Subject: RS: TAN: Superstition

What unique superstitions do you have and how did they come to exist? For
instance I have a superstition that it is bad luck to keep a journal
because several different years I have started to keep a journal for the
year and every time I have done this, terrible things start happening and I
no longer write it all down...the "bad luck" persists through the year. I
know it is a foolish thing because there can be no cause-effect here..but
still why risk it? haha.

If you don't know what this is, you are really missing out!!  Let me tell
you, it is used to heat set your foil to your cards, letters, envys, etc.
 I usually stamp my picture, photocopy it, or run it through the scanner
and print it out, then lay my foil on it and heat set it.  It is soooo
convenient to be abelto do this anytime I wnat in my own home.

You can pick these up at some Artist supply stores, for about $35.  I am
hoping somone here will carry them discounted.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kelleen,

I, too, am new here.  I signed up for the snail list so I do more Raking
and by Rak'd, but am still waiting for the slit to be sent to me.

I don't know what the CCCC stands for, or anything about the scavenger
rounds, or what the TTOP is.  But, I do know I enjoy listening and
talking to people here.

I have been stamping and teaching classes for about 6 or 7 years now, and
can always learn new stuff.   I collect as many paterns and ideas as I
can.  But, haven't always done that.  Don't know why I didn't start
saving patterns from the beginning.  I must have figured that once I
learned something, I would always remember it.  However, unless you use
it once in awhile, you tend to forget.  <g>

Anyway, I just want to warn you that stamping is FUN, addictive, and
damaging to your wallet.  <VBG>

Welcome aboard!

Subject: Re: RS: WAY TAN: BEAN-O For CATS ?

My friend had a cat, a Siamese named Tiny, who was anything but.  His
favorite game was to jump on the visitors lap, let out a nasty cat fart,
then go hide.  My friend had been feeding him soft food, and table food,
but when he switched to dry food, the gas, and thankfully the game,
stopped.

My own cat eats Friskies dry cat food, and that is ALL she will eat,
except for the occasional chicken liver or steak.  She absolutely
refuses to touch anything else, and she has never had a problem with
gas.

I do recommend a balanced, nutrisious food for any cat though.  Science
Diet IS one of THE best for cats.

If all else fails, contact your vet.  He/she should be able to help.  It
MIGHT be something wrong with his digestive system.

From: Sheryl Porter <[e-mail]>
Subject: Re: RS: SHOULD I CHANGE TO HALOS????

This is a good opportunity to discuss a few things I've seen mentioned below
and at other times when the HALOS discussion comes up.

I'm thrilled that there are so many happy users, and I think I have some
solutions to some of the problems.

Cutting the stamp and loop tape together, can produce an undercut on the
loop tape--but I've never found an instance where it didn't still stamp
well....to avoid undercutting, angle the bottom blade of  your scissors
(preferably the KAIS) outward while cutting.

On the small stamps and word stamps, I like a block of wood that is
completely covered with hook tape--long narrow ones are great, or tiny ones
for individual small stamps.  Placing the images near the top, bottom, or
corners, of the oversized mounts helps you align them since you can not see
through wood.

The fuzzies:  well, here's something you may want to consider if this is
really an issue--but I find they disappear into thin air.  When I first came
up with the concept of HALOS, I had tons of hook tape I'd gotten a bargain
on, and had to purchase the loop side....so I was using the hook on my
stamps since I needed the most of that, and the loop on the mounts, since
once my mounts were covered, I could use them for all the stamps.   We even
published a story in National Stampagraphic many years ago saying,  "it
doesn't matter which side you put on the wood or rubber"  Well, some people
wrote and said, they were picking up ink from the pigment pads when the loop
was on their wood and not completely covered by stamps....so I started
recommending the opposite way.

A few of those early converts actually  still prefer to use the hook on
their stamps instead of loop.  You don't have all the fuzzies from the thick
nap....  and hook tape sticks to hook tape (not as tight a bond--but
sometimes that is preferable--haven't tried hook covered stamps on the clear
acrylics with the hook strips, but it works well on a wooden block covered
with hook tape).   Putting loop strips in the clear acrylics works fine for
hook backed rubber.

On removing stamps from wood to use with HALOS:  Only do it if you want
to....you probably have room for the ones you have--it's your new
acquisitions you don't have room for.  Some people think it's all or
nothing....gotta do it one way or the other, but I know people who use a
combination of all the systems....and love them all, for different purposes.
It all depends on how much you use that particular stamp, whether it
deserves it's own permanent mount (or even a permanent-temporary mount).
And if you have the vinyl cling system, you can even use it on the back of
the HALOS mounts--the side without the grooves.

