<RubberRabb> hi amy

<jenmist> THERE IS A LINK ON THE SAMPLE PAGE TO INSTRUCTIONS WITH A TEMPLATE

<jenmist> ACTUALLY I GOT THIS IN A SCRAPBOOK CLASS

<RubberRabb> but you gotta go see the cool sample first

<Holly> do you know if the template prints out the right size?

<jenmist> TO MAKE A BOOK TO JOURNAL SECTION FOR YOUT PAGE

<jenmist> IT DID FOR MWE

<jenmist> ME

<Holly> okay, thanks

<jenmist> IT ALSO HAS THE DIMENSIONS WRITTEN ON IT

<Holly> that is always so helpful!

<RubberRabb> if you have access to a die cutting machine you could probably get one of those accucut purse patterns to use too

<RubberRabb> and just adjust your book

<jenmist> LUCKY IT PRINTED RIGHT SIZE CAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN CLUELESS HOW TO MAKE IT DO THAT

<jenmist> YES RR

<jenmist> YOU CAN ADJUST SIZE EASILY IF YOU NEED TO REALLY

RubberRabbit thinks> now I have a reason to visit that lady I know with the die cutter

<jenmist> I WAS AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENT PAPERS I TRIED THAT ALL WORKED

<jenmist> SOME OF THOSE ARE VERY LIGHTWEIGHT PAPERS

<RubberRabb> really? well that would make it even easier

<jenmist> ONCE YOU INSERT THE PAGES IT HAS ENOUGH WEIGHT TO MAKE IT WORK

Holly loves to play with papers

<jenmist> AND REALLY I AM USING MORE AS A CARD THAN A BOOK SO DOES NOT NEED TO BE SOOOO STURDY

<RubberRabb> and what a great way to use up paper too

<RubberRabb> make a crazy quilt out of paper and then cut it into a purse

<jenmist> COOL IDEA RR

<Holly> i have some paper I've been coveting for just the right purpose and this is perfect

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<Holly> ooh RR that would be really neat looking

<RubberRabb> well I just saw this quilt program about old crazy quilts

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<jenmist> MY INSIDE PAGES ARE MADE FROM SCRAPS I HAD FROM SOME ENVELOPES I MADE TO HOLD TICKETS FOR A BUSINESS GIVEAWAY

<RubberRabb> and if you got really snazzy you could even do embroidery stitches on the paper

<AmyLPR> very frugal

<jenmist> THERE ARE A LOT OF DIRECTIONS YOU COULD TAKE HERE

<Holly> I have been doing paper embroidery lately. I can see that working

<jenmist> YES

<Holly> or the paper pricking with the inside color showing through

<jenmist> OK

<jenmist> ARE WE READY?

<Holly> yes!

<AmyLPR> yup

<RubberRabb> yea I think so

<Cher> ready!

<jenmist> DID EVERYONE GET TO SEE THE SAMPLES?

RubberRabbit is looking forward to a class she gets to just listen to

<deb> wonderful!!!

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<jenmist> THERE IS A LINK FOR THE TEMPLATE ON THE INSTRUCTION PAGE

<jenmist> I WROTE THE DIMENSIONS ON THE TEMPLATE SO YOU CAN GET THE MEASUREMENTS CORRECT

<Holly> yes, they are gorgeous

<debbie_in_> they are just beautiful

<jenmist> ON THE SIZE ISSUE - YOU CAN TRIM TO MAKE SMALLER OR ENLARGE EASILY I THINK

<jenmist> THE PINK ONE WITH THE EMBROIDERED TRIM IS A BIT SMALLER THAN THE OTHERS

<jenmist> SUPPLY LIST:

<jenmist> TEMPLATE

<jenmist> DECORATIVE PAPER OR CS FOR PURSE OUTSIDE

<jenmist> SCISSORS

<jenmist> PLAIN CS FOR INSIDE OF PURSE

<jenmist> 1 CHARM, BUTTON OR BEAD TO MATCH OUTSIDE OF PURSE

<jenmist> RIBBON, FIBER, CORDING, ETC FOR PURSE HANDLE

<jenmist> SMALL PIECE OF SELF ADHESIVE VELCRO TO HOLD PURSE SHUT - THIS MAY NOT BE NEEDED

<jenmist> GLUE - I USED YES

<jenmist> DOUBLESTICK (REDLINE) TAPE MAY BE HELPFUL

<jenmist> PRETTY BASIC SUPPLIES

<jenmist> THERE WAS A QUESTION ON THE TRIMS

<jenmist> I GET MOST ON CLEARANCE

<jenmist> FOUND GREAT DEALS AT MICHAELS ON TRIM PACKS THAT WERE FOR TRIMMING JEANS

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<jenmist> THAT IS WHERE THE TRIM ON THE PINK PURSE WAS FROM

<Holly> does the length of trim just depend on what you want?

