<cak> (uh oh)

<Cheri> (actually cheri does...i'm just logging for her!lol)

<Sue> oh grreat

<annowithtr> you don't have to..

<annowithtr> who wants to be first?

<Sue> store your ink pads in freezer-rainbow pads!

<annowithtr> oh!

<annowithtr> that's a good one!

<gale> I've never heard that one.

<cak> good start!

<kristi-wor> me neither

<C_Lion> in the freezer?

<Sue> that's what I was told-they'd last longer

<Debbie> what's that do

<annowithtr> right side up?

<gale> Do you have to let them thaw to use them?

<Sue> yes

<InkyWings> to long to the freezer from my stamp desk lol

<Sue> yes

<kristi-wor> reduce the bleeding I woudl guess

<annowithtr> ok.. lets see what treat comes out of my pumpkin for sue..

<gale> I'm not that patient. I'd put them in the microwave. lol

<kristi-wor> lol!

<C_Lion> lol

<annowithtr> aha! an UM from justjhone!

<craftychic> does the ink thaw out?

<InkyWings> ROFL

<annowithtr> congrats, sue!

<Sue> thaw them on a towel-in case you have ink on the outside-I have stained counter tops

<Sue> cool

<gale> I doubt that my pads (inkpads) would fit in my freezer right now.

<lory> but where do i put the ice cream

<annowithtr> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/booths.html

<gale> In your mouth.

<Sue> priorities!

<jenmist> how does this work?

<annowithtr> sue, you can get to jhone's booth from there, find her e-mail and tell her you won an UM treat!

<Sue> ok

<Froggie> I have a trick

<kristi-wor> me too!

<annowithtr> ok!

<annowithtr> what trick, froggie?

<gale> I think everyone knows all my tricks. :(

<InkyWings> I mark all my inkpads with their color"name" on the side - so I can easily find the right one!

<Froggie> cheap stamp shelves anyone can make

<kristi-wor> ooo, sounds great!

<kristi-wor> how do we make 'em?

<Debbie> cheap is good

<annowithtr> so.. tell already!

<Froggie> take a side off a wooden crib, take off the hardware and turn it on it's end, Hang on the wall

<Froggie> the wooden slats become stamp shelves

<annowithtr> how cool!

<annowithtr> that's worth a treat!

<gale> I'll kick my kid out of his crib tonight. lol.

<Debbie> dang just threw the last crib away

<craftychic> Mine would be a stamp avalanche

<Froggie> get one at a garage sale

<annowithtr> froggie, your treat is an um treat from second star on the right!!

<kristi-wor> then, take the other side and prop the bottom out from the wall a bit and hang your patent sheets of paper on it

<gale> Ooh-lucky froggie!

<Froggie> cool

<C_Lion> froggie, send a photo of it to Janet

<annowithtr> go to the convention booths page to get there and find her e-mail..

<gale> Okay-me next.

<gale> But probably everyone knows this.

<annowithtr> ok, gale

<annowithtr> 's ok!

<annowithtr> rofl!

<jenmist> I have one too

<gale> If your cling vinyl doesn't stick, use tack it over and over on it.

<Froggie> ok

<keribou> me too

<C_Lion> me too

<annowithtr> cool...

<jenmist> actually if needed I have many

<gale> Most people only use it right on the rubber...

<kristi-wor> I just heard that one this week :-)

<gale> Figures. lol.

<kristi-wor> I have a few too!

<annowithtr> that's a cool trick!

<kristi-wor> oh, gale - it's a good one!

<annowithtr> gale, you win a charms treat from just jhone!

<kristi-wor> lucky gale!

<gale> Yay! charms!

<annowithtr> ok jen?

<gale> Thanks!

<jenmist> when in desperate need of your anti static bag and you cannot find it

<Sue> you can skip the whole cling vinyl thing & just put poster tape right on your acrylic block & use it that way-much easier

<gale> but it would be full of hair in my house.

<jenmist> pour cornstarch on a paper towel, fold up edges and tape shut

<gale> oops-sorry jen

<jenmist> it works too

<Sue> I have to change the tape often 'cause of critter hair!

<kristi-wor> cool jen!

<C_Lion> or a piece of old sheet jenmist

<gale> Great idea! I always lose my bag.

<jenmist> no prob gale

<craftychic> or put talc in a bay's sock

<craftychic> baby's

<MaggieB-af> that works jen

<kristi-wor> mine's in a box somewhere

<Froggie> lol

<kristi-wor> I've got a tip!

<jenmist> I tried used dryer sheets but did not work

<annowithtr> that's a cool trick too!

<gale> How about a big kid sock?

<gale> Dryer sheets don't work for me either.

<jenmist> and when stamping over lumieres you need it badly

<annowithtr> jen, you win a treat from appaloosa!

<kristi-wor> I didn't know that

<Cheri> (hubby's trick - when Cheri says shje wants something, i say "sure, honey, get whatever you want!" LOL

<jenmist> yay

<JonaAFK> I have one

<annowithtr> (I'm not keeping track of these, so y'all remember what you won!)

<craftychic> depends how big your cardstock is gale

<kristi-wor> I have one

<annowithtr> and don't forget to claim them!

<jenmist> rofl - I have hubby like that too

<Froggie> ok

<annowithtr> ok krisit.. go for it.

<jenmist> yes maam

<MaggieB-af> my tip is to add a teeny bit of water to glycerine & use for embossing fluid.... try using it in the stamp wetting bottles they sell in office supply stores

<Janine> have you tried using the Swiffer sheets after you've put Pearl Ex over Versamark?

<Froggie> hey

<kristi-wor> if you have those pallete chalk kits...

<kristi-wor> buy the small pom poms at a craft store and store one in the case for each color

<jenmist> i'm getting dizzy

<MaggieB-af> lol jen

<jenmist> I like that one

<MaggieB-af> isnt it great!

<annowithtr> oh.. how cool!

<Sue> good idea

<gale> maggie-I've heard of using that 1:1. Does it work better with mostly glycerine?

<C_Lion> good idea kristi

<InkyWings> that's good Kristi!

<kristi-wor> then use a tweezer to pick them up and apply the color

<annowithtr> that is good.. thanks, kristi!

<kristi-wor> no more going through q-tips like they are going out of style

<JonaAFK> anno can you do caps please

<MaggieB-af> different people like different amts gale

<C_Lion> I have one anno

<gale> Great idea, kristi. Also, I use tweezers that you have to squeeze to open-it's easier to hold the pom poms

<Froggie> anno doesn't do caps

<C_Lion> when you catch up

<annowithtr> kristi, you win a treat from gg designs!

<annowithtr> oh.

<annowithtr> I do cap my name though.. hang on.

<kristi-wor> yes Gale - I dont' have any yet, but that is very true

<ANNOWITHTR> there!

<kristi-wor> yeah! thank you anno

<ANNOWITHTR> better?

<jenmist> yes

<ANNOWITHTR> c-lion?

<lory> anno too polite to shout

<Froggie> good, very good

<C_Lion> yes

<ANNOWITHTR> what's your trick?

