    Hi Wendy!
    
 WA> I'm glad you liked the postcards. I love rubber stamping
 WA> and the address change stamp hasn't been used much at all.
 WA> It's funny because I had another friend who asked me to
 WA> do change of address postcards for her brother and sister-
 WA> in-law who are moving. Some of them ended up being regular
 WA> cards because of me running out of postcards.  I got
 WA> paid for some of them and we bartered the rest. It is so
 WA> nice to be able to barter some of the stuff I make for
 WA> services (she does my hair for me).
    That is a good system.  I like to carter too.  but presently don't
    have anything I want to give away or trade for.....
    
 WA> I'll pick up some more postcards the end of the week,
 WA> around the 15th and would be happy to make some for
 WA> you.  If you could send $5, along with your address (since
 WA> I can't remember where I put that stuff!) that will
 WA> cover the cost of materials and postage.  I would
 WA> do them for you for free if I had the supplies on hand.
 WA> :-)  I am glad you liked them. It is actually the
 WA> first time I used that corner stamp and it worked
 WA> perfectly. (And this time I'll put your address where
 WA> I can find it!)
    Sure that I can do.  I will post you five as soon as my hubby sends
    me some money hopefully he will post me some tomorrow but I kind of
    doubt it.  we ar two ships passing in the night and I haven't talked
    to him in a week it seems.
    
 WA> Thank you for your insight with the stuff going on
 WA> personally. I'm trying hard to not post any of that
 WA> here. I will say that my crafts and projects help me
 WA> a lot to cope with stuff.
    No problem.... I really have had some struggles of my own and I know
    when someone needs a listening ear.
 WA> My mom gave me a shirt with hearts on it (or did I tell
 WA> you that already?) and I did sew my heart buttons on it.
 WA> I had some huge heart buttons that weighed too much for
 WA> the fabric, but I had some button pins so I pinned
 WA> one of them to the hat that I wear (because of being sun
 WA> sensitive) and that was fun.
    Yeah you told me about that one.  I am glad it is finished.  I have
    a band sampler that I am working on and it is going quickly.  I hope
    that I can have it done soon.  I want to frame it for my new
    apartment.
 WA> I make all different kinds of cards. Right now I have a lot
 WA> to color because I haven't felt much like coloring and
 WA> only wanted to stamp!
    I haven't felt like doing much lately either.  I have been very
    depressed and frustrated about our present move and I have been
    picked on and teased by my co workers.  They are really trying o
    help but they don't really understand.  Sometimes I think they think
    I am a dumb blonde (I am a burnette) and treat me that way.  Oh well
    it is my over sensetive feelings I guess.  Anyway I know I am very
    depressed and it is taking a toll on my crafting.
    
 WA> I make plain note cards a lot. I have over 500 stamps
 WA> (which amazes me!) I wouldn't have the room for them but
 WA> a lot of them are smaller.  This past month I picked
 WA> up some of the drawers on wheels (2 large and 2 small
 WA> drawers), 2 of those and some extra draw sets for on
 WA> top of them to put my rubber stamps and supplies in.
 WA> That enabled me to get the newsletter stuff and some other
 WA> craft stuff up off the floor and onto the metal
 WA> shelves that used to hold my stamp supplies. They are so
 WA> much easier to get at now!
    Good for you.... I am hoping to get some stuff to make my crafts
    more assessable and hopefull turn some of it into extra spending
    money for me.
    
 WA> I have sold many of my cards to friends and I made quite
 WA> a few for the "Children's Store" that is run by a few
 WA> non-profit groups, including a child prevention group,
 WA> over the Christmas holidays. I'm hoping that come
 WA> September they will want some more again.  I make cards
 WA> for my parents as well and they buy some of my
 WA> craft supplies. My sale of cards helps me pay for the
 WA> card stock and envelopes since I pay for those.
    Good for you.  Hope that it keeps going well and keeps you in paper.
 WA> Thank you.  It's still been really rough and is getting
 WA> rougher since we have to fight the insurance company
 WA> now.  Hopefully that will not be a problem.
