<BRENDA> TY
<BRENDA> I AM GOING TO TELL YOU
<kristi> well, in the 90's everyone was diagnosed with TMJ, now everyone is being diagnosed with sleep apnea
<BRENDA> THESE SAMPLES LOOK BETTER ON HERE THAN THEY DO IN REAL LIFE
<CrowFeathe> mine is asthma, deviated septum and sleep apnea. stop breathing for long periods without the machine-- thought I wuz havin' a heart attack one night. So went to see neurologist.
<Scout> In the 80's, everyone was being diagnosed with TMJ, the thingie where your jaws were so tight that you had to get a mouthpeice to wear at nite.
<CrowFeathe> oops,c lass is startin' apologies for talking, brenda!
<CrowFeathe> not everyone kristi.
<BRENDA> OK
<Scout> The last couple years it's been sleep apnea and this year it seems to be Adult Onset Diabetes
<BRENDA> I HAVE A SURPRISE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THESE CARDS
<kristi> ah
<KzooCat> yes?
<kat> ooooohhhhhhhhh
<CrowFeathe> ooh a surprise?
<Cher> love surprises
<starofhear> spill your guts lady
<kat> a surprise
<BRENDA> THEY ARE NOT RUBBER STAMPED AT ALL
kristi loves surprises
<CrowFeathe> me too!
<starofhear> It kinda looked like wall paper..?????
<BRENDA> THIS IS A WAY OF STRECHING YOUR DOLLARS
<vicki> sacriledge
<cak> sacrilege!!
<BRENDA> YOU ONLY NEED THE SAYING FOR INSIDE
<cak> (lol gmta vicki)
<cak> (except yours spells better)
<Scout> Do we soak the $ to get them to stretch? In what?
<CrowFeathe> these are so pretty, brenda, so colorful too
<BRENDA> THESE ARE SO SIMPLE TOO
<BRENDA> EASY
<BRENDA> DOES EVERYONE KNOW WHAT EVOS TEMPLATES ARE?
<KzooCat> yes
<CrowFeathe> yep, have some
<Cher> yes
<Scout> y
<BRENDA> WELL THESE ARE THE MINI THANGS
<starofhear> Oh my goodness......yes.......
<cak> yes!
<CrowFeathe> early ones, rectangles and ovals
<vicki> something to covet
<BRENDA> THE LITTLE TINY ONES
<starofhear> I thought you might have used a punch...... you know those big ones that are now out.
<BRENDA> I USED THEM TO MEASURE WITH
<BRENDA> JUST SAT AND CUT OUT
<BRENDA> HEY FROO
<cak> brenda, about how big are the minis? (I've been avoiding looking at them 'cause then I'll covet them)
<BRENDA> I PICKED OUT SMALL WALLPAPER DESIGNS THAT THE TEMPLATES FIT OVER
<BRENDA> THEY ARE CLEAR SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE TO CUT
<BRENDA> THEN DECIDED HOW TO LAYOUT ON THE PAPER
<BRENDA> JUST LIKE A QUILT TYPE LOOK
<BRENDA> JUST LIKE A QUILT TYPE LOOK
<BRENDA> THE SMALL FLOWERS WERE THE BEST
<cak> brenda, about how big are the minis? (I've been avoiding looking at them 'cause then I'll covet them)
<BRENDA> TO DECIDE THE DESIGN
<BRENDA> THEY ARE ABOUT 1IN TO 2 1/2 INCH
<BRENDA> I THINK
<CrowFeathe> neat idea, going over the wallpaper
<BRENDA> YES JEAN
<kristi> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/brenda/evo/
<BRENDA> AND SINCE THEY ARE CLEAR
<BRENDA> YOU KNOW HOW IT WILL LOOK
<cak> oooo, I love little things. and I bet that's why the small design wallpaper works so well?
