Susan, I was taken in by the same thing. Did you get an error message saying the page couldn't be loaded? I did. I posted here for help and got nothing useful. I called my ISP and explained what happened. They suggested that since the page didn't load, I was probably okay. That wasn't reassuring enough so I did more research. I'm STILL not sure the trojan wasn't loaded on my computer. There's a free program you can download called HijackThis that lists everything running on your computer. You can print a log file and have someone knowledgeable look at it to see if something is hiding. I did the first part and now need to find that knowledgeable person. There are supposed to be expert forums online where you can submit your file log and they'll tell you if there's anything suspicious. Not sure if I feel secure using that at this point. BTW, HijackThis is rated very highly by the editors of Cnet. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: HijackThis download/review

They were 18 years different in their ages. They had 5 children, in 2 "groups." When the last two sons were born, the nurses thought the dad (my grandfather) was their grandfather. lol I saved their obits, but my grandmother didn't put his DOB in his because she didn't want people to think she was his age. Then her age/DOB is not in hers either! He died of old age, but she was severely injured crossing the street - with her sister, but the sister lived. At my grandmother's funeral, all her friends told us that she prayed every night to die so that she could be with her DH again. Moral of the story is to be careful what you ask for. Did some math: he was born in 1891 (served in WWI) and she was born in 1918 (sorry I told!). They were married when she was 19yo and he was 37yo. They were married 53 years when he passed away. The handwritten note I have framed says, "Some people can write sweet verses to tell their love. But all the sweet verses in the world and all the sweet words couldn't begin to tell you how much I love you." No year noted. :( My mom's parents married at 15 and 16yo, married 72 years when he passed away. Sorry to sort of have hijacked the thread, mtnrdredux. The box I have is by Paper Magic. I don't see the exact one at Amazon, but they have several, of course they come with cards. It's sort of like this one, but is divided in the middle: Here is a link that might be useful: [Card Storage Box link](http://papercards.com/search-details.asp?afID=va5241342917109&bcID=3&cgID=300&pg=1&itemnum=8926&imgptr=2#itemname)

I would gather ideas first. And check what paper items you may already have in the house. any decorative paper or even scrap of material. Practice using a plain paper cut to card size and start layering some of the snippets on it to form an attractive background. Then find a cute pictre of an animal or flower and carefully cut it out and glue it to the front. If you have a nice handwriting write a saying on the front. see how it looks. Then when you go to the store get a little pack of plain notecards with envelopes usually found in the card making area. look at the rubber stamps and pick out a general one that you could use on a lot of different cards and then get a black rubber stamp pad. Take those home and try the sme practice method with those. Then you can expand your supplies Hope this helps.

I second SCS. The gallery is full of wonderful ideas. I usually buy my white cardstock from Office Depot (zerox brand). I get white envelopes in bulk on e-bay once every few years. I buy vellum and other cardstock from Michael's with coupons. Their white isn't thick or smooth enough. You can get rubber stamps anywhere Michaels, Jo-Ann's, stamping-up (home based business from a consultant). Embossing powders and heat tools are fun. There are a ton of cutting products on the market - punches and dies and fancy edged scissors. Cuttlebug makes wonderful embossing folders if you are into that type of texture. Ribbons. Clear and tinted paper glazes. Scoring tools to make perfect folds. Glitter & glitter glue (stickles). Coloring tools - chalks, shimmering chalks, colored pencils, metallic pencils, markers, watercolors, shimmering watercolors, etc. It depends how fancy you want to get and how much you want to spend. Contact a stampingup demo and purchase a catalog ($10) - there are lots of ideas in it and product info or buy a cardmaker or papercrafts magazine from Michaels to get ideas and info on products.
