I'd like to open discussion (not flames) on a subject near and dear to my heart. there are more and more vendors on this list serve. And we all advertise. Sometimes a little, sometimes a LOT. I'm starting to feel spammed and I'm mostly just deleting anything that says COMM or AD on it, because of it. :( 1) Does anyone else feel the same way? 2) If you do, what do *you* think would be an appropriate number of COMM/AD's from any one vendor in any given day/week? 3) If you don't agree, may I hear your reasons? I'm guessing this would be a beneficial topic for all the vendors and hopefully to other list members, so please answer publicly. (I'm way behind on my personal mail!) Here's my answer to question 2: When I first started advertising on the list (almost 2 years ago), a couple of the vendors "pulled me aside" and told me that I should advertise a MAXIMUM of once a day. As you may have noticed, I don't always follow that advice. But it seems like a good guideline. I'd like to hear your opinion. - -- :-D awn Golden Sunrise Enterprises sunrise@wolfenet.com http://members.tripod.com/~Sunrise/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIFE LESSONS FOR THE CYNIC If quitters never win, and winners never cheat, then who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This message was from Dawn - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

We came across some new items that I am going to be selling... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xyron 850 (cold laminator) The XYRON 850 has just made document finishing fast, easy, affordable and fun! Now you can laminate virtually any document - without heat or electricity. You can also instantly turn them into labels or stickers, or prepare them for mounting - without messy sprays, sticky glues or tapes. You can even apply laminate and mounting adhesive at the same time - all without heat, electricity, mess or waiting. No more searching for places that do laminating. No more spray adhesives on your hands, walls and hair. And to top it all off, it's fun! Three Machines In One The XYRONTM 850 gives you three great results with one easy-to-use machine. You can laminate, apply adhesive backing or do both at once - all with the simple turn of a handle. Works With All Kinds Of Materials Because the XYRON 850 uses specially formulated adhesives and requires no heat or power, it can be used with all types of printed or photographic material. You can use it on laser, ink-jet, color and thermal printed papers, photos, blue-prints, maps, menus, plans, charts and more. And the 8 1/2" (21.6cm) document width and virtually unlimited length give you unsurpassed versatility! Change Your Mind? Change The Cartridge! Another great feature of the XYRON 850 is that you can change the adhesive/laminate cartridges about as fast as you can change your mind. In seconds, you can switch between laminating, applying adhesive or doing both at the same time. Three types of cartridges: Two-Sided Lamination--Cut with decorative scissors without destroying seal. Laminate stamp art, decorative papers, pictures & more!! Sticky Back Catridge (Mounting Adhesive)--Turn anything into a sticker: Fabric, photos, embossed art, stamp art, computer art, metallic foil, wrapping paper & more! No blotting or oozing when working with intricate die-cuts or delicate fabrics! Laminate/Sticky Back--Great for making trading pins, greeting cards & more. Instantly creates laminated sticker. You should see how wonderful this does with putting sticky on fabric. It is repositionable for a short time and then cures on fabric after 3 days and then can be put through the washer. Specifications: Dimensions: 12"W x 15.6"L x 10.6"H Footprint: 10"L x 10.5"W Weight: Approx. 8.5 lb. (3.85 Kg), Packaged 11 lb. (4.54 Kg) Document Thickness Range: Up to 0.10" (2.54mm) Document Width & Length: Up to 8.5" (21.6cm) wide, 100 ft (30.46m) long Required Chemicals: None Power Source: None (manual crank handle driven, no electrical or battery needs) Heat Source: None ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New*** The Magic Hot Stamping Pen (Does foiling) Users make their own personalized messages and designs without bulky, costly equipment. Computer image or Stamping a can be done on paper, leather, photos, wood, plastic and more. This is a heat transfer pen that uses 2 AA batteries. Its a little bigger around than a ballpoint pen and about as long as one. All you do is move or write with it across the foil and the foiling is transferred to your project. It comes with foils (red, green, blue, gold and rainbow) Additional packages can be purchased. I am going to try it on the regular foil when it comes in to see if the swatches that I passed out will work for you. Its unbelievable the detailing you can do with this. The end result of the foiling is flat and not raised as with the kind done with glues. ***I have more new products to introduce in the next few days.*** Besure to look at the new items and project cards that have been added to my website.

Well, my experiences really don't have anything to do with other people such as deceased relatives, but mine have been "out of the ordinary." When I was a teenager, a very sensitive and confused adolescent like many are, I used to have many dreams of places that I'd never visited or situations that had never occurred that I would later come upon in "real-life" - deja vu experiences. The last one happened when I was 19 and I was sitting in a restaurant with 2 friends - one of whom I had had a falling out with and one was sitting beside me and the other was across from me...and I remember the lighting being very low and red. Well, months later in "real-life" I made peace with that friend - she, I and another friend all went to Pizza Hut (of all places) and it just hit me like a ton of bricks that I had dreamt all this before...only in the real-life situation, the friends were sitting in opposite positions. Okay, so that's not some earth-shattering event, but it made me think more about "life" and how things are really not how they seem or what we've been told. Anyway, the other experience that I've had is that as a teenager I used to write poetry - and always put a date and time upon completion of it. Well, one year I reviewed all my poems and found that in '83, '84, '85, and '89 I had written at least one poem on August 18 of each of those years...and always in the wee hours of the morning (like 1-3 am). When I realized this it sent tingles all over my body with my hair feeling like it was on end. Even as I type this, it brings tears to my eyes for some reason. There must be something incredibly significant about that date for me personally. Either that was it - to show to me that even among mundane matters, life works mysteriously...or to let me know that more good is yet to come.

I've gotten to work with and meet a few "famous" folks. I work part -time as a wardrobe Misstress for the local Union at the area arenas Which is getting the costumes, props for the stars/actors/bands in shape for the shows/events and sewing if needed, ironing , cleaning them and also waiting on them hand and foot for the event. Lets see most of the stars from skating shows, Tia and her brother Randy, Dottie Hamel, she was about the size of a pea and he was no bigger then my left thigh. Very nice talked alot to me as I worked. I'm gonna mangle this name but that famous Russian ballet guy Rudoph Nv( whatever) worked with him three nights in a row invloved ironing his clothing, washing it and following him around with a folding chair, a white towel a box of tissues and a thermos of tea, he would'nt talk just snap his skinny little fingers and I'd have to drop everthing and set up his chair, lay the tissues next to him, hand him his towel and pour him tea.- I swear this guy would just snap his fingers to see how fast I could do this routine. He never said a word to me, just loved to snap his fingers as much as possible, but the end of the shows he did say to me Thank you very much. Kenny Rogers ( years ago) did his stuff for two day show and he was great, cute nephew Paul was in charge of me and very easy to work for and Kenny was very good gave the staff food, wine, flowers to everyone that did even the smallest thing for him. I did end up burning his pants and even got the flowers. My husband works for a lot of different bands/acts and I have been able to tour with him at times. I've met ( she is good friends now) Suzanne Vega. Shawn Colvin Steve Via ( Yuck, this man is a pig for sure) Got to meet and have dinner with ( plus 20 others) Eric Clapton and he says to me Hi, your John's wife " and I say "huh ?" - I was complete idiot , couldnt talk, just stood there and looked at him- that was awful I worshiped this guy when I was younger and got to really met him and I can't say a word.
