<Janet> wait, TWO things for me

<joy> needy huh janet

<Janet> write down on a piece of paper www.cyberstampers.com so you don't get lost forever

<Vyx> Two things, huh

<Janet> two things.

<fab> the other?

<evo> Heyyyyy, all

<Janet> The first thing is don't ask me about my samples.

<April> hi Evo!

<Scout> hi, evo

<Janet> the second is don't mention my dog

<April> LOL

<fab> can do i hope

<April> OHHH OK

<Jambalaya> uhtoh

<Judy> dog ate the samples?

<Janet> (or my husband who swore they were going on a walk so I could photo my samples)

<Janet> they forgot something, I never did find out what

<Janet> they mighta said but I couldn't hear over all the yelling and screaming and cussing going on

<fab> so does this mean no link tonight?

<MsKitty> You werent suppose to ask about the dog Judy......LOL

<Janet> absolutely NOT!

<Janet> I have instructions. :)

<Judy> lol

<evo> am I lagging?

<fab> OK

<fab> so go for it

<MsKitty> We are ready Janet!

<Janet> just no samples, they were trampled in the mud by a lonely puppy

<Scout> Are we going to have to send the Association for Cruelty to Animals after either of you?

<Janet> WELL, MEBBE.<G> NAW, i FORGAVE THE DOG. THE HUSBAND IS STILL IN THE DOG HOUSE, THO

<Kriztina> no lag evo

<Janet> I'M JUST SLOW, EVO

<fab> sounds like he deserves it

<Jambalaya> she'd never hit the dog, but the dh better run

<Scout> Husbands do those things.....

<evo> k... just took a few minute to catch up, I guess

<Janet> NOT ONLY DID THEY COME BACK WHEN I WASN'T READY, BUT I'D JUST GOT ALL MY LITTLE PAPER ORNAMENTS STRING ON A STRING WITH THE HOLLY TREE IN THE BACKGROUND

<Janet> DOWN LOW, CUZ THAT'S WHERE THE HOLLY LOOKED THE BEST

<fab> That

<Janet> I WAS IN THE BACKYARD!!!

<Janet> NOT IN THE HOUSE.

<fab> s why the puppy could get them

<Janet> BUT DEAREST MIKE JUST HAD TO OPEN THE PATIO DOOR TO SAY "ARE YOU FINISHED YOUR PHOTOS YET?"

<Janet> AND THE DOG BOUNDED OUT BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND GRABBED THE STRING AND RAN CIRCLES AROUND THE BACKYARD

<Janet> AND I CRIED

<Scout> Do men EVER think?

<April> oh my gosh

<Janet> NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE<G>

<fab> At least the pup had fun

<Janet> ANYWAY, AND THIS WAS THE SECOND BATCH, HE ATE THE FIRST BATCH

<Janet> THIS SECOND BATCH I'D BEEN KEEPING UP ON THE FRIG

<fab> He really loves your stuff

<Janet> OH YEAH. YUM YUM

<MsKitty> Dang, hate to think what they would do if you baked!

<Scout> He must have nice multi-colored poop!

<Jambalaya> lol, he ate glitter last week<g>

<Janet> I WONDER. THE FIRST BATCH HE ATE. THE GROUP TODAY HE JUST TORE UP

<fab> Craft Dog!

<April> poor janet

<Janet> BUT THE WHOLE REASON FOR MAKING ORIGAMI ORNAMENTS...

<Scout> Well, you could pretend it's Christmas decoration that blew down.

<April> id being killing me some dog..

<Janet> WUZ BECAUSE HE'D EATEN THE TOPS OFF ALLA MY WRAPPING PAPER ROLLS

<Jambalaya> i renamed him sparlypoop

<Jambalaya> sparklypoop

<Janet> YOU COULD SEE HIS POOP IN THE DARK!! IT WAS EVO LEMON MIST!

<Jambalaya> roflmao

<evo> lol

<fab> lol

<MsKitty> Want that for an advertivement evo?

<Judy> lol

<Janet> ANYWAY, HE DIDN'T COMPLETELY EAT THE TOPS OF ALLA MY WRAPPING PAPER ROLLS, HE JUST RIPPED THEM OFF

<Janet> THE PREFERENCE OF HUNGRY PUPPIES WORLD WIDE!

