Paper Bead Swap Information and Help UPDATE

[Suzan]

Ok, all done, but not posting till Monday . . . it's Saturday morning & the you know what at you know where is not open & you know who just does not have the energy to go that extra 44kms — you know why!

Apologies on behalf of you know who's utter laziness . . .

Whizzy don't worry about return postage on your envelope. Our postal service won't use it. So don't worry, and give the you know who's at the you know what some major attitude.

I managed to get an IRC earlier in the week, fingers crossed it'll be enough (although with my luck lately it won't be) because I/the ATC Guardian/the PO shortchanged KB & she wouldn't let me PP her!!!

Beads finished and posted in a couple of hours. I will fast post. I feel so sorry for anyone getting my interesting lumps and I only figured out how to coat them properly on the last bead. So good luck to whoever gets that one. I made them all the same out of the same card stock I stamped. So when you see mine and get upset, please don't, everyone got the same awful beads. I am sorry but I tried.
I have no idea what Whizzy just said above.

For you two over the pond. Don't put return postage on the the envelopes. Our post office won't accept them. So don't waste the money. Just send chocolate next time and we will all be fine. LOL. Don't worry my lumps are the same way. That is the purpose of this is to learn.

If they were perfect beads, they would be made by a machine...I like imperfections! It means someone took the time to actually put a little of themselves into it

[Suzan]

Well mine looked a lot better after glazing them. It really does bring out the color of the bead. Hubby even noticed that.

Well, then, I put a whole lot of myself into this project!

lol Elizabeth!

Even on the last bead, I haven't figured out how to get the lumps out. I even burned a few while trying to get them lump free....threw those out.

This is totally off topic, but I am typing and noticing that spots on my screen are lighter....and looking closer, it is only the "w'"s. It like an old typewriter with a worn letter. I didn't think that happened to computers.