<JonaAFK> much better

<MaggieB-af> gale, not one to one with glycerine/water, only a touch of water

<C_Lion> my favorite thing os a niji water brush

<gale> No wonder mine doesn't work. lol.

<gale> Too much water.

ANNOWITHTREATS needs one of those brushes..

<C_Lion> you can take it and your watercolor pencils in the car

<JonaAFK> I have one

<gale> I have trouble with my waterbrush.

<craftychic> me too

<Froggie> when you want another trick from me, let me know

<gale> too wet

<kristi-wor> that's what I do C_Lion - it's graet!

<MaggieB-af> oh, yes just a touch of water... leave it a little sticky like the versamark pads

<C_Lion> on a plane or anywhere and color

<ANNOWITHTR> that's a good idea too!

<Debbie> How about don't have the ceiling fan on when you're embossing!!!!

<kristi-wor> take with whenever we go the furture in-laws

<ANNOWITHTR> cool!

<C_Lion> also you can put bleach in one

<kristi-wor> lol, debbie!

<Debbie> that's sort of a trick

<ANNOWITHTR> but not in the car.

<ANNOWITHTR> I'll get where I'm going with bleach spots all over me.

<C_Lion> lol

<craftychic> so do my kids

<gale> Plus the fumes will make you loopy

<kristi-wor> bleach in the brushes don't leak and don't smell either

<ANNOWITHTR> c-lion, your treat is a charm treat from just jhone!

<Kriztina> i have one involving water a trick that is

<gale> never mind then. lol

<C_Lion> whay kind of trouble with your water brush?

<ANNOWITHTR> ok kriz, spill your trick

<gale> Mine is too wet.

<C_Lion> ty

<gale> I don't squeeze it either. Maybe I'm too picky. lol

<kristi-wor> that happens when you squeese too much

<keribou> To make the images on your stamped background paper even work it as triangles- so you add a new image to make the 3rd corner on your triangle

<kristi-wor> hmm

<C_Lion> maybe everyone could put the tricks in caps?

<Kriztina> ya know those old run together rainbow ink pads we all have, use them with a wet brush for watercoloring in, some of my best stuff has come from old icky rainbow pads

<ANNOWITHTR> oh...

<gale> Great idea-I have some run-together rainbow pads.

<ANNOWITHTR> now that's a really cool trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> thanks!!

<Debbie> yayayay

<ANNOWITHTR> can I put the whole thing in?

<InkyWings> and it don't hurt the rubber?

<Cheri> stick the whole thing in

<bickers> CLOISONNE THEN STAMP IN METALLIC

<ANNOWITHTR> for a sealing-wax like effect?

<bickers> MAKES GREAT SEALS THAT LOOK LIKE WAX

<ANNOWITHTR> I bet that's pretty!

<ANNOWITHTR> cool!

<C_Lion> I tried it at a show, it is amazing!!!

<kristi-wor> does it get the sticky of versamark off?

<kristi-wor> I will kat

<kristi-wor> I talked to her this morning

<ANNOWITHTR> anyone else got a trick for me?

<InkyWings> Versamark cleans any stamp... lol

<cak> I don't know how useful this one is--but I got one

<ANNOWITHTR> ok cak..

<ANNOWITHTR> what's your trick?

<cak> IF YOU WANT TO COLOR ON ABSORBENT PAPER (LIKE WATERCOLOR), YOU CAN COAT IT WITH...

<cak> 2 PARTS WATER TO 1 PART ACRYLIC GEL MEDIUM

<cak> IT SEALS IT, BUT ACCEPT WATERCOLORS, INK, ETC

<JonaAFK> or hairspray

<ANNOWITHTR> cool.. so it won't bleed?

<C_Lion> or matte fixative

<cak> exactly

<kristi-wor> inky - I can't get the sticky residue off of the stamps though - they are all tacky

<ANNOWITHTR> cool! that's a good tip!

<^raVen^> good CAK!

<cak> but this isn't a spray and fairly stable

<KellyO> oh I have on..altho maybe anno did this in her fat marvy class?

<^raVen^> it's good for hand made paper

<InkyWings> Kristi - won't it come of with water?

<ANNOWITHTR> cak, your treat is an UM treat from ma vinci!

<kristi-wor> no, it's still sticky

<^raVen^> Hairspray doesn't work well and yellows

<ANNOWITHTR> ok kelly.. what's your trick?

<InkyWings> I just use a towel to clean my stamps if I used something else then pigments...

<cak> Yay! thank you

<KellyO> in a plastic paint tray

<ANNOWITHTR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/booths.html

<KellyO> scribble a different color of marker in each of the wells

<kristi-wor> hmmm, I use baby wipes - out of desperation tried goo gone on a hand carved one - still sticks to the table

<ANNOWITHTR> to find most of the vendors to claim your treats

<KellyO> and then mix some iridescent acrylic medium into each well

<KellyO> and you have your own homemade iridescent colored acrylics

<jenmist> oooh

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.. cool, kelly!

<scout> re cleaning stamps> in emergency, have used my pants leg!

<kat-witchy> i have one

<ANNOWITHTR> and no.. I didn't do that in my fat marvy class!

<ANNOWITHTR> cool!

<ANNOWITHTR> let me get kelly's treat..

<InkyWings> That's great Kelly - I use to do that too with my Marvys!

<jenmist> rofl scout

<jenmist> I have one too

<kat-witchy> a swiffer sheet is great to pick up glitter, ep and other debris from stamping

<ANNOWITHTR> kelly, your treat is a wire treat from weebedazzled! sort of a coals to newcastle treat, that..

<kristi-wor> yes, kat!

<ANNOWITHTR> swiffers on my stamp table now?

<ANNOWITHTR> ok!

<kat-witchy> was that one up already

<ANNOWITHTR> I don't know.. rofl!

<ANNOWITHTR> I'm only paying attention to one person at a time!

<kristi-wor> no, kat - I just shared it on a list this week though

<kat-witchy> i missed it kristi

<Sheryl_Pow> Hello

<kristi-wor> had an EP shipment with a lot of loose EP so the jars were full of glitter and EP - used a swiffer and shared the tip, lol!

<InkyWings> Kat - the swiffer trick is yours!

<cak> lol

<InkyWings> Anno - dig for a treat for Kat!!

<kat-witchy> lol

<jenmist> a used oatmeal container is great for marker storage and a raisin one is good for gel pens

<ANNOWITHTR> ok kat, your treat is 1 small tag pack from stamp diva (you'll have to go to the mall to find her e-mail)

<jenmist> you can paint and decorate if you want

<jenmist> if you stamp you need to lay container over inked stamp and apply pressure from inside the container

<gale> I just saw this in a magazine:

<kristi-wor> I guess that means we need to start making oatmeal raisin cookies, huh jen??

<jenmist> yup

<Mike_3486> works for me

<scout> I use washed out Kraft parmean cheese containers. Fit most markers and you can see thru to see the colors

<jenmist> I love my pen container

<gale> Take one of those plastic boxes you put ice in and fill it halfway with beans (dried ones)

<gale> Put your pens in there when you're working-they stay upright and it's easy to stick them in there.

