<anno> this is gonna be easy. I put all the destructions on the page, so.. all I gotta do is sit here and answer questions!

<MomCat> Is that Ginni Kelly?

<anno> I get a pepsi.. brb

<anno> um.

<anno> ok..

<anno> it says 3 on my clock..

<anno> y'all ready?

<kristi-wor> yes!

<Sabine> yep hi anno

<magnolia> ready

<Bente> yes..

kristi-working is jumping back and forth while working

<anno> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html is the page..

<Janet> I'm ready!

<MARVYANNO> got my teacher hat on..

<MARVYANNO> so.. this is really really really easy.

<MARVYANNO> you just stamp your image in clear ink,

<xheight> He everybody

<MARVYANNO> and then emboss it in clear powder...

<Sabine> hi joyce

<MARVYANNO> a nice rectangle or square image is good.

<xheight> Hi Sabine

<MARVYANNO> and then you take your fat marvies and scribble all over it,

<MARVYANNO> then you take your paper towel and wipe it off,

<MARVYANNO> then you cut it out and put it on your card.

<MARVYANNO> and we're done!

<Janet> Uhhhh anno?

<MARVYANNO> toldja it was easy.

<MARVYANNO> yes?

<Janet> Tell it to me slower. I'm a slow learner.

<MARVYANNO> ok.

<MARVYANNO> put clear ink on your stamp.

<Sabine> anno I«ve tried this once and it made up a mess

<Kaye> can you go to caps

<Janet> like versamark pad?

<MARVYANNO> no, kaye.. this is as caps as I get.

<MARVYANNO> can you emboss with versamark?

<MARVYANNO> embossing ink.

<Ginni> rats gotta go,sorry anno

<cak> what didn't work Sabine?

<Janet> like the top boss pad?

<MARVYANNO> yeah, like that.. mine is called "emboss"

<Janet> or my homemade one with glycerin?

<MARVYANNO> whatever you can emboss with that's clear!

<Sabine> looked like too much paint on the card

<MARVYANNO> (actually, this one was tinted gren)

<Janet> (being married to a pharmacist has got to be good for something, he brought me home glycerin once to use as ink)

<cak> aren't the Top Boss embossing inks tinted?

<MARVYANNO> I think you can get clear or tinted.

<MARVYANNO> I like clear best, but this new one somehow or other is green.

<MARVYANNO> doesn't seem to matter..

<MARVYANNO> didn't show in the end.

<Sabine> ooh I know I take the excess paint off

<cak> It doesn't? Good to know

<MARVYANNO> off the EP, yeah!

<Sabine> that was the mistake

<MARVYANNO> well.. it might show on white..

<MARVYANNO> I never tried it on white.

<MARVYANNO> it wasn't noticeable on the kraft.

<MARVYANNO> so janet?

<MARVYANNO> you got ink on your stamp?

<Janet> my top boss is pink but it doesn't show in the end

<Janet> yes?

<Janet> I got ink on my stamp.

<MARVYANNO> smoosh it on the paper.

<Janet> the glycerin

<MARVYANNO> 'k.

<MARVYANNO> smoosh it.

<Janet> okay!

<MARVYANNO> ok.

<MARVYANNO> now tump some clear EP all over it,

<Janet> (using kraft paper now too)

<MARVYANNO> then tump it off.

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<MARVYANNO> got it tumped off?

<Janet> okay. just a second. I gotta clean up my embossing powder mess

<cak> (lol--she tumped)

<MARVYANNO> well.. lemme know when you get it cleaned up.

<Kaye> janet are you really doing it now

<Janet> i am really doing it

<Janet> last time i tried this, it looked bad

<Janet> so i figured if i did it in class maybe it would be better

<MARVYANNO> so..

<MARVYANNO> are you ready to cook it now?

<Janet> (i'm using my evolving images leaf stamp)

<Janet> i gotta pick the cat hairs off it now

<Serene> ewwwwwwwwww

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<lory> leave em on...texture

<Janet> does anybody else get those stray cat hairs when they tump EP?

<enchy> use that can of air for the computer janet - it works good for that

<MARVYANNO> is pretty much all 'splained there.

enchy raises hand

<Janet> i always have to take those off before i cook it or i got stray lines on my stuff

<MARVYANNO> spray air is one of my favorite stamping tools.

<MARVYANNO> yes?

<MARVYANNO> ench?

<enchy> ye?

