I received a lovely card from Melinda! It showed the a beautifully decorated home with snowflakes bringing added beauty to the peaceful scene. Thank you, Thank you Melinda! I have addressed and licked the envelopes for my three fellow members. They will go out in the mail tomorrow. Hooray!! I have matched one word with Bingo. Hoping to increase that number in the coming days??!! perhaps ;) The family is preparing for Christmas... my son will be here for Christmas!! We are so excited about his time "off" from the Air Force. We will pick him up in Seattle this weekend and for that we are hoping for good weather. It has been in the 40's these past few days... no snow .... yet... hopefully it will remain that way until we make the drive over the pass. I hope everyone is doing well and that you are enjoying the your days as you prepare for your holiday celebrations.

Kirk, can you get the pattern on here somehow, those are so cute. Would love to make some with my GK's. They have a nice large window to hang them in. Kids looks so cute & town looks friendly,you also have a great clinic in town, don't know if you know it or not!! My friends that have property up there had a serious problem when he got weak legs & your clinic there did a 1st rate job according to his dr. down here,so Norman Rockwell town with modern caring clinic where everyone was great!! Made a very scary situation much better, they thought they would have to go to Spokane when waitress told them to go to the clinic down the street! Anyway hope you can take a pic of the folded snowflake so we can cut some ourselves otherwise you may get lot of e-mails!! What do you paint them with? Thanks! Jan

Another great list!!! BTW That one stamp lady was on Carol Duvall's today. She usually uses one stamp or set of stamps to make so many different things.

Hi Angela ! I too am addicted to scrapbooking !! If you do a search under Yahoo, Excite, or any other search engine, you should find several listings for scrapbook conventions. I received a beautiful Christmas card last year from a relative that had vellum paper on it. I will do my best to describe it. It had a decorative cardstock sheet (6 x 8 1/2) as the background(it was white with large red polka dots all over it). In the center of that paper was a lime green sheet of cardstock cut to the size of 4 1/2 x 7 1/2 that had been pasted down. On top of that she had cut the same size from a sheet of ivory vellum paper. This vellum paper was not pasted down to the lime green.. instead, it was attached by a ribbon. To do this, you simpy lay the vellum paper down ontop of the lime green card, lining it up, and punch two holes (about 1" apart) at the top of the entire stack. She then threaded sheer red ribbon through it and that is how the vellum was attached. She had printed her Christmas greeting on the vellum paper prior to attaching it to the card and when you lift the vellum paper, you will find the photo of her children. Very beautiful and creative. Needless to say, I kept the card as a "template" for invitations, birthday cards or any other reason I can think of to make this card. Just an idea!
