<EC> yes

<ash> Yes

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> next you will be telling me ladies don't sweat, they have the "vapors"

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<stampverb> I bet Victorian-era ladies didn't have "itches!" I wonder what they DID call 'em.....

<Jambalaya> ec, to see the samples, put your mouse on url and double click

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<CindyC> 'inconveniences" ?

<Judy> horses sweat, men perspire, women glow

<MomCat> lol

<Judy> wow, Jam - you've been busy

<pmstamper> I can see Judy went to finishing school!

<Bibi> lovely samples!

* CindyC must be part horse

<Judy> yeah, right

<stubby> wow, hand did a good job on these,lol

<Bibi> hank's hand....

<Jambalaya> OK, I HAVE TO ADMIT, MY HUSBAND LOVES EXACTO KNIVES, SO HE CUT THESE FOR ME

<MomCat> Ooooh! Official teacher mode!!!

<EC> nice work

<MomCat> I guess we better hush now :)

<cak> (just consider him a tool of the trade)

<April> neato

<Jambalaya> HE ALSO HATES IT WHEN I STEAL HIS SWIVEL CLIPBOARD

<Bibi> lol

<Jambalaya> SO HE GOT TO DO THE CUTTING<G>

<stubby> hi dusty

<MomCat> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<Dusty> Hello.

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<Jambalaya> HI DUSTY, WE'RE JUST STARTING

<Dusty> thanks for the url.

<CindyC> wow jam, you have been busy!

<April> those are nice!

<Jambalaya> THESE ARE FAST TO MAKE, AND LOTS OF FUN

<Judy> (if you have Hank to cut them out)

<Jambalaya> HANK CUT 50 OF THEM IN 2 EVENINGS

<April> wow

<CindyC> wowsers

<April> hes a superman!

* CindyC found her favorite... twasn't easy to choose

<Scout> Hank must have a pressure resistent hand.

<Jambalaya> OH, I'M SORRY, IT WAS 70 IN 2 EVENINGS

<CindyC> even more wowsers!

<Jambalaya> HE'S READING OVER MY SHOULDER<G>

<April> damn

<ash> When will the punch be available?

<Judy> can we hire him?

<April> lol

<Jambalaya> HE SAYS HE COULD BE BOUGHT<G>

<Judy> rofl!

<Bibi> lol

<Scout> What kind of bribes will he accept?

<stubby> there is a punch available but they have not been delivered yet

<MomCat> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> hi mexico

<Jambalaya> WELL, I THINK HE WOULD BE A BIT HIGH, SO YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER DOING IT YOURSELF<G>

<April> do you need the punch to do it?

<CindyC> make me one in clay with those fancy fibers jam.... grin

<Jambalaya> THERE IS NO PUNCH

<Jambalaya> IT'S A METAL TEMPLATE

<Scout> My goodness, how much will this mythical punch cost?

<stubby> there is jam but they are not available yet

<stubby> not exact same shape as spirellis

<stubby> a bout $20 for the large one

<Jambalaya> OK WHATEVER, THESE ARE CUT OUT WITH THE TEMPLATES STUBBY IS PUTTING UP THE URL FOR

<MomCat> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> hi Vyx

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

* Vyx tries to sneak in late...

<Jambalaya> I SEE YA SIS

<mexico> hi Vxy

* stampverb saved seat for Vyx

<April> hi Vyx

<mexico> hi

<Jambalaya> OK THE STEP BY STEP PICS SHOW HOW TO DO THE CUTTING

<Jambalaya> HANK USES REPOSITIONABLE TAPE TO HOLD THE TEMPLATE DOWN TO THE CARDSTOCK WHILE HE CUTS

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<pmstamper> oooh, good tip.

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<Jambalaya> ON A SELF HEALING MAT, AND USING THE SWIVEL CLIPBOARD, JUST CUT AROUND THE TEMPLATE

<Jambalaya> START THE CUT IN THE VALLEY, AND CUT OUTWARD

<Jambalaya> THIS SAVES YOUR BLADE FROM HITTING METAL

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<ash> yet another good tip

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<Jambalaya> JANET!!!