<Kaye> me

<enchy> oh i raised hand to say yes to janet

<Pedstamper> Cat hairs? Is there anything that it doesn't get into?

<MARVYANNO> why'd you raise your hand?

<Delise> you the samples are lovely anno

<cak> fi ya got cats, ya got cat hairs--

<MARVYANNO> oh.

<MARVYANNO> hairs?

<MARVYANNO> thank you, christian

<enchy> yes

<Janet> okay. i'm ready to cook now

<MARVYANNO> ok.. hot it up good.

<Kaye> can't think of anything that does not have cat hair at my house

<Pedstamper> I think the cat hairs lend a something special to your projects (mother to 2 cats and a very large dog)

<Janet> okay back. this looks good so far

<lory> dog hair is an equal opportunity offender

<MARVYANNO> ok.

<MARVYANNO> now scribble on it.

<MARVYANNO> start with light colors and then move on to dark.

<Janet> okay wait

<MARVYANNO> you probably won't like the light ones anyway, and it keeps those markers from getting yucky.

<Kaye> i have six cats

<Janet> (first light orange marvey brush marker was dried out)

<Janet> anybody know how to juice these back up again (while I'm scribbling)?

<cak> the easy way to select colors--whatever isn't dried out

<keribou> achoo I'm 'lergic to kitties

<MARVYANNO> my dark blue one was pretty dry-ish.

<Sabine> are they drying out that fast ??

<MARVYANNO> oh.. I had 'em forever..

<Pedstamper> Every time I try to open the page with the pictures I get booted off of here, open this and the pictures close down

<Pedstamper> oh well

<Kaye> they last pretty long

<MARVYANNO> you can open another window, ped?

<Sabine> okay I «ll get them

<MARVYANNO> and type the url in there?

<Delise> Pedstamper are you using the web page to get here or an irc client?

<keribou> hubby keribou is paging me- be back later

<MARVYANNO> so.. how's the scribbling coming, janet?

<Pedstamper> web page, I can't get IRC to work

<Janet> anno, this looks bad

<MARVYANNO> well..

<Sheryl_Pow> What are we scribbling on?

<MARVYANNO> look at the first picture..

<MARVYANNO> mine looked bad too!

<cak> how come Janet?

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<Janet> (plus i just put more water in the top of the brush marker with my syringe)

<Janet> it's garish.

<MARVYANNO> oh.

<MARVYANNO> well..

<Janet> and looks, uh, scribbled on

<MARVYANNO> we can fix that.

<MARVYANNO> did you wipe it off?

<Janet> and i can't really see my leaves either

<Janet> no, not yet.

<MARVYANNO> wipe it off.

<MARVYANNO> it'll make a world of difference.

<Janet> it looks a bit better

<Janet> maybe if I scribble more colors on top of these

<MARVYANNO> mebbe you like to add some darker color...

<MARVYANNO> or you can try the smooshing the memories pad on it some and darken up the whole thing.

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<Pedstamper> smooshing is another technical term like thingie

<Janet> oh this is helping. i had tan and yellow and light orange and peach and then when I put on the green it looked BAD

<Kaye> anno and janet where do you get your kraft paper

<MARVYANNO> I got some from marco's..

<Janet> uhhh Kaye, this kraft paper I got at Albertsons

<Janet> (it was a grocery sack in another life)

<MARVYANNO> he has one called dotmar naturals jute that I like I think best.

<MARVYANNO> mebbe is domtar.

<MARVYANNO> I can never remember which.

<Kaye> where is marco's i need some glossy cs

<MARVYANNO> 2nd star has glossy!

<Pedstamper> website> www.marcos.com

<MARVYANNO> I just was looking at it last night!

<Janet> oh yes they do! (I ordered some)

<Kaye> thanks ped

<MARVYANNO> and sara has a lot of cardstock.. I dunno if she has kraft (she's missin' the boat if she doesn't)

<Sheryl_Pow> are we doing this technique on glossy or matte cardstock?

Pedstamper thinks> Is that the url for Marcos?

<MARVYANNO> I used matte kraft cardstock..

<Sheryl_Pow> oh ok

<MARVYANNO> couldn't tell ya for sure what kind..

<MomCat> I get my Kraft from the "mailing center" of Office Max

<MARVYANNO> whatever was at the top of the stack!

<gale> ACK-I'm late!

<MARVYANNO> 's ok.. I put it ALL on the page!

<xheight> what weight is kraft cardstock...

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<MARVYANNO> there.

<MARVYANNO> didn't miss a thing!