<BRENDA> YOU COULD STAMP A DESIGN EVEN AND THEN CUT WITH THE MINI TEMPLATES
<BRENDA> YES CAK
<BRENDA> AND I DIDNT REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND SMALL DESIGNS
<CrowFeathe> brb someone at the door
<BRENDA> I WENT TO QUILT WEB SITES
<BRENDA> AND JUST GOT LOTS OF IDEAS ABOUT LAYOUTS
<BRENDA> THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE
<BRENDA> IT WAS ALMOST HARD TO DECIDE ON WHAT TO USE
<BRENDA> THE ONLY INK I WOULD RECOMMEND ON THE WALLPAPER IS BRILLIANCE ANYMORE
<BRENDA> I LOVE IT
<BRENDA> IT DRIES
<cak> but you did--lots of good stuff. Will you be making more? (and cool idea using quilt patterns)
<BRENDA> ANY QUESTIONS
<raven> I think I need some of those.. it would make it really easy to lay out and cut pages for mini books...
<cak> Oh Yes!!
<BRENDA> YES RAVEN I THOUGHT THAT TOO
<BRENDA> IT HAS BEEN SO NEAT PLAYING WITH THESE
<BRENDA> THE IDEAS JUST KEEP COMING
<BRENDA> I ASKED EVO THOUGH FOR SOME SMALLER TRIANGLES
<BRENDA> CAUSE OR DIAMONDS
<BRENDA> CAUSE WHEN YOU CUT THEM TO LAY DOWN THE PAGE
<BRENDA> AS YOU CAN SEE
<raven> Hmmmmmm.... the diamond shape ones... are they sized right to fit together in a circle? edge to edge? Like a star pattern?
<BRENDA> IT IS HARD TO GET THEM TO FIT STRAIGHT
<BRENDA> IN THE ROW
<BRENDA> DOWN THE SIDE
<BRENDA> 2 ND ROW
<BRENDA> BEIGE COLOR CARD
<BRENDA> AND 3 RD ROW
<BRENDA> YELLOW CARD
<BRENDA> YOU HAVE TO TURN
<BRENDA> THEM TO GET THREE
<BRENDA> ON THE EDGE
<BRENDA> SO I ASKED FOR SMALLER
<BRENDA> IS EVERYONE ASLEEP?
<KzooCat> no
<BRENDA> K
<kristi> nope - I'm awake
<cak> nope, just thinking of tiling, etc
<vicki> just being polite
<BRENDA> OK ANY QUESTIONS?
<raven> did you catch my question Bren?
<Cher> no, just admiring your cards!
<BRENDA> YES CAK
<BRENDA> NO RAVEN
<BRENDA> WHAT?
<raven> the diamond shape ones... are they sized right to fit together in a circle? edge to edge? Like a star pattern?
<raven> like in a quilt?
<BRENDA> I HAVENT TRIED IT
<BRENDA> BUT MAYBE
<raven> I need some sized to make kaleidascope patterns
<BRENDA> OH YES
<BRENDA> NEAT IDEA
<keribou> I made a card with a quilt pattern of the mini thang diamonds
<raven> so they have to make a solid star when fit together
<BRENDA> THEY ARENT EXPENSIVE
<keribou> 5 of them fit together almost perfect
<BRENDA> THERE YA GO
<raven> great, Bou!
<BRENDA> KERI DO YOU HAVE A WEB PAGE OF THAT?
<BRENDA> KERI?
<kristi> I agree Raven - ones that work for kaleidascope patterns would be great
<keribou> http://www.mindspring.com/~boos1/shtml.html
<kristi> these seem like the might be a bit too fat though, don't they??
<keribou> 3rd card down right hand column
<kristi> oh, kewl - a 5 point!
<raven> AHA! Keribou!!! I remember seeing that now!!!!
<BRENDA> OK IS THAT MINI THANGS ARE JUST THE DIAMOND TEMPLATES?
