Liz used something along those lines in a CAYA swap on GEnie (titled Liz works on a swap ). In fact that swap was her inspiration for the card she sent to RSM. She told them that, but they didn't put it in the writeup. Liz is a great stamper as well as artist and writer. I knew her before I was stamping and indeed, the very first piece if stamped mail art I received was dragons flying and flaming thread over Pern, by none other than Liz Knotts. I'm still in touch with her. She's not on GEnie anymore, but she is on AOL now. Please give her a big hug for me. StamPatti, vsa & vsr Computers are life. Rubberstamping is art.

I was going to mention Lennon. I remember when he was killed, too, although I'm afraid I'll really date myself with my story. Don't hurt me, people, I can't help being young! My sister was a huge Beatles'/Lennon fan, and she got me hooked...see, I thought anything she liked was cool. And I had this really obnoxious train record she hated so she said I could listen to any of her Beatles' records whenever I wanted if I just wouldn't play my train record ever again. Anyway, I was a month away from turning four (yes, four [that's 4]) when John was killed. I remember getting up the morning after he was killed and Melissa told me about it and I said--you know how much smaller the world is when you're a child--"I thought I heard a gun shot!" (We were living in Utah.) Meliss gave me the most withering look ever. Actually, even though JFK is before my time, I have a great story on that one. My parents were in high school--no, jr. high. (I know my mom would appreciate me getting that right, especially since it makes her younger.) Anyway, my mom was in a classroom and my dad came in (yes, they went to school together, but they didn't date until their senior year) and said "The President's been shot." And the teacher blinked and said "President McKay?" (Who was the president of the LDS church...this is Utah, remember.) Maybe you had to be there.....

I've been stamping and swapping for about 3 years and a little bit. Until I joined this list (when was that now? this past Fall?), I had only ever received credits on cards from one person. At the time, I thought "Wow, that's a neat idea." "I now know where I can get that particular stamp." or "I never heard of THAT company." or some such. I liked the idea. But no one else I was swapping with was doing it, so it never occured to me to do it either. Since I've been here (on the list), I've received a few with credits, most without, but lots of discussion about it. So, I've started doing it too. I print out a label and use temporary dryline to attach it to the back. On the label I include the name of the swap and if I remember, the hostess' name. Also the stamp company credits and my name, address and e-mail address. On the card itself I STAMP on the back my e-mail addy(s) and my VSA stamp. If you think mine are worth using to mail to someone else feel free, but then I'll know you don't love me anymore. RBG Of course, I have no intention of using my swap cards for any reason, and I won't part with any of them. StamPatti, vsa & vsr Computers are life. Rubberstamping is art.

Well, I remember thinking "this is where I have to keep up my speed" then poof! I rolled several times and left one ski uphill. Checking all my faculties (we neuropsychologists check those things: what day is it, what is my name, who is the president, etc.) I realized I was fine, except..... A very sharp pain in my right arm. Think it's the elbow. Well, it's bruised and very painful, but think the insurance coverage covers out of state "not life or death"? You're right. Anyway, I head home Sunday and will get it checked then, but I probably won't post much before then....left handed typing not my forte. Say a prayer that it's not serious and heals quickly. I'm afraid it will limit not just the typing but the stamping too. Can you believe it was the only fall in 6 days??? ;-) Thanks for listening! Off to dream of those big bad slopes!
