Welcome to RCS Marie! I know you'll get all your questions answered here, just ask away. Artist Trading Cards are
small cards, 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" if I remember correctly. I've only done one ATC swap, but RJ has done tons of
ATC cards, Katrina's hosted 2 ATC swaps, and others have done them. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you more
information. My suggestion on your album is to just start. Obviously you want to make sure anything that touches your
photos is acid free. If you have a scrapbook store in your area, you might check with them. Most scrapbook stores
teach beginner's classes. Otherwise, just start doing it. There's no right or wrong way to scrap, which is why I love
this craft. The only one I have to worry about pleasing is me. LOL -- Deb in AR - Desert Rat at heart!

:D Wandering around our first night trying to get dinner and back to a train station, I found a store, don't remember
the name either. Looking at the costs for stamp pads was enough to choke on. Even if it weren't double for the exchange
rate, the prices were high. Was nice to see a craft store on economy (in Germany, I've only really ventured to one quilt
store and it's always closed! LOL I shop on post at their version of craft store and get most of my fix there) Now to
find out if I get any better choices on our move to Minot :D Yeah... if I didn't mention that, we found out Thrusday

all! Although I think I've done fairly well teaching myself, I am enjoying the BOM at my LQS for learning different
techniques. What I think I've most learned so far is that I do MUCH better with strip piecing and putting whole tops
together as opposed to cutting/sewing one block at a time. I seem to be able to match points, etc. better that way than
one small piece at a time - however bizarre that seems (no pun intended)! Good luck in your endeavors. Kim in NJ

Posted by elspeth on Fri Oct 13, 2006 11:57 AM Post subject: Re: I'm a bad mother.....what else could it be??
Hey, Larissa. This is the time of year when kiddos with developmental issues (like ADHD, autism, pdd etc) go through a
really difficult behavior cycle. In addition to the shortening daylight hours ( and you have already mentioned you
have SAD so you know how you react to this), there are also frequent changes in barometric pressure and lots of
frontal activity. It is a very difficult time for kids, parents, teachers -- I think especially for kids because they
do not understand what is making them act out the way they do and they don't like feeling out of control either. Since
I know you sew (LOL) try making a weighted vest ( you can put large square pockets inside a vest (fronts and back), go
to the craft store and get modeling clay (the kind that comes in colors and is heavy; you'll want enough to equal 5%
of body weight), divide the clay into 4 portions to equal that 5% of weight and place the portions into freezer-weight
zip-lock baggies and put one baggie in each pocket. You might want a tiny bit of velcro to keep the pockets closed so
that he won't find it so easy to take the weights out and fiddle with them (read that throw them around the room). You
can also make a weighted blanket (lap quilt size or bigger) that he can use when he is at home. You can find
instructions for weighted blankets on the internet.The sensation of weight is quite calming for kids with ADHD. When
he is feeling agitated it sometimes help to give him a "heavy job" to do -- moving a heavy box from one side
of the room to the other can be quite soothing also. It is far better in these situations to be proactive than
reactive -- your anxiety when he is cycling will escalate the behaviors rather than de-escalate them, as I am sure you
already know. You are being the best mom that you can be; neurological issues are tough. I deal with them daily in
school but I know I get to send these kiddos home at the end of the day; their parents live with the behaviors. I
really have a great deal of respect for parents like you who are trying to find ways to make life better for their
children. Elizabeth in Spring, Texas

Posted by Leslie & The Furbabies in on Mon Sep 25, 2006 8:50 PM Post subject: Something fun to try- creating custom fabric
I get an email newsletter from Quilting Arts magazine- a magazine I dearly love! Here's a fun technique from the
newsletter: (I think this would work on our cotton fabrics as well???) Make shimmering fabrics with Misty Fuse™
Esterita Austin's Misty-white Fuse ™ and Misty-black Fuse ™, is a dreamy fusible webbing to work with-it handles well,
is sheer, doesn't add bulk to your fused piece, and bonds firmly once cooled. Here's a fun alternative to traditional
fusing: painting stretchy panné velvet with Misty Fuse and shimmering acrylics: Cover your table top with plastic
kitchen wrap or plastic sheeting. Choose 2-3 Lumiere® paints and pour a little into different containers, then dilute
each with water (2 parts paint to 1 part water). Take a piece of Misty Fuse and place it flat on top of the plastic
sheeting. Dip a foam brush into the acrylic paints and lightly paint the Misty Fuse. Let the paints run and swirl into
each other. Allow the Misty Fuse to dry overnight. Take your newly painted Misty Fuse and, following the manufacturer's
instructions, fuse to the right side of a piece of white or pastel-colored stretchy velvet. Make sure to place a sheet
of parchment paper or a non-stick craft sheet on top of the Misty Fuse so that you do not accidentally get any fusible
residue on your iron. Remove the protective sheet and: Voila! You have a new shimmering, colorful fabric that can be
used in your fiber or collage work. You can find Misty Fuse™ at our online store. I would use this only in wallhangings
and wearables- not a traditional quilt- for obvious reasons! You're welcome! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

that blogger has no limit on picture uploads. You can have all the pics you want and it will never "cut you

