NEW! Calendar - I think it would be great to list regionals (that are open to visitors of course) and the geographic area they are in to help get more people to localized training! Anyone can add events to the calendar but only the admins listed below can edit/delete events. Note: Please remember to add the geographic area of your regional and a link to your email for more detailed information.

Jenn Nunley jenn@bestofboards.com Primary Admin of Calendar & Downloads

We will also duplicate the monthly deadline info on this calendar for easy access when you're away from home.

Jardiniere - blue iridescent marbles - sky tealightJanuary 17, 2002
Jardiniere Pic
- ooh I love this piece! And I love January Clearance sales - it's a great time to visit the home furnishings dept of your favorite department or discount stores...table cloths, placemats, napkins... they're all on sale right now - in lots of beautiful springy colors and fabrics. (This wasn't necessarily for my shows LOL - it was for my dining room) Anyway - with the message board down this morning I went shopping and bought some bright pastel table linens - and took a few pictures when I got back home. So far the only new products I have are the Candle Shoppe and the Jardiniere - but the rest are scheduled for arrival on Monday finally woo hoo!

Message Board - yes - ezboard is going through growing pains again. They are aware of the problems and are working to get the boards back up and viewable again. Patience again... go make some calls & book some shows :)p1160010.jpg (63468 bytes)

However... Marcianna sent some updated pictures as promised - with that awesome grouping idea she posted to the board yesterday - thanks - they are as beautiful as we all imagined! View All Pics

And Rachelle - there's hope - my Jardiniere arrived via UPS this morning - hopefully yours will be arriving soon too!

And yet one more variation on folders/binders.

For anyone who really wants to do the binders - but can't find the page protectors - or enough of them - I just did an entire set WITHOUT cutting pages apart - based on part Steve's folders and part another person's recent suggestion.

  1. Leave the catalog intact (this means you also don't have to worry about laminating the candle chart)
  2. Cut a strip of contact paper (or clear packing tape) - about 3" wide and the length of the catalog.
  3. For reinforcement - cut a narrow strip of plain paper - mine was about 3/4" wide and the length of the catalog.
  4. Open up the contact paper, laying it sticky side up.
  5. Put the narrow strip of paper towards the middle of the contact paper (one edge will be at the lengthwise center - and there will be sticky overlap on both sides)
  6. Press the bound edge of the catalog on the overlap sticky part - butted right up next to the narrow strip of paper.
  7. Fold the other half of the contact paper across the bound edge of the catalog - folding along the inside edge of the narrow strip of paper.
  8. Punch 3 holes in the reinforced "flap" and put the whole catty in your binder as is.
  9. Do the same when the Spring & Fall (hopefully will be back to vertical again) cattys come out.

Looks great - very easy - very cheap - very DONE. Find the 1" Avery small size View Binders at Wal-mart in the office/school supplies section. Price ranges from $1.99 - $2.34 (different parts of the country)