<jenmist> Janet!!!

<betsyCOoki> box for ice???

<kat-witchy> hi janet

<JanetNdisg> hi! happy birthday!

<kat-witchy> thanks janet

<ANNOWITHTR> anyone else have a trick for a treat? (one treat per, at least for the time being) (as many tricks as you want though!)

<Cheri> I use a tennis ball container for my watercolor pencils

<gale> One of those boxes you empty your ice cube trays into. (we're living in the dark ages-no icemaker here)

<kristi-wor> oic, gale!

<JanetNdisg> LOL

<kristi-wor> great idea!

<JanetNdisg> I have a trick!

<gale> It was in a scrapbook mag.

<ANNOWITHTR> ok notjanet, what's your trick?

<JonaAFK> Janet cak made me a classpage it is http://www.dm.net/~cak/panembossing

<scout> With the Parmesean cheese containers, you can even tie three together, still can see colors, makes more stable.

<JanetNdisg> I use an ice cube tray to mix paints. Also to mix liquid sculpy

<jenmist> don't wear pants when working with spray glue - right Janet?

<betsyCOoki> zag cases for your ink pads is that a trick

<JonaAFK> as me

<betsyCOoki> or an acquisition thing

<JanetNdisg> no kidding! this only came out about 20 percent, I'm still scrubbing on it and washing them now for the third time

<betsyCOoki> they ahve a handle

<InkyWings> ohh, how great Janet!! Never thought about using those!!

<JonaAFK> the best on is from tupperware cause you can really shut it

<MaggieB-ma> i got one anno..... when your shoes stick to the dance floor cover the soles in duct tape! HAHAHA TRICK!!!!

<ANNOWITHTR> janet, was one of those your real trick?

<ANNOWITHTR> the spray glue or the ice tray?

<jenmist> rofl

<JanetNdisg> I have lots of tricks!

<JanetNdisg> I brought my toilet paper in here, too.

<ANNOWITHTR> you want a treat?

<kristi-wor> betsy - love my ZAG boxes!!

<kat-witchy> sounds like the spray glue was a real trick

<gale> I put my glitter in a tupperware freezer container.

<ANNOWITHTR> ok.. lemme fine you a treat.

<gale> My plain glitter-not the colored

<^raVen^> oh... here's one sorta that I never thought of as a trick... just a cheapo solution...

<kristi-wor> but now I *need* to fill them, lol!

<JanetNdisg> never spray glue stuff with new pants on

<betsyCOoki> how bout go on digest or no mail of you are going on vacation for the weekend

^raVen^ is cheap

<betsyCOoki> oh mine is filled

<betsyCOoki> already

<Debbie> cheap is a good thing

<JanetNdisg> I like that one, Betsy :)

<betsyCOoki> all teh brilliance and all the ancient page fit

<kristi-wor> I got one for pigment and one for dye

<kristi-wor> havent quit gotten all the billance yet :-)

<kristi-wor> but am working on it, lol!

<betsyCOoki> i am wroking on the reinkers now

<ANNOWITHTR> janet, your treat is copper intaglios from mavinci!

<Kriztina> for the uninformed whats a zag box?

<cak> cool

<jenmist> lucky you Janet

<Keribou2> I have on eAnno

<JanetNdisg> so I go to the Ma Vinci booth and find her email and write her to tell me send 'em?

<ANNOWITHTR> ok keribou, what's your trick?

<kristi-wor> it's a tool box thing marked "Work Force" grey and yellow - i nthe power tools area of Home Depot

<^raVen^> instead of paying $$ for those inkpad grabbers... take a few small blocks of scrap wood... paint one end with a couple coats of "stick-again" glue... and use them on the backs of the ink pads

<ANNOWITHTR> yep!

<Cheri> I use a cassette case for my ink pads

<Kriztina> do they hold those new fangled thick colorbox pads, the black tones and white toned ones? those are thick

<jenmist> good idea

<betsyCOoki> (or use your baby halo

<ANNOWITHTR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/booths.html

<betsyCOoki> oh i have those in petal points

<betsyCOoki> so havent tried

<^raVen^> when you ain't using them stick them on the wall over the table :-)

<betsyCOoki> you just wouldnt be able to get three or four in the hole

<betsyCOoki> maybe only two

<Cheri> no, they are too thick

<Kriztina> gotcha thanks betsy

<ANNOWITHTR> keri?

<betsyCOoki> four ancient page squish ina section or three brilliance and a littel extra room

<Keribou2> Sometimes when I make stamped background paper the images aren't even- some are too close together or too far apart

<gale> Here's one

<gale> Once I tried to print something and emboss it, but I was too slow. I went over the words with my versamark pen and embossed in clear.

<Keribou2> So to mkar it even stamp 3 images in a triangle then from there keep adding 1 stamped image to finish a triangle

<C_LionISaD> have to go back to bed all, thanks anno for the fun

<JanetNdisg> Hi, Sheryl!

<scout> Yeh, whenever I spread them out, I always manage to put something else down on top of them. Brain impaired you know

<kristi-wor> lol!

<JanetNdisg> that's when Betsy suggested the slinky

<betsyCOoki> started recording dinner conversation after we opened the second bottle of wine

<^raVen^> Did you get my ink pad blocks one, Anno?

<scout> That was supposed to be Yaaaaaay

<kristi-wor> I hope we don't miss too many by not getting home until almost 6

<^raVen^> okay... it was CHEAPO "pad Grabbers".... I glue up wood blocks with "stick-again" glue and use those for pad grabbers

<ANNOWITHTR> your treat is a charms treat from just jhone!

<^raVen^> BIG YAY!

<scout> check Pic n Save or 99c stores---- for extra thick pencils or 1/2 inch kids blocks sets, cut apart pencils - just about the right size for mounting ALPHABET sets on.

<ANNOWITHTR> (boy, those are comin' up a lot.. she gave me um treats too, but I haven't fished one of those out yet)

<InkyWings> you're taking the treats from the same spot Anno.... lol

<JanetNdisg> Raven's been charmed!!

<ANNOWITHTR> oh!

<ANNOWITHTR> my turn.

<ANNOWITHTR> if you want wood to mount your stamps on...

<kristi-wor> one of the first ones was an UM treat from jhone

<ANNOWITHTR> this is a shopping tip, for gale.

<ANNOWITHTR> if you want wood,

<Sheryl_Pow> What do we do?

<ANNOWITHTR> we don't have any wood vendors, do we?

<gale> Who wants my kids??

<ANNOWITHTR> go to childcraft.com..

<ANNOWITHTR> in the block play section...

<gale> They're driving me out of my mind

<Amyinherdo> brb

<JanetNdisg> trade ya for my husband, gale

<ANNOWITHTR> they have tubs of blocks.. 17 lbs, for 7.99 (ench says they're on sale for 6.00, but I didn't check)

<kat-witchy> or you go to your husbands workshop and beg or neg (whichever works better)

<Sheryl_Pow> Wait until they get grown gale. It gets worse

<ANNOWITHTR> and shipping is cheap (for 17lbs).. 5.95 or so..

