I can't stop ogling all of the jewelry that you are sending off for submission. I like your past millinery phase, my daughter was all googly eyed over your brooches.

They think they're big dogs which just makes them hysterically funny and cool. I learned that Pip has a pug over on fanci's forum if you're wondering where that randomness came from.<br />yes, they are a one use paper. so the setting has to be right the first time, which is why the other Tracey sent some extras for me to experiment with.

Really, the magazines are hard to get over there? I think you can buy them via downloads at stampington.com if that's helpful for you. <br /><br />hey ladies, hows about we have both Hagen Daz and German chocolates? a feast of sweets!

I could mail it back to you? Everyone here is right. You were right in style back then, and the things you think are funny were absolutely, "tragically hip" back then! I'll bet those very pieces were featured in magazines. You were, and continue to be, a goddess of jewelry fashion! Cynthia, Kim, pass the Haagen Daz... oh, and can I eat some of the potato chips before using the rest of them in a patina recipe? Please, please do post your recipes.

God, I’m such a thicko – I had no idea of the amount of actual physical work involved in these magazine submissions, as well as all the written work.

Must be – it’s the only explanation!<br />Ah, I can see now why you wouldn’t let the gators ride in the canoe with you and Mr. Wonderful on your first date.<br />Well, I’m very glad that I’m not alone in now feeling utterly worthless.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? They don't even sell it over here. *is one of those exotic foreign people from Germany* Well, okay, so there are places that do, but it's crazy expensive and having the mag shipped straight from the US would probably be cheaper ...