I wind my floss on the little plastic or cardboard bobbins. I then keep them in 6 plastic craft boxes with dividers.
Over the years I am getting tired of having to open all close these boxes or else I just want a change (Grin). In
looking through XS magazines from the 80's I saw some advertisements for a floss storage / carrying box that looks just
like the empty wooden artist boxes I've seen at Hobby Lobby and Dick Blick ( my husband is a pastel artist). Since I go
back and forth to Helen, Ga. fairly often I would like to be able to take all my floss with me sometimes. Has anyone
used one of the wooden satchels? They look kind of like a wood briefcase. Any other suggestions of what would hold
nearly 500 bobbins and be portable? Many Blessings to you and yours, Naomah

[quote:4a4c335039] Mr. Schwartz owned a furniture store specializing in ornate antiques in the baroque style. He had
walking pneumonia last month and was in one of the baroque style chairs rubbing Vicks VapoRub on his aching chest when
he serendipitously discovered that the soothing ointment gave the furniture a wonderful, deep, rich shine. He
immediately told all the other furniture store owners since their furniture was more modern in style and they were not
competitors. Soon he got reports that the Vicks treatment not only failed to work on the modern furniture, but ruined
some of it. Mr. Schwartz is very unpopular now, and his only consolation is that he learned one important rule:
"If it's not baroque, don't Vicks it!" Oh Gillian ! Just as well you are out of range rotflmao I'll get

Hi Everyone, With your help I have made up my mind. I decided on the Strap-hinge type. The local craft store had a
12x12 cloth bound album in a kit that came with most of the basics that a beginner would need. The pages lay flat and
can be moved it I decide to change the order. (first I have to make pages <G>) Thanks everyone who responded, this
certainly seems to be a very friendly news group. Have a nice day Bill O

I'm with you Barb!....I bought the Zision and although it cuts straighter than Fiskars...it furs up the edge of the
papers. Cardstock cuts fine but the blades seem to blunt quick and are not easy to find. I got round the furry edges
by using a sanding block. Now I have resorted to using a steel rule, cutting mat and a sharp craft knife. I am sick of
wasting good money on all these cutting tools that don't really "cut it" :o) I have heard negative comments
on them all!!! My best cutter buy was a little cutter I bought in Poundland for £1 that fits in a ringbinder and I use
for card-making and quick mats. For scrapbooking I recently invested in the large Anna Griffin cutting mat with all the
angles marked and I am loving it. If I need to cut loads at once I will get out my guillotine cutter...heavy...but
cuts straight every time! -- Take care, Marilyn (Scotland UK) See my LO's and other stuff here:

eyeballed everything. I got one of the large Fiskars ones on Ebay and so I use that if measurement is essential (now I'm
getting used to how it works I like it, but it's definitely not portable). I need something compact that I can take to
crops... what do you suggest? Here's the one that smashed -

case... but is the trimmer any good?

I have the Zisons and I HATE it!!! It cuts card stock or heavier paper just fine but thinner of patterened paper just
tears. I've tried changing blades, cutting fast, cutting slow but nothing helps it was definately a waste! The
cutterpede works great but isn't as easy to transport. I use it at home in my craft room but to go to crops ect. I'll
stay with my old gray 12" fiskers anyday! If you don't push really hard and use a sharp blade they do just fine!

Hello Cathy, Your email address sounds familiar. Were you part of a craft group on webtv called KardKrafters? If so
you may remember me, Chrissy in upstate NY. Anyhow, I will go through my stuff and see what I can find. Karen Foster
has a cute medical line out, papers and cute gel band aid stickers. I believe the line is my Karen Foster. There is
one paper that is a doctor jacket and it has lines for your journaling. Let me see what I have if anything and will be
in touch. Chrissy

Try the leather making aisle at your craft store. They have precise tools. Also Fiskars is wonderful for their punches
(www.fiskars.com) and might have what you are looking for. Kate

I don't know if you would get that level of precision with any craft made thumb punches.....just by the way they
actually cut! Perhaps the one shown on this link would be more accurate for your needs http://tinyurl.co.uk/b8za
....scroll down to item #6. Even the eyelet punches we use will depend somewhat on how hard you hit them with a hammer
as the shape of the head is graduated. How about a single hole stationery punch from somewhere like Staples? Or you
could look for something here http://tinyurl.co.uk/js8u HTH -- Take care, Marilyn "Ted Mahler"

I checked out the magazine Creative Scrapbooking, and it had a lot of really neat ideas, so many to mention on here, but
I loved the altered coin book! Dave if you check this out, you should look at the Mosaic pages! I never even thought of
using contact prints as mosaic in a scrapbook...what a cool idea Once again, thanks for the link Marilyn!! Linda

was wonderful as usuall!!. We got to our hotel on Tuesday and went to Daves by 5pm. He directed me to the new Gauchos
restaurant. It was different, expensive and I know I don't like LAMB...poor little sheepie's!.... Mutton taste like
BUTT-un to me. Not something I wanna eat everyday. Next day for lunch we went to a place we know and LOVE - TED's
....(right KENDA, MC, KATRINA, RONNI????) I of course first asked for 2 styrofoam cups to get cheese sauce to take
home. Then one for salsa. After the meal which was excellent, I got a huge bag of chips to go!!!. Lunch for 2 days for
me!! We did shopping at hobby lobby and i got me 2 tins of K & Company's diecuts to go in sayings and tags. Some
paper by Rob & Bob?, a notch cutter for only $15.99, and several ribbons by american craft were on sale for only
$3.99 a pack. I got the little $.99 ribbons for 1/2 of too. I let hubby pay for that load and went back to get more
ribbons. cowchipper