<gale> Nahh-forget it. Men are more trouble. rofl!

<InkyWings> that's great anno!

<ANNOWITHTR> lots of blocks, in a handy tub!

<JanetNdisg> (kids you can tell to go play elsewhere and they don't get all pouty)

<ANNOWITHTR> maple!

<ANNOWITHTR> good blocks!

<ANNOWITHTR> ok.

<kristi-wor> neato

<gale> True, Janet!

<ANNOWITHTR> (ok.. my treat is an evo treat)

<betsyCOoki> i ditn get my TREAT

<yamamama> k

<Sheryl_Pow> Ok. If you can't find your little anti static bag, use a coffee filter to remove static. Is that a trick?

<ANNOWITHTR> I didn't see your trick, betsy!

<jenmist> is that you Betsy?

<JanetNdisg> get in line after Sheryl, Betsy and she'll give ya a treat

<ANNOWITHTR> that's a good trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> used, or fresh?

<Sheryl_Pow> fresh! lol

<ANNOWITHTR> rofl!

<JanetNdisg> Sheryl, that's a great trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> just checking!

<Sheryl_Pow> lol

<JanetNdisg> then after I use it stamping I can make coffee with it

<^raVen^> Oh cool! I like that one

<kat-witchy> used would make great antique paper if wet

<JanetNdisg> I've made books with 'em too.

<ANNOWITHTR> sheryl, your treat is an um treat from 2nd star on the right!

<Sheryl_Pow> yep Janet! Recycle! lol

<betsyCOoki> they jsut STAND there they dont say trick or treat

<ANNOWITHTR> woohoo!

<scout> anno, did you see my trick about cutting thick pencils apart and using for alphabet set mounting?

<betsyCOoki> hmmph

<betsyCOoki> i siad

<yamamama> unless you want a antique look to your paper then use the used ones

<Sheryl_Pow> kewl Anno! Thanks!

<ANNOWITHTR> (I just ordered a pile from there yesterday)

<betsyCOoki> zag cases

<betsyCOoki> or go no mail on the lis

<ANNOWITHTR> ok.. yama?

<kristi-wor> Going through too much silver and golf Lumieres?

<betsyCOoki> or slinky if you are out of chandeliers

yamamama has 2 lengths of chain and a few dowels,, harpoon your ribbons on the dowel and hang them between the 2 lengeths of chain on teh backside of a door

<betsyCOoki> a coffee filter

<betsyCOoki> wont a dryer sheet work too

<yamamama> easy access and it is space you usually don't use

<JanetNdisg> good plan, yama!

<ANNOWITHTR> cool... that sounds easy, yama!

<ANNOWITHTR> thanks for the trick!

<betsyCOoki> oh

<kristi-wor> Home Depot has large jars ~3X the size of the lumieres for $12 in silver, gold, copper and some pastel metallics - works for most techniques except fabric

<jenmist> dryer sheet does not work in my trials

<ANNOWITHTR> your treat, yama, is an um treat from stampsmith!!

<ANNOWITHTR> hadn't seen one of those yet!

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo yama!

<jenmist> oooh

<ANNOWITHTR> woohoo!

<jenmist> very good treats

<ANNOWITHTR> ok betsy..

<yamamama> wow!!!

<ANNOWITHTR> what was your trick?

<jenmist> rofl

<scout> alright. so it's not a glistening chandelier, it just has 5 globes of white glass on extended arms,,,,,rather 70's looking. but I can still drop those cards from each arm.

<betsyCOoki> oh paint pad glued on to the baby wipes and you can be clean and neat at same time

<yamamama> ophilia here I come!!!

<Cheri> no dryer sheet doesn't work as well but it does work for glitter and beads in plastic trays

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.. on the lid?

<ANNOWITHTR> cool!

<ANNOWITHTR> clean and neat would be an improvement for anno..

<ANNOWITHTR> that's a good trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> your treat is a treat from appaloosa!!

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo Betsy!

<ANNOWITHTR> and now, it's intermission.

<ANNOWITHTR> I gotta go light my pumpkin.

<ANNOWITHTR> brb.

<^raVen^> WHEW!!! I need tea....

<jenmist> time to get another beer

<Cheri> I double stick tape mine to the lid, so I can take it off and clean it when too dirty

JanetNdisguise drapes the room with TP while anno is gone

<gale> If I get booted off, I'll brb. I'm having connection trouble.

<Sheryl_Pow> attach baby wipes to your inkpad lids?

<Cheri> cobwebs are messier Janet

<JanetNdisg> attach a paint pad to your babywipe lid

<JanetNdisg> this is true, but afterwards we can make paper castings outta the toilet paper

<Sheryl_Pow> Oh ok. DUH

<Sheryl_Pow> I attached a paint pad to the inside of an empty small babywipe container.

<JanetNdisg> I put stamps in the empty ones. the theory is to carry them to the sink to wash

<JanetNdisg> the practice is to just have stacks of baby wipe containers with dirty stamps in them

<kat-witchy> so janet, how many do you have full

<JanetNdisg> sitting everywhere

<Sheryl_Pow> lol We all have our little secrets.

<JanetNdisg> right now I can see six of 'em. I think there's a few more in the dining room

<kat-witchy> good plan

<kat-witchy> lol

<InkyWings> don't you miss the stamps?? ;)

<^raVen^> can we make cob-web castings too?

<gale-reall> #^$^%#^$&$^%

<JanetNdisg> well when I do, I dig through the baby wipe containers to find the one I'm looking for

<gale-reall> Had to pick a new name. lol

<JanetNdisg> and I discover way cool stamps I forgot I owned

^raVen^ is looking for a good reason to bother sweeping the webs out of the corners

<gale-reall> Did I miss anything?

<jenmist> lol

<InkyWings> Raven! You can catch those webs on a paper and emboss them!!

<Sheryl_Pow> At my house cobwebs are decorations.

<cak> I'm lazy and just put a paper towel in the bottom of a m'wave plate, add water and dump my stamps on it til I'm ready to clean up (well, when I *have* to clean up)

<JanetNdisg> just me admitting what a slovenly stamper I am

<InkyWings> it's WAY COOL!

<ANNOWITHTR> ok.

<ANNOWITHTR> I'm back.

<JanetNdisg> cak, did your stamps ever mold?

<Cheri> raven stick a piece of paper behind them and then spray something or spritz to get a neat background

<kat-witchy> For us older stampers old habbits are hard to break

<JanetNdisg> (I've molded stamps before)

<ANNOWITHTR> one of mine grew hair!

<ANNOWITHTR> another trick!

InkyWings has cleaned the place from cob webs and embossed them

<^raVen^> Inky... I do take web prints of the nice orb webs out doors

<ANNOWITHTR> do NOT leave your stamps sitting in the wipe box for months.

