Julia,
There is another company that puts out really neat EP's.  It's
called Think Ink and a friend up here in Auburn, Wa sells it.  I
have a few of their EP's now and I like those better than Comotion
or Stampin' Stuff.  They put out a neat one called Liquid Glass that
is very much like the one that Dee Greunig uses in her triple
embossing hints.  I'm glad to see that you are doing better...as to
candy...best leave well alone :) Send me an e-mail and let me know
how you are doing...I lost yours.  Here is mine:

Glad to hear about your craft room. Keep up the good work.
