Here's a quick tip for when you are using brads on a stamping project:  After taking the little bitty brads out of the container that you are going to use, PUT THE LID BACK ON. Then move the brad container away from your arm.  Especially when you are in a hurry to finish your valentines to get out in the mailbox before the mailman comes.  But if you like picking up things the size of a mosquito off your kitchen floor, then this tip is not for you!

Here's another quick tip….if you have any inkling that a holiday is approaching, let's say…oh…Valentine's Day…..and you already have most of your cards made, go ahead and put those cards in envelopes and address and stamp them, just so you don't have to do it as the mail truck is coming down the street and it is pouring down rain outside.  Because getting an umbrella out of the closet will slow you down.