<fab> Sounds like a real party dog

<Janet> HE'S CUTTING MOLARS

<Janet> OR SOMETHING

<evo> not all bad, MsKitty ;}>

<Janet> ANYWAYS, I HAD ALL THESE SCRAPS OF WRAPPING PAPER...

<Janet> AND WHAT TO DO WITH THEM???

<Scout> last week my grandsons puppy got up to the middle of the dining room table and ate a whole bowl of Herseys Treasures.

<Judy> give to Jam?

<MsKitty> lol

<Janet> SO I MADE ORNAMENTS OUTTA THE SCRAPS.

<fab> So you recycled "dog food" to make decor?

<Janet> I THOUGHT ABOUT SENDING 'EM TO JAMS, BUT THAT INVOLVED MAILING<G>

<Janet> NOT YET. THE CATS HAVE, THOUGH.

<Judy> lol, that's right!

<Scout> She had to keep a chocolate watch on him as chocolate is lethal to dogs at times. Thank god it isn't lethal to US!

<Janet> (THEY LUV THE DOG FOOD, THEN WHORF IT ON THE CARPET)

<Janet> WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY CHOCOLATE IN THE HOUSE FOR WEEKS NOW. NO WONDER I'M CRABBY

<Janet> ANYWAYS....

<Janet> (FINALLY MOVING INTO MY CLASS<G>)

<April> oh not good

<Janet> MEL!

<fab> Dark Chocolate is even healthy

<Mel> hello

<fab> I heard that somewhere

<MsKitty> Hi Mel

<Scout> not to dogs or cats, I guess

<Janet> I FIGURED EVERYBODY ENDED UP WITH SCRAPS OF WRAPPING PAPER!

<fab> Just for us

<MsKitty> Chocolate is a vegetable

<Janet> KIDS THAT CUT PAPER OUTTA THE MIDDLE FOR THEIR PRESENTS...

<Janet> THOSE ODDS AND ENDS WE HAVE

<Janet> AND SUCH PRETTY PAPER, TOO!

<fab> Nicer every year

<Janet> YOU CAN DO A TON WITH IT, SO DON'T THROW THE SCRAPS AWAY!

<Janet> AND THE LARGER SCRAPS? YOU CAN MAKE ORIGAMI ORNAMENTS!

<Scout> My whole family laughs at me for saving the paper

<Janet> I PRESENT, FOR YOUR APPROVAL....

<Janet> THE MOST COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS I'VE EVER DONE ON A CLASS PAGE...

<Scout> TADA!

<joy> be back later- husband needs the computer

<MsKitty> hb

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/birdofparadise.html

<joy> oh- now he found the stuff he needed without getting me off the computer

<Scout> oooooooh, I love it!!!

<Mel> sooo complicated looking

<Janet> I CAN EXPLAIN THIS, FOLD BY FOLD, BUT IT'S EASIER TO READ IT WITH THE PICTURES

<Janet> AND IT'S MUCH MUCH EASIER THAN IT LOOKS!

<Vyx> Oh, excellent instructions!

<evo> ohhhhhh, man, Janet... you're gonna make me think????/

<Janet> I'M DOWN TO ABOUT THREE MINUTES PER BIRD NOW<G>

<joy> so what kind of paper have you used on it?

<Janet> AND THINK HOW GORGEOUS THEY'LL LOOK IN THE BRANCHES OF YOUR TREE!

<Vyx> Standard origami instructions, no problem. But I wanna see one you've done!

<Janet> WRAPPING PAPER MOSTLY.

<joy> good idea

<Janet> VYX, YOU MISSED IT, PEPPER TOOK MY SAMPLES FOR A RUN THIS AFTERNOON

<Vyx> oh cripes

<Janet> REMIND ME TO TELL YA THE WHOLE STORY LATER, I ALREADY TOLD IT ONCE.

<Mel> bummer

<Janet> (LET'S JUST SAY THAT PEPPER IS BACK IN MY GOOD GRACES, BUT MIKE IS STILL IN DEEP DOG DOO)

<Dusty> This bird only takes you 3 minutes to make?

<fab> Here I thought the Bird of Paradise was a flower

<Janet> DUSTY? THE FIRST ONE TOOK ME LIKE 20 MINUTES

<Janet> 25 MINUTES

<Janet> WELL, A LONG TIME

<Dusty> Thank goodness.

<Janet> BUT NOW I CAN DO 'EM IN 3 MINUTES

<Dusty> It will take me that long to read the inst.