<MomCat> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> hi janet

<Janet> howdy howdy!

<Tarotmama> ty

<Jambalaya> OK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CUTTING?

<cak> is it hard to get a really nice cut?

<pmstamper> Is it possible to do two pieces of stock at once, or better singles?

<Jambalaya> NO, HE SAYS TAKE YOUR TIME, AND CHANGE BLADE OFTEN

<Jambalaya> IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT NOT RECOMMENDED

<cak> cool (and I'll try not to be so cheap and change the blade)

<MomCat> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> Hi Frances

<CindyC> would it work to use a stylus to trace the template then cut out with scissors? i am horrible with a craft knife

<Jambalaya> THE CARDSTOCK WILL SLIP ON YOU

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<FrancesWV> Hi Stubby

<pmstamper> oh, good point.

<Jambalaya> CINDY, YES IT WOULD WORK

<Jambalaya> BUT

<Jambalaya> CUTTING AROUND THE TEMPLATE IS VERY EASY

<Jambalaya> THE CUTS ARE ALL STRAIGHT, SO IT'S NOT HARD

<CindyC> ok, thanks

<Jambalaya> AND THE SWIVEL CLIPBOARD MAKES IT EVEN EASIER

<pmstamper> umm, what is a swivel clipboard?

<Jambalaya> AND BTW, YOU CAN GET THOSE SWIVEL CLIPBOARDS FROMMMMMMMMMM sTUBBY sTAMPERS!

<Tarotmama> lol jam

<stubby> yeah, we got um

<cak> it's like a lazy susan without a lip and a clip (like on a clipboard) to hold paper

<Jambalaya> PAT, YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE SECOND PIC

<stubby> she is my little cheerleader

<stubby> good description cak

* CindyC is so surprised!

<cak> (without a lip, but *with* a clip)

<CindyC> coolio's

<Jambalaya> IT'S A WONDERFUL TOOL, I SWIPE IT WHEN HANK ISN'T HOME, AND USE IT FOR LOTS OF STUFF

<pmstamper> cool, looks like something I can use for sure.

<Tarotmama> you are a poet but the world don't know it cak

<Jambalaya> OOPS, FORGOT HE WAS BEHIND ME

<Judy> lol

<pmstamper> lol

<Janet> utoh

<stubby> oh no, now he will charge you rent on it

<Jambalaya> UH, ANDY?

<cak> lol Jamb (and my poetry sucks big time TM)

<stubby> yes

<Jambalaya> I MIGHT NEED MY OWN NOW<G>

<stubby> okey dokey

<cak> lol (did that appease him?)

<Jambalaya> HE SAYS HE GETS THE NEW ONE:-(

<CindyC> cost of clipboard?

<CindyC> lol

<stubby> 18.75

<CindyC> ty

<Jambalaya> OK, LETS MOVE ON TO WRAPPING THREADS

<Janet> I think Mike needs one

<Jambalaya> MOST FOLKS MAKE THIS WAY HARDER THAN IT REALLY IS

<Jambalaya> YOU JUST WIND THE THREAD AROUND THE SHAPE

<Jambalaya> DON'T GET ALL LOCKED UP IN COUNTING THE POINTS

<Judy> is there a special thread?

<cak> but all the configurations! How do you decide how many teeth to skip?