<Sheryl_Pow> marcopaper.com

<Janet> okay and I'm using a grocery sack because it was here within reach and my kraft cardstock is in the other room

<MARVYANNO> um.. cardstock weight?

<Pedstamper> thanks Sheryl, I wasn't sure I had it right

<gale> Thanks anno. I'm sure you know where I was. ;)

<Sheryl_Pow> you're welcome Pedstamper

<MomCat> anno, not not cardstock weight

<Pedstamper> I just go by my first name, Ped

<MARVYANNO> what's not?

<Pedstamper> lol

<xheight> or the gsm?

<MomCat> About like grocery bags

<Sheryl_Pow> oh ok! lol

<MARVYANNO> I'm pretty sure what I used is cardstock weight cardstock!

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<MARVYANNO> wasn't that the question?

<xheight> is it 90 lb possibly?

<Pedstamper> lol, good one anno

<MARVYANNO> just.. ordinary.

<MARVYANNO> I dunno from weight!

<xheight> We usually use much heavier card than you do in the US

<MARVYANNO> but it was probably neenah desert storm of domtar jute.

<MARVYANNO> oh...

<MARVYANNO> that's right..

<MARVYANNO> I got a card from some gal in england once and it was way nice and sturdy!

<Sheryl_Pow> so, we just stamp, emboss and scribble?

<MARVYANNO> hey alicia!

<AliciaG> hello!

<MARVYANNO> then wipe!

<MARVYANNO> that's pretty much it.

<gale> Cards that I get from friends in the UK are nice and heavy too.

<Sheryl_Pow> oops! then wipe

<MARVYANNO> stamp, emboss, scribble, wipe, trim, glue, finished.

<xheight> yes maryvanno they stand up much better

Pedstamper thinks> I can do this

<MARVYANNO> wiping is an emportant step!

<Sheryl_Pow> the secwtgf technique! Love it!

<Janet> my grocery bag sort of sogged out from the marveys

<Pedstamper> lol

<MARVYANNO> (otherwise you get ink all over your fingers when you go to stick it.

<MARVYANNO> well..

<xheight> I'm not doing this just learning from you all....

<MARVYANNO> hot it up again, janet..

<MARVYANNO> dry it up.

<Janet> good plan

<MARVYANNO> carefully.

<MARVYANNO> so the ep doesn't seep.

<MARVYANNO> seap.

<MARVYANNO> whichever.

<Janet> (my master plan here is to cut these leaves out and mount them on a nice background)

<MARVYANNO> I like seep.

<Janet> so it was okay this was just heavy paper weight

<Pedstamper> you guys are so smart, I haven't used my fat Marvey's in years and now I have a reason to again

<gale> You use kraft paper-not cardstock?

<Sheryl_Pow> I only use them for coloring

<MARVYANNO> I used kraft cardstock!

<MARVYANNO> janet is bein' a renegade.

<Janet> this looks okay now. I added in browns and maroons and some ever green

<gale> Me either-my fat marvies are sitting in a shoebox in the dark. lol.

<MARVYANNO> tryin' to expand on my technique.

<gale> Oh. Okay. lol.

<Janet> I'm being a cheap lazy ass. I used a grocery sack

<gale> I have tons of kraft cardstock.

<MARVYANNO> so it doesn't look at all like it started, but now it looks good, right?

<enchy> this is cool anno

<MARVYANNO> that's what happened with the blue fairy.

<Pedstamper> I use my chalks, watercolor, Close To My Heart Markers (got them at demonstrator's price) and Tombows

<MARVYANNO> I started out wanting her to kind of be in a halo..

<gale> I have tons of grocery sacks too. rofl!

<Janet> now what did you say about how to mute it down some?

<MARVYANNO> and she didn't show up, so she got dark all over and looked good.

Sabine wishes she already had them (coming in from Hawaii next week)

<MARVYANNO> you still wanna mute it down?

<Janet> well, I might.

<MARVYANNO> take a brown memories inkpad and smoosh it lightly all over (you gotta have some memories cleaner handy though)

<Janet> I stamped six leaves, I want to try different stuff on some of them

<MARVYANNO> (to get the ink off the ep)

<MARVYANNO> that really made a difference with the one from the last time I taught this..

<Janet> Okay. I had laid out my memories brown from before.

<gale> Would brown dye ink work? I'm off memories right now.

<Sheryl_Pow> so, you are actually scribbling randomly?

<MARVYANNO> in the other examples..

