As Donna Lewis communicated to Wendy Apgar's starship:

 For me, the wallpaper sample books work well and give me
 a variety of wallpaper to use. I was really fortunate
 a couple days ago. Decided to stop by the store where
 I got the last 3 sample books. They have been really
 popular so I didn't know if they would have any. But
 they had 6 and gave them all to me so now, once I am
 done with the card orders and the stuff for the bazaars,
 which will be completed on the 3rd when I give them to
 my dad for the ones that my mom is in, I'll go through
 the books. 
 Last time I found samples of wall paper with cats on
 it which I used behind a cat stamp and I also had
 pages with musical notes on it which I have used
 behind some of my instrument playing angels. It was
 something that brightened my day!

 I can get a box of 500 envelopes for $17 so in the long
 run it is easier for me to do it that way. The wall-
 paper is just something fun.