<betsyCOoki> oh my versamark molded

<cak> LOL! No, I really do dry 'em off after the stamping session

<ANNOWITHTR> (they grow fur)

<betsyCOoki> now eveyr body knows it is mine and doesnt take ti by accident

<betsyCOoki> still works

<Sheryl_Pow> lol

<cak> (chiastamp?)

<JanetNdisg> LOL

<ANNOWITHTR> yeah.

<ANNOWITHTR> it's pretty nasty.

<kat-witchy> my versamark has little spots all over it

<Sheryl_Pow> thought cak said "after stamping season" lol

<JanetNdisg> mine has cat hair

<ANNOWITHTR> anyone else who hasn't got a treat yet got a trick for me?

<JanetNdisg> all my pads have cat hair

<cak> LOL with me, it *could* be the same

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl

<Cheri> does some one have a trick to pass me?

<JanetNdisg> I'll sneak ya a trick, Cheri

<ANNOWITHTR> didnt you have a trick already, cheri?

<JanetNdisg> since you sent me money (that I already spent)

<gale-reall> ARGH! I tried to send an e-mail for my prize and it won't send. $^%$&

<ANNOWITHTR> I thought you did!

<Cheri> what hubby

<ANNOWITHTR> hmm.

<gale-reall> Guess I'll use my work e-mail. lol.

<betsyCOoki> uhoh

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.

<ANNOWITHTR> janine? you there?

<ANNOWITHTR> I bet you got a trick..

<scout> never thought I'd be out doing tricks on Halloween...should be like Sunday....Never On Sunday.

<Janine> yes anno

<ANNOWITHTR> sally?

<ANNOWITHTR> you got a trick for me?

<cak> (bring an empty suitcase when you travel?)

<ANNOWITHTR> I got a treat for you!

<kat-witchy> thats a great hint cak

<kat-witchy> you can fill it with all the stamp stuff you buy

<ANNOWITHTR> jin? you got a trick for me?

<scout> Although the money would come in handy for rubber stamps. tee,hee

<JanetNdisg> I do that! (but I usually fill it with chocolate)

<cak> (I think that's what Janine did, didn't she?)

<cak> (wrong Janine?)

<Janine> I always travel with chocolate

<jin> i do actually....i think :P

<ANNOWITHTR> oh good!

<ANNOWITHTR> I got a treat for you!

<Sheryl_Pow> I bring an empty suitcase when I attend conventions

<MomCat> Thanks for a great time, anno.

<Janine> for who?

<JanetNdisg> I ate some of Janine's chocolates from her last trip

<Cheri> I have a trick

<kristi-wor> anyone have food to share? I don't get to go home for another 2 hours and I'm starving...

<ANNOWITHTR> you're welcome, diane!

<JanetNdisg> Cheri has a trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> I'm waitin' for jin's now!

JanetNdisguise passes kristi some goldfish

<kristi-wor> goldfish???

<betsyCOoki> yes we ahve chieken and veggies and biscuit topping

<Sheryl_Pow> live ones

<kristi-wor> like the crakers???

<kristi-wor> ty!

<JanetNdisg> no, crackers. pizza flavored goldfish

<jin> Big Important trick> train your dh so that he'll not throw away anything before my approval

<kat-witchy> dh is making my dinner for my bday

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.

<cak> lol

<jin> or for that matter...your approval

<ANNOWITHTR> that is an important trick!!

<jin> lol

<kristi-wor> ok - just not the real ones that are int he fishbowl! lol!

<JanetNdisg> Oh good trick, Jin!! (tell me how to do it, though)

<Sue> I agree!

<ANNOWITHTR> good job!

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo, intaglios!

<kristi-wor> hmm, DF won't throw anything away and I find it in my studio!

<jin> thank you!

<ANNOWITHTR> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/booths.html

<kristi-wor> drives me nuts!

<ANNOWITHTR> you can find your way to her from there!

<ANNOWITHTR> ok cheri.. what's that trick?

<Cheri> if you want to emboss stamps that you color on with marvys but that dries too fast to emboss, tap the stamp in embossing ink first, then color it with marvys then you can emboss it

<Sue> cool

<ANNOWITHTR> oh!

<kristi-wor> ooo, that's a graet one

<ANNOWITHTR> what an excellent trick! (I suck at huffing)

<ANNOWITHTR> (an interesting mental picture, that..)

<JanetNdisg> there's a mental image. a nice Mister from the body shop

<betsyCOoki> oh i made a LIFE MASK TODAY

<ANNOWITHTR> stirfry!!

<betsyCOoki> vaselined my face

<Sheryl_Pow> rofl Debbie

<betsyCOoki> wrapped in gauxe

<betsyCOoki> is lovely now

<cak> lol (If only...)

<ANNOWITHTR> well.

<ANNOWITHTR> that was a good trick, get a mister at body shop...

<betsyCOoki> like a fine facial

<ANNOWITHTR> let me find a treat for janine.

<^raVen^> Oh! A life mask! cool!

<Janine> lol Anno

<Debbie> what body shop

<ANNOWITHTR> janine, your treat is an UM treat from mavinci!

<Janine> The Body Shop

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo Janine!!

<Janine> ohh thank you Anno....

<ANNOWITHTR> (folks, most of these treats are vendor's choice... if they mean to let you pick, they'll let you know but when ya claim 'em, just assume they're deciding!)

<Cheri> they carry Mr's?

<scout> The body shop in San Diego is out by the Naval/Marine base. Guess what it is?

<ANNOWITHTR> anybody else got a trick that doesn't have a treat?

<Sheryl_Pow> ok Anno

<ANNOWITHTR> (if not, mebbe we'll start over...)

<Sue> I've got another one

<JanetNdisg> it's probably a tattoo parlor. I wish it was a place I could go pick me up a randy sailor, though

<ANNOWITHTR> ok sue, go for it.

<Debbie> ooooh Janet!!

<kat-witchy> i have another too

<ANNOWITHTR> you were first, so you're a good place to start over!

<scout> It's a strip joint.

<Janine> lol

<Sheryl_Pow> male strippers?

<betsyCOoki> janet!!

<JanetNdisg> strip joint?? I could go pick me out a nekkid randy sailor?

<Sue> Store papers in an accordion file-stay unwrinkled & you can always find them

<cak> (no such luck, I bet)

<JanetNdisg> oh good plan, Sue!!

<ANNOWITHTR> I used to do that!

<scout> No. or maybe I would have visited it by now after living here for 40 years.

<ANNOWITHTR> (til my file blew up)

<JanetNdisg> (I keep my wire stock in an accordian file, it's easy to find that way)

<ANNOWITHTR> that is a good tip!

<Janine> I made a holder for my ink pads using a wire casette holder from IKEA

<scout> Oh, anno, I thought you meant you used to be in a body shop.

<Sue> my cat sleeps on them otherwise!

<ANNOWITHTR> me?

<ANNOWITHTR> rofl!

<ANNOWITHTR> I could stand a trip to a newbody shop..

<ANNOWITHTR> sue, your new treat is an UM treat from anima designs!