<Janet> I am, Sheryl.

<MARVYANNO> it soaks in too much, gale..

<MARVYANNO> well.. vivid does.

<MARVYANNO> the foam pad kind.

<gale> Oh. Guess I'll dig my memories brown back out. lol

<Sheryl_Pow> ok, got it

<MARVYANNO> you might try another dye ink in a felt pad though..

<Janet> I got that memories brown to stamp things to watercolor and didn't like the color of it after all.

<xheight> sorry have to leave you

<MARVYANNO> the foam kind hold too much ink at the surface I think, and it kinda of takes over.

<Janet> i think it really improved my leaf!

<gale> Okay. I have adirondacks.

<MARVYANNO> it really made a difference on that one from last class.. it was pretty hideous til I smeared the memories on it!

<MARVYANNO> that memories brown really fades when it dries.. it's good for stamping, but that has to be the effect you want.. faded..

<Janet> it wasn't what I wanted for what I bought it for, but this is looking pretty good now.

<gale> Is that the artprint brown?

<MARVYANNO> at least the old memories brown.. I dunno if they reformulated that one too or not.

<Janet> yep.

<MARVYANNO> hey terarla

<MARVYANNO> I think the one I have is called "chestnut".

<MARVYANNO> but I'd have to go upstairs to be sure!

<gale> I'll have to make do with artprint brown. lol. I'm not buying any more memories-I'm mad at them.

<Sabine> anno, the marveys aren«t transparent , are they ?

<MARVYANNO> why are you mad at them?

<MARVYANNO> um...

<MARVYANNO> I think I'd call 'em transparant....

<MARVYANNO> transparent..

<gale> Because my blasted black reinker isn't waterproof.

<Sabine> ok

<MARVYANNO> one of those.. the 2nd..

<Janet> well, you can see darker things under them

<MARVYANNO> oh.. that's the new kind!

<MARVYANNO> you gotta get the old kind!

<gale> And I ruined my old good pad with it.

<MARVYANNO> or the new new kind!

<MARVYANNO> oh.

<MARVYANNO> ack.

<MARVYANNO> I would be mad too.

Sabine sighs

<gale> I can't find the old kind-I live out in the sticks. I'll stick with brilliance and ancient page.

<MARVYANNO> evo has the new old kind..

<Sheryl_Pow> me too gale

<MARVYANNO> document ink i think it's called now.

<gale> Now you tell me. lol.

<RubberKin> ancient page is a good one for waterproof

<MARVYANNO> did you ask before?

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<Sabine> don«t know which I«ll be getting LOL

<gale> Probably. You ignored me.

<MARVYANNO> I'm sure I did.

<MARVYANNO> I do that alla time.

<MARVYANNO> so.

<MARVYANNO> janet?

<Janet> yeah, evo's document ink is great.

<gale> I like the brilliance because everyone else does. rofl!

<enchy> i love that ink

<MARVYANNO> did you finish it and scan it so we can see it?

<Janet> i'm still cleaning my stamping

<Janet> not yet.

<MARVYANNO> I don't have a brilliance one yet...

<gale> Cleaning?? What's that??

<MARVYANNO> is on order.

<MARVYANNO> you gotta clean that ink off the ep!

<Janet> but if I scan it and put it to show you during trick anno treat, can I get a treat for it?

<MARVYANNO> oh.

<Sheryl_Pow> brilliance black is wonderful

<MARVYANNO> ok.

<MARVYANNO> sure.

<Janet> okay!

<gale> I have about 7 now. But 4 haven't been opened yet. I just got them a couple days ago.

Janet will scan for a treat.

<MARVYANNO> I have 4 on order...

<gale> Oh-that cleaning is okay.

<MARVYANNO> that'll do for starters..

<Janet> (I was also goign to bring my rolls of TP to trick anno treat time)

<Sabine> I love the cosmic copper

<Sheryl_Pow> I have 13 of them

<gale> I'm trying to think of a tip for trick anno treat. Can it be a shopping tip? lol

<MARVYANNO> I don't live in the sticks but stamping-wise I might as well.

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<Sabine> I do for sure ..

<delise> The brillance beige is my favorite

<MARVYANNO> if it's a shoppin' tip I dunno, then sure!

<gale> I love the copper too. I stamped it on purple vellum and it's really nice.

<gale> Or a fishing tip? rofl!

<MARVYANNO> I can't remember which ones I got.

<Sabine> great idea gale

<MARVYANNO> black and copper and..

