I found out a little something useful the other day.  I had been admiring all those cards and such made with the large embossing folders.  When I went to JoAnns the other day, with my coupon of course, I saw the Cuttlebug Embossing Folders.  As I stood there looking them over and I got to thinking that they might work with a Zip’eMate.  So I picked them up and figured I’d return them if they didn’t work.

Well, I’m pleased to report they do work!  If you use the regular mat and place a piece of acetate over the top of the folder before you run it through it works great.  I’ve been embossing like crazy now.  I sold my Zip’eMate a while back as I never used it.  Lucky for me my Mom still has hers and I’m “borrowing” it.

Today is Dylan’s first day of preschool.  He is pretty upset that he has a cold.  Frankly, I’m a little bummed out about it myself.  Nothing like a great big red nose in the photos I’ll take to scrapbook.  LOL, thats the scrapbooker in me.  Hopefully he gets there and doesn’t freak out.  He was nervous when I took him for open house and wanted out of there pretty quickly.  Wish us luck.

I just signed up to participate in a Ladies Night out benefit for Washington Elementary school in China, MI.  It’s November 16th and I’ll be selling cards.  I’ll also be representing Scrap Palace that night.  Each participant is required to make a donation of $15.00 or more to raffle off the night.  I’ll be donating a gift certificate to one of my classes.  I know it is a ways off, but I hope to see a lot of you there.  If you stop in be sure to come say hello.
