I guess because I'm a sysop it's easy.. in fact easier for me to send it by netmail than email.. email I have to log on.. You shouldn't feel obligated to pay for netmail.

Instead of having the same pal all around, lets give it a twist if its not too much work, and change em? that way it might be more exciting and keep everyones interests up?

Make sure it has something to do with crafting though. PK As for colors, Black and Blue of course!! Our logo, a big bruise, what els Yes I think we all agree that Black and Blue should be our colors. As far as a bruise being our logo. How would you draw a picture of a bruise? Maybe we should think a little harder :-) PK VM> Klutz's rule! PK I don't know about ruling, but we definitely get waited on hand and foot mo PK than the non-klutzes do! LOL Pat!

I should have been JS shipped by yesterday afternoon... so I am expecting the order in Monday or JS Tuesday... I will definitly let you all know when it gets here... I am sooo JS excited in anticipation of the order arriving. Yipee!!! I have a small cabinet with 3 drawers. I keep Clear Fine glitter in the top drawer, Psychadelic Embossing powder in the second drawer, and clear embossing powder in the bottom drawer. The entire thing sits on my work table. I just knocked it over and it tumbled head over heals several times. I am so mad!! It costs allot of money to get enough poweder to fill those drawers. I'm so mad I'm not even cleaning it up until tomarrow because I'm to frustrated. I am hoping that we get clear ep and psychadelic ep and clear glitter in the shipment as now I really really need it. Egads! I'm really do belong in the TCC. About my ex-boss and me quitting my job. She is mentally ill and shouldn't be in the position she is in (in my opinion that is). I don't think she wants to be there and I don't think she can handle the stress. At any rate I certainly don't deserve to be treated so badly and I certainly don't want to be the target for her bad behavior. Not only did I not do anything to warrent that behavior, but I don't think that anyone could do anything to warrent that kind of behavior. JS It sounds as though you are taking some very healthy steps to get back n JS your feet and leave behind a bad experience. I have never seen a tampin JS Up catalog. I have heard a lot about them but that is about the extent f JS it... I don't even know if the company is available in this part of the JS country. If you really want to know I can give you a phone number to call and they will tell the name of the closests SU representative. Although I may be it :-). JS For years I did direct sales... I sold clothing, Avon, and even Amway JS products... the most successful was Beeline Clothing and Avon. I was good JS at direct sales too... but now I am so limited in what I am able to do that JS I have not even been able to do all that I want with New Life Creations. I JS keep the company going more for the fun of it than to make any profits. I really don't like direct sales. It's not my cup of tea. I need to do someting about money right now though. JS I know that now that you are not working you will be spending more and JS more time with your stamping... just for the sheer enjoyment of amping. One of the woman in the chat room I frequent on AOL asked me to make her ten cards and a bookmark for a Christmas gift to her friend. I've been working on those for the last two days. Tonight though has been one of those times when everything I did went wrong. So I'm going to lay low on the stamps at least until tomarrow or the next day. I hate days like this. JS -> I am going to be making a treasure album for my dil. I have to get it d JS -> and mailed to NC soon, but I'm afraid to start. I think I'm going to JS -> sponge the cover and then glue some lace and silk ribbon flowers on it. JS -> I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping to get started on some practicing soon. Well, I got started and finished. It turned out really good. I sponged painted the front and back covers with Aileens Ivory, and Gold, acrylic paints. Then I glued a large silk rose with pearls in it onto the front and added silk leaves and lace and pearls. On the first page I stenciled a roses consisting of a bunch of 4, a cherub, lots of small hearts, two corner frames with hearts and flowers. I did them all in grey. Then I spattered the background grey and pink. The rest of the book I will leave blank so that she can create her own memory's and save her own treasuers. I put a "paper pizazz" book in there so she can use the pages to decorate the inside. I was going to do it myself and then I decided that she would have fun doing it herself. JS I did a memory book years ago as a project in college. It was of my JS father's life... I don't know but it might be nice to rework it and refresh JS it. Just a thought. Sounds great Julia. I think you should do it. JS I understand real well... fortunately my internet connections are not JS costing me anything right now that is... I am working on a web page and JS have a lot to do on it before I can put it up... Oh boy a web page. Can't wait to see it. JS -> What would we ever do without the Neverending BBS? JS Believe me right now I don't know what we would do with out it! osing JS my local feed is a real saddness for me... I don't have the energy any more JS to be looking for other local feeds... besides at least with Neverending JS BBS JS I can log in and just get the mail with out the extra cost. I was thinking that if there was a way that we could find all the crafters who are using neverending like us maybe we could each make a thank you card and send it to them. It would be nice to let them know how much we appreciate what they are doing for us. What do you think? Well, got to go. ttyl.........val --- JABBER v1.2 * Origin: The NeverEnding BBS/Deltona,FL/407-860-7720/neverendi (1:3618/555)