<MARVYANNO> gold and..

<MARVYANNO> khaki?

delise did a huge italian renaisance card last week and used it

<MARVYANNO> is there a khaki?

<MARVYANNO> dark blue?

<MARVYANNO> one of those I bet.

<Janet> there's a platinum

<gale> Beige is khaki, I think.

<Sabine> don«t remember

<MARVYANNO> mebbe I got beige.

<MARVYANNO> I'll just be surprised when they come.

<MARVYANNO> is there white?

<MARVYANNO> maybe I got white.

<Sabine> anno , may I be off topic ?

<Janet> there's white, I got that

<MARVYANNO> sure!

<MARVYANNO> I am.. why not you?

<Janet> lol

<Sabine> got to tdo a card tonight for a 30 year anniversary

<cak> ol

<Janet> (i live off topic)

<MARVYANNO> they haven't yet made a topic broad enough to contain me..

<cak> congratulations!

<Sabine> she cares for children and loves silver grexs and sparkle/glitter

<Kaye> i am going to have to say good bye

<Sabine> greys

<MARVYANNO> see ya, kaye

<Sabine> bye kaye

<Kaye> need to get the rest of the kids halloween stuff

<Janet> see you later, Kaye

<Sabine> haven«t got an idea yet

<Kaye> see you later

<gale> I'm glad we halloweened on sunday.

<MARVYANNO> I'd probably do some spray of flowers in silver on a kind of dark medium blue,

<MARVYANNO> and finish it off with a gray organza ribbon.

<Janet> ooo Sabine, do this, anno would it work if you stamped and embossed with silver and did the marveys in blues?

<MARVYANNO> oh.

<MARVYANNO> sure.

<MARVYANNO> that'd work!

<MARVYANNO> It worked with black..

<MARVYANNO> sure it would work with silver.

<MARVYANNO> and then layer it with blues and grays on whichever color card wound up looking best at the bottom of the stack.

<Sabine> I«m thinking of spread silver and black diamonds EP

<MARVYANNO> mebbe a ripped vellum in there.

<Pedstamper> ok, I got the embossing done (starting very late)

<MARVYANNO> oh. good, ped!

<MARVYANNO> now scribble!

<Sabine> she does the art studio in the kindergarten

<MARVYANNO> (or you can do dots)

<Sabine> dots sound good

<Sheryl_Pow> dots?

<MARVYANNO> kinda like that french impressionist that did his pictures all in little dots who's name starts with an S but I can't spell it.

<Sabine> pointilissm.

<MARVYANNO> ends with a t.

<Janet> surrat?

<MARVYANNO> r in the middle, lots of vowels.

<Janet> i can't spell it either

<Sabine> something like that

<Janet> I love his stuff

<Sabine> shall I look it up ?

<Sheryl_Pow> tap, tap, tap kind of dots?

<MARVYANNO> yeah, sabine.

<MARVYANNO> yeah.

<MARVYANNO> you can do that too.

<Sabine> back in a minute

<MARVYANNO> the black one might have started out as dots..

<Sheryl_Pow> wouldn't that take forever?

<MARVYANNO> I did one once that was dots, anyway!

<MARVYANNO> I don't guess it was that one.

<MARVYANNO> well..

<MARVYANNO> they're kinda big dots..

<MARVYANNO> cuz the markers got fat ends.

<MARVYANNO> but yeah, it did take longer than scribbling!

<Sheryl_Pow> it's not like I have anything else to do anyway. So, I would try the dots

<delise> MARVYANNO couldn't you use tombows if you like wanted smaller dots

<gale> How about bouncing the markers?

<Sheryl_Pow> or the LaPlumes

<gale> You know-like you bounced the pencil in school to bug your teacher?

<gale> From the side.

keribou says the baby keribou has awoken from her nap- gotta run- bye!

<Sheryl_Pow> oh, the thump thump thump?

<MARVYANNO> you could, christian!

<cak> I bet the tonal applicator (from Stampscapes) might be useful for this too)

<MARVYANNO> I don't think I have tombows!

<cak> (gotta find *some* use for it)

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<MARVYANNO> I use mine to hold down freezer paper when I'm doin' messy stuff on the counter.

<cak> lol

<MARVYANNO> keep it from rolling back up on me.

<delise> lol

<cak> multi-purpose tool

<MARVYANNO> well.. at least that gives it a purpose..

<Sheryl_Pow> yeah, other than what you actually purchased it for

<MARVYANNO> (it was a gift!)