<Jambalaya> JUST LAY THREAD ACROSS IT WHERE YOU WANT IT, AND WIND AROUND THE NEXT POINT IN TURN

<cak> cool--no counting, but looking. Looking I can do

<Jambalaya> JUDY, ALMOST ANY THREAD OR FIBERS , IT'S A MATTER OF TASTE

<Judy> ok, ty

<ash> I like the 'no exact science' aspect

<Jambalaya> ON MOST OF THESE, WE USED BALGER THREADS

<Jambalaya> FIND THOSE IN NEEDLEWORK DEPTS

<Jambalaya> THERE REALLY ARE NO RULES

<Jambalaya> IF YOU WANT THE THREADS TO BE REALLY HEAVY, YOU SKIP LESS POINTS

<stubby> vicki, i wind to the right and i think you are winding to the left, do you know if there is a difference

<Jambalaya> NO DIFFERENCE

<stubby> ty

<Jambalaya> IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG AS YOU DO IT THE SAME ALL THE WAY AROUND

<ash> I'm not sure what you mean by skip less points

<Jambalaya> IF YOU WANT AN IMAGE IN THE MIDDLE, STAMP IT BEFORE YOU ADD THREAD

<Jambalaya> THEN JUST WATCH THAT YOU'RE NOT COVERING IT UP AS YOU WIND THREAD

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2843955&uid=1171869

<stubby> hi shannon

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<Shannon> hey hey

<EC> 2Does it matter if the points are an even or odd number around?

<Jambalaya> ASH, LOOK AT 6TH PICTURE

<Jambalaya> NO EC, IT DOESN'T MATTER

<Jambalaya> ASH, WHEN YOU LAY THE FIRST WRAP, YOU HAVE SO MANY POINTS BETWEEN WHERE IT COMES UP AND WHERE IT GOES DOWN

<Jambalaya> IF YOU WANT THE HOLE IN THE CENTER TO BE SMALL, YOU SKIP LESS POINTS

<Jambalaya> WITH ME?

<ash> I must be on another planet

<ash> I don't see where you've skipped any points

<Janet> OH I get it!

<FrancesWV> I get it, believe it or not!

<Janet> eventually you don't skip any points, but you start at one spot and count around x number of points before wrapping the thread around one

<Jambalaya> OK ,

<Janet> x being however many

<FrancesWV> If you want a wide circle, you would only string between a few points, if you want a small circle, you would string between more.

<Jambalaya> ASH, THE ONLY TIME YOU ARE ACTUALLY SKIPPING POINTS, IS THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU LAY THE THREAD DOWN

<Janet> then you go back to the point next to your starter and wrap that, then go to the point next to the one you went to last time

<EC> 2How do you get the threads to make different patterns? Like a pattern with in a pattern

<Jambalaya> AFTER THAT, YOU GO UP AND DOWN EVERY POINT

<stubby> if you want a small hole you count over say 12 spaces, and start wrapping in the spaces, if you want a large hole you count over say 6 spaces and start wrapping

<April> sounds pretty easy to me

<FrancesWV> This reminds me of those thread balls people make for ornaments/necklaces,etc. Tormali? What are they called anyway?

<Jambalaya> EC, I THINK THE DIFFERENCE YOU MEAN IS BECAUSE WE USED DIFFERENT TEMPLATES

<April> tamari

<FrancesWV> Yes April!! That's it!

<April> )

<FrancesWV> Thanks!

<Janet> or else maybe the answer is that you do two or three different threads on one, with different skip ranges

<April> yaw!:)

<cak> for something so simple, you can sure vary it a lot

<April> yupp

<EC> 2I have seen where the threads make made a design with in a design

<stubby> and believe me, vicki and hank have tried them all

<Jambalaya> WHAT THIS REMINDS ME OF A LOT, IS THE STRING ART FROM THE '70S

<FrancesWV> The way the threads criss cross is how the pattern turns out. This is neat!

<April> yupp

<stubby> it reminds me of a high school geometry project

<CindyC> spirograph

<Jambalaya> YES EC, YOU CAN GO BACK WITH A SECOND THREAD TO MAKE MORE INTRICATE PATTERNS

<Vyx> yeah, exactly the string art from the 70's. :)

<Shannon> oh yeah, this is making me long for my spirograph

<CindyC> i bought a travel one... haven't played yet... lol

<April> thats what i said earlier,lol

<FrancesWV> I never could get a spirograph to work very well. I think this would be easier.

