Gwynne, I hate those darn Japanese beetles too. They were eating my zinnias last year, so I thought I'd be prepared this year and bought a trap a couple months ago before they even showed up here. I put it up and it immediately started catching them. I thought that would be the end of it and I wouldn't have any more problems. So I went out one day and there they were hanging all over my zinnias! Is it maybe not a good idea to put the trap up? Someone else told me that it attracts them from miles around, so maybe I've created more of a problem than I would have had without putting it up? The last few days I've been taking a cup of water outside with me and put them in that when I see any. That takes care of them. I'm considering taking my trap down. One thing I HATE about it is that it smells sooooo BAD! Seriously, I can just barely stand it. Cathy

Steve...and all...Here's a something I found on the link Marciakm posted for the tutorial.... I like to use Great White 37lb imaging and photo paper for the wrappers which is found for under $10 at Walmart, $12 at Staples. At Walmart, it is NOT in the electronics section but near school supplies where the copy paper is set up. Copy paper, fancy borders, cardstock etc, labels, and other computer print supplies. DO NOT buy the 24 lb. It's awful for wrappers. The Great White 37# is 92 whiteness and gives the best photo and graphic results I've ever seen. -- Office Max and Office Depot also carry it and when I can't find it locally, I'll order $50 of something and have it delivered to my door. Since the nearest one is an hours drive one way, that works best for me time wise. Tiger

Here's the recipe calling for Pickapeppa Sauce... Thanks for the reminder Jessy...don't know why I didn't think of it before...must be the heat here has fried my brain... Backwoods Flank Steak We love flank steak and have used it many ways. Here's the recipe we marinated it in when we had the deli. It was a huge seller. In the summer we did 25 lbs worth at a time. Never had any left to pitch. We grilled it over lump charcoal and while it was cooking we would bring the marinade to a boil and cook it for about 15 min. We then sliced the steaks and poured the hot marinade over them. Backwoods Flank Steak 3/4 C soy sauce 1/3 C Pickapeppa Sauce 1/3 C worcestershire sauce 1/4 C red wine 1/4 C red wine vinegar 1 1/2 Tabsp sesame oil 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 flank steaks (about 2 1/2 lbs total) Combine the marinade ingredients in a container large enough to hold the steaks. Add the steakes and refrigerate 6 to 24 hrs... Nancy

Hello everyone! My name is Carol Ann and I have done candy wrapping as a business for over 5 years now. My husband and I have NO OTHER source of income except candy wrapping! So far so good! LOL I have never purchased candy wrapping software and personally see no need for it. Wrappers are only rectangles which you insert a graphic into.......of course I realize there are those who are not familiar with graphics enough to do it on their own and so the software helps. I use an older publishing program called Micrografx Draw to assemble the wrapper and print. I use other "graphics" programs to create my designs to use when putting the wrapper together. Super easy! I also CREATE designs and sets of designs to use on candy wrappers....Great Sales all the time!....you might just want to take a look..... If I can be of assistance to anyone, please email me! The contact info is on my website..... www.zybertex.com Happy Wrappin'! Carol Ann
