Get one of the automatic air freshener dispensers and put it in your office. They have some with really light and natural scents now, including Snuggle fabric softener scent. You can adjust how often they go off, up to every half hour. Either that, or get an oil warmer and use a citrus scented oil in there.

I have had the bloom storage for a month or more now. Nothing flies out.

I started doing the small die of the month around October, I think. Last month I went ahead and signed up for the small and large value club. I've been so impressed with the kits.

We saw them perform at Dollywood a couple of years before they went on America's Got Talent. Those kids are wonderful musicians. My husband and I were completely stunned when he was arrested. Just broke my heart for those children.

If I could go back right now and see either one of my grandparents alive for even five minutes, I'd skip their funeral in a heartbeat.

Eh. For me the purpose of getting a kit, is to get an assortment of coordinated products, usually at a discounted price. If it only comes with a little bit of paper and a stamp set, I'd just use paper from my stash and choose my own stamp set each month.

I am completely unwilling to limit myself to forming deep relationship bonds with people who are "exactly like me". Actually, if everyone felt that way, none of us would ever make efforts to understand someone else. There is so much to be missed that way. Everyone brings something different to the table. I'd hate to miss out on that because I had narrowed my views so much. I rather like getting more than one point of view.
So no, I'm just not willing to cut people out of my life or refuse to be close to them because we don't agree on all things, even major issues. How else would our thinking ever evolve on any subject?
ETA: As for what I personally cannot deal with, abuse tops the list. But as far as religion, gun ownership, and the like, it holds no bearing on how I feel about a person or how close a relationship I'm willing to have with them.

Ink pads or potentially messy stuff comes out immediately and everything else is stored together until it's mostly used.

I don't have either machine, but the BSP was on my wish list because of it's increased pressure, not it's platform size. According to Sizzix, you don't use a precision base plate for intricate dies, because it has enough pressure on it's own vs. the regular BS. I actually got one of the $45 Gemini machines at HL, so that's what I use now.

Normally I order directly from the company when possible. I've found that they ship faster, cheaper, and most often include a free gift or at least come beautifully wrapped and with a personal note of thanks. It's more like unwrapping a gift than opening an order. My favorites to order directly from are WPlus9, Honey Bee Stamps, and Lawn Fawn.
Dawn Woleslagle of WPlus9 came out with a new set of stitching dies last week. In her Youtube video, she stated that because the dies were large and she wanted to keep them very affordable, she wouldn't be wholesaling them so you'd have to order them from their website. It's things like that I find refreshing.
Lawn Fawn has never failed to tuck in a free item, whether it's a small stamp set, twine, or another of their products.
Honey Bee comes all wrapped up with a note. Their stamps are such great quality, and the large sentiment sets are some of my most used.

Popping back in to tell you to also check out Honey Bee Stamps. The designs are gorgeous and the quality is great. I normally order directly from them, as well as WPlus9, and they ship same day.

I love her videos. Yana Smakula did one with 6 cards from the same kit this month as well. The two of them convinced me to order the kit.

WPlus9, and I cannot stress it enough. Beautiful designs, excellent customer service, and a wonderful Youtube channel for inspiration. I recently ordered my first of their ink pads. If I had to start over with buying ink, it would be theirs. I've heard it's the same formulation as Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts, but I swear WPlus9 stamps more smoothly.

I get what you are saying. When you heat emboss, it's really hard to get it lined back up in the corner. I have the same issue, and agree with everyone else. Taping really helps. I hadn't considered a transparency film in addition to that. I'll have to try it.

I believe this might be what you are looking for. I saw it the other day, and her room is fabulous. The Card Grotto

I would absolutely text her back. We don't want to be rude, now do we? And those texts would read: While I would love to be of help, I'm afraid I don't remember exactly where I found the plans. DH has built so many of them now that he doesn't really need them, and they have been misplaced. Pinterest, maybe? The stains are a special mixture, and I just kinda eyeball those amounts. I make about 5 gallons per batch, so it's kind of expensive, but if you don't mind the cost, I'd be happy to sell you some. As for the tools, well, those are owned by the business, and for liability reasons, our insurance won't allow the loan of those. The tools didn't cost more than a few thousand dollars, though, and are a worthwhile investment now that you intend to start building. If I can help with anything else, please let me know. We builders have to stick together!

Papergoddess, I don't think I'd risk it. If it got tipped over when traveling, my worry would be that things might spill. It also needs a fair amount of space to open fully.

I just watched a Kristina Werner video where she talked about her mail art and how she used to treat it so that it wouldn't run and smear if it got wet. Would one of the products she mentioned maybe work for you, so that you could just treat the whole thing when you finished instead of having to double ink each time you stamp? I am linking the video for you. video

I have that blossom storage and love it. It's really nice to be able to see all the small things at once. There's an amazing amount of storage in it for something that folds up to be so small. I've been really tempted to get another one.

I actually have some of the Sizzix die sets that are made specifically for pocket scrapping. Yes, it's a good investment, IMO.

How awful, for her and her family. I don't know her, but Bella Blvd is one of my favorite paper companies. I'll be praying for her and sending good thoughts her way.

I wonder if Becky is going to be wearing that awful dress when they book her on stalking charges? I can just imagine her on the news, being escorted to the back of the police car, all the while yelling her website information towards the camera.

Wood veneer and chipboard. I have a huge stash that I need to start using on cards. Turns out I don't like the bumps it leaves on the layouts when they're put into my albums.

Scrapsontherocks, my comment was in no way directed at the poster I quoted, but was instead in response to her comment about stalking. You are correct in that the quote feature is difficult on here, or at least I haven't figured it out yet. Even after attempting to edit, I still don't think I got it right.
