Subject: Re: Spit it out ........A couple of ???s

I just figured you were talking to me since I seem to spit up more than
anyone else on this list so here goes the answers to your questions:

>1. Water Gel Cards -  Is water the ONLY liquid that can be used in
>these cards??
Well, since they are really Gel cards you could try some Jello!!!  Don't
let it get hard enough to bounce off the walls though or that will put
your cards in a different catagory!!!

>2. Stamping on VELVET  Wont this ruin your Stamp  It just spooks me
>Im worried Im going to end up with a big expensive mess and become
>frustratated  forcing me to eat LOTS of Chocolate.......
I'm frustrated and would love to eat LOTS of chocolate and I've never
dreamed of screwing up a piece of VELVET!!!  So share that chocolate will
you????

>3.Have any of you heard of a Collar  I saw these Stamps in a catalog
>RICH AND ALMOST FAMOUS    What are they used for?
We use ours to hook the dog on the run outside~!  Geez!  I thought
everyone knew what a collar was for.  Some people and don't look at me on
this one but I have heard that there are some that put collars on their
spouse or significant others.....now it's anybody's guess why they need
collars....yikes!

>4.Where does one buy a Seal a Meal?
>From the Seal A Meal store!  You know the place that makes all the air
line food!  It's sealed and then served 10 years later.

>5. Can You stamp and Emboss on Foil
You can emboss on anything including the cat!

>6.How did I get so Lucky to find a bunch of swell pals as yourselves????
Ummmm......this is a hard question.....I'll get back to you on this one.

>A BIG FAT THANK YOU WITH CHOCOLATE ON TOP !  ;  )
Did you have to put the words "Big Fat" in with the chocolate?????

Love, Linda

Prior to the Griffin and Sabine books, Nick also did several WAY cool
pop-up
books, and I think you can still find them around.  I got to meet him at
a book
signing here in Colorado when he was here promoting one of the G&S books.
 He
autographed my books, and I gave him a little mail-arty gift.  Then I got
an actual
Nick Bantock art card in the mail to say thank you!!  I treasure that!!

Hey, know what?  Everyone's right!  Hold it away from the heat a bit, let
the stuff mely
slower, and voila, no warping!  And know what else?  Cassia told me her
stuff warps all the
time, but then after awhile it goes back to normal.  So I go to look at
mine that's been sitting
there a few hours, and it IS back to normal.  Hmmm...learn something new
every single day, I
tell you!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOU HELP!!!!!

Jim Stephens has a great grab bag of acrylic mounts, plain.  I don't have

hanging around, too.

Very pleased with her acrylic mounts, but standard disclaimer.

Nope!  I did 75 Christmas cards with a stamped on velvet cutout inside of the

was due in March....silly me!

They are done, but just not posted, so off I go tomorrow
1st to Paper Zone to get a few more large envelopes (they sure go fast!)
and second to the post office.

I am going to start a calendar just for stamping swaps and post it right

Dear List Angels, (and you know who you are)
        Those of you who sent me well wishes were so kind, but there were so
many that I couldn't possibly write each of you individually so I am sending
one big message to the list. Thank you so much for the kind wishes, and the
great thoughts.
        We (Ryan and I) are not better yet, not even close, but have learned
to deal with it. It's annoying when you have the drive and desire to do
something, but no energy in which to do it with. I spent most of the day
laying in bed reading all my RSM issues and picking out stamps for upcoming
swaps. Gonna have to place some orders here soon! =) Ryan spent the day
playing in the bed with his cars and trucks. He won't eat a bite and keeps
getting these REALLY high temps. As for me, I guess if I actually took my
temp, I'd probably learn that I too get the same.
        To all you other sickies on the list, my thoughts are with you, and
I'll be thinking of you. I wish not even my worst enemy this kind of
horrible illness. I am hoping that this will not end in Bronchitis. =(

Love to all of you,
Nicole