<MARVYANNO> (a much appreciated but under-utilized one)

<Sheryl_Pow> thats a good thing

<MARVYANNO> the infamous tyra give it to me!

<MARVYANNO> she had spares!

<MARVYANNO> better still, lib!

<MARVYANNO> http://www.dm.net/~anno/tree2.JPG

<MARVYANNO> ack!

<Sheryl_Pow> lol wonder why

<MARVYANNO> ignore that.

<Lib> thanks! :-)

<sparkle> <MARVYANNO> that's a don't example!

<sparkle> <MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<sparkle> <MARVYANNO> there.

<sparkle> <MARVYANNO> it's all right there!

<Janet> I have a totally unrelated question?

<Sheryl_Pow> Tyra would make good use out of those. Me, mine would end up in the drawer of lost items

<MARVYANNO> thank you.

<MARVYANNO> I got lost.

<Pedstamper> Lib, what did you do with the fish? Got rid of it I hope?

<AliciaG> poor anno

MARVYANNO cuts down to one window and one window only.

Lib slaps Pedstamper around a bit with a large trout

Janet finds the rancid salmon from last night

<Janet> I have a trouble.

<Lib> I have 2 metallic marvy markers

<Janet> I need help

<Janet> BAD

<MARVYANNO> uhoh.

<MARVYANNO> what's the trouble?

<Janet> i'm in big trouble

Pedstamper thinks> Damn, she stil has the trout, smelling a lot worse this morning

<gale> Did anyone find the name of that artist?

<Janet> I was gonna glue my leafs down to a polished stone background so i got out my spray adhesive

<cak> because you like this so much Janet?

<Janet> and I oversprayed

<cak> Seurat??

<Janet> and then dripped that stuff on my new pants

<delise> serrat wasnt' it?

<Lib> Oh NO Janet!!!

<gale> Yep-that's it.

<Janet> Seurat! that's how you spell it!

<Pedstamper> take them off and wash them right now

<Janet> And now what do I do???

<MARVYANNO> thank goodness for cak.

<MARVYANNO> un-do

<Pedstamper> maybe that will work

<Sheryl_Pow> Maybe if you hurry and wash them it may come out!

<Janet> well yeah, but water never gets that stuff off my hands

<cak> (I wasn't sure--just French-guessed)

<delise> Janet you're pants arent' white are they I mean it's after labor day <jk>

<Janet> i use turpentine to get it off my hands

<MARVYANNO> anything with citrus or orange oil will get it off your hands..

<Janet> Delise. I wouldn't wear white pants after Labor Day. (horrors!)

<Janet> they're navy

<MARVYANNO> and shampoo will get anything off anything.

Pedstamper thinks> gasp, not white, what a fax paux

<MARVYANNO> so..

<MARVYANNO> try shampoo.

<gale> Just do it right away before it sets.

<Janet> would turpentine eat my new pants?

<Sheryl_Pow> how about kiss off?

<MARVYANNO> shampoo I tell ya.

<Janet> (I got 'em soaking now)

<gale> Probably. Are the all cotton?

<Lib> shampoo won't get the hair off your head

<Pedstamper> I have some Kiss Off in my purse

<Janet> no, mostly cotton with a lil lycra in there

<Pedstamper> let me get it for you

<MARVYANNO> it's workin' pretty effectively on my husband's head, lib..

<Lib> LOL

<Sheryl_Pow> lol

<gale> Don't use turpentine, or anything like that. It might melt the lycra.

<Janet> shampoo ate all the hair off my husband's head

<sparkle> what were you doing wearing pants? that's my wonder

<sparkle> ROFL

<Pedstamper> Janet, did you take your pants off first?

<Janet> I'd gone out to buy lunch.

<MARVYANNO> but.. it will..

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl

<Janet> MY MISTAKE to wear pants!!

<MARVYANNO> shampoo will get paint or ink or marker or pine pitch off your hands..

<sparkle> seriously, take a brush and some shampoo

<MARVYANNO> it oughta get glue outta your pants.

<Sabine> well looked up this dot-painter

<sparkle> and scrub 'em some

<Pedstamper> yes, Sabine?

<Janet> these are my new avenue pants

<Sheryl_Pow> what would you normally stamp in? Nevermind, don't answer

<Sabine> it was Paul Signac

Janet is soooo stressed out

<Lib> Lib cincedes that men have a wierd shampoo gene that makes their hair fall out

<MARVYANNO> that must be a different dot painter.

