As Donna Lewis communicated to Wendy Apgar's starship:
DL> I don't know how big a town you live in, but you might
DL> check out the GoodWill and Salvation Army Thrift Stores. I
DL> found a lot of rolls for about $1 - $2 that folks had
DL> donated.
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!
DL> Also, if you have a Sam's Club, I saw Butcher paper, and if
DL> it is the stuff that I think it is, (like the old butcher
DL> shops used to wrap meat in) then that would work also. I
DL> think it was about $12.00 a roll, but you sure could get
DL> lots of envelopes out of it. That's what I was looking at
DL> it for. Seems like it was 18" X 1,000 feet. Probably get
DL> close to 1,000 envelopes from one roll.
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.