<fab> fI'll have to find a way to print it out.

<Janet> WELL, YEAH.

<fab> My printer is kaput

<Scout> But will you be able to do it in 3 min. a month from now, Janet? That's my problem.

<Janet> AND YOU ALL KNOW THE LARGEST OF EVO

<Janet> 'EVO'S SQUARE TEMPLATES??

<joy> i'm printing them now

<Janet> HOW BIG IS THE BIGGEST ONE, EVO?

<BlackCats> save it to your desktop, fab

<Janet> SCOUT, HEH, A MONTH FROM NOW WHO KNOWS.

<fab> Got to get a whole new puter.

<evo> big, Janet

<fab> I'll save the URL

<fab> Print later

<Janet> ANYWAY, THE BIGGEST SQUARE EVO TEMPLATE MAKES A BIRD ABOUT 3" TALL

<Jambalaya> it will be in the logs fab

<fab> Oh, that's great Jam

<Janet> I EVEN MADE IT EASY FOR CAK TO INSERT IN A LOG, EACH NUMBER IS A SEPARATE GRAPHIC

<Janet> I THINK THAT IS LIKE 7X7 OR SO. IT IS REALLY BIG SQUARE

<fab> That really helps when the puter gives me problems

<Janet> AND IT MAKES A PRETTY SMALL BIRD

<Janet> BUT JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR AN ORNAMENT

<Janet> (HOW'S THAT FOR A PLUG, EVO?)

<fab> So if we use a 4 inch square we might get a bird to put on a card?

<evo> 5.5" BY 5.5", Janet

* evo just checked that out

<Janet> I'LL PLUG A FEW MORE VENDORS... I USED MY STUBBY STAMPER TEXTURE STAMP TO MAKE TEXTURE ON A GOLD WRAPPING PAPER SCRAP, THEN FOLDED IT AND WOW.

<fab> I got a lot of origami squares I can try

<Janet> AND I GOT LOTS OF SCRAP WRAPPING PAPER.<G>

<fab> Does any of the back side of the paper show in the finished item?

<Janet> AND I USED MY LITTLE HOLLY STAMP ON ONE AND THAT LOOKS GREAT TOO

<Janet> LOOOKED.

<Janet> YEAH, SO I STAMPED THE BACK SIDE WITH GOLD INK AND TEXTURE PATTERNS

<Janet> SO IT LOOKS GOOD THAT WAY

<fab> I can do that too!

<fab> It looks like just two small areas show

<Vyx> Oooh. Yeah, that's always been my gripe about origami paper... Never woulda thought of stamping the other side.

<Janet> WHAT IS REALLY COOL ON THIS WRAPPING PAPER (PIGMENT INK WON'T STICK) IS THE FLUID CHALK INK PADS, AND DOCUMENT INK FOR THE BLACK AND THEN OPALITES

<fab> Might be good with the pigment inks

<Janet> BECAUSE BLACK CATS TOLD ME ABOUT DOING HIGHLIGHTS WITH THE OPALITES AND THEY DO LOOK FAB THAT WAY

<fab> What about Brilliance

<Janet> OOOO I DIDN'T HAVE MY BRILLIANCE OUT, BUT THAT WOULD WORK,

<Janet> SO WOULD STAZ ON

<fab> Remeber I'm talking about the back not the face of the paper

<Janet> OH YEAH, ANYTHING WOULD WORK ON THE BACK OF MY FOILED WRAPPING PAPER

<Janet> IT'S LIKE FOIL ON ONE SIDE AND PLAIN PAPER ON THE OTHER

<Janet> WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STAMP THE FRONT OF THE PAPERS, UNLESS I EMBOSSED THE PIGMENT INKS, THEY WERE YUCK

<Janet> AND, UH, FOLDING CRACKED MY EMBOSSING

<Janet> BUT I DID STAMP A FEW AFTER FOLDING, THOSE LOOKED PRETTY BAD.

<Janet> I'M GONNA HAVE TO PLAY WITH THAT MORE

<Janet> CUZ IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE EMBOSSING TO CATCH THE TREE LIGHTS

<Janet> ANYBODY HAVE A SUGGESTION ON THAT?

<Janet> STUMPED ME

<Judy> little bitty stamps?