<Janet> Sheryl, normally I wear... a smile. :)

<Janet> but never pants

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl Janet!

<Pedstamper> <g>

<Janet> I never wear pants in the house

<Janet> (rarely wear underpants in the house either)

<Sabine> could be Anno, didn«t find the mag I wanted (shame on me)

<Janet> and never shoes

<Sheryl_Pow> Wouldn't that be dangerous around the heat tool?

<gale> Hmmm..is that too much information>

<gale> ?

<Pedstamper> I got one of dh t shirts, in case I spill anything, no shoes, of course

<Janet> it is.

<Janet> we call that TMI

<Lib> Janet= nudist wanna be

<Sheryl_Pow> I asked her NOT to answer! lol

<Janet> too late, I was already warmed up answering. LOL

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl!!

<gale> Sabine-it was Seurat.

<Janet> okay. I got these pants in the sink in water. should I use warm water or cold water with the shampoo?

<MARVYANNO> yes.

<gale> Okay-behave.

<Sabine> aah !!

<MARVYANNO> sometimes she doesn't wear underpants in the grocery store either.

<Janet> (and should I use volumizing shampoo or the balance blend?)

<MARVYANNO> but that's not tmi...

<Lib> EEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUU Yuck!

<MARVYANNO> that's hilarious.

<Sheryl_Pow> thats it! I'm closing my eyes from now on!

<Pedstamper> ok, this picture turned out interesting but I don't think I should quit my day job and start doing this full time, couldn't live on it

<Janet> LOL no that's one of my stories when I lost my panties in the grocery store

Sabine is wondering why you«r e talking about pants ( grin)

<Lib> I am NOT going to ask how,,,,

<MARVYANNO> walked right outta 'em.

<Janet> I'm gonna tell it.

<gale> ROFL!

delise thinks i'm learning a whole lot more than I think I wanted

<Janet> LOL

<InkyWings> do you have any samples Anno?? (sorry I'm late)

<cak> Yeah, ped, but if it's your first,they'll just keep getting better. Prepare your resignation letter I say

<Sabine> did you stamp them?

<MARVYANNO> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<MARVYANNO> there ya go, inky!

<Janet> I was minding my own business in the grocery store. Had on a jumper

<delise> http://www.geocities.com/alsoanno/fatmarvies.html

<Lib> Lib covers her eyes with her fingers, preparing to hear the story

<InkyWings> Thanks!

<Janet> was buying produce

<Lib> not buns?

<Lib> SNORT

<MARVYANNO> rofl!

<Sheryl_Pow> lol

<Janet> I'd been sick that season and had lost like 40 pounds (and damned if they didn't find me again) but anyway, I'd lost all this weight

<Pedstamper> thanks!!! I already have taken a LOA from the nursing job, probably will keep the Michael's job for the discopunt

<Sabine> lucky you

<Janet> and was in the produce section and felt my underwear start to slip

<Janet> and I did grab for it but it fell all the way down around my ankles

<delise> oh no....

<Lib> LOL

<Janet> (serves me right for wearing a jumper)

<cak> lol

<Pedstamper> what did you do?

<gale> LOL

<Lib> hid them in the bananas

<MARVYANNO> kept goin'.

<Janet> i looked around, there were people around but nobody had noticed so far

<gale> ROFL!

<Janet> but I knew if I picked 'em up someone would notice

<Sheryl_Pow> I've had half slips do that to me. I walk right out of them and leave them

<Sabine> lucky again

<gale> Jumped out of them and pretend you don't know whose they are.

<Pedstamper> ROFL I knew I never liked bananas

<Janet> so I kicked 'em under the lettuce bin and left

<Lib> LOL

<Sheryl_Pow> roflmbo!!!

<Lib> Can you imagine the janitors face when he found them???

<gale> I'd like to see the cleaning guy's face.

<Janet> me too!!

<delise> lord help the soul who had to straighten up the produce section

<Cheri> bet the produce guy got a surprise !!! LMAO

<magnolia> go back and look they are probably still there

<gale> Okay-I have to ask. How long had you been wearing them?

<Lib> Ray Stevens wrote the streak about Janet! Now you know the rest of the story

Pedstamper thinks> My dog is looking at me like I've lost my mind (as if I ever found it) with my laughing

<Janet> bet they had a staff meeting to discuss appropriate behavior for the night crew

<Pedstamper> roflmbo

<Janet> GALE!!!