<ANNOWITHTR> woohoo! (I want that treat!)

<JanetNdisg> when it was just my personal wire supply I hung it on a dowel rod and I'd just finger it to decide which piece I wanted. Now that I have to know which coil is what size, I keep it in an accordian file)

<scout> So could I. One with new lungs, legs, back....

<Sue> cool-thanks

<JanetNdisg> wow Sue. I love those!

<ANNOWITHTR> robin!!

<JanetNdisg> Robin!!

<ANNOWITHTR> you got a trick for me?

<kat-witchy> don't throw away your old phone books. use them to glue on. you can tear a page out after gluing so you don't get glue on the next piece

<MaVinci> HI GUYS!! I found you!

<kristi-wor> hi robin!!!!!

<jin> Hello Robin! :)

<JanetNdisg> good idea, Kat!

<ANNOWITHTR> that's a good trick too, kat!

<Sheryl_Pow> oops

<betsyCOoki> right

<MaVinci> Yama, did that work?? LOL

<scout> keep a couple of old phone books out in the patio...when you find neat leaves to dry for your cards, stick the leaves in the phone books. instant supply when you make that fancy card

yamamama sits next to robin and says,, how the heck are you ?/ haven't seen you in ages

<betsyCOoki> and save your scraps of your PLANNED cards to make your sereendipity

<JanetNdisg> LOL I do have a box of failures for collage type cards

<betsyCOoki> was lovely with washi paper scraps

<yamamama> hey J9

<Debbie> the trick is SAVE EVERYTHING!!!

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.. scout, that's a great trick!

<cak> (my stash is paste paper)

<JanetNdisg> Oh! Let me look, LInda.

<JanetNdisg> or I'll just tell it to you again, is easy

<Ravenc[_]> Oh coool Betsy!

jin goes to the Japanese supermarket and buy japanese tid bits. Save the packaging for the cool asian labels that you can use on your collage

<Cheri> I make paper reinformcements with a 1/4" circle punch and a 1/2'" circle punch and you can coordinate

<Cheri> the color with what ever you are working on.

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.. that's cool tip too!

<jenmist> I have a paper saving tip

<Cheri> I also use shipping tags with the small post its and make little note pads for purse

<cak> oooo, good for scrapbookinng

<ANNOWITHTR> and if you run your paper through the xyron first, you can have self-stick ones!

<Cheri> or is you want smaller use a 1/4" and an 1/8"

<ANNOWITHTR> cheri, your treat is a jar of powdered pearls from quintessentials!

<jenmist> when you are layering youy can cut out the insides of the lower layers and have a hunk of paper to reuse

<ANNOWITHTR> hey crazy8

jin has gone out to open the mailbox. She will be right back.

<scout> I thought the reason mummies didn't go on vacation was because they're too wound up in their work.

<crazy8> HI ALL

<jenmist> this is a really good tip for scrapbookers too

<Sheryl_Pow> To make double stick tape, run tissue paper through the xyron and flip it over and run it through again and cut into strips. Got that from Gayle

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.. that's a good trick too, jen

<jenmist> saves you when you are short on a certain color

<Ravenc[_]> That's why they are such good employees

<kat-witchy> evil is lurking in anno's neighborhood

<JanetNdisg> Sparkle!

<Lib> what is a clink it?

<AliciaG> clinkits are embossable glass pieces

<ANNOWITHTR> alicia sells 'em!

<Lib> oh, ok

<ANNOWITHTR> (she's at the convention, check it out!)

<lory> take colored sand and mix with a bottle of cheap elmers...then take clink it bits and you have mosaics and grout

<JanetNdisg> (lib, go look at the Alicia G creative booth)

<AliciaG> so you get that cutex gel nail polish remover, and squirt it on and let it sit for a little while

<JanetNdisg> oooo Lory. I gotta do that now

<Lib> OH!!!! I remember clinkits! Saw them during class the other night!!!

<lory> oh sorry alicia

<AliciaG> and use an old kitchen scrubby sponge to clean it off!

<ANNOWITHTR> cool

<ANNOWITHTR> do-overs!

<Lib> huh!

<AliciaG> the nail polish remover dissolves the embossing powder

<MaggieB> it will come off????

<MaggieB> NOW she tells me!

<MaggieB> lol

<AliciaG> sure with a little elbow grease

<kat-witchy> that's cool alica

<AliciaG> or, do as lory said

<AliciaG> =)

<JanetNdisg> that'sbetter living through chemicals!

<ANNOWITHTR> alicia, you get a treat from appaloosa!

<AliciaG> woo

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo Alicia!

<ANNOWITHTR> and lory?

<ANNOWITHTR> I dunno! claim and and you'll find out!

<AliciaG> kewl

<AliciaG> was that a good enough trick?

<MaggieB> ooooo, elmer made kat dinner.....

<ANNOWITHTR> lory, you win a treat from ggdesigns!

<JanetNdisg> I wanna hear it, Lib

<scout> Scout just thought of another???

<JanetNdisg> woo Lory!

<ANNOWITHTR> it was a great trick!

<Char> Whoops....real world tricksters at my door....early!!!! Messing up my cyber visit....Back in a minute.

<JanetNdisg> Lib and Scout have tricks!

<Lib> Let Scout go first

<Sheryl_Pow> Gotta do a disappearing trick and finish dinner! Thanks Anno and thanks ya'll for the tips!

<lory> who is the newbiest stamper here?

<ANNOWITHTR> welcome.. thanks for coming!

<ANNOWITHTR> I gotta declare another intermission for a sec..

<Lib> I have been stamping 1 month

<JanetNdisg> i'm gonna guess lib

<lory> ok lib, email gg and apaloosa and tell em you get lorys treats

<scout> Take those old Tulip, etc paints out of the garage sale pile and use em on cards. Makes good dimensionsal effect and we can always use the sparkles from the sparkly ones.

<Lib> oh, gosh! My mouse won't work- really hard to email, I will try!!! thank you SO much!!!!

<JanetNdisg> Oh wait, Lory, I'm mistaken. It's JANET who is the newbieest

<lory> nice try

<AliciaG> so I am to email aas for my trick?

<cak> (yeah, yeah, yeah)

<JanetNdisg> LOL

<AliciaG> er, treat

<JanetNdisg> yes, Alicia

<AliciaG> okie dokie

<JanetNdisg> good trick, Scout!

<lory> its my one nice thing for today, lol

<cak> The puffy paing double for Liquid Applique too (apparently)

<JanetNdisg> I have those tulip paints and I forgot why I bought them

<cak> (paing = paint)

<JanetNdisg> Oh! I have another trick!

<JanetNdisg> This is an easy one.

<JanetNdisg> Stamp something with dye ink.

<JanetNdisg> don't emboss it or anything

<JanetNdisg> Then get a paint brush and a glass of water

<JanetNdisg> and run the wet brush right along where you stamped

<scout> They last longer if you keep them in the frig. My hubbie wants to know why he keeps running the refrig in garage to keep old paints solvent?