<jenmist> I ALSO PICKED UP CORDING AFTER XMAS ON CLEARANCE

<debbie_in_> I have some rick rack..from when I was a baby...that would work too wouldn't it...

<jenmist> YES IT WOULD

<jenmist> YES HOLLY

<RubberRabb> well and the clearance rack of a fabric store has the odd ends of trims too

<jenmist> THE BROWN PURSE ON UPPER RIGHT HAS XMAS CORDING ON IT

<RubberRabb> cool

<jenmist> I ALSO USED FIBERS ON SOME - JUST TO TEASE MY KITTY

<Holly> lol

<Scout> now if "I" had rickrack from when I was a baby, I'd say it was probably disintigrating by now. but then I'm sooooo old

<AmyLPR> lol

<jenmist> LOL

<jenmist> STEP 1 - LAY TEMPLATE OVER OUTSIDE PAPER FOR PURSE, YOU CAN TRACE AND THE CUT OR BE DARING LIKE ME AND HOLD THE TEMPLATE IN PLACE AND CUT AROUND IT

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<jenmist> I TRULY HOLD TEMPLATE OVER THE PAPER AND CUT AROUND IT

RubberRabbit believes jen

<Scout> It would be from when they first invented rick rack!

<jenmist> BECAUSE MOST OF US ARE NOT PERFECT CUTTERS YOU MAY NEED TO TRIM WHEN MATCHING EDGES ANYWAY SO WHY PANIC ABOUT IT

<jenmist> ROFL SCOUT

<jenmist> AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SAMPLES I USED A RANGE OF PAPERS - VELVET PAPER WORKS REALLY WELL BUT I ALSO USED HEAVIER PAPER THAT WAS ALMOST VINYL ON THE OUTSIDE TO DECORATIVE HANDMADE STYLE PAPERS

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm

<jenmist> FOR NEWCOMERS THE SAMPLE PAGE HAS A LINK TO INSTRUCTIONS WITH A TEMPLATE

<debbie_in_> this rickrack is well over 40 years old...and looks like new...mother kept it in a sewing box...all these years

<Scout> These purses are such fun to make and when you tuck something in as a gift, everyone ooohs and aaashs.

<jenmist> GREAT COLORS I BET

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has link to instructions with a template

<jenmist> YOU ARE SO GOOD RR

<jenmist> STEP 2 - MAKE YOUR FOLD LINES, THERE ARE DOTTED LINES ON THE TEMPLATE BUT I USUALLY FOLD THE WIDER PART TO THE INSIDE AND ADJUST MY EXACT FOLD TO WHEN IT MEETS THE UPPER PART EVENLY ON THE SIDES, THEN FOLD THE TOP OVER FOR THE CLOSING OF THE PURSE

[the logger was dropped momentarily here]

<jenmist> EDGING THE ENTIRE PURSE WITH FANCY CUT SOUNDED NEAT

<jenmist> BUT MUST DO AFTER FOLDED - LOL

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has links to the instruction page with a template

<Cher> could maybe use thin sticky magnet tape on each side to close purse

<jenmist> SO NEED TO USE LIGHTER WEIGHT PAPER FOR THAT CONCEPT

<RubberRabb> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has links to the instruction page with a template

<jenmist> GOOD IDEA CHER

<jenmist> ACTUALLY IF YOU REALLY PRESS YOUR FOLDS FIRMLY YOU ALMOST DO NOT NEED THE VELCRO

<jenmist> IF REALLY HEAVY CS YOU WILL

<RubberRabb> just make sure they don't store this notebook in their wallet with their credit cards--demagnetize them all

<jenmist> ROFL

<jenmist> YOU CAN ALSO CUT ATTACH A PIECE OF RIBBON OR TRIM THAT GOES AROUND THE ENTIRE TOP FLAP AN FORMS A HANDLE THAT WAY (TOP 2 EXAMPLES)

<Cher> lol! that may curb my spending!

