"Alison Bowes" wrote in message ... If you're curious, I'm doing snowflake ornaments using the Holly Berry House "medalions" snowblossoms. I stamp and emboss the image three times per ornament, cut and layer portions of the image to make a three-d dangly. Alison, I made cards like that a couple of years ago. In fact, the Holly Berry House stamps are what got me into this in the first place. If you can stand to change the size of the card (I did about 4 1/2" square ones) you can mail them in CD gift boxes. I bought them at The Dollar General Store for (I think) 3/$1. They are cardboard and have bright gold, red or silver holographic designs on them. They stood up to mailing. Of course, I took them into the post office and had them hand canceled. If I recall, they were about 1/2" thick. HTH, Cindy |

"Wave Jumper" wrote in message ... I keep talking about starting my Christmas cards but so far nothing has developed on paper. I usually wait until a week before Christmas and then I'm rushing like mad to finish them. I always promise myself I'll do better next year but the same thing always happens. Anyone else have this problem or am I one of a kind? :-( My ONLY problem is deciding what I want to make. I change my mind a dozen times and finally it is the last minute and I have done nothing. I have plenty of free time, I have access to any materials that I want. I just can't come to a decision. Cindy |

If you want to see a few of my cards try:
http://home.comcast.net/~janet.hansen/cards.html Really great cards, Janet. I'm impressed. I am also bad about remembering what card I sent to who. So I have to come up with all new ones every year. Birthdays and everything. I NEED to start writing stuff down. Cindy |

Pat, I looked at your knitted pieces and feel the bug myself. I bought a
book for beginners, but it was undecipherable to me. I was hoping you could recommend a beginner's knitting book which is easy to follow? Thanks, Anya |

I was hoping you could recommend a beginner's knitting book which is easy to follow? Thanks, Anya Sorry for the delay (busy, busy week). The book generally credited with sparking the latest knitting revival is Debbie Stoller's "Stitch 'n' Bitch: A Knitter's Handbook," which has clear instructions and some simple but cute patterns. Me, I'm such a geek that I googled "how to knit" and "knitting lessons" and taught myself the basics on line. Then I discovered that some of my long-time friends were closet knitters, and now we get together on Sunday evenings to stitch - it's really helpful having veterans to help show you what you're doing wrong. If you have a decent local yarn store, see if they offer classes - even JoAnn's and Michael's sometimes have beginner knitting classes. -- Pat Kight |

I take a brayer and run it across an ink pad (I use More Mustard) then across the bubble wrap (bubbles up) then I turn the bubble wrap bubbles down facing a piece of cardstock (I use white) and brayer the back. It makes a background that looks like a honeycomb. Cecelia |

Sorry for my own delay in thanking you for your suggestions. Lately, I am
lucky to get online because my sons are always on and we are *still* dial-up with one phone line. Anya |
