I don't even know what that word means, but I know you do it well and with lots of humor (grin). <br /><br />Your posts (this and previous) do give free advertising to this company, but they also further support my choice to not be much of a stamper. It sounds like this company needs to do a bit of market research. The fact they don't have any examples of the stamps tells me everything I need to know. Maybe you could write a review and send it to them!! OK, that was a joke, but it would serve them right if you sent your blog url to them.<br /><br />By now you have had a fun day in the sun and are lounging around getting ready for bed. I've had a near heat stroke mowing my yard, while you tell us how cool and lovely it is there. Please, please trade weather with me.

Duh! Don't get it at all. Could they be aiming at two camps - the crafter and the casual buyer who may think, <i>'oh, lovely stationery'</i>?<br /><br />As for hot weather...anyone with a neurological condition such as MS will be hiding away like me - I love to see sun, feel warm but sultry humidity is a no-no.
