She sent me a "homeschool and SSS package" You are so thoughtful! Inside the package, there was pretty tissue paper all around the goodies. I read the card and looked at it, as my children remind me of what I taught them, that it's proper to read the card first. It is a postcard with rainbows of ink stroked across it. My name is then written in bold, black ink. Pretty! Then, the talking puppy stamp caught my eye! I have never experienced one of these! It's cute and what a treat! There was a whole package of pearls in there along with rose colored bead accents. I think I can use these to embellish my cards and pins with. More stamps! WOW! fabrege' egg from the desk of (a teacher's desk) how cute! Just a Note from Azadi Earles (I needed one with that saying on it) Puppy teacher stamp; it says "neater please" and has a little dog with a paintbrush in his mouth and paint in a mess! So adorable! Also, a set of DJ Inkers textures!!!Wow wee! 2 note pads; one of teddy bears and one of children around the "world" My daughter and I like to write notes back and forth, so I will share these with her and let her practice penmanship by writing to her aunts and friends 36 kids bookmarks. If you don't mind since there are so many, I would like to share these with the kids in the Kids Swap Kira and I are hosting. Then, there will still be plenty for my children. Dress it Up buttons a "cool" bend a ruler! It folds up and has stencils on it, inches, cm, mm and metric conversions! That is going to be so handy! I can't wait to use it and I know the kids will! Last, but not least are the pins! You have got me quite a collection going! I'm going to have to make a special vest now! There are 3 of them: an adorable teddy bear angel, tiny and stuffed, a wooden pin that says "I **(heart) shopping a little woman figure dangling from a screw eye with packages in her hands, one says "sale" Who doesn't love a good sale? The other one I bet you made! It looks like a Dotty's Darlings little girl with a hat pulled over her eyes and curly hair! She's colored in bright turqoise and pink! It's laminated! It's adorable and my favorite because I know you made it and it reminds me of my daughter because she loves hats! SSS, you really know, somehow, what I wanted and what I didn't have already! How do you do that? You are very generous and very sweet to do all this for me! Oh! I almost forgot because I was saving this for last!!! The kids loved their shoestrings!!!!! Without further ado, they rushed off to try them on their shoes and they came running back "they really work, Mom!" My daughter asked "do they look cute?" And of course, they do! Thanks so much! I will have to do something really special for you when I find out who you are. Is there someone I can send cards to that can give them to you? Please let me know the name and address of someone!

Your collage card is wonderful. Feathers and metallics and sealing wax...whoda thunk it would all go together...just georgous. The secret message card (or whatever its called) is amazing...how on earth do you do this. I'm afraid to take it apart because I fear I'll never get it back together again. I'm thinking of labeling all the parts so I CAN take it apart. Now, that marvelous MOM business card.... There are some wonderful colors which look brushed on, are those from the metalics? Gosh, lady! This was like receiving a SSS...now I see why people get so excited. Absolutely the best!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who responded to me about my request. I have an issue of the Rubber Stamper on the way to me. Still waiting for the second issue of Somerset to arrive in stores I guess. Thank you all again." If anyone can get their hands on Somerset for me, let me know.