<Jambalaya> WHAT IS REALLY COOL, IS THAT THERE IS NO BOTHERSOME KNOT TYING

<stubby> vicki, did you make your nice mats with Evo's templates?

<Jambalaya> YOU JUST TAPE THE THREAD DOWN ON THE BACK

<Jambalaya> YEP, GETTING THERE

<April> great!

<CindyC> sure makes wonderful Christmas cards!

<stubby> they are gorgeous!

<Jambalaya> ALL THE CIRCLE AND OVAL LAYERING WAS CUT OUT WITH EVOLVING IMAGES TEMPLATES

<CindyC> i bet they would be gorgeous on metalic cs!

<April> yupp

<Jambalaya> AGAIN, VERY EASY TO CUT WITH AN EXACTO KNIFE USING THE SWIVEL CLIPBOARD

<stubby> that stubby sells

<CindyC> lol

<stubby> (she fusses at me when I don't advertise)

<Jambalaya> I CUT 154 CIRCLES AND OVALS OUT OF 10 SHEETS OF CARDSTOCK IN ONE DAY, USING THE EVO TEMPLATES!

<Janet> whoa

<stubby> and the swivel clipboard

<Janet> that stubby sells

<Shannon> oh that hurts me just thinking about it

<cak> wow, you and Hank like to do production work!

<April> holy crap..!

<stubby> yes janet, very good

<Jambalaya> IT WAS SO EASY, I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO RECRUIT HANK FOR THAT<G>

<Judy> do you have all your Christmas cards made, Jam?

<April> (I hate hearing that)

<stubby> you heard of the spaghetti factory, they are the spirelli factory

<pmstamper> first thing I am getting at SIA--swivel clipboard!

<Jambalaya> WELL, I MADE ALL THE SAMPLES FOR THIS, AND PUT THE REST ASIDE TO MAKE MY CARDS LATER

<cak> lol

<Judy> good start, at least

<Janet> LOL I bet Vicki was cutting all of those for her class at Stamps In Action next weekend.

<Jambalaya> NOPE, ANDY IS TEACHING SPIRELLI AT SIA

<Judy> that's in Mississippi, isn't it?

<stubby> actually that is my class and i get to show her samples

<April> yupp

<Janet> I made Mike stamp me 40 pieces with the same stamp just an hour ago, mostly to get him outta my hair but they did need to be done for my SIA class

<stubby> yep judy come on down

<Jambalaya> YES JUDY, SIA IS IN MS

<April> cool..wish i could be there:)

<Janet> come on down! it's a blast

<Jambalaya> AND WE HAVE A BLAST

<Judy> way too far from San Diego

<April> too far for me, too

<Janet> No, you'd fly to Dallas probably and then transfer planes to Jackson

<Janet> Not so far. :)

<Shannon> janet, you flying down there?

<Judy> says the world traveler

<April> for you, janet..you do it all the time..lol

<Janet> of course I am.

<Jambalaya> YA JUST A COUPLE HOURS BY PLANE, HUH JANET??

<Janet> it's too far for me to drive.

<stubby> remember janet picks up and flys to germany, nothing is far for her

<April> very true.(except NY!)

<Shannon> oh ya wimp. if you drove you could stop and stay with me a few days along the way.

<stubby> we are just a funkl cozy little stamping retreat for the week-end

<stubby> fun

<Janet> we showed the european stampers stubby stamps, they were drooling. Next year YOU need a booth at stempelmekka

<stubby> boy, i almost messed that up didn' i

<Jambalaya> UH LAFAYETTE ISN'T EXACTLY ON THE WAY<G>

<Janet> dang, shannon, I didn't think of that

<Shannon> well it could be

<cak> (LOL stubby!)

<Janet> (yeah, but it could be and then shannon could drive me the rest of the way)

<Shannon> there ya go

<Jambalaya> HEY THERE YA GO

<Janet> and wake me up when we got there

<Jambalaya> OK, WE DIGRESS

<April> (someday, April will get everyonre one to come to Corning..lol)

<Janet> yes, and I want to know all about the beads

<Jambalaya> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE WRAPPING WE MISSED??

