Hi Wendy,
  I do hope first of all that things are going some what better for you.

Many of these are unmounted stamps that I have not had the opportunity to 
mount with all the fuss around here...and the rest are mounted stamps that 
are also waiting until I can get my bloody little fingers on them!
 I have been doing a bit of stamping here the last several days. I have been 
experimenting with Pergamano some and various other stamped designs that can 
be done on parchment.

It definitly sounds as though you are keeping busy with your RS'ing! and you 
are right that it can get your mind off of a zillion other things I hope you 
make some $$ from you endevor... I have not even marketed any of my cards or 
stamps in months now. This move has taken all my time and energy.  Right now 
I must get things finished here before I can dig into any new projects that 
will take up "space" in this room... but as I have mentioned before I have no 
doubt that soon enough the "space" difficulties should be resolved.

I understand well having to get a replacement pen or other items when I am 
running low.. I hate to do that... seeing I am very well stocked most of the 
time and I hate the idea of going out anywhere anymore...  Driving is just to 
stressful for me... and I only do that when I must.  
  The coloring part can be one of the more fun things to do especially if you 
are anything like me... I do one up and if I am not satified with the first 
choices I made the next one will be colored completely different.
  Have fun staying busy with all your RS'ing right now... I only wish I could 
devote more time right now to my stamping... but soon enough I will be able 
to.
Julia