<JanetNdisg> not dripping wet, just dampish

<JanetNdisg> the ink will run a bit and the whole thing will look watercolored

<ANNOWITHTR> ok!

<cak> ooooo, I love that look

<ANNOWITHTR> I'm back, for half hour or so!

<AliciaG> heh

<ANNOWITHTR> (then I have to start dinner)

<JanetNdisg> works good if you color on your stamp with marvey markers too

<ANNOWITHTR> so.

<ANNOWITHTR> what'd I miss?

<ANNOWITHTR> do I owe anyone treats?

<JanetNdisg> you missed my trick but I already got my treat

<JanetNdisg> that was a freebie trick

<scout> Scout

<cak> scout, Janet,

<JanetNdisg> oh yes! you missed scout!

<JanetNdisg> and old tulip paints, you can use 'em to add dimension to stuff

<JanetNdisg> (I wrote that one down)

<AliciaG> I think I have another trick

<ANNOWITHTR> cool..

<ANNOWITHTR> so I need to find a treat for scout?

<JanetNdisg> you do

<ANNOWITHTR> aha!

<ANNOWITHTR> scout, you win an UM treat from just jhone!

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo Scout!

<ANNOWITHTR> I knew there were some of those in there.. woohoo!

<AliciaG> can I go again?

<scout> ooooooh, good, woohoo and all....ty

<cak> LOL

<ANNOWITHTR> so spill your trick already.

<Lib> I LOVE you guys!

<scout> tsk, tsk

<AliciaG> you know how sometimes that thin gauge wire gets all messed up when you try to use it

<RubberKin> Night all take care :)

<AliciaG> that thin 24 or 26 gauge wire

<ANNOWITHTR> yes...

<AliciaG> you can cut it into 4 or 5" segments and run it through one of those paper crimpers

<lory> i have a question for janet too bout wire related stuff

<ANNOWITHTR> and make witch hair!

<AliciaG> and it makes it all zig zaggy and then you can reuse it for paper doll hair

<jin> eh anno...thank you for the treats...dh's home and i gotta go

<AliciaG> use it for cards

<JanetNdisg> I have answers!

<Lib> cool!

<ANNOWITHTR> you're welcome, jin, thank you for the tricks!

<cak> cooll

<jin> thanks everyone

<AliciaG> just don't use the thick wire, or you will ding your paper crimper

<jin> happy halloween

<JanetNdisg> take care, Jin. Thanks for the tricks!

<lory> what hammer do i need for making the wire hard

<cak> Night Jin

<Lib> bye jin

<lory> i dunno the technical term

<ANNOWITHTR> alicia, you win a treat from evo this time!

<AliciaG> woo!

<AliciaG> I think I like this game

<ANNOWITHTR> yeah, I like it too!

<MaggieB> i just traded for the neatest paper crimper, all wooden! the whole thing

<JanetNdisg> Lory, use either a rawhide mallet or a rubber mallet or well something that won't mar the wire

<Lib> Groovy!!!

<MaggieB> dates from the mid 90's

<JanetNdisg> I have one of those!!

<MaggieB> you do?

<JanetNdisg> the corrugator or something like that

<JanetNdisg> yes, got it in '94

<MaggieB> why doesnt that suprise me?

<JanetNdisg> it's way cool

<Lib> don't let me forget this other trick

<AliciaG> cool

<JanetNdisg> (the surprise will be if I could find it right now)

<ANNOWITHTR> you have another trick, lib?

<ANNOWITHTR> spill it!

<cak> Out with it Lib!

<Lib> I gotta try some of that wire!!

<lory> ok, you still got jasper beads left too?

<Lib> stamp your face stamp or tree stamp onto fabric- heat set. Then back with fusible webbing, and iron it onto other fabric that you have painted- you could do entire landscapes! stamp the trees and flowers, and do the fusing on the things you want to have a 3D effect- great for towels or curtains or baby crib sheets

<JanetNdisg> (I do, lory)

<lory> i need to order i guess

<Lib> You can iron the fused to paper, too

<JanetNdisg> ooo Lib, that sounds really great

<cak> (and you make a lot less ruined shirts that way too)

<JanetNdisg> I could do a whole wall hanging that way

<ANNOWITHTR> oh!

<Lib> I love fabric!

<ANNOWITHTR> how cool, lib!

<ANNOWITHTR> maggie loves fabric too.

<Lib> Yes- a complete rubber stamped wall hanging!

<Lib> placemats!

<Lib> trim your kitchen curtains!

<Lib> bed sheets

<ANNOWITHTR> cool!

<ANNOWITHTR> that's worth a treat.

<Lib> I HAVE GONE STAMPING CRAZY

<MaggieB> cool janet

<MaggieB> you didnt see it?

<ANNOWITHTR> no.

<scout> Walmart has everything, but I still don't get the trick part.

<JanetNdisg> woo hoo, those are really cool

<ANNOWITHTR> alicia, I gave away all but one of your treats already!

<ANNOWITHTR> so I dunno when I'll find another!

<AliciaG> well give away a few more!

<JanetNdisg> scout, you can line up several different stamps on it and stamp them all at once

<AliciaG> I'll find something to give them!

<Lib> what are aliciag treats?

<ANNOWITHTR> well.. you only gave me 4!

<ANNOWITHTR> alicia was giving 2.50 gc's!

<scout> oh?

<ANNOWITHTR> and I don't remember who got 'em, but inky got one!

<Lib> ooooo!!!!

<AliciaG> well give away some more!

<ANNOWITHTR> oh.

<Cheri> i got one

<Lib> line up stampson what?

<AliciaG> kewl

<ANNOWITHTR> well.. YOU give away a few for a minute or two while I start dinner, how's that?

<Lib> I had to go get another chair for my back, I am lost---

<ANNOWITHTR> then we'll all (including my family) be happy!

<AliciaG> how about janet take over!

<ANNOWITHTR> janet?

<AliciaG> because I"m on pain meds, I don't make much sense

<ANNOWITHTR> yoohoo..

<JanetNdisg> Well, I don't got the pumpkin.

<ANNOWITHTR> janet...

<ANNOWITHTR> rofl!

<ANNOWITHTR> this is the alicia few minutes.

<JanetNdisg> but I'll suck in the tricks. :)

<ANNOWITHTR> just give away alicia stuff while I hot up a skillet and slice some bread and put some soup in a pan.

<JanetNdisg> okay!

<AliciaG> ok, who want's an alicia treat?

JanetNdisguise calls on Janet first

<JanetNdisg> LOL.

<Lib> LOL!

<AliciaG> heh, ok

<JanetNdisg> for alphabet stamps?

<cak> who doesn't?

<scout> (brain impaired Scout) so you use it to line up word stamps for a sentence?

<JanetNdisg> unmounted ones and there's 26 or more pieces to them

<JanetNdisg> and always one or two get lost

<AliciaG> I hate that!

<JanetNdisg> well, before they get lost, put them in a prescription bottle

<AliciaG> good idea!

