'm celebrating today! Happy Birthday! ================================================================ Happy Birthday to a wonderful sister! Its nice to know that one thing is forever... you'll always be my sister! Have a great day! ================================================================ I hope you know that I love you every day - much more than words can express. Happy Birthday! ================================================================ The heart that loves is always young. - Greek Proverb Wishing you a year filled with love & joy. Happy Birthday! ================================================================ Its your birthday! Take it easy! Relax! Just pretend you are at work! ================================================================ So many candles... so little cake! Happy Birthday! ================================================================ 29 AGAIN??? Talk about recycling!! Happy Birthday! ================================================================ For your birthday, I wanted to get you the thing you need most... but how do you giftwrap a 25 hour day? Happy Birthday! ================================================================ Another Birthday? Before you start feeling old and depressed, just keep this in mind... I have pantyhose older than you!! Happy Birthday! ================================================================ You're not getting older... You're getting another year to shop! ================================================================ I just can't wait to watch you blow out all your birthday candles. Its one of the very few times in my life I still get to hear heavy breathing. ================================================================ I just want you to know that the ONLY people I send birthday cards to are attractive, intelligent and incredibly sexy people... Merry Christmas! ================================================================ Getting this birthday card shouldn't suprise you... ...unless you were expecting a present of course!! Happy Birthday! ================================================================ Carefull how you handle this card! There's a hundred dollar bill inside for your birthday... ...thats what you call an inside joke!! OK guys, I'm just about done the collection of phrases!! Yippee!!!!! I've had quite a few people ask me what it will cost - well of course I'm not going to charge money BUT there are a few things some of you people have access to that I don't and I would love to get my hands on. So I came up with an idea. I'll be privatley emailing out all of my phrase collection to everyone who has asked for it - and in return I'll ask for some things. I'm not going to withhold my collection of phrases until I receive anything - I am not that low!! So basically this will work on a trust basis - if I don't receive anything I'm not going to flame you on the list or flip out. people who want to send me something - it will be greatly appreciated and people who don't - life goes on. So here is my wish list: - my dream - a seal a meal! unavailable in Canada so bags would be nice too. (just a cheap one from a second hand store OK guys, nothing new and expensive!) - miracle tape - confetti OR a thinking of you card made out to my friend Ruby who has been fighting with a brain tumor for the past 3 1/2 years and is slowly loosing the battle. She is a wonderful lady who has more strength than I've seen in a cemi truck but as she has told me "her time has come and she's ready to go" *tears* She loves the cards I make her! Ok guys thats all I can think of so do what you like - the people who have already requested the phrases I have you on file and you should be receiving them soon. Other people who haven't requested them can do so now by sending a private email to me. The Happy Birthday phrases will be the first to go out. Keep smilin', keep laughin' & keep lovin' Glenyce Snail addy Glenyce Mork for cards to Ruby use same addy & I'll get it to her. 4908 Riverside Drive Vermilion,AB T9X 1S7 Canada ------------------------------ From: hornbrkj@nbnet.nb.ca (hornbrkj) Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 06:11:41 -0400 Subject: Debra Young Sorry to post to the list - but didn't have an addy for Debra! - ------------------------- Debra: Your card has arrived, and it's lovely; I am quite "taken" with those antique-type images from Magenta, and this one is quite endearing. I had never seen sticker paper used the way you used it on this card. A novel idea! Thanks for your card!

Stampers don't have time for laundry!! IMHO, ailments are as unique as our thumbprint; and wherever you have 400-500 people meeting regularly, as we do on the list, there are going to be some who suffer with sickness and disability. It's part of the human condition. Depression is an illness - I don't think it has anything to do with stamping; I'm not even sure that it is sympathetic to those who suffer with depression, to make *light* discussion on the topic. So, now I will shut up. Ant Judy H. ------------------------------ From: LMJCAT@aol.com Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 05:30:30 -0500 (EST) Subject: Iam pooped out! Good Night Pals!

I use a brush, size depends upon what I'm glueing. I leave it sit there between stamping times and can zap it in miorowave for a few seconds the next time I need it and the glue needs to be redesolved.

I'd think everybody would want to know some good gift ideas. I'd like something from the sender's home state. From Florida I could send shells, key lime juice, a Florida cookbook, photos or old postcards of area attractions which could be used on cards. I guess this wouldn't work if there was only one participant from a particular state! Well, you could do it for the last package at least.

I was in a swap with a different group (not on this list). The hostess provided everyone with a pattern to use in making their stamping project. She specifically told everyone to use that pattern because she wanted to see how many different ways we could come up with to use it. I made the project using the pattern and sent it in. When I received the swap package back, I found that I was the only person who used the pattern. Everyone else had used different patterns. I felt awful. Especially after following the hostess' directions for the swap. But the worst part was that when others critiqued the swap, there were very humiliating comments made about them. I had spent several weeks working on the projects and had felt proud to send them in. But after that experience, it took quite awhile before I would ever sign up for a swap again. Now, I really question and critique myself ALOT before ever sending a swap project in. Even though I participate in swaps now, I still get really anxious about it when it comes time to mail them in. I also will usually skip over the discription of my projects when list members describe my work. I read about everyone else's projects, but don't read about mine. I'm sure that the person who talked about judging the swap projects meant well. I don't think anyone on the list would ever deliberately be hurtful. But please be careful. There are alot of newbies out there (as I was when the situation occured). We only see what we read. We cannot interpret the intentions of the person doing the judging. Okay, I'll get off the soapbox now.

Hand written was "Rubber Challenge." The card was a wow. A window with curtains. The background was pale pink 'till 3/4 down wallpaper with squares of dots in 4 corners and 2 roses. On top of the wallpaper which was the floor in a bathroom was an old fashioned bathtub. A bear was peeking out over the soap suds. Inside the card "Take the time to enjoy Life's little pleasure's..." Hand written: you've been "Rubber challenged!" See....someone was thinking about you." Can you believe it? It's so adorable and thoughtful. Thank you Rubber Challenger.

I'll just cross my fingers that everyone else's 5 minute cards have that same "quickie" look that mine do. Almost all of my messages have been coming through blank today, so if nobody gets this just let me know. Or let me know if it's blank. Or let me know if it doesn't go through at all. Or let me know if it's blank and you get it 12 times over the next 4 days. Any of those impossible choices will work for me.