Our large mounts are very popular, but they are hard to grip if you have
small hands.   I found the greatest solution yesterday at Walmart.  Actually
Gary found them.....they are big yellow foam handles (these were by Stamp
Affair) but Gary said he used to have some at school that they put sanding
discs on.  They are so comfortable and easy to grip and you can push down
really hard and they conform to your hand.  A layer of the Aleene's tacky
(or any brand really--these came with some) works fantastic.  Sticks firmly
to your acrylic mounts--yet you can pull it back off to use on different
sized mounts. Didn't seem to leave any residue on the mounts either.
However, I got some on my hands and it sure doesn't wash off well--and
that's one reason I persisted in my quest to find the best temporary
mounting system for me. The removeable glues were the first thing I ever
tried.  The drying time and also the stickiness, the need for additional
cushioning on larger stamps (and wanting all the stamps to be the same
thickness for combining purposes)  and the storage problem kept me searching
for something better.

I can see where very solid large images might have a bit of a problem on the
large, clear HALOS MOUNTS, but I think the handle will solve this problem
and.... there's no reason you can't still use them on a large wooden mount
with HALOS.  There is no reason they won't work as well this way as
permanently mounted on wood--because the loop tape performs as well as any
cushion I've tried--and we mount a lot of stamps on wood to sell to stores.
The extra added feature of this, is that on the large wooden mount, you can
add words, borders, and corner stamps above and below your large image.

We are also working on something else that should be a help for extra large
images, but it's still on the drawing board.

Another thing we've tried is using some of the smaller HALOS mounts as
handles on the larger mounts.  You have to put loop tape on top of your
large mounts to adhere the handle to, and it does work--but then you don't
have the smooth top surface should you want to use it with the vinyl or
removeable glue, or glue stick methods.

Hope this helps someone....if you have any suggestions or questions, please
let us know.  We welcome and listen to your comments.

Subject: RS:  VENDORS--HELP!!

Vendors,

PLEASE, will you check over your Vendors List listing and ADD
 "ANYTHING" and "EVERYTHING" that you might carry or delete &/or change
anything necessary.  I have received MANY requests asking what vendor
carries certain items and can only refer those that I have listed. (i.e.. what
vendor carries mulberry paper? or who sells Acey Duecy?) and if you have NOT
been specific your company (name) would not be included and I feel bad when I
get a message that says 'I thought ------ carried them also!'

I will be sending out updates (and full lists to new requests) to the Vendors
List about the 7th of February.  PLEASE try and get this information to me
before then.

Thanks for listening,
Vicky

Subject: RS: Iris's SSS6 arrived!!!!!  (long)

After having such a great SSS last time round, I was afraid that no one
could match her!  Boy, was I wrong!
I received a GREAT package from my new SSS and she is a sneaky one!
After the post office cancelled the stamp on the box, she quickly
smudged it before the ink dried!  Sneaky, sneaky! Hmmm.  Anyway, this
was a PURPLE package!  Neat theme and of course, my favorite color!
2 packages of Mulberry Paper, one dark purple and one lavender!
3 spools of narrow satin ribbon, one dark purple, one lavender, and one
lavender with lacy edging
3 brass stencils, a cat, a rose wreath, and ivy leaves
3 cool fold up boxes to stamp on
A bottle of Crown Jewels metallic acrylic paint in PURPLE
A white floating candle (these are cool) shaped like a heart that smells
GREAT!
A jar of Pearl Ex in pearl white (someones a mind reader!).  I wanted
some, but couldn't find any (we don't have a Michael's here!)
A package of Mrs. Grossman's stickers of IRISES!  They are just
beautiful!
The new IRIS stamp from Hero Arts!  I can't believe that I didn't have
this one!  But now I do!  I can't wait to use it!
A pair of Fiskars edgers, the stamp edge, and they have PURPLE handles!
A little bag of the "gold leaf" stuff that was discussed on the list a
while ago and I deleted all the messages so this is no hint to who you
are!!!  I do remember what to do with it though because I grabbed the
tips from the list and put them in my tips file, but didn't grab names!
Anyway, I don't want to know who you are yet, it will spoil it!
5 really long pieces of sheer shiny ribbon (what is this called?? I
forgot) In black, gold, white, purple and lavender (which has opaque
stripes of lavender running its length), in all different widths!  This
is so beautiful!
AND, the tasty part of the package, 2 Whitman's Super Extra Dark
chocolate bars and 2 Callard & Bowser Licorice Toffee rolls.  I don't
know which one to eat first (maybe I'll just eat both now!)
She also wrote me a nice letter with some hints in it just to drive me
crazy!  She said we were in some swaps together...  I think she made the
stationery that she wrote the letter on with her computer, it has
hummingbirds...  maybe it was the hummingbird swap?????  Hmmmm...
Well, my new SSS, thank you SO much for this neat package!  I didn't
know until late last night that it even came!  I think when the 13 year
old came home from school, she just put it inside the door.  Then when
my brother came home (he's temporarily living with us) he picked it up
and said "hey, what's this?".  It sure made a crappy day much better!!!
I can't wait for NEXT month!  Oh, and I will answer your questions in
the letter on the list soon.  Thanks again!
Kate
