Not sure where we will spend the night on the 14th, whether we will still be in Florida or somewhere in the Georgia area. Last year we were in New Smyrna Beach at the end of August. This will be our first time there in the early summer. Last year we left one day early due to the hurricane that was off the coast closed the beaches down). As for t-storms, I thought it rained in Florida every day about 4pm anyway! :) DH> Back on-topic - - I'm trying to find someone who does beadmaking DH> who can tell me what a "Natasha" bead is, and how to make it?? Hope you can find someone who can help with this. I don't bead. I am almost done with my Bargello quilt top though! Borders need to be made and put on it and then it will be ready to be layered and quilted. I hung the top (sans borders) up on the wall yesterday and gasp everytime I go by it. It is gorgeous!!

It VM> sounds like it would work to keep the powder from sticking in the areas VM> you don't want any ep, but then will it stick in the VM> places you stamped and VM> want to emboss? The downey towelet will keep the emobossing powder from sticking to areas you DON'T want it too.... the wet embossing ink or marker will let the embossing powder adhere to it. The towelet shouldn't cause any problems with the embossed areas. VM> Thats what I do as well. It seems like certain powders cause me more VM> trouble than others. Like white ep and black ep and Ruby red ep seem to VM> stick more on the paper. Do you just hate it when your brushing off the VM> unwanted powder and your brush hits the powder you want VM> to stick? It makes VM> me so mad and it happens almost all the time. Yep, me too! I try and use a very small pointed brush for "flicking" the areas where it sticks.... I have an embossing pen so if I do touch the embossed area I can touch it up with the pen and re emboss and heat. Works great!

They help themselves to it and it was so good, I was thinking I was going o make some sugar cookies and use the candy there but the kids and ate it all up before then. Anyway thanks again for keeping up with my sweet tooth. The flowers are going to be wonderful. I can not wait to get them all planted in order to start my window boxes. I have a small balcony where I am going to put a barrelwith plants in it and some window boxes. So these will get used. I love flowers and usualy plant some every year but this year with the move and all I wasn't sure if I could. Well I hope you picked up my new address..... if not just ask.... hahhahaha then I might guess who you are... Right now I have not got a clue..... Maybe you could give a few hints about who you are.... Are you married? Do you have kids? Are you female??? Where do you live.... now see I am full of questions.
