My e-mail addy is LindaSueN@aol.com I come from (state or country) Originally from Texas but have lived in Florida, Hawaii, Scotland, Virginia and Maryland I now live in (state or country) Atlanta, Georgia My birthday is (year optional): 10/28/45 - and proud of it! T-shirt size: XXL (or larger) - only use them for sleeping and want LOTS of room! My favorite color(s): almost any except orange or yellow or lime green My favorite food(s): Mexican, chocolate, seafood, BANANA PUDDING and PECAN PIE! My favorite holiday: All! - I'll celebrate anything if it gives me a day off work! Holidays I do NOT celebrate: Yom Kippur, Passover, etc. My other hobbies include: Reading, PC, needlecrafts, sewing Other members of my family: Hubby for 18 years John , my kids - Michael (28) and Lisa (27), three grandkids from Michael and his wife Ronda - Nick (8), Brittanny (6) and Megan (4). Lisa's husband is Daryl and they have Robert (5). John's kids - Johnny (32), Jackie (29) and Jorge (26). Jackie and hubby Greg are expecting first in May; Jorge and Jody have one child - Blaine (18 months). (yes, they're all OUR kids but thought I'd better differentiate since some of you are probably doing some finger counting - this is #2 for both of us!) About my pets (and/or farm animals!) or a pet I used to have, or one I wish I had. None at the moment - it's enough just keeping up with kids and grandkids! My occupation is: Admin Ass't for Engineering Dept. - Hate it and wish I could be what I always wanted to be - Domestic Goddess! I collect stamps/images of: Mostly anything - fav is pigs. Don't do weird or obscene. My latest and greatest stamping discovery was: Watercolors, laminating (via embossing), making "suede" paper, "laminating" mulberry paper Choose the number which most reflects you in the following choices. Example: My life is: boring totally insane 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) 9 10 You can add a line or two of explaination if necessary to your answers below! My stamping style is: cute weird 1 2 3 4 (5) 6 7 8 9 10 I prefer stamps: mounted unmounted 1 2 3 4 (5) 6 7 8 9 10 -- just discovered UM's in Nov. At last count, I had this many stamps: three billions and billions 1 2 3 4 5 (6) 7 8 9 10 In rubberstamping experience I: just discovered it invented it 1 2 3 4 (5) 6 7 8 9 10 Before the "list", I considered myself fairly good - now I'm learning about techniques I never knew existed and feel like a novice again! In anything I may be sent by anyone, I'd prefer to get: handmade things stamping supplies 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) 9 10 -- I'm not greedy but love seeing what's available in the way of supplies from other parts of the country Some of my favoirite RS manufacturer/vendors are: PSX, Magenta, DeNami, Printworks, Art Impressions My favorite stamping technique is: Still stick to the old tried and true - embossing but have also found collage is great for fast, unique cards I really don't like these kinds/styles of stamps/stamping: weird, obscene I first discovered rubber stamping: "Wallflowered" watching my daughter do it for two years and finally decided to take the plunge three years ago. Confirmed addict now! BTW, daughter is stampher2@aol.com - Lisa Wynn. (Am I a boasting mom????) I emboss my stamping almost always! I wish and had the time and know-how to make my own paper. I would like to buy mass quantities of unusual paper but not a lot of sources locally. I like to buy embossing powders and inks - the more the merrier! I buy too many stamps. - or so my hubby thinks! There is no such thing as "too many"! I love word sayings and text stamps. I love pigs and country stamps. When people see my cards they say "Wow! That's beautiful!" When people see my cards they sometimes say "This is so funny! When people see my cards they say "Whoa! How did you DO that??" The people at the post office know me by name. - Not yet but they will! My mail carrier wonders about me. EVERYONE wonders about me! I cook embossing powder more often than food. I am a computer whiz - not a whiz, but getting there! I am an internet guru-wannabe. I teach rubberstamping classes. - only to my closest friends! I own a rubberstamp-related business - someday, someday! I can find my own way to the stamp store. Anytime! I have never participated in a swap before. Just mailed my first three! I pick and choose my swaps, but choose more than I skip. Have LOTS due in Feb and March! Freeform: If you want to know anything else - my life is an open book - all you need to do is ask!

To help keep me organized I have a notebook with ideas about stamping. One of the areas I have labeled Swaps. I print out the information and put it in the notebook. At the top of the page I write the date it is due, filing them in the order of when they are due. The snail mail addy is written on the paper so I have it nearby. When I send my swap I write the date I sent, how many, how much postage, etc. This seems to help. Also in this notebook I have copies of items I have ordered or am interested in ordering. That way I can keep track of what I am getting, when I sent the payment, and when I get it. It is also a good reference for what vendors sell what items. I hope this helps you. It isn't fool proof, I still have to remember to put it in the notebook. Pedstamper Carey ** If you think you can, you're right.

When I see a swap call that interests me the first thing I do is save it to my swaps folder and then tell the hostess I want to sign up. When she sends me back her snail address I save that to the swaps folder too. Every few weeks I go into the folder and clean out swaps that have been received on my end. This works great because I always have the info nearby and I can easily look up an address for someone who misplaced it. Since the subject line always contains the name of the swap it's easy to find what I need in the swaps folder. I also save the info to a separate text file that sits on my hard drive. It's nice to have the info off-line so I can look up an address without signing onto my system. This is pretty much the ONLY organized thing in my life.