<JanetNdisg> and keep them in there, and use the bottle as a temporary mout

<JanetNdisg> mount

<scout> or on thick pencils cut into 1" lengths

<AliciaG> now I have to go digging in the trash for all my bottles

<JanetNdisg> I use the halos system, so all the letters have the velcro on them

<JanetNdisg> and I velcroed the top of my pill bottle

<cak> or those mini-m&m containers

<AliciaG> I can see myself using that

<JanetNdisg> so i always have all my letters AND a mount

<Lib> very smart, Janet!

<JanetNdisg> just go to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for an extra one

<JanetNdisg> MOST pharmacists are really nice and will give you a virginal extra bottle

<scout> Gee, Janet, lucky you are healthy or you'd have to rip the labels off the bottles like me.

<AliciaG> virginal haha

<JanetNdisg> and the one that isn't? tell him his wife says to hand it over!!

<Shannon> oh virginal. i saw vaginal.

<cak> lol

<lory> lol shannon

<Lib> LOL

<cak> (both J and S)

<JanetNdisg> Scout, I'm healthy because I'm on a ton of maintenance meds daily

<MaggieB> well.... off to dance class! see you guys for class later tonight... and Janet? Put the coffee on for YOURS and make it STRONG would ya???

Lib slaps Shannon around a bit with a large trout

<scout> Shannon, you made me laugh, so I coughed and now have to go change.....

JanetNdisguise makes a note, make coffee strong like Maggie likes her men.

<MaggieB> lol

<Shannon> lol eewww

<JanetNdisg> (strong and hot)

<cak> lol

<MaggieB> got to stay awake!!

<MaggieB> i love icons

<MaggieB> use them in my work too

<MaggieB> cant wait

<MaggieB> but midnight?

<Lib> Paul McCartney wrote a sone about icons-

<MaggieB> all saints or all souls day?

<scout> old and leaky

<MaggieB> i always forget

<Lib> She loved her biker like an icon

<MaggieB> bye

<cak> have fun maggie

<JanetNdisg> I just counted. nine maintenance meds a day for me

<JanetNdisg> so I generate a LOT of prescription bottles

<JanetNdisg> but the new labels peel off easier than the old ones did

<cak> that's a lot of alphabets!

<Lib> {{{{{{{{{{{{ Lib hugs Janet}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

<Lib> I HATE to take pills

<JanetNdisg> I'm diabetic. with some muscle and joint issues too. and allergies

<Lib> I have to take 5 a day right now, should be more

<JanetNdisg> me too, and I take a handful twice a day

<scout> Got to go, hubbie wants me to go look at cloud formations over the mountains....but it's not gonna rain here and I still have to water.

<Lib> hypothyroid (I don't take the pills though)

<Lib> BiPolar- take zoloft

<cak> sounds lovely scout

<Lib> being stressed out, so some dumb pill 3 times day for nerves

<cak> have fun and take the camera)

<Lib> good for you scout

<Lib> wish we were there

<JanetNdisg> yes, there's no clouds here right now

<scout> I'll be right back anyway...Coughing and sneezing....

<Lib> LOL

<JanetNdisg> yeah and allegra just doesn't work as well as benedryl

<JanetNdisg> but benedryl puts me to sleep

<Lib> benedryl knocks me out cold for about 10 hours

<Lib> even just one pill from over the counter will knock me out for about 5 hours

<Lib> allegra keeps me up

<JanetNdisg> I took the 24 hour benedryl once. slept for four days

<Cheri> I have to go too, need to get Girl Scout done. Thanks for all the great tips.

<Lib> Holy cow!!!

<Lib> by Cheri!

<cak> Bye cheri!

<AliciaG> ok, how about a trick to help me not crash my laptop

<secondstar> I use the childrens liquid beanadyl

<secondstar> half dose works

<Lib> make sure you clear your cache out

<JanetNdisg> alicia, set the laptop square on the desk so it doesn't crash to the floor.

<AliciaG> now if I can remember to use that

<Lib> make sure you empty your temp internet folder in windows

<AliciaG> so who won the aliciag stuff?

<cak> lol--good one (from the woman who's dropped hers 3 times)

<Lib> I don't know- Janet did!!! She sleeps the longest with benedryl

<JanetNdisg> I only dropped mine once.

<JanetNdisg> LOL

<JanetNdisg> (I wanted a new laptop anyway)

<AliciaG> woo janet

<JanetNdisg> yay me!

<Lib> YiPPEE!

<AliciaG> ok, whoelse had a trick

<JanetNdisg> (I'll pick out bitz I bet. I love those bitz)

<Lib> trying to think..............

<cak> um, um, be sure to go to the bathroom BEF

<cak> ORE class

<JanetNdisg> LOL

<cak> (can you guess where my mind is?)

<AliciaG> heh

<Lib> I don't know anymore tricks

<AliciaG> I think that's good enough for an aliciag treat cak!

<JanetNdisg> that's a good tip though. Always make the complete drink cycle before class.

<Lib> except keep scrap paper nearby to test your image on

<cak> LOL--I'l take it! (I'm not proud)

<JanetNdisg> yay CAK!

<JanetNdisg> Oh and another tip?

<cak> that's a good one too Lib--one that gets forgotten

<Lib> I am learning, you know.... not far to ask me for tricks.... whine whine whine

<JanetNdisg> When this week is over, don't stop coming around here. We have a game or a class or a something every single evening at 10 eastern time

<JanetNdisg> (you're invited)

<cak> Janet how about using watercolors on DTS (direct to stamp)--your technique?

<JanetNdisg> Oh yes!!

<cak> (of course, you're invited! silly girl)

<JanetNdisg> this is a fast and easy trick!

<JanetNdisg> watercolor up your stamp, paint directly on the stamp

<JanetNdisg> forget you did it

<JanetNdisg> tomorrow pick up the stamp, spritz it with some water and stamp with it

<AliciaG> ooh

<JanetNdisg> voila. instant watercolor

<Lib> Janet- can you use Metallic Marvy Markers to DIS?

<JanetNdisg> no, but do you know the cool background with those?

<ANNOWITHTR> ok..

<cak> You came up with that a looooong time ago--1st convention, wasn't it?

<Lib> No- I have 3 and want to use them so bad!!!

<ANNOWITHTR> I'm done with the hard stuff..

<ANNOWITHTR> up and down to flip sammiches is not so bad!

<AliciaG> anno, you still have 3 more aliciag things to give away

<JanetNdisg> get glossy paper, like kromekote and scribble with the three colors...

<ANNOWITHTR> I do?

<secondstar> ive got a Marvy metallic trick

ANNOWITHTREATS sits back and watches.

<AliciaG> yup

<JanetNdisg> then get that wet and move the paper around so the ink runs aroundand mixes up with each other

<JanetNdisg> let it dry

<cak> (alicia's on meds, can you tell?)

<JanetNdisg> ooo Deb tell the marker trick!

<ANNOWITHTR> that's great.. I needed a break anyway!

<JanetNdisg> using an AOL CD for a paint palette is worth a treat just by itself

<Lib> SNORT

<secondstar> LOL

<cak> Lib, we gotta get you logging these chats