<MomCat> not here

<Shannon> the samples are purty

<cak> Do you ever skip points?

<cak> or does that make the wrapping too skimpy?

<Jambalaya> BEADS ARE VERY SIMPLE, JUST USE A BEADING NEEDLE, AND SOME CHEAP THREAD, TRY TO MATCH THE CARDSTOCK

<CindyC> lol

<Janet> like I ever skip meals??

<Vyx> I just found out... you have to go twice around to get the string right, yes?

<Jambalaya> CAK, YOU CAN, DEPENDING ON THE LOOK YOU WANT

<Jambalaya> NO VYX, ONCE AROUND DOES IT

<Shannon> did you string any beads onto the thread while you were wrapping?

<Jambalaya> SEW THE BEADS ON AS YOU WOULD ON FABRIC

<Shannon> i'm wondering if that would make it too bulky

<Vyx> Hmm. Mine was incomplete at once around. But I cheated, and just cut around an evo template with pinking scissors.

<Jambalaya> WE DIDN'T, BUT THAT'S A GOOD IDEA SHANNON

<Jambalaya> I THINK IT WOULD WORK FINE

<Shannon> good. then try it and send it to me so i can copy you.

<Vyx> lol

<Judy> lol

<Jambalaya> LOL

<Jambalaya> HANK SAYS HE'LL TRY IT WHILE HE'S DEMOING AT SIA

<pmstamper> I have some two tone thread that would probably look good with this technique, not a metallic, more like tie dye.

<Shannon> oh faaaabulous

<April> Hank is demoing?

<Jambalaya> YEP

<April> wow..

<April> thats so cool

<April> wish my dh took an active interest in what i do

<Jambalaya> HE HAS A LIL HAM IN HIM TOO, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US

<April> LOL!

<cak> I think I know the answer, but---you can double the threads, right? (do you do them both at the same time or wrap twice?)

<April> i bet he does a great job, too!:)

<stubby> Hank is a fantastic demoing fella

* CindyC doesn't want to share her studio with dh

<April> (me either)

<Jambalaya> OK, ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON HOW ANY OF THE PROJECTS WERE MADE?

<StayC> I share, but there would be lots more room for me if dh wasn't there. lol

<MomCat> do you stamp first or wrap first

<EC> 6I made an oval shape and cut around it with scalloped scissors and wound around it with crochet thread

<Jambalaya> CAK, YOU COULD DO ANY OF THOSE METHODS, JUST DEPENDS ON THE RESULTS YOU WANT

<Dusty> What size are these templates?

<Jambalaya> MOM, STAMP FIRST

<Vyx> Yeah, how'd you attach the eyelash thread on those ornaments?

<Jambalaya> DUSTY, THEY ARE ALL SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZES

<Jambalaya> THE SMALL ROUND IS MAYBE 3"

<EC> 6that was a while back before I knew it was called spirelli

<Jambalaya> EYELAS THREAD I USED MINI GLUE DOTS AROUND EDGE, AND JUST STUCK IT DOWN

<Vyx> ah, okay

<Jambalaya> ALL THE ORNAMENTS ARE 2 SPIRELLI MEDALLIONS, BACK TO BACK

<Vyx> I love eyelash thread. :)

<EC> 6part of the message didn't come through

<Jambalaya> SO I COULD HIDE STUFF EASILY IN BETWEEN

<FrancesWV> Me too Vyx.

<CindyC> gorgeous stuff jam!

<Jambalaya> TY CINDY

<pmstamper> I see the backgrounds of some of these are stamped? or is it the texture of the paper? one with music and one looks like crackle?

<FrancesWV> Really beautiful samples

<Jambalaya> STICK AROUND Y'ALL

<CindyC> i'll take 60 in white with gold or silver threads please....