<joy> holografic wrapping paper would catch the lights

<fab> and fine line stamps

<Janet> YEAH, THOSE TINY STAMPS WOULD STAMP GOOD ON ALREADY FOLDED STUFF

<fab> Hard to stamp with all the layers in the folded one

<fab> too bumpy

<Janet> FINE LINE STAMPS, EVEN IF THE EMBOSSING CRACKED ON THE FOLDING, IT WOULD STILL LOOK COOL

<Janet> I KNOW. THIS STUMPED ME

<BlackCats> why not just heat set the images without using EP?

<Jambalaya> you could just stamp with dye ink, then go back after it's folded, and highlight with glaze pens

<Janet> YOU CAN, AFTER FOLDING, GET OUT THE LUMIERE PAINTS AND DO COOL STUFF TO 'EM

<evo> You gotta "rock" the stamp, Janet

<Janet> I ALWAYS ROCK THE STAMP<G> THAT'S WHY i TRY TO GET JAMS TO DO MY STAMPING FOR ME

<evo> put more pressure on the lower layers that way

<April> sorry got kicked

<Janet> AHHHH THAT MAKES SENSE

<Regina> stamp with dye ink. fold, then unfold and run a tiny bead of G-S HYPO glue and put on fine glitter.

<April> cool

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/birdofparadise.html IS THE FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS

<Janet> OOOOOO GLITTER!!!

<fab> Just use great paper and only stamp the back

<Jambalaya> or a sailor glue pen, i love those

<Janet> OH I GET IT. ROCK IT TO GET THE LOWER LAYERS TO STAMP TOO

<evo> yep, Janet... it works!

<fab> No, to get over the folds and lumps

<Janet> VELLUM FOLDS GREAT

<fab> really?

<fab> doent crack?

<Janet> IT DOES. YOU NEED TO CREASE IT AT EVERY FOLD, THOUGH

<fab> doesn't

<Janet> THIS WAS THE THIN STUFF, AND IT DIDN'T CRACK.

<CindyC> url?

<Regina> This G-S HYPO has the finest bead. The point is like a needle.

<Janet> WHERE IT SENT THE WHITE MARKS, THAT JUST LOOKED COOL

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/birdofparadise.html

<CindyC> ty

<Janet> OR EVEN BIGGER BEADS FOR THE EYES

<Janet> PUT REAL FEATHERS ON IT

<Janet> GO TO TOWN!

<joy> I've never heard of G-S Hypo

<April> what are you making?

<fab> what is G-S Hypo?

<Janet> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THOUGH, I JUST FOLDED UP SCRAP WRAPPING PAPER

<Janet> I AM MAKING CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS OUTTA DOG CHEWED WRAPPING PAPER

<April> lol

<Mel> lol

<joy> i think I would just luminere wher the back shows up at the end instead of doing the whole back

<Janet> NOW WHEN I WAS HOME FOR THANKSGIVING, ONE OF MY NIECES TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE A DRAGON OUTTA A CANDY WRAPPER

<Regina> G-S HYPO CEMENT. It's been around since 1939 (although I haven't.)

<evo> hmmmmmmm I'm wondering if Parrot & Pudge chewed paper would work

<April> I caught the dog chewing part,lol

<Janet> SO YOU -SAY- REGINA<G>

<Janet> CAT SCRATCHED PAPER WORKS GREAT, EVO

<fab> There is a risk here that dog will attack finished ornaments on tree too

<Janet> ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN PUT THE TEETH MARKS TO THE INSIDE

<evo> :}> Janet

<Janet> GUARANTEED THE DOG WOULD

<fab> For use on higher branches only

<Janet> MY PLAN WAS TO HANG STUFF OFF THE MANTLE. TURNS OUT HE CAN JUMP THAT HIGH

<Janet> YEAH, ON THE HIGHER BRANCHES WHERE ONLY THE CATS GO<G>

<Star> Today I had to be firm. I told my furry boys they were dogs.

<Janet> STAR, THAT'S LIKE, EGO CRUSHING

<Regina> Cat & dog teeth marks make good places to randomly put glitter glue dots or plastic rhinestones.

<evo> Janet, you gotta be firm... you gotta learn to say:

<Janet> AND I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU ANYWAYS<G>

<evo> "Down, Dawg"

<Janet> SO TRUE, REGINA!!

<evo> and if that doesn't work?