<jenmist> THE PINK EXAMPLE HAD TRIM GLUED ALL THE WAY AROUND ALL EDGES

<jenmist> ON THE GLUE ISSUE YOU NEED TO USE SOMETHING THAT DRIES CLEAR, I FOUND THAT YES WORKED BEST FOR ME AND THE CONTAINER IS HANDY TO SIT ON TOP OF THE ITEM TO HOLD IT WHILE DRYING.

<Holly> I was thinking you could run a loop through a slit in the front and loop it over the button. It would add a decorative touch

<jenmist> I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ATTACHING TRIM AROUND THE EDGES IS THE HARDEST PART OF THIS

<jenmist> I ALSO USED REDLINE TAPE TO DO IT

<RubberRabb> perfect paper adhesive would work well

<RubberRabb> and so would pva

<jenmist> DRIES CLEAR BEAD GLUE WORKED WELL FOR ADDING THE FIBERS

<jenmist> THE TRICKY PART

<jenmist> IS THE TRIM DOES NOT WANT TO STAY IN PLACE VERY WELL

<jenmist> SO YOU NEED SOMETHING PRETTY STICKY

<jenmist> OR SOMETHING TO SET ON TOP OF EACH SECTION WHILE IT DRIES

<RubberRabb> pva is pretty sticky and I heard someone with a great idea the other day

<RubberRabb> use a bag of rice

<jenmist> AND THE VELVET PAPERS DO NOT TAKE GLUE SO WELL IT SEEMED

<RubberRabb> as a weight

<jenmist> YES RR - GOOD IDEA

<Scout> The loop idea might work on a button sewn on the front. You could back it up with another smaller button on the back.

<Holly> yeah, that's a good idea Scout

<jenmist> A LOT OF IT DEPENDS ON THE PAPER AND THE TRIM AND THICKNESS ISSUES

<AZLivewire> rubber cement

<jenmist> ON THE FRONT PIECE I USED BUTTONS OR CHARMS OR BEADS

<RubberRabb> velvet paper I found works best with E6000

<jenmist> YOU WANT SOMETHING FAIRLY LIGHTWEIGHT

<AmyLPR> use spray adhesive

<RubberRabb> rubber cement yellow too quickly

<RubberRabb> even for ephemera

<debbie_in_> what about hot glue for the trims...or would that be a no no

<AZLivewire> good tip

<jenmist> I USED YES ON MY SAMPLES

<jenmist> HOT GLUE WOULD BE GOOD

<Holly> I was thinking hot glue would work on the trim pretty good

<Holly> it sets so fast

<jenmist> COURSE MY IN THE PROCESS CRAFT ROOM CLEANING HAS EFFECTIVELY HIDDEN ALL MY GLUE GUNS

<RubberRabb> rofl

<debbie_in_> then ts hot glue for me...LOL

<jenmist> I THINK IT WOULD WORK GREAT

<Holly> you'll find your glue guns right after you buy a new one!

<jenmist> LOL

<RubberRabb> you could probably even use hot glue 'seals' as decoration

<jenmist> I AM FINISHING MY CRAFT ROOM THIS COMING WEEK

<jenmist> TRUE RR

<debbie_in_> I have 4 and only know where 1 is right now

<jenmist> I THINK WE ALL HAVE TONS OF STUFF IN OUR HOMES RIGHT NOW WE CAN USE TO DECORATE THESE

<Holly> I have two and know where they both are. I am so organized!

<jenmist> SHOW-OFF

<Holly> lol

<RubberRabb> and tons of wallpaper books to get paper from too

<jenmist> OH YES

Holly knows where the wallpaper books are too

<jenmist> I AM TRYING WALLPAPER NEXT

<RubberRabb> esp girly prints

RubberRabbit is into girly stuff today

<debbie_in_> Oh my yes wallpaper books...now I have lots of those...

<Scout> since my mom died with Altzheimers, the fact that I am constantly have to hunt to find my rs stuff makes me wonder, oh boy, is this it/

<jenmist> NOW, ON TO THE INSIDE OF THE PURSE

<jenmist> OH SCOUT - IT IS BEING A STAMPER

<jenmist> WE ARE ALL LIKE THAT

RubberRabbit looks first to see if she can find any money

<jenmist> OK - EXCEPT HOLLY

<jenmist> AND SPARKLE

<Holly> I'm sorry about your mom scout.

<debbie_in_> y'all I really did not need another project...but I just cannot past this up...I will be making little purses next week...

<Scout> If you have rs stuff, you don't have any money....right?

