<Janet> I love my diamond Evo templates and now there are betweenies and they're normally $21 but she said for class tonight $19 and free shipping in the US

<Frog> but Raven made the samples

<Keribou> But I do have some samples made with the regular diamonds so you can use your imagination

<Frog> Darn, I can't come Tuesday

<Legs> man oh man...those pot samples!! (not THAT kind of pot) those are fab-o!!!

<kristi> I only have the circles - I don't use them much - I think I"m not much for round designs

<Legs> Did Raven make those???

<Janet> (so if you buy the diamond in betweenie templates tonight, be sure and say "just because" so you get the special price and the free shipping)

<Frog> Yes, indeed

<Janet> Aren't those FAB?? They are awesome. And there's instructions there so you can see how to do it yourself.

<Frog> and sent me the samples :)

<Legs> did she make em outta clay or what, Frog??

<Janet> I'll be here Tuesday. I can't wait. I love my templates. (and Keribou classes too)

<Frog> Some are of clay, some are stamped and some are tooled in copper

<Janet> polyclay, some of 'em

<Legs> I haven't seen anything like those before

<Legs> wow

<MaggieB> sorry i am joining in late

<Janet> Kat mentioned she had a lil bit of snow<g>

<kristi> hi maggieb!

<Legs> ok, Miss Smartypants Computer Janet, how much does a decent and FAST (read screaming) computer cost nowadaze and do I have to have that dsl thing too???

<MaggieB> just a tad

<cak> (I feel for you both)

<Janet> I am taking you all on my tour of the mall, so you can lust after this stuff same as I did

<MaggieB> i like cable better than dsl lea

<sparkle> them gargoyls are adorable though

<cak> misery/lust loves company

<MaggieB> a tour of the mall???

<sparkle> you need the dsl thing Lea

<Legs> hey Amy

<MaggieB> cool janet

<Janet> You can get a good screamer for about a thou, Lea

Chele is skeered of gargoyles

<kristi> me too - cable is better around here

<MaggieB> cable is faster here

<kristi> if you build it, you can get it for about $700

<MaggieB> and not on phone line

<sparkle> cable stinks if you're in an area with high utilization though

<Legs> but here the cable thing is like 60 bucks a MONTH

<MaggieB> guess depends on where you are

<kristi> yes, it does

Chele can't get cable OR dsl yet. poop

<MaggieB> 40 here

<Janet> DSL is about 40

<MaggieB> we pay less for cable than dsl

<kristi> DSL is nearly $100 here

<MaggieB> and easier to get and install

<kristi> cable is about $45 I think

<MaggieB> cheaper to start too

<Frog> I pay $70 for dsl

<MaggieB> cable is i mean

<Janet> Oh and Appaloosa has a year in clearance sale. Good stamps that they say aren't perfect because they're the wrong color rubber.

<Legs> oh, right..ME building a computer???? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahaah

<sparkle> our DSL is $49.95 a month

<MaggieB> with dsl you need a dedicated line in most places around here

<MaggieB> lol lea

<Janet> Not here. I canceled the other phone line after we got dsl

<sparkle> oh, then it's not true DSL Maggie.

<AmyLPR> my phnoe runs on the same line as my dsl

<MaggieB> i could be wrong spark, i checked it all out in 2000 and switched

<Legs> I think what I should really do is just get rid oof the whole stinkin thing

<cak> Man, if that's the only thing wrong with 'em---

<MaggieB> have had cable for 1-1/2 years and love it

<Janet> Oh Oh Oh. I just remembered. If you're thinking about buying stuff from Photo Art Stamps? Do it now. Jan. 1 I'm putting in (slightly) higher prices.

sparkle is still cruising inka stamps and cursing Janet

<MaggieB> aas sale is great

<Legs> there can't BE a wrong color of rubber!

<Janet> And there is RED!

<Janet> What's new at Enchanted Ink, Red?

<Janet> (that was my opinion, so I bought some of that "wrong color" rubber)

<MaggieB> hey red, didn't see you

<Legs> hey Red

<Redstick> Well, I've got 4 sheets of rubber that I really think not too many people saw at the convention :)

<MaggieB> i know who cares what color it is if it works??

<AmyLPR> what is wrong colour rubber?

<Chele> hiiiii Red!

<Keribou> URL Red?

<Redstick> Hiya Janet, Legs, Maggie, Chele!

<MaggieB> oh the new ones red? the awesome architecture ones????

<Janet> I don't know if I was supposed to say that or if Kate wanted the higher prices to just slide in unannounced, but that IS something new (so buy now before I get it done)

<sparkle> LOL...AAS has their signature color, so anything not that color is "wrong"

<MaggieB> and the fun ones?