<Jambalaya> WE HAVE A CLASS SPECIAL

<EC> 6I cut an oval shape and cut arouund it with scalloped scissors

<Vyx> EC, that's what I just did to try it out.

<Jambalaya> I USED STUBBY'S NEW MUSIC BACKGROUND ON ONE

<Vyx> What's the special?

<EC> 6that was a while back and hadn't heard the word spirelli

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<Jambalaya> NOT SURE WHICH YOU MEAN THAT LOOKS CRACKLED?

<stubby> this is stubby week, all stamps are 10% off

<pmstamper> the one with candles that says warmth? Maybe it is just my screen? lol

<April> Jam, alot of the samples look very dark..is that me , or is it the puter?

<EC> 6Thank you for helping me understand better. I enjoyed the class

<Jambalaya> THAT ONE IS JUST PLAIN BACKGROUND PAT, MUST BE YOUR SCREEN

<April> ?

<pmstamper> Well, I like the way it looks, wish y'all were here to see it.

<Jambalaya> MONITORS CAN CHANGE THE COLORS

<Jambalaya> IT LOOKS FINE ON MINE

<MomCat> April, the dark ones are the digital camera

<April> they all look dark red

<April> ok

<stubby> Jam, i love the raffia one

<April> me too

<cak> I bet it's gorgeous pm--and perfect for warmth (crackle of fire?)

<Jambalaya> SO ANDY

* Jambalaya THROWS CAPS AT ANDY

<CindyC> there are several that have a crinkled paper background within the picture

<Jambalaya> TELL US THE CLASS SPECIAL

<CindyC> i like the look too

<pmstamper> yes, cak, that would be nice touch.

<Jambalaya> AND THEN STILL DON'T LEAVE

<Janet> I'd say PLEASE if I were you.

<stubby> the spirelli stencils are 10% off

<Jambalaya> JANET HAS A SURPRISE FOR US TOO

<Janet> Hey, I'm ME. I wanna say PLEASE for me

<cak> ooooo, good one stubby!

<Janet> not as much of one as I wanted to have

<Janet> oooo that is good!!

<stubby> and so are stamps during stubby week

<Janet> and all the stamps are 10 percent

<Janet> off

<cak> stamps too?

<Jambalaya> STUBBY WEEK ENDS AT MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT

<cak> wow

<stubby> yep

<Vyx> Okay... if I can only afford one spirelli stencil, which one should I get? :)

<stubby> so get your orders in early

<CindyC> which card did you like best vyx?

<Jambalaya> VYX, THE SMALL ROUND WITH MANY POINTS IS MY FAV

<stubby> shop and save at Stubby Stampers and vote for me for govenor of California

<cak> I'd get one with an irregular "tooth" 'cause those would be harder to fake on your own

<Janet> but wait until Monday morning, that is my goal for finishing my part of stubby week

<Janet> LOL

<pmstamper> lol

<Judy> lol, stubby

<stubby> http://www.stubbystampers.com/stencils/spirelli.html

<CindyC> i think i like the oval with the lesser amount of teeth

* MomCat pulls out her 6 page ballot to look for Stubby's name

<Vyx> Oval, yah... cuz I have Oval evo templates..

<April> wouldnt surprize me..everyone else is...lol

<stubby> i like the stencilswith a lot of points

<Janet> I like the blunt point points

<Janet> LOL

<stubby> sorry, i got this started, excuse me vicki

<Judy> so many decisions

<Janet> LOL

<stubby> you had such a nice class going and i started acting silly

<Janet> do as I did, buy them all

<Jambalaya> CLASS IS DONE, JUST MAKING SURE EVERYONE SAW THE SPECIALS

<Vyx> those blunt point ones look great with beads sewn on... way cool.

<Judy> ahhh - ty

<cak> but if you get a pointed one, could you use an evo template to trim the points blunt when you want (although it seems a lot of work to save a little money)

<Dusty> Great class Jam. Thank you.

<MomCat> What about Janet's 'spise?