<RubberRabb> and rabbit--rabbits know where all their stuff is too

<Scout> ty Holly.

<jenmist> I HAVE FOUND THROUGH EXPERIENCE THAT IF YOU WANT TO STAMP SOMETHING FOR THE INSIDE OF THE BOOK IT IS BETTER TO STAMP BEFORE PUTTING PAGES IN THE BOOK

<debbie_in_> my problem is knowing I have it...and not knowing where its at...then buying another one...

<jenmist> BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT HAVE A GOOD SMOOTH SURFACE FOR ONE THING

<jenmist> AFTER THE TRIM IS ATTACHED

<Scout> Ditto

<jenmist> AND ALSO CAUSE YOU MIGHT SCREW UP

<debbie_in_> did you use card stock...or text weight for the pages

<jenmist> FOR THE INSIDE CUT 4 PIECES OF CS JUST SHORT OF 2 x 4 INCHES - LIKE 1 & 31/32 AND 3 & 31/32

<jenmist> I USED CS

<Holly> debbie just think of all the other things you could buy if you were organized and knew where the original item was!

<jenmist> WEIRD MEASUREMENTS I KNOW

<deb> lol

<jenmist> BUT YOU DO NOT WANT ANY EDGES STICKING OUT

<debbie_in_> Oh Please...my hubby would think he was with the wrong woman...

RubberRabbit slaps Holly with the show-off trout for showing off her organized ways

<jenmist> THE SAMPLE ONE I SAW THEY CUT THE CORNERS OF THE PAGES TO NOT STICK OUT - LOOKED AWFUL

<jenmist> RR IS TAKING ROOM CONTROL PRETTY SERIOUSLY

RubberRabbit grins widely

Holly is not showing off

Holly is helping others

RubberRabbit unslaps Holly with her helping out trout

<Holly> ty RR

<deb> ok y9ou guys

<jenmist> YOU NEED TO FOLD THESE IN HALF AND SCORE THE FOLD WELL, THEN GLUE ALTERNATE SIDES TOGETHER SO YOU HAVE A LITTLE STACK OF PAGES READY TO PUT IN YOUR PURSE

<deb> I'll bounce you out

<AliciaG> sorry everybody I have to go, excuse my abrubt exit. Goodnight!

<jenmist> DOES EVERYONE GET THE PAGE THING HERE?

<jenmist> NITE ALICIA

<RubberRabb> yes

<Holly> yes, I do

<deb> yes

<debbie_in_> yes, makes perfect sense

<jenmist> YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE A GLUE STICK

<AmyLPR> yup

RubberRabbit secretly slaps deb with the bouncing trout when she's not looking

<jenmist> JUST BE SURE YOU DO NOT USE TOO MUCH OF ANY GLUE OR IT WILL MESS UP THE BODY OF THE PAGES

<jenmist> I ACTUALLY STAMP THE PAGES BEFORE I GLUE THEM TOGETHER

<jenmist> ESPECIALLY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE GOING TO EMBOSS

<Holly> I love your idea for the girlfriends purse Jen!

<jenmist> TY

<jenmist> NOW STAMP ON THE INSIDES OF THE PAGES - YOU CAN PLAN TO ADD SOME PERSONAL NOTES OR STAMP MESSAGES AND IMAGES MIXED ON THE PAGES

<trout_wiel> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has links to the instruction page with a template

<jenmist> THAT BOTTOM LEFT SAMPLE HAS A FORTUNE COOKIE CHARM AND THE IMAGES INSIDE ARE ALL ORIENTAL STYLE

<Holly> oh! How cute!

<jenmist> I DID ONE BOOK FOR A BABY GIFT SO I HAD PINK FOOTPRINTS EVERY OTHER PAGE AND A BABY IMAGE OR SAYING ON THE OTHER PAGES

<jenmist> THAT ONE IS FRO CLUMBER ACTUALLY - IF YOU REMEMBER HER

<BOUNCER> wow

<BOUNCER> you are soooo clever

<debbie_in_> could you put a small post it note pad inside...if you did not want to do the pages...like those little 2" square ones

<jenmist> I DID ANOTHER ON THE ABC'S OF FRIENDSHIP - STAMP CAMP SET I BELIEVE

<Holly> yes, I do. Did she have her baby?

<jenmist> YES!

<jenmist> ELLIE

<jenmist> ALMOST 2 WEEKS I THINK

<Holly> oh good! I'm glad it was a girl because I made that book for Nora and did the whole thing like it was little sister

<BOUNCER> lol

<jenmist> THEY KNEW IT WAS A GIRL

<Scout> At least one thing is really good here. The dead trout smell doesn't come thru the computer.