<Keribou> Janet- Kate has been telling people on her list to order nw before price increase

<Chele> my son just announced to me that his belly button feels dry

<Redstick> www.enchantedink.com/shop/plates.htm

<Janet> yeah and the "wrong color" rubber I bought before was still teal, just the wrong shade

<Redstick> I think

<Legs> Kate.....photoartkate?

<Janet> Oh good, that makes me feel a bit better.

<AmyLPR> i got some clear yellow rubber the otherday

<Janet> Yep, photo art kate. She's raising prices first of the year.

<MaggieB> and the summer convention

<MaggieB> cool kristi

<Janet> Most excellent, Maggie.

<MaggieB> just a good excuse to play kristi

<kristi> yeah, I guess

<kat> i can't wait to try one.

<MaggieB> should be fun

<MaggieB> the techniques can be used in anything

<kristi> I just can't get past the whole defacing a book issue yet - I have 5 books I picked up specifically for that purpose, but haven't been able to yet, lol!

<MaggieB> but the books are fun

<MaggieB> oh just do it!!

<MaggieB> i buy cheapies for it

<Janet> it's too ingrained. books are our friends. Wash your hands before reading. That whole thing.

<kristi> lol

<MaggieB> oh i treat my books like gold

<AmyLPR> yep

<MaggieB> ask anyone that bought them

<kristi> yeah, I picked some up at a local used book store and ordered some cheapies from half.com

<MaggieB> like new

<MaggieB> i buy some JUST to alter

<kat> I'm ready to rebel against gradeschool teachers

<sparkle> janet, books are tools

<MaggieB> me too kat

<sparkle> just like rubberstamps

<Kriztina> find stuff like old math books or chemistry books

<Janet> i got some just for altering. and I still have them, ready.

<cak> Several of our profs have retired and they just put tons of 'em in the recycle bin

<kristi> I haven't found any old textbooks around here yet

<MaggieB> yeah janet you probably already altered one already.... didn't you EVER color in one as a kid???

<Janet> I was given a whole set of medical reference books. Old ones. Mildewing and all.

<cak> (notice the silence Maggie)

<Kriztina> salvation army ususally has some really crappy books

<kat> yes, just concider it a coloring book

<MaggieB> lol cak

<Janet> LOL yeah, Maggie. That experience marked me for life.

<AmyLPR> on that note, i "altered" every math book I ever had

<AmyLPR> lol

<MaggieB> lol amy

<kristi> lol

<kat> lol amy

<MaggieB> i bought some buck books at the library fair

<MaggieB> just to alter

<MaggieB> give them another chance at life!

<cak> so those medical reference books already started the altering process Janet. Still got 'em?

kristi needs to watch for a library fair

<Kriztina> i even found a novel written in russian at salvation army

<Janet> I do!

<AmyLPR> all the 0's are now happt faces and peace signs

<kat> kewl kriz

<cak> I love the look of the cyrillic alphabet--save anything you cut out for collage Kriz (like you aren't gonna do that)

<sparkle> ROFL

<sparkle> I need that novel!

<Kriztina> i bought it just for cutting up for collage

sparkle is re-learning russian

<Janet> You could probably read it.

<sparkle> eventually

cak preens 'cause she had the same idea as Kriz

<sparkle> I found a program for my visor to make flash cards for re-learning the alphabet and vocabulary

<sparkle> <G>

<MaggieB> i just want everyone to have FUN with the altered book/art journal class

<MaggieB> oh you CAN just do a journal

<MaggieB> you know..... blank pages

<MaggieB> in case books intimidate you

<kristi> lol

<MaggieB> orrrr just do the techniques

<MaggieB> in other stuff

<MaggieB> class is meant to be fun

<MaggieB> while learning

<MaggieB> and never ever intimidating

<cak> (sample pages! good start for an art journal)

<MaggieB> thus books/journal

<MaggieB> yes cak

<kat> it would be fun if before each class we posted the page we worked on

<MaggieB> whatever you want

<MaggieB> oh that would be fun kat

<MaggieB> and if dm gives me enough space i could do that......

<MaggieB> some samples

<kat> it could be like homework, or is that a dirty word

<MaggieB> lol

<MaggieB> no because it is optional

<MaggieB> lol

<cak> Work! (for those of us who remember Maynard G Krebs)

AmyLPR washes kat's mouth out with soap

<MaggieB> its an idea anyhow

<kat> lol amy

<Janet> Work!

<Janet> Maggie, just take the space.

<D-E> excuse me,....I have an IRC question.....

<Janet> If Nic notices, I'll stick up for ya

<Janet> yes, Debi Ellen?

<MaggieB> ok, i guess if people send me scans I can post some

<D-E> HOW do I make a line say my name?

<MaggieB> give others idea of what they are doing

<Janet> like the action thingie?

<kat> okey, dokey

<D-E> you know, like Debi-Ellen says........
