Hi Julia,
 JSł  It has been a while hasn't it ?  I have been so busy... but it
 JSł sounds as though you have been just as busy if not more so....
   Well, thats just how we are huh?  :-)
 JSł  I have found these "dauber" type of embossing inks to be the best for 
e
 JSł so far... the biggest problem is getting the feel of the flow of the ink 
in
 JSł the dauber... I often get to heavy of a covering... but then patting it 
ont
 JSł my handy towel takes care of that problem.. but it take a bit to figure 
out
 JSł just the right amount to apply.  And yes I do sell them... I will send 
you
 JSł e-mail on the partictulars.
    Great because I went in search of them yeasturday and couldn't find
any.  In fact the stamp store here hadn't even heard of them.
 JSł Have you tried taking a small paint brush and applying the ink that way
 JSł onto the area that you want to cover... this is how I do it in some of 
thos
 JSł cramped  or specific areas that I want to cover....  I am able to get a 
smo
 JSł coverning this way.
 Haven't tried that.  I will now though.
 JSł   WOW! you definitly had a very crafty day didn't you... I hope the job
 JSł huting goes well for you today!!! Definitly keep us all posted on the 
progr
 JSł of finding a job.
It's looking promising.  The woman I had to talk to wasn't there today, but
one of the other people that was there talked to her about me.  I'm trying
to leave it up to God.
 JSł   The box sounds good enough to eat!!!  I have been sitting here 
hinking
 JSł of what you could do to fix it so the lid would fit correctly...not that 
I
 JSł have come up with much to suggest... the only thing I can think of is to 
cl
 JSł off from the lip of the box all the goodies you did... and then maybe 
paint
 JSł a flat line to match the rest of the primary coloring of the box... and 
the
 JSł remember for the next box to mark off where NOT to paint or embellish
 JSł . This is definitly a tough one!
  This box really is pretty.  I put a coat of gloss varnish on it last
night, but still having problems with getting the lid on and off without
pulling the paint off.  I didn't emboss the parts that are touching here.
It's just painted and varnished so I don't know what the problem is or
what to do about it.  It's really frustrating me!  Even the vaseline didn't
work and that was a very far out solution.
 JSł   Today I have a crafty day planned... Well sort of anyway.. I have 
just
 JSł finished making my first shaker card... I am pleased with how it came 
ut
 JSł for the most part... I was a bit off on the front of the card but no one 
wi
 JSł really notice that I made a small opps!
I keep saying I'm going to do a shaker card, but i've yet to do it. Right
now I have so many new things that I'm trying that my head is spinning.
I tried pressure embossing on the vellum paper yeasturday. It just wouldn't
work.  I drove all the way over to the stamp store with my card and asked
them what I was doing wrong.  She said I was suppossed to put the stencil
on the outside of the card.  Well, duh!  I never would have thought of
that. I'm going to try it again today and see if it works.  I felt so
dumb, but she said lots of people make that mistake.
 JSł   I am also doing at least one piece a day of pergamano still.. I am 
ust
 JSł loving it!
 I can't tell you how hard I'm fighting the urg to pergamano.  I just don't
want to get into the expense.  I did buy a one hole punch pergamano tool
yeasturday to use on my vellum embossed cards.  I'm  hoping it makes a nice
look.  I guess I'll know soon.
val......