<Janet> They were fresh (more or less) that morning!

<Sheryl_Pow> Just had a guy walk past my office and inquire about my mental state!!! rofl!!

<Janet> and this was just after work

<gale> Lucky-or they might have gotten stuck to something. LMAO!

<Janet> but they were old ones

<gale> Eeewwww

<Janet> no holes yet though so they were still good

<Pedstamper> grooosssss Gale

<Janet> ewwww gale!!

Lib slaps gale around a bit with a large trout

<Janet> I"m dyin laughing

<Sheryl_Pow> no longer eating cookie

<Sabine> what a story !

<Janet> that's one of my stories

<Janet> but you know??

<gale> Ouch-that fish smell strangely familiar.

<Pedstamper> Honey what did you learn about stamping in the convention today? Well Janet told us about losing her underwear in the grocery store

<gale> smells

<Sheryl_Pow> and you're sticking to it right Janet? lol

<MARVYANNO> I stepped over a pair of lacy panties in the floor at kroger once, and wondered for a long time how they happened to end up there..

<Janet> someone else (Betsy Ritter to be precise) was in here and had the same thing happen to her!!!

<MARVYANNO> but then janet told me this story..

<MARVYANNO> and I quit wonderin'.

<Janet> LOL

<Lib> ROFL

<MARVYANNO> actually..

<cak> lol

<Janet> At least I lost mine at the grocery store. Betsy lost hers pumping gas!

<MARVYANNO> there were two teenage bagboys tryin' to dispose of the panties in the floor that day..

<Janet> and her daughter was in the car and was dying of embarrassment

<MARVYANNO> armed with broom handles, tryin' to scoop 'em up without touching them..

<Sheryl_Pow> lol

<gale> LOL! I think I'll throw out my jumpers. Can't afford to lose my panties.

<cak> lol

<Janet> ohohoh I can just see the bag boys!!

<gale> Not that they would fall off that easily anyway.

<cak> LOL--(bit ewwwww factor for teenage boys)

<Sheryl_Pow> My hubby gets suspicious whenever I throw away undies

<Janet> mine won't throw away his

<gale> Why?

<Sheryl_Pow> mine either Janet!! lol

<gale> Men hate to throw anything away.

<Janet> and he's always got droopy drawers syndrome (one would think he's a plumber and not a pharmacist)

<MARVYANNO> as long as the fabric is attached to the wasteband at at least one point, they're still good..

<gale> Mine doesn't wear undies though...

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl!!!

<Janet> that's what the pharmacist says

<Pedstamper> Yeah!!!! Michael's just called and asked me to work, more $$$$$$$$$$$ for stamping

<Lib> QUESTION- will the metallic markers work with this class technique?

<MARVYANNO> no.

<gale> Hooray!

<MARVYANNO> well..

<Pedstamper> But I can't go to the other classes, boo

<MARVYANNO> I don't think so, anyway.

<Lib> :-(

<MARVYANNO> but you could use pretty much any watercolor marker..

<MARVYANNO> instead..

<Janet> and TB (that's the 21 year old daughter) begs him to throw away the bad ones, because she can see 'em when she walks behind him

<MARVYANNO> like crayola..

<Sabine> glad you«re asking

<cak> (let's make Lib try it and teach a class on it)

<Sabine> I think I ordered metallics, LOL

<Pedstamper> gotta think of a costume too since it is Halloween

<Lib> I swear- I wanna do all the classes, but I don't have ANYTHING I need, or I have half of it! I HATE being new!!!!!!!!!!

<Janet> says it's embarrassing enough that his underwear shows, it's terrible when it's barely attached at the waistband

Lib slaps cak around a bit with a large trout

<MARVYANNO> well.. there's cool stuff you can do with the metallics too!

<gale> I wish I was new. I wouldn't have bought all the stuff I did.

<Sabine> Lib I feel Like you do

<Sheryl_Pow> my dh is the exact same way

<MARVYANNO> you would too, gale.

<MARVYANNO> when you're new, you buy anything anyone mentions.

<Janet> Libby, just wait until all your convention orders start arriving. It will be like Christmas!

<gale> Probably you're right.

<Sheryl_Pow> yep

<Pedstamper> Sabine and Lib, come one over to my house and I will lend you some of my stuff (leave the fish at home please)

<InkyWings> Yeah, it's probably hard to be new, but focus on ONE or maybe TWO things to start with and buy stuff for those

<InkyWings> then start looking for other things.
