Help needed with applying lace to paper!!!!! (8 posts) - Posted On : 18 Sep 2006 11:55 PM Edit Post | Report Spam

how about a xyron? you can make it become like a sticker, and if any sticky residue is left you could use adhesive remover (looks like an eraser) to take it off. otherwise my suggestion would be to sew it on? if that`s an option...hope that helps!

What do you do? (26 posts) - Posted On : 18 Sep 2006 11:43 PM Edit Post | Report Spam

i work in at an export company and handle documents for all the goods being shipped out. i also handle inventory for our retail store and do data entry to create said documents. on the side i am trying to sell some cards, and am currently working on a project with my BIL, hopefully it`ll mean his own business if it`s successful. DH and i just moved to our present home, so once we get settled i hope to devote more time to my crafts and other things i want to do.

Need to cut down on coffee... (8 posts) - Posted On : 14 Sep 2006 06:30 PM Edit Post | Report Spam

i love tea! i hope you enjoy the switch from coffee to tea. i`m no expert, but i like most kinds of tea. if you want something hearty and bold, try a black tea - english or irish breakfast teas are wonderful. earl grey has a slight floral note and not as hearty as the breakfast teas. the caffeine level in black teas are about half of that in coffee. green teas are full of antioxidants and good for you - the caffeine level of green tea is half of that black tea. white teas are plucked while the green tea is still a baby, and provide light & delicate teas. rooibos teas have also become more widely known and makes great tea without caffeine, very good, imho. fruit flavors can be used to enhance pretty much any type of tea - white, green, black, and straight fruit teas are sometimes considered "herbal" because of their lack of caffeine. a good site to learn about the different kinds of tea is www.adagio.com hope that helps!