I think I've gotten them all, but if anyone is planning on sending any, please e-mail me and let me know and I'll wait for them. It's a small swap, but I've gotten extra neat cards. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll go ahead and get these mailed back to everyone. Thanks becky-bear ------------------------------ From: gardner@datastar.net (R. Gardner) Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 22:52:14 -0600 Subject: RS: Card descriptions YEA!! Thanks for posting descriptions of your cards from the "Seashell" swap! And thanks for all the nice "Thanks" you've given me. I enjoyed doing it so much. Still have one batch of the cards going out tomorrow. So...I haven't forgotten any of you! :) becky-bear ------------------------------ From: Shauna Poong Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 20:59:41 -0800 Subject: Re: TAN: NAUGHTY SWAP > I think this swap is going to be the swap of the year - Fun Fun Fun! I think so too. On one of her posts, Valobra said, "If you are easily offended, then perhaps this swap is not for you." I am beginning to worry that my lovely, artistic nudes will not be naughty enough! Just in case I ordered a couple of those catalogs amethyst suggested! - --Shauna ------------------------------ From: Shauna Poong Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 20:52:27 -0800 Subject: Sea Shell Swap Received WOW this was fun. It was the first swap I done on this list. If this is a measure of the whole, you gals (and a guy or two) are great stampers. Big thanks to becky who hosted. THANK YOU! The sea shell wall paper was fun and I really liked the unmounted "Stamp Women!" Lori Blaauw sent a great pin: a little merboy with an impish expression holding a copper embossed trident and riding on a clam shell. It colored in bright & beautiful. I wonder what you coated the paper with to make it slick but not shine? Lisa Wynn sent a beautiful layered card: ecru card stock with squares of olive and ecru rice paper topped with " straw" that looks like sand and a big embossed clam shell. Violetnut sent a long layered card with black card stock topped with white (edges neatly rounded) and squares of red paper flecked with gold. On top of this is a row of gold embossed shells, clam and conch, then a burst of red confetti. Very striking and graphic! Betsy Bursey sent a beautiful post card that she brayered in colors that look like the south Pacific at sunset. She put a square of mulberry paper stamped with a shell on top and affixed three matching real shells in the bottom. Sharon Katy sent a lovely card. I think the background was brayered here too, of beautiful sea greens and stamped with the same shell design that she used as the focal image. This was layered with Peacock colored handmade paper underneath neat brown crinkled paper. Topping the whole was a nicely cut out shell embossed with blue sparkly powder. Ingrid sent a tasteful notecard in ecru. The central image was white paper cut with deckle friskars and edged in gold (very tidily done) and three shell stamps in a row embossed in gold. Lovely! StampaTampa sent a very nive notecard in white embossed with a beautiful power -- I wonder if that's one you sell? It's great! all sparkles with warm hues underneath. The two bottom edges had seashells cut out (or I should say punched out). Cathy the Seastamper layered whit cardstock with purple, then white again giving a nice framed effect. Her stamps were a shell, a sun then a row of sea birds (mud hens?) all stamped in juicy tropicals and embossed with clear. Yummy! Janice Rollin combined stamps with print shop graphics. She took aqua cardstock and placed a neat blue paper on top (what is that blue paper?) The card stock has its corners trimmed with (I think) colonial friskars and the blue paper with dragon back friskars. The top has a row of palm trees, then a turtle and a way kewl crab wander amoung a row of shells that have been beautifully colored in. A piece of real driftwood and a real shell add to the life-like feeling of this fun card. Lastly is a beautiful notecard from an anonymous stamper. S/he embossed gorgeous fluid looking star fish with a beautiful gold/copper powder. (What is the powder?) The envelope has the same star fish stamped in aqua and light greens. The card is perfect to send to someone -- I just wish I knew who made it. I know my descriptions did not do these cards justice. This swap was a lot of fun. Thanks, Shauna ------------------------------ From: KERRY & KAREN KEOLKER Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 21:09:46 -0800 Subject: N.W. SWAP Help!!! hubby crashed the hard drive BIG time....I lost all my files including the info for the n.w. swap. Could the hostess please e-mail me this again? TIA Karen karker@gte.net ------------------------------ From: ljweiner@pipeline.com Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 00:24:54 -0400 Subject: RS: Fabulous Mail Weekend (incl. Chocolate & Background swaps) I got my chocolate swap in the mail over the weekend, but I've been busy trying to get back into the swing of things, after a week of vacation. Some (all?) have been described, but I'll list what I got: Collage card from Kate Whitridge, entitled "Committee to recognize Chocolate as one of the Basic Food Groups" Nice. Lisa Wynn's card with stamped chocolate chips, with one mounted on the bottom left on a pretty piece of marbled paper. Penney Gurrola's Rollagraphed bon-bons--how do you get them so perfect and straight?! Lynn in Akron's "When all else fails, try chocolate" with an actual Hershey's mini inside. Chatty@erols.com--card with multi-colored pastel kisses stamped. Also got a magnet on silver mylar with a "I am a Chocoholic" kiss on it, some chocolate kiss confetti, and some mini Dove pieces (alas, non-kosher, so they'll go to some deserving non-Jewish friend). Thanks to Debra for hostessing. Oh, one last thing . . . I hate to sound whiny, but in about five posts on this swap, no one has mentioned my magnets. I know they were nothing to write home about, but did *anyone* receive them? Just curious! I also received the background swap. I got: A gorgeous card from Hilari Ford with a stamped and embossed circular all-over pattern on forest green cardstock. Mounted on this was a really cool Egyptian? African? image, put in gold photo mounting corners angled across the card. No credits--whose stamp is this? Orange, purple, and gold airbrushed (?) card. No name, no credits, nothing. Cynthia Sillietoe did a cloud background with various images (cow jumping over the moon, butterfly, and woman with star) stamped over the background. Shona Barrick stamped a brown glossy card with bamboo (?) all over, then mounted a white matte card stamped with various images and airbrushed/splattered. On top of this is a Japanese woman in a kimono on the back of a crane. Image looks to be a Curtis Uyeda stamp, but no stamp credits, so I'm not sure. Karen made a pretty card on white glossy stock with peach ink put on it somehow, but I'm not sure. She then had a strip of white mulberry paper vertically down the front of the card, with some narrow strips of yellow and orange paper horizontally under that strip. On top of that strip was a narrower piece of yellow paper, trimmed with Victorian (?) scissors, corrugated, and stamped with an oak leaf, embossed in orange. Very pretty. Thanks, Hilari, for hostessing this one. I got a used stamp that Valobra was selling--the PSX Sunflower Wreath. I also got catalogues I was waiting eagerly for: PSX, Rubberstampede, All Night Media, Hero Arts, Toad Hall/Rubber Anarchy, and Kalligraphika. I need money!!!!!! And finally, I got six back issues of The Stamper's Sampler that I had been waiting for, but I haven't even gotten a chance to look at them yet. I'll have a lot of reading material this week for my lunch hour! Gotta go for now-- Lisa *********************************************************** ljweiner@pipeline.com |=======| | * | |=======| ------------------------------ From: Jutta Hood Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 21:19:52 -0800 Subject: Re: RS: ?COMM?

This is the second time we had this happen but the first was the worst. Lived here 8 years and never had any problem. Everyone who had boats used them and the trailor park had to evacuate and one lady got washed off the road into a ditch and the waiter was up to the windows and recue people had to get her out. The little creek that ran off the river to our back yard is now more like a ruver itself and the kids think they have a skating pond. They don't understand why mom says stay away from it. We had lost the furnace and hot water heater ect. all in the last flood and this time all is well. Last time I did a craft show....what a joke...the flood came two days before the show and all my paperstock was muss. Thats all here. Hope everyone out there is okay and just as lucky! ********************************************************************************************************************* Stampin Nut DAR ******************************************************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: stampinnutdar@juno.com (stampin nut) Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 00:37:57 EST Subject: re: REPOSITIONABLE GLUE I have Kony Bond ( 2 in 1 glue marker) Has two tips.....you apply it and put your paper on it while it is wet...perment bond. You apply it andlet it dry (till it looks clears) put on your paper and it is repositonenable just like a post it. I ordered it through Nasco. When I say apply it to the paper I mean to the paper you will use as a mask. It takes at the most 5 min. to become clear. It does not leave any residue on any type of paper and it does not lift any ink. Hope this helps. You can use it over and over lots of times. It is a bit tackier than the actual post it glue. ********************************************************************************************************************* Stampin Nut DAR ******************************************************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: stampinnutdar@juno.com (stampin nut) Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 00:37:55 EST Subject: RE: TAN RS Sorta???????????
