As Penny Powers was saying to Wendy Appgar:
 PP> I got your card in the mail Saturday and I wanted to thank you so
 PP> much for the lovely change of address cards.  My husband really
 PP> liked them too.  I was wondering if I could get about 15 more of
 PP> them as I have many people I need to notify about my new address.
 PP> Which by the way I don't have yet.  I am willing to send you some
 PP> green stuff and to cover the cards and the postage.  So let me
 PP> know how much you want.
 I'm glad you liked the postcards. I love rubber stamping
 and the address change stamp hasn't been used much at all.
 It's funny because I had another friend who asked me to
 do change of address postcards for her brother and sister-
 in-law who are moving. Some of them ended up being regular
 cards because of me running out of postcards.  I got
 paid for some of them and we bartered the rest. It is so
 nice to be able to barter some of the stuff I make for
 services (she does my hair for me).
 I'll pick up some more postcards the end of the week,
 around the 15th and would be happy to make some for 
 you.  If you could send $5, along with your address (since
 I can't remember where I put that stuff!) that will
 cover the cost of materials and postage.  I would
 do them for you for free if I had the supplies on hand.
 :-)  I am glad you liked them. It is actually the
 first time I used that corner stamp and it worked
 perfectly. (And this time I'll put your address where
 I can find it!)
 I have a friend who sends me her rubber stamps when she
 gets tired of them or ones from a set that she doesn't
 want.  I know she is not an avid stamper because she
 doesn't clean her stamps (I always have to remember to
 clean them really well when she sends them), but it is
 sure nice to get new stamps.  She sent me the corner
 stamp.  She also recently sent me some small animal
 stamps.  I periodically pick up giraffe stamps. I don't
 collect giraffe's but I do like the stickers and the
 rubber stamps.
 Thank you for your insight with the stuff going on 
 personally. I'm trying hard to not post any of that
 here. I will say that my crafts and projects help me
 a lot to cope with stuff.
 PP> So have you finished any button projects lately?  
 
 My mom gave me a shirt with hearts on it (or did I tell
 you that already?) and I did sew my heart buttons on it.
 I had some huge heart buttons that weighed too much for
 the fabric, but I had some button pins so I pinned
 one of them to the hat that I wear (because of being sun
 sensitive) and that was fun.
 Or any other
 PP> crafty stuff.  What kind of cards do you make?  Have you done any
 PP> plain note cards?  Do you sell yours in the community?  
 
 I make all different kinds of cards. Right now I have a lot
 to color because I haven't felt much like coloring and
 only wanted to stamp!  I have colored the ones that I have
 sold though. And I am working on the pages that I send
 to the few people who have a "catalog" of the rubber
 stamps that I have who order cards from me periodically.
 I sent a note to my cousin who buys cards from me 
 occasionally asking if she would want a copy and telling her
 that I'd be more than happy to mail them to her if she
 pays for the copies. 
 I make plain note cards a lot. I have over 500 stamps
 (which amazes me!) I wouldn't have the room for them but
 a lot of them are smaller.  This past month I picked
 up some of the drawers on wheels (2 large and 2 small
 drawers), 2 of those and some extra draw sets for on
 top of them to put my rubber stamps and supplies in.
 That enabled me to get the newsletter stuff and some other
 craft stuff up off the floor and onto the metal
 shelves that used to hold my stamp supplies. They are so
 much easier to get at now!
 I have sold many of my cards to friends and I made quite
 a few for the "Children's Store" that is run by a few
 non-profit groups, including a child prevention group,
 over the Christmas holidays. I'm hoping that come
 September they will want some more again.  I make cards
 for my parents as well and they buy some of my
 craft supplies. My sale of cards helps me pay for the
 card stock and envelopes since I pay for those.
 Boy am I
 PP> full of questions today.  Well I hope that you have a better week
 PP> then the last few days.  Take care and remember that you do have
 PP> friends who think of you often and do care.
 Thank you.  It's still been really rough and is getting
 rougher since we have to fight the insurance company
 now.  Hopefully that will not be a problem.
 Wendy