<Janet> I SAY "GO PLAY WITH DAD'S STUFF INSTEAD"

<Star> Naw, they just looked at each other and started chasing and playing for which they got in trouble in the first place.

<evo> You gotta be firmer: You gotta say:

<CindyC> maisie never bothers our ornaments

<Janet> WHAT DO YOU FEED MAISIE?

<evo> "Damn Dawg, DOWN"

<Scout> You just gotta make sure you get a dog that's only big enough to reach up and pull down your socks.

<Stampverb> Maisie being your 20-year old kid? <g>

<Janet> LOL HE COMES TO DAMMIT ALREADY

<CindyC> lol verb

<Star> lol

<Janet> LOL

<CindyC> in people years maybe

<Janet> OKAY, I GOT DISTRACTED THERE...

<Janet> MY NIECE TAUGHT ME TO MAKE A DRAGON OUT OF A CANDY WRAPPER

<Janet> WHEN I GOT HOME AND STARTED PLAYING WITH ORIGAMI ORNAMENTS, I STARTED USING THE EVO BORDER TEMPLATE

<Star> you aren't suppose to be eating candy, Janet

<Janet> THE 1" BY 4" OR SO SIZE

<Mel> i would love to learn that

<Janet> SIGH. I KNOW. BUT IT WAS IN THE NAME OF ART!!!

<Star> ok, then.

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/dragon.html

<fab> Great excuse

<evo> border template?

<Janet> THIS IS WAY EASY

<Scout> Yah, I had to eat a small snickers the other day to get the purple shiny paper off it.

<Janet> YEAH, EVO, THE LONG RECTANGLE ONES. LIKE 1 INCH BY AROUND 4ISH

<fab> Some companies make stamps just to make your own candy wrap-pers.

<evo> yes...

<Janet> YOU CAN USE EVEN LONGER PIECES OF PAPER, YOU JUST KEEP MAKING MORE FOLDS IN THE TAIL

<Janet> LIKE THAT 1 INCH BY 12 INCH STRIP YOU END UP WITH AFTER WRAPPING PACKAGES<G>

<Janet> OR TWO INCH BY WHATEVER.

<Janet> THIS ONE IS SOOOO NOT EXACT.

<fab> I thought you started with a square

<Janet> YOU CAN USE JUST ABOUT ANY SIZE PAPER

<Janet> THE BIRD STARTED SQUARE

<Janet> THE DRAGON IS A LONG RECTANGLE

<Janet> CANDY WRAPPER SIZE<G>

<evo> That was on the bird, fab,,, we're on the dragon, now :}>

<fab> sorry

<Janet> WE EVEN FOLDED CANDY CANE WRAPPERS, THEY LOOKED WAY COOL BUT DIDN'T STAY FOLDED WELL

<Judy> dragon looks like advanced origami

<Janet> SO WE PULLED OUT..... THE GLITTER GLUE!!

<Janet> AND GLUED THE FOLDS TOGETHER<G>

<fab> Did I miss the url for this?

<evo> we?

<Janet> WHICH IS NOT ORIGAMI AT ALL

<evo> you and the dawg?

<Janet> MY NIECES AND ME

<evo> lol, ok

<Judy> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/dragon.html

<Janet> THE DAWG DIDN'T GET TO HELP

<purplrose> hi

<Janet> BUT HE DID TAKE THOSE DRAGONS FOR A SPIN THIS AFTERNOON. GRRRR

<Judy> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/dragon.html

<Janet> AND THIS ONE: http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/origami/birdofparadise.html

<Star> he recoginized his cousin...that's fair, Janet

<Janet> BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DRAGON NOW

<Janet> LOL!!

<Janet> ANYWAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUST FOLD AND CALL IT DONE, YOU CAN DO ALL SORTS OF STUFF TO THESE

<Janet> ANY QUESTIONS?

<Janet> (TRY THESE, THEY ARE BOTH WAY EASIER THAN THEY LOOK)

<Dusty> Can I just send you candy and you'll return dragons?

<Mel> i need to eat candy first...

<Janet> MY NIECE WROTE ME OUT THAT INSTRUCTION SHEET, SHE DID GREAT

<Janet> SURE! SEND CANDY!!!

<Jambalaya> dusty doesn't know janets

<purplrose> how these are neat

<Dusty> What's your favorite?

