Ijust realised something so profound : some people are like Packing Tape: They are more than they seem to be, jutst like the seemingly humble packing tape, they hide a million hidden talents and uses. These Packing Tape people are right under our noses, waiting to be discovered, yet will only reveal themselves to those truly worthy, appreciative and likewisely valuable. And you, dear Deidre, is utterly the Mother of all Packing Tape people!!!! Do you actually everhave time to vacuum or scrub the kitchen floor??Please tell me you are not even there so fabulously efficient? Somewhere you must have a little weak place????

I will BE SOOOO grateful to get this house sale complete, find my new abode (oh how I DREAD the in between time but keep trying to tell myself to look at it as an "Adventure", (yes, an Adventure of sorts, but NOT what I'm in need of necessarily at at 52 w/health challenges due to MS) anyway, I keep my mind looking forward to the time in months to come, when I'm settled in somewhere new. But anyway my mind's goal that keeps me going is to get SETTLED & start my CRAFTING THERAPY again!! I've been too long without it already and I am mentally focused with my "eye on the Prize" of getting crafty again and Deidre's going to be of an IMMENSE help to me in this area!! Well, break's over for me, for now. Nov 18 is approaching faster than I'm ready for! Wish me being ready on time please! DEIDRE: You're TRULY a GEM!

You can use either just make sure if you’re using the wax paper you’re putting them on the waxy side not the paper side