<keribou> mini thangs diamond templates work the same
<BRENDA> OK
<raven> Yes, Ktisti... a second set of skinny diamonds would be great too
<keribou> oh brenda- I might have used the smalled diamond templates on that one come to think of it
<enchy> we don't have room on the table for any more products
<enchy> i have told miss ellen NO MORE NEW STUFF
<BRENDA> I DONT KNOW IF MINI THANGS ARE CUT THE SAME
raven stuffs the convention trout into Enchy's mouth
<BRENDA> RAVEN I WILL TRY TO LAY SOME OUT AND LET YOU KNOW
<enchy> ewwww cat food
<cak> (I don't think she's listening--I hope not anyway)
<enchy> she's not
<BRENDA> SHE ISNT
<enchy> she never listens to me - she just laughs at me
<enchy> sigh
<BRENDA> LOL
<raven> that's okay.... I'll tell her :-)
<BRENDA> E ALL LAUGH AT ENCHY
enchy hangs head
<BRENDA> LOL
enchy goes and sits in corner and pouts
<BRENDA> CAUSE WE LUVS HER
<enchy> you don't send me chocklit
<enchy> roflol
<BRENDA> LOL
<rabbitsmom> is there a samples page , i just got here
<BRENDA> WELL CUSE YOU DONT NEED CHOKLIT
<cak> http://cyberstampers.com/class/brenda/evo/
<enchy> oh yeah
<enchy> that's true
<BRENDA> YEP
<rabbitsmom> thanks
<BRENDA> THIS JUST KIND OF GETS IDEAS GOING INTO WAYS OF HOW TO STECH YOUR MONEY
<BRENDA> RAVEN IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR TECHNIQUE TO KALEIDA?
<raven> wait... first give me the URL for that analysis site...
<BRENDA> LOL
<cak> lol
<kristi> serious??
<cak> yeah, you'd better
<raven> Well... most important is in choosing the pattern repeat
<BRENDA> K
<BRENDA> LIKE TEABAG FOLDING?
<raven> you have to make certain every shape lines up perfectly with the one nect to it
<BRENDA> I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS KALEIDA
<BRENDA> OK
<raven> yes! Like the teabags
<keribou> Brenda- update
<BRENDA> YES?
<keribou> you can use the mini thangs do to a quilt star
<keribou> it will work
<BRENDA> YIPPIE
<BRENDA> THERE YA GO RAVEN
<keribou> and 6 triangles will make a hexagon
<cak> I was looking at the mini-thangs and it looks like the diamond might be made up of equilateral triangles, so they'll tile, but not to a star (pentagon), just to a hexagon
<BRENDA> NEATO
<raven> oh cool
<cak> (boy, I'm a day late and a dollar short all tonight)
<BRENDA> THAT IS NEAT
<KzooCat> bye for now - thanks Brenda!
<cindyc> oooo i am late

<BRENDA> TY
<paprpushr> thanks so much brenda
<BRENDA> THESE ARENT BEVELED
<BRENDA> BUT THEY ARENT AS THICK AS THE OTHERS TEMPLATES
<BRENDA> YW
<cak> actually that's what I prefer 'cause I use 'em to cut around and 90 degrees less wobbly for me
<BRENDA> YEP
<BRENDA> I LIKE THE TEMPLATES WHEN I CAN FLIP AND NOT HAVE THE BEVEL TOO
<cak> I know that's better for drawing around, but I usually do my drawing with a knife (sounds wicked, doesn't it?)
<BRENDA> NOPE
<BRENDA> SOUNDS SMART
<BRENDA> I AM NOT GOOD WITH A KNIFE
<vicki> oooh, danger girl!
<BRENDA> NOR WITH SCISSORS
<cindyc> i am the punch queen... g
<keribou> I missed cuting class in kindergarden
<cak> lol--that's me. I'd say I run with scissors, but I don't move that fast
<vicki> lol
<cak> I was *really* bad til I took a binding workshop and man, I learned to use a mat knife and exacto *real* quick
<BRENDA> REALLY?
<BRENDA> I NEED THAT CLASS

<Cher> ty brenda! (gonna try to sneak in dinner now!) Great ideas!!
<Scout> Maybe you ought to take a class at Benihana's.
<BRENDA> ok
<cak> I just need to adopt a beginner's mind and not get so flustered by not knowing right away