<jenmist> ROFL

<Holly> she said she was pretty sure, but there is always that doubt

<jenmist> THE POSTIT IS A GREAT IDEA!!!

<jenmist> I REALLY LIKE THAT

<trout_wiel> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has links to the instruction page with a template

<jenmist> I DID ONE WHERE I STAMPED A FUNKY FLOWER ON EVERY PAGE WITH FRESCO PASTELS, THEN I STAMPED A GIRL/FRIEND SAYING OVER THE FLOWER

<debbie_in_> cool...I just got some of those cheap ones at wal mart...and been wondering what to do with them...they are 2"square ones...an off brand

<jenmist> I AM SURE WE CAN ALL COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS FOR THIS

<rabbit_wit> this would be a great idea to package gift earrings

<jenmist> THE YELLOW ONE WITH THE DAISY ON THE FRONT HAS A DIFFERENT LOONEY TUNE CARTOON CHRACTER ON EACH PAGE

<Holly> and pass all the good ideas on to the list for the rest of us who have to copy!

<jenmist> YES!

<rabbit_wit> or put money in for a female high school graduate

<debbie_in_> what about one of those little memorabilia envy's and then tuck a gift inside it...

<jenmist> IT IS FOR NORA - THE NEW BIG SISTER ALONG WITH CARAMELS

<rabbit_wit> or a gift certificate

<AmyLPR> it would be cute the tiny i-zone pictures inside

<rabbit_wit> or a sewing kit

<jenmist> YES - GREAT IDEAS

<rabbit_wit> or a mini address book

<jenmist> COULD BE A MINI SCRAPBOOK ACTUALLY

<AmyLPR> ohhh

<Holly> or seed packets for the gardener

<jenmist> I WAS THINKING OF LAMINATING BEFORE FOLDING AND FINISHING

<rabbit_wit> the mini phone directory with a phone card gift

<jenmist> SO IT COULD BE CARRIED IN MY PURSE

<AmyLPR> neat

<Holly> love that idea RR

<jenmist> AFTER PAGES ARE READY, OPEN THE PURSE AND GLUE THE SIDE OF THE PAGES THAT WILL GO ON THE INSIDE BACK, GLUE THE SPINE ALSO

<jenmist> LAY INSIDE THE PURSE WITH PAGES SPINE JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM FOLD AND CORNERS ALIGNED ON THE TOP EDGES - PRESS INTO PLACE

<rabbit_wit> could even fill a mini baggie with m and ms for a choco emergency kit

<debbie_in_> what about an accordian bottom...then little memorabilia envy's and little cards or pictures in each...

<jenmist> OOOH YES!

<rabbit_wit> or jen caramels for a sugar fix

<jenmist> NOW ADD GLUE TO FRONT OF BOOK, BRING PURSE BOTTOM UP AND POSITION INTO PLACE, YOU MAY FIND A BIT OF PLAY WITH YOUR BOTTOM FOLD DEPENDING ON THE THICKNESS OF YOUR BOOK - IF YOU MAKE ONE WITH MORE PAGES YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT UP FRONT WHEN PRE-FOLDING

<jenmist> lol

<jenmist> DOES THAT PART MAKE SENSE

<jenmist> YOU HAVE A VERY CRISP FOLDLINE

<jenmist> BUT WILL NEED TO ADJUST FOR THICKNESS OF PAGES

<deb> yes

<jenmist> IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE MORE PAGES YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT FROM THE START

<Midnight> sorry I was late can someone post a clickable URL for samples?

<rabbit_wit> http://www.napruszewski.com/jenifer/class/books/sample_page.htm the sample page has links to the instruction page with a template

<LiBsTeR> thanks

<jenmist> NOW YOU CAN ADD THE VELCRO IF YOUR PURSE WILL NOT LAY CLOSED NICELY - YOU ONLY NEED A SMALL PIECE, HAVE THE HOOK AND LOOP STUCK TOGETHER, PEEL OFF ONE SIDE AND PUT ON PURSE FLAP UNDER WHERE YOUR CHARM/BUTTON IS, PEEL OFF OTHER SIDE AND CLOSE PURSE - PRESS FIRMLY

<debbie_in_> cause I just got the 1/2 inch accordian fold..and the 2 inch memorabilia envy for my accu cut...so I will play with that idea...

