Just wanted to let you know that half of the swap cards went out today...the other half will go out Monday. I'm waiting on a couple of people whose cards are in the mail. Such beautiful cards! I had a ball doing this swap (Lots of work. Whew! A big swap!). Also maybe I should mention to swap participants that you may not realize, but the post office won't take your metered postage. At least mine won't (you all know how the infamous Carriere, MS post office is!) :) BUT, no problem for me. Anyway I loved this swap!! Thank you all for joining it with me and be sure to post to the list descriptions of the cards! These were so great, I know the stampers would like to know how you liked each others cards! OK?? :) Thanks becky-bear ------------------------------ From: deeni@juno.com (Denise L Brawn) Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 17:09:43 PST Subject: Re: NEWBIE HANDBOOK Marianne- The handbook is a little bit of everything that you asked me about. A bit of techniques in there, but mostly those new to the list- abbreviations and such. Swaps in general will be mentioned too, I believe. Would you like me to add you to the list of people who want it? As the as the weather holds this weekend and I don't die from this cold I seem to have caught, the plan is for me to make it in this weekend and begina first draft of the darn thing.

UPDATED LIST BELOW--plus which I have and which I need! Thanks!!!!!Sarah There is still time to sign-up. I know there are more DOTS lovers out there! You have plenty of time to join. For demonstrators it is a great way to build your card sample collection. Updated list is below! For those who have signed up or who are thinking about it: Someone participating in the swap had the idea of also sending with your 6 items---6 stamped images using a DOTS stamp. You could use a stamp used in your card or another one. But send 6 images and get 6 back. This is OPTIONAL--but a great idea. That way if you don't have the image already you can still make a card from it. There is still time to sign up for the swap: Name: DOTS #3 swap Hostess: Sarah Shivler sshivler@lib.drury.edu Items: 6 for 6--anything goes (cards, pc, bookmarks, pins) Option: Also send 6 stamped images w/ swap items Details: Use only DOTS stamps Postage: Send a SAE w/ equivalent postage or SASE.

From Florida I could send shells, key lime juice, a Florida cookbook, photos or old postcards of area attractions which could be used on cards. I guess this wouldn't work if there was only one participant from a particular state! Well, you could do it for the last package at least. I was in a SSS on another list a couple of years ago and one of my favorite gifts were some shells my SS had picked up on the beach. She lived in the Ft. Myers, FL area. She sent about a dozen small shells wrapped in bubble wrap and said she collected them for me. I was so touched and thrilled that she had done that. I have those little shells in my office on a little seashell plate. They will always be special to me. Another of my favorite things was a large coffee coaster done in needlepoint. She attached a heavy piece of felt to the back and I always keep my coffee mug on it at home. Don't get me wrong, I love things people buy for me, but there's just something special about a gift that's handmade or hand selected from the beach. :-) SeashlStamper ------------------------------ From: ruthann@key-net.net (Ruthann Gigliotti) Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 13:43:45 -0800 Subject: COMM DJ Inkers 25% off this weekend. ------------------------------ From: Janet Detter Margul Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 10:08:04 -0600 Subject: Secret Stamper Swap Questionnaire (repeating) <<< No Message Collected >>> ------------------------------ End of rubberstampers Digest V2 #348 ************************************ To subscribe to rubberstampers Digest, send the command: subscribe rubberstampers-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@xmission.com".