<Jambalaya> THANK YOU FOR COMING, DUSTY

<MomCat> 'sprise

<CindyC> good idea cak

<stubby> specials again, 10% off stencils when you mention this class and 10% off stamps through Tues evening

<pmstamper> three cheers for the talented Hank as well.

<cak> very cool stuff--love the in process pictures too. They really help me

<Jambalaya> YA WHERE'S THE SURPRISE JANET?

<CindyC> woohoo!

<Janet> OH. if you all want a sneak peek at my surprise, that I'm aiming to be finished with Monday morning...

<MomCat> Thanks for a great class Vicki

<stubby> yah!yah!yah!

<FrancesWV> Are there more to come?

<FrancesWV> Not tonight, but Monday?

<Janet> (none of the links will work as that is the temporary spot, but soon all 2800+ of Stubby's Stamps will be on there)

<MomCat> very Pretty, Janet

<CindyC> what's a runtime error and why should i debug (or not)>?

<Janet> yes! alla them!!

<stubby> wow, i am looking good!

<Jambalaya> LOTS MORE TO COME

<Janet> no, blow it off, I must have a stray comma

<Janet> lots and lots

<CindyC> ahh thx

<Janet> try http://www.stubbystampers.com/new/shopping/stamps/christmas/goodies.html

<Janet> it may not be finished loading

<FrancesWV> So all of their stamps haven't already been listed? I thought they were all already on the website!

<pmstamper> oh, Vicki, is the raffia one a bow for a package? or is it a card?

<Jambalaya> nope, lots more that haven't been on the site yet

<Janet> no, just about a third were on the website. Jambalaya has been working so hard, her and Hank, scanning the other 2/3s of the stamps

<stubby> we have about 1800 more to go up frances

<Jambalaya> pat, it's to hang on a wall

<CindyC> scary

<FrancesWV> Geesh! I thought there were already TONS!

<CindyC> or door?

<Janet> and I have alla them in my hands (sorta kinda, I have the scans of them)

<Jambalaya> or door

<pmstamper> nifty, I was thinking what a great package decoration these would make.

<FrancesWV> Now I am getting excited! I love stubby's stamps!

<Janet> or husband?

<stubby> ty

<pmstamper> I like the three on the ribbon as well--that is for hanging decoration too?

<Jambalaya> yep

<pmstamper> cool--you really had some great ideas of what to do with these.

<Jambalaya> but they would look great as package decorations too

<Janet> Now y'all don't forget to go look at the site Monday morning, ya hear??

<Jambalaya> or gift tags

<stubby> frances, i look good because of janet and vicki and Hank, they keep working hard to fix and improve us, and we humbly thank all of them

<Janet> Frances, she's gonna teach that one Tuesday night

<Judy> yes, ma'am

<Jambalaya> OH YEAH

<Jambalaya> ANOTHER STUBBY CLASS TUESDAY NIGHT

<FrancesWV> OH! I thought it was just really early this morning, the 3 am class.

<Jambalaya> 10:00 PM EDT IN #CRAFTCLASS

<Janet> Well, Andy and Charles are the best of the best, it's an honor to skip sleeping for them. Besides, I love those stamps. :)

<MomCat> Frances, it was!

<MomCat> but it will also be on Tuesday evening

<Janet> And I wanna have a Stubby STampers booth in Germany next year.

<FrancesWV> Well good! Now I really didn't miss it.

<cak> I suspect you aren't the only one Janet--you say they loved 'em?

<stubby> can i go (by bus)

<Janet> oh man yes, they totally loved them

<FrancesWV> I have to say, stampers are a dedicated group, aren't they?

<Janet> sure, andy, just be sure and pack your scuba gear, you'll need it

<pmstamper> I haven't heard of a submarine-bus yet, myself.

<stubby> vicki you hear that, they are gonna build a bridge to overseas for us

<Janet> I'm guessing if I took a booth's worth of stubby stamps to stempelmekka, I could have a marvelous time on the profits the next week.<g>
