With the new loop about hostessing swaps, I wanted to throw something out here...it relates to hostessing, but it is not about the amount of swaps someone hosts! When you are playing in a swap, PLEASE make sure you send adequate postage!! Hostesses often end up having to spend their own money to get your stuff back to you. .32 here and there really does add up after a while. I have had a few folks not send any postage at all.....and I usually go ahead and send their stuff out...but this is getting a bit expensive for me to do. I feel like if I do it for one person, I should do it for everyone...and I sure can't do that!! I am not aiming this note at those folks that have forgot their postage money in the past...please don't read it that way. I am just reminding people to doublecheck when they send out their stuff...and make sure you send the postage exactly as the hostess requests. I myself forgot to send my postage money to Barb for the gift bag/tag swap...but I did put the money in an envy and sent it to her seperately. At least make an attempt to send the money! I have had probably 4 people not send postage....out of that 4, only one seemed to not care. The other 3 apologized and told me they would send out the money...and I ended up telling them to forget it....I was feeling nice I guess LOL Well, that is my .02...and again, I am not pointing any fingers...just reminding folks so that the hostesses don't have to spend their own moola!!

They were invited to teach at prisons, businesses, the fire and police departments and a large orphanage. About 100 boys and girls who had been abandoned, abused, and left in the care of a government-run program were in the orphanage. They relate the following story in their own words: It was nearing the holiday season, 1994, time for our orphans to hear-for the first time-the traditional story of Christmas. We told them about Mary and Joseph arriving in Bethlehem. Finding no room in the inn, the couple went to a stable, where the baby Jesus was born and placed in a manger. Throughout the story, the children and orphanage staff sat in amazement as they listened. Some sat on the edges of their stools, trying to grasp every word. Completing the story, we gave the children three small pieces of cardboard to make a crude manger. Each child was given a small paper square, cut from yellow napkins I had brought with me. No colored paper was available in the city. Following instructions, the children tore the paper and carefully laid strips in the manger for straw. Small squares of flannel, cut from a worn-out nightgown an American lady was throwing away as she left Russia, were used for the baby's blanket. A doll-like baby was cut from tan felt we had brought from the United States. The orphans were busy assembling their manger as I walked among them to see if they needed any help. All went well until I got to one table where little Misha sat -- he looked to be about 6 years old and had finished his project. As I looked at the little boy's manger, I was startled to see not one, but two babies in the manger. Quickly, I called for the translator to ask the lad why there were two babies in the manger. Crossing his arms in front of him and looking at his completed manger scene, the child began to repeat the story very seriously. For such a young boy, who had only heard the Christmas story once, he related the happenings accurately -- until he came to the part where Mary put the baby Jesus in the manger. Then Misha started to ad lib. He made up his own ending to the story as he said, "And when Maria laid the baby in the manger, Jesus looked at me and asked me if I had a place to stay. I told him I have no mamma and I have no papa, so I don't have any place to stay. Then Jesus told me I could stay with him. But I told him I couldn't, because I didn't have a gift to give him like everybody else did. But I wanted to stay with Jesus so much, so I thought about what I had that maybe I could use for a gift. I thought maybe if I kept him warm, that would be a good gift. So I asked Jesus, If I keep you warm, will that be a good enough gift?" And Jesus told me, "If you keep me warm, that will be the best gift anybody ever gave me." "So I got into the manger, and then Jesus looked at me and he told me I could stay with him --- for always." As little Misha finished his story, his eyes brimmed full of tears that splashed down his little cheeks. Putting his hand over his face, his head dropped to the table and his shoulders shook as he sobbed and sobbed. The little orphan had found someone who would never abandon or abuse him, someone who would stay with him -- FOR ALWAYS. - --part1_883505720_boundary-- - --part0_883505720_boundary-- This message was from Rustamping - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

I only wish more would have included the stamp credits. I really enjoyed the "extras" Debbie included in the returns. Many Thanks Deb Gayle - Bookmark used the garden set stamped on yellow cs stamping a glittery hummingbird sipping it's sweet nectur from the flowers at the top. Nicely done. Tonya Riolling - White cs with two hummingbirds and a flower stamped and embossed in gold ep. Nicely done in watercolors. Lindaloo - Glossy Green cs on front is stamped Thank You (unknown) embossed with gold ep top right corner she has a circle cut out with a hummingbird and a flowering vine (PSX) showing through from the inside, touches of colored glitter have been added making this a simple but elegant card. Sue - Deep mulberry colored cs sprigs of whatever have been stamped in white all over the front over this she has added some blotches of colors [shades of greens, and pinks,] I don't know how she's done this, it looks like chalks or sponged on paint but I can't feel it.................Please share how you did this! On this she has layered pink corregated paper then a very nicely colored stamped flower and to top it off she has added beautiful laminated hummingbird pin. Oh yes she's also added a soft pink paper to the inside of the card and tied them together with pink ribbon. Absolutely beautiful card! ? - A great pre-made 1998 - 99 two year planner. The front has lattice work with flowers and two hummingbirds pre-printed, with the wings embossed in white ep. Across the center has been added a layer of gree cs, then a layer of pink corregated and punched out in a decorative punch topped with two tiny hummingbirds stamped and colored. What a great gift!

I'd like to hear about some of the clever ways folks have used some of their own photographs in their RSed greeting cards. I hope some of you will want to share some of your ideas. I'd like to experiment with this myself and need a little inspiration. I've read some interesting articles about taking a black & white image to a place like Kinko's and then have them make a copy on a color-copier, which can produce pleasing sepia tones. I'm wondering about things using archival (acid-free) paper for this (can I bring my own in to them?), and also, what materials have you used to handcolor or paint on these images? Thanks all!

Does anyone know where to get the scented ep and the price? I would love to get some apple scented for some cards I'm going to make. The second question, I have seen some stamps from a company called Impressive stamps. Does anyone sell this company?