<jenmist> NEAT!

<debbie_in_> what about the purse straps...did you just glue those

<jenmist> YOU CAN GET TO THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SAMPLE PAGE AND THEY WILL BE THERE PRETTY MUCH FOREVER

LiBsTeR apologizes to Jen for being so late

<jenmist> YES I DID

<jenmist> IT IS OK LIB!

<debbie_in_> what about using small eyelets on either side of the top fold...and run the ribbon or cord...or fiber thru

<jenmist> THAT WOULD WORK ALSO - I EVEN CONSIDERED TRYING IT AND RAN OUT OF TIME

<Scout> Oh, I love the idea of little seed packets. As an avid gardener, I always have seeds around from my plants and maybe it would be a little classier to put them in one of these to give out. good idea!

<Holly> I like the eyelet idea Debbie

<jenmist> I SAW A SYMPATHY CARD ONCE WITH SEEDS IN IT

<jenmist> IT SAID A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER IS GONE FROM THE GARDEN

<jenmist> PLANT A MEMORY

<debbie_in_> well...considering I ordered one...got it...and now don't know where its at...y'all let me know if it works...LOL

<Holly> oh, I like that!

<rabbit_wit> very nice jen

<jenmist> IT WAS PRETTY

<Holly> debbie, you are going to buy another one

<debbie_in_> well............I will look some more before I do.......but if you saw this mess of stuff...you would pass out

<jenmist> THE NICE THING ABOUT THESE IS YOU CAN MAKE THEM VERY SIMPLE OR GET MORE ELABORATE

<Holly> the seeds for the sympathy card should definitely be perinnials.

<jenmist> THE YELLOW ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND IT IS VERY SIMPLE

<jenmist> GOOD POINT HOLLY

<Scout> No, it would just look like my house. I'm an avid gardener, definitely not an avid housekeeper.

<jenmist> HOUSEKEEPER - WHAT IS THAT?

<Cher> jen, thank you for a wonderful class! I have to go, but love your samples and direction!

<jenmist> ANYTIME

<RubberRabb> These little purses are a really great idea jen

<jenmist> TY FOR COMING

<RubberRabb> thanks for sharing

<Holly> scout if you lived here I would take care of your house if you took care of my garden

<Cher> ty!!

<jenmist> IT WAS FUN FOR ME TOO

<LiBsTeR> sorry I missed the class, but you have great instructions! LOL

<Holly> Thanks Jen. I can't wait to try these

<jenmist> LOL

<kat> great class Jen

<jenmist> TY

<deb> jen alwasy has the coolest classes

<debbie_in_> yeah...but this is from 26 years of crafting...and I have no one around here to help me use this stuff up

<jenmist> THANKS!

Holly now understands why Jen's instruction page was in CAPS

<AmyLPR> very fun

<jenmist> ROFL HOLLY

<deb> lol

<MomCat> Great Class, Jen! Thanks!

<deb> she's also very clever LOL

<cak> yes, thanks jen--great class, lovely pages and lots of great ideas from everyone

<jenmist> it bugged DH to no end when he was getting the page ready

<Holly> someone should have told me that secret

RubberRabbit watches deb bounce when she smacks her with the rubber trout

<vicki> jen, great class, thanks

<jenmist> YW

<debbie_in_> This was a wonderful class...and you are a great teacher...thanks so much...I will be making some of these for sure...

<MomCat> Class is officially over?

<jenmist> I have had lots of fun with these all week

<RubberRabb> ok did I smack everyone who needed it?

<jenmist> caps are off

<jenmist> i am on convention mode still I guess

<vicki> roflmao

RubberRabbit oh forgot> smacks the anaconda with the python's trout

Anaconda grabs and swallows the trout

<AmyLPR> lol

<jenmist> these really are easy tho - not a lot to teach

RubberRabbit hops into jen's lap

<deb> these look so fun jen

<jenmist> most of you could make from seeing the picture

<vicki> anaconda's eat rabbits, too!!!!

<cak> yeah, but the ideas just flowed tonight

<deb> that's ok - it allows us to ask questions

RubberRabbit makes faces at the anaconda

<deb> and to get our creative juices flowing

<deb> or erupting in some cases

<jenmist> there were great ideas

<jenmist> rofl

<Holly> that's one of the greatest things about the classes is you get so many ideas

<deb> lol

<jenmist> yes

<LiBsTeR> thanks Jen, I bookmarked the site
