That all depends on whether the laws passed are in line with the Constitution. The Constitution states that no person shall be given special privelges over another, that we are all the same. Mandating by passing a law that says only certain people can park their cars in certain places *on privately owned property* seems to be contrary to the Constitution.. Since no one has challenged that law, we will not know for sure. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *owner* of the shopping center (or whatever) deciding that he wants to provide handicap parking spaces on his own property. The laws of a free market will determine whether or not he stays in business. If he chooses NOT to provide them, I have no problem with a group protest to try and change his mind about it. Being that it is his porperty, he has the right to do with it as he wishes. Good sense says that he will provide the spaces :) > This message was from Joyful Stamper - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

Where I live we have some stores called Waccamaw Pottery - you know - those stores that seem to sell everything from Bath towels to dishes??! They always wrap your stuff in neat tissue paper. Of course I can never throw it away - so I had a nice stash left over from past purchases. It worked really great with the freezer paper - and now I have some really unique envy's!

Gosh, I'm sooooo excited!!! I just went on a major shopping/ordering spree!!! I ordered all kinds of cardstock to replenish my dwindling inventory, AND 16 NEW ONES!!! I know, I know, that means I'm going to have to do another swatchbook upgrade... well, I'm going to wait til there's 25 new ones, so probably another couple of months til swatchbook #3 is ready. OK, OK, so you're wondering what I ordered??? It's not here yet, so I don't have ANY in front of me... and I don't know what the prices will be yet, because I still need to sit down and do the math... BUT... here's a list so you can start drooling right along with me!! :-) GLOSSIES GLOSSIES GLOSSIES Onyx Black glossy -- Fire Red glossy -- Regal Blue glossy -- Sunshine Yellow glossy -- and Royal Quartz glossy (looks like granite!!) More glossies... but less shiny and coated on both sides: STRATHMORE ELEMENTS!! These are so fun, and I had a hard time choosing just three to start off with. They are white cardstock with a faint "pattern" printed into the finish. The line includes Dots, Lines, Squares, Grids and ZigZag. I chose to start off with SOFT RED DOTS, SOFT BLUE SQUARES, and SOFT GREEN ZIGZAG. CLASSIC COLUMNS!!!! :-) I've had a lot of request for these. If you've seen the Red Pepper/Stucco duplex, then you know what columns looks like. This is from the same line, but not duplex, so not quite as thick. It's regular 80# cardstock. I chose 3 colors to get started: Red Pepper, Marigold, and Romaine. LINENS: I found the most gorgeous TEAL linen cardstock I've ever seen!!! It's called Cayman Teal. I also found some Beckett Cambric Spearmint which is a light light green with green fibers running through it, all that in a linen finish. MORE LEATHER EMBOSSED!! This time, I got White and Red. So now, I'll have 4 leather embossed for you to choose from: Red, White, Black and the original Tan. One more ACID-FREE from the Envirnoment line: This one is called Alpaca and is a soft pink with pink fibers running through. It's a smooth finish matte cardstock and is acid-free!! (oh, and I ordered some more Sedona Red that you guys liked so much... the one that has the look of leather, but smooth and acid-free) They're supposed to be shipping 1/2 of it on Monday and the other 1/2 on Wednesday... so I'm hoping to have these ready for you by the end of the week. WHEW, I'm exhausted!!!

Feel free to print it out and save it ... or visit my website as often as you like ! Instructions for Joining Swaps 1. Read instructions carefully -- when in doubt, ask the hostess 2. Make identical cards (or specified art) in the specified quantity. If the swap says 6/5 or 6 for 5 this means that you make 6 of the art and you will receive 5 back. It is "understood" that the extra is for the hostess to keep. Sometimes if a hostess is hosting a swap using a particular vendor's stamps, the extra card is to send to the vendor (vendors love to see what we do with their stamps and sometimes your card turns into a display item) 3. Sometimes the hostess will say note cards, bookmarks, pins, magnets, or "anything goes". The most common submission will be a standard card size piece of art. 4. ALWAYS sign your artwork. Be sure that your "real" name (first & last) and your e-mail address (if you have one) are on the back of all your cards. This is so important in order to give proper credit when someone receives your artwork. I like to use a general philosophy that if you didn't put your name on it, then you must not be very proud of your work. I have small stickers that have my name, email address and my snail address on them. I just put that on the back of all my cards - its so much easier than hand writing everything each time. 5. Pay attention to the "due" date or the "postmark" date. Some hostess will allow extra time by stating that the cards are due postmarked by a certain date. The downside to this is that if you live far away from the hostess, your cards will take longer to arrive; and ultimately you can hold the swap. Always try to have your cards in before the due date or postmark date. It typically takes packets up to a week to arrive at their destination, but sometimes the post office takes longer. 6. Pay attention to what type of "return" the hostess is asking for. As a hostess myself I average out-of-pocket expenses of $7-10 per swap. This means that people don't include enough postage to get the packet home -- remember that not everyone is making the same thing you are, and it may take more postage or a larger envelope to return art. On average, a 9 x 12 is the best size envelope to send. This means that postage for the return will be a MINIMUM of $1.01, but usually a bit more. Then again, sometimes the 5 x 7 envelope works too; and this cost an average of $.78 to return, but sometimes more. Most hostess realize you can't predict this sort of thing and they as for "SASE plus extra postage". This means Self-Addressed-Stamped-Envelope (with same postage as your existing packet will take to make it to them, plus a few extra stamps -- 2 extras usually get the job done fine). Not all hostess return unused postage or $$ -- that is a common practice. Sometimes people ask you to re-use the envelope -- remember that this isn't always possible, so I don't recommend trying it. You never know what the post office will do to a package -- and the person usually has the envelope so taped up you can't get in it -- or its been re-used too many times already, its a mess. 7. When you send your art to the hostess, you do NOT include a separate stamped envelope for each art piece -- it is one large envelope for everything - --- unless the hostess directs otherwise. 8. Newbies are always welcome -- and there are specific swaps for newbies only. 9. It is generally accept practice that the artwork must have at LEAST one stamp. Some swaps require more than one; and every hostess is different. There has been some discussion of late regarding clip-art images --- check with your hostess before you sign-up to be sure of his/her take on it. Each swap has a theme -- just be sure to stay within the theme. 10. ALWAYS email your hostess privately when discussing the swap -- including signing up for it. Not every hostess is subscribed to the lists at all hours. It also helps cut down on the list mail. If you're going to be late, or have to drop -- email the hostess IMMEDIATELY so you can save her the headache of tracking you down. Communication is very important. 11. And last, but not least, if you have a question -- ask the hostess .... or ask the list (message boards) for an opinion -- we've got a few opinions out there ! :-) ******* Here's a list of the swaps I'm hosting this year.
