Recent FAQs on jeans, and one on stamping. *grin*

OK, I'll admit it--it's comforting to know I'm not alone--thank you for commiserating with me--and for sharing what brands you've had success with!  It's been a long time since I donned a pair of Levi Button Fly 501 Blues, but, I just might hafta rectify that; they are great all-around jeans!

I have no idea what the standard in height is for "petite", but I am nearly 5' 2".  Believe it or not, I am the Amazon among the women of my family and tower over my mother and sister who stand about 4'10 and 4' 11". *chuckle*  Both pairs I found were "petites".

Jeans: 

Here's what I settled happily upon, and the price, considering that some jeans go for $80+, seemed reasonable for me, considering that they fit me nicely,  revealed nothing with regards to my preferred undergarments, and would not require hemming--I couldn't find exact pictures of them at macys.com but, these come pretty close:

BandolinoBlu in "Lexi" fit   (but, mine didn't have pocket flaps; they do have decorative stitching, and copper studs, tho--I haven't bought jeans with fancy decorative pockets like these since Hash Jeans were big when I was in high school!  LOL!)

and, these:  Style & Co. Jeans  (but, mine have dark navy stitching, instead of the color shown in the picture)  Dark wash--they are more like a trouser jean--nice when you want a little dressier, but still casual look (beyond the 501's and an Old Navy fleece pullover).

Be forewarned, however:  They do have a touch of Spandex in 'em--a hint of Spandex seems to fit me better--a little bit more forgiving on those days when my willpower breaks down and I fall prey to those "make-my-butt-bigger" meals.  Sorry, but, a life lived on SlimFast is no life at all; I enjoy food.  I go to Vegas for the boo-faaaaaays, baby!!! 

Stamping:

When you make a card and the greeting extends beyond the edge of the card, how would you proceed to put it into an envelope for mailing. I think extending the greeting looks so great. --K. Dunbrook

K, I am a lazy stamper, savvy?  I could make a custom envelope using one of those envy template thingies, but, most of the time, I just make sure that the extension still allows for the card to fit into an A-2 envelope, and I'd also insert a quarter sheet (4.25 x 5.5) of inexpensive card stock inside as well, to support that sentiment extension and prevent it from getting bent in transit.

Thanks for askin'!