<Janet> LOL AND SOMEDAY, MAYBE IN THIS LIFETIME, I MIGHT MAIL YA BACK A DRAGON. BUT I'LL FOR SURE ENJOY THE CANDY<G>

<Jambalaya> janet will eat the candy, and pepper will eat the wrappers

<fab> On the dragon do both sides of the paper show in the finished item?

<Star> looks fun ,Janet. talk to you all later. Thanks a lot.

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> NO, THEY REALLY DON'T

<Janet> UNLESS YOU USE CLEAR WRAPPERS<G>

<Janet> BUT CLEAR WRAPPERS ARE FUN, CUZ YOU CAN STUFF THAT TAIL WITH GLITTER GLUE

<Janet> AND IT LOOKS WAY COOL

<Scout> aren't those called cellophane?

<evo> or Shimmer Sheen?

<Janet> UH YEAH, BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL CELLOPHANE

<Janet> SHIMMER SHEEN!!!

<purplrose> is it candy bar wrappers you are using

* evo thinks the tails would look fab with Shimmer Sheen :}> inside

<Janet> THAT AND WRAPPING PAPER SCRAPS

<purplrose> wow

<Janet> THE INCH YOU ALWAYS CUT OFF ONE END CUZ IT'S TOO LONG?

<Janet> A FUTURE DRAGON<G>

<Scout> Elise still has to try her Shimmer Sheen from EVO......(hangs her head down low)

<Regina> different colors of shimmer sheen on the same dragon

<evo> NOoooooooo, Scout!!! :{<>

<Janet> ELISE, GO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE (HA!) EAT YOU A CANDY CANE, THEN USE IT!

<fab> He needs so irridesent blue and green

<Janet> OOOO YES!!

<Janet> AND LITTLE CRYSTAL EYES

<Regina> It's good to have every color of Evo's shimmer sheen.

<fab> I want burning red eyes

<Janet> I STRUNG STRINGS IN THEIR MIDDLES TO HANG THEM.

<Janet> OH YEAH! GET SOME OF THOSE LIL CRYSTALS, I KNOW RUBBER CHICKEN HAS 'EM, FOR THE EYES

<Jambalaya> oh and while you're ordering that snowman, order the mystery stamp for december from stubby too

<BlackCats> yep, it is a very nice stamp <hint, hint>

<Janet> FOR SURE, THEY ARE. THE HEAD IS THE HARDEST PART AND THAT'S EASY. AND THEN IF YOUR TAIL IS LONGER THAN THAT, YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY FOLDS DOWN THE BACK AS YOU WANT

<joy> i think my list for stubby has grown to wonderwash and peerless too

<Janet> AND THEN BEND IT HOWEVER YOU WANT

<April> iam busy trying to paint pussy cats, again!LOL

<Janet> IT'S HARDER THAN THESE TWO, BUT STILL NOT IMPOSSIBLY HARD

<joy> yes

<Regina> Yes...we want a folding cat.

<fab> Night all, time to run

<Mel> harder than the dragon sheesh

<Janet> IT'S A 10 MINUTE FOLD (AFTER MAKING ABOUT 2 ZILLION OF THEM, STILL IS TAKING ME ABOUT HALF AN HOUR)

<Janet> THE DRAGON IS EASY! JUST TRY IT.

<April> these are very simple.. just line drawings on muslin.. but they are very cute

<Scout> Does the folded cat need a folded litter box?

<Janet> THE HARD PART IS FIGURING OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS

<April> only took me 10 years to use them,lol!

<Janet> LOL

<Mel> thats true

<April> I bought them in 94

<Janet> THE DRAGON IS MORE LIKE MAKING A LIL PAPER AIRPLANE TO BEGIN WITH, THEN SQUARING IT OFF. SORTA KINDA

<April> bhg.. iron ons

<April> LOL

<April> on the folded litter box..lol

<Janet> THE DRAGON HEAD. AND THE FOLDED LITTER BOX JAMBALAYA CAN TEACH YOU.

<Regina> Now, I can make little boxes.

<Janet> ONLY SHE CALLS 'EM UH WHAT? MYSTERY BOXES?

<Janet> NO, WONDER BOXES?

<Regina> Just have to put some sand in them.

<Janet> JAMS, HELP ME!!

<Jambalaya> easy boxes

<Janet> TELL YOUR PAGE FOR THE COOL BOXES. (IT'S A LINK OFF THE STUBBY STAMPER PAGE)

<Janet> EASY BOXES!!
