I don't bank by email. When another errand in the vicinity, go into the branch, present my CC bill, they transfer the amount that I indicate, electronically. At no fee, as I'm a senior. No delay. No cheque needed (but they don't charge me for my cheque supply: another senior benefit). No postage, either - Canada Post doesn't do seniors' benefits. o j

mfbenson - ha ha - my screen name was for my lack of vision (originally kitchen forum...) which was "I'll know it when I see it" rather than "I'll believe it when I see it". But it works for this forum better with your idea!! amysrq & roselvr - tell yourself you'll have a buyer by St. Pat's Day...keep the faith, lower the price if you have not already. Be lowest price/square foot and the next buyer will not be able to ignore you!! Good luck!!

Cathy and I are still in. My base is done. It is a pig (not very "out of the box", I know) The clay slabs I'm using for the mosaic are being fired early next week, then they'll need another fire after that, since I'm writing on them and stuff before I break them up. So, if you're stumped on a base, mine is a porcelain ginger gar on its side with polymer clay feet and ears. The stopper is a cork I ordered from widget.com Cathy's will probably be the same sort of base, but she's kind of stuck on wanting to involve part of her collection of Barbie parts.

My computer has been mostly down and out for two weeks. You have no idea how much I've missed the banter here, and I got some good laughs on this thread. It's so fun to see there are new people in the exchange....not that I've DONE an exchange before here, but I HAVE been around (here). Great fun! Isn't it interesting what you pick up when you preview your message? Geez, I had to add (here) in that last paragraph so I didn't get a bad reputation.
