I hadn't been active ...Reba--That's funny! I hadn't been active for three years and they sent me an email a while back. So I had been trying to go there, too...but it was just "more" time on the computer when I couldn't keep up online already--duh! It does feel odd to only blog 2-3 times a week, tho, when I've been blogging almost daily for several years now. All the "deletions" have freed up my time a bit. :):)<br /><br />AliceKay--We'll figure out something, I have no doubt. But I just haven't wanted to deal with them yet. <br /><br />It is crazy noisy when they are working. I am running on empty--but the weekend is here--tada!<br /><br />Tori--I had hoped to go to sleep during the night last night, but was so restless. Finally got up (Sat). No workmen today, tho--so maybe I can take a nap later. Karma and I are exhausted! :) <br /><br />Thanks! We like the card design. Now, if I can ever get some sleep, I can start working on card parts. ;)<br /><br />Sue--I know people didn't mind--chuckle! We sold a lot of these at craft tables in Moorhead. It's Leah and I that are bothered by the messy backs--we are so anal--ROFL! Thanks for the idea for another option. We do love laminating, tho, because they last for years and years when protected like that. :)<br /><br />Cooled off here a lot the last three days! Chilly at night--40s! By rights--should be awesome sleeping weather--hehe! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-22654942715077401592010-09-04T10:27:56.963-05:002010-09-04T10:27:56.963-05:00Iggy--James Taylor! Right! I might have to go fi...Iggy--James Taylor! Right! I might have to go find that on youtube--hehe! ;)<br /><br />I've always been amazed that some cultures do use those hard pillows--head rests is more like it. Maybe Karma was a Siamese in her last incarnation? ROFL!! ;)<br /><br />Serena--I know! Come on--34? She looked very nervous as we were walking up to the building. We could see her trying to trim a couple of them down to see how bad they looked (or so we wouldn't think they looked as bad, is more like it). I'm sure she expected a meltdown. Just sadness and shock. Not because it didn't work, but because she wrecked so many of them.<br /><br />Might do that--some the plain, cleaner tree look. Thanks! :)<br /><br />Lynn--Karma of the jungle--hehe! <br /><br />Yes--bummer. I haven't touched them since (It's Saturday). Just needed some time before I handled them, you know? It's okay. We'll come up with something we like that will work well--never fear. :)<br /><br />You'll see Leah on this video--and hear me. I'm the camera lady. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-34984100631896315182010-09-03T14:21:40.278-05:002010-09-03T14:21:40.278-05:00Don't know if any of this will help or not. W...Don't know if any of this will help or not. When I was making bookmarks, I didn't put a backing on them before laminating and people didn't mind seeing the paint on the back. I stamped my name on the back first. They were able to put them fairly close in the laminator, then I trimmed them close to the edges, so you might be able to still salvage some of them, or if they didn't seal well, pull them apart. Another way is instead of laminating them, spray them with a fixatif or sealer or use acrylic paint watered down to get the same effect. When I had mine laminated, they always had to let it heat up for awhile to get it good and hot before putting the bookmarks through. Some of them still didn't seal and she said it was something to do with the paint, which is why I started sealing them with a spray instead.<br /><br />Glad you're back to crafting again. It's trying to cool off here, but I'm hoping for a few more warm days before I have to move everything inside.akartisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887285432634127252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-82217371908267108622010-09-03T08:22:29.639-05:002010-09-03T08:22:29.639-05:00That sucks about the bookmarks.
