Hi guys. How are you? I hope you're all good. I think we're ready to go. I wasn't going to do this. I was going to tape it and I just thought, it'd be nice to go live and chat with people. So let's do that. Those of you who have been watching me for a while or know me in real life know that I don't do Christmas see things much. I've been in retail a long time or I was until I got hurt. And yeah, after you decorate like a thousand Christmas trees, it's just not your bag anymore. But that being said, I did get the impulse to create some sort of gift taggy things with the new stamps. So I do have some new stamp designs that are currently available for pre-order. And I'm going to share them with you today. This is my binder of all my stamp designs. I think it's getting too fat. I think I have to start a new binder. What do you think? So this is a mini binder. It's an Avery mini binder. And inside of it, I have the Tim Holtz cling stamp little pocket things. And right here on top are the new designs. So let's pull them out. Okay. Hey, how are you all the way from Greece? Cool. It's easier to be on camera to take all the stamps out of the binder, but when I store them, I do store them in the binder. Okay. These are the original stamp sets. All of these are available in my Etsy shop. You can get them either an unmounted red rubber and then you can, when you get them, mount them on wood blocks or on cling foam. Easy mount is the brand that I use. There's lots of different ways to use your stamps, but I use easy mount. And I just get it in like 10 sheet packs from Amazon. This is one of the old original designs. Originally, I came out with these two, which are still available. And then we had these and the birds. Hey, Tanisha, how are you? Seattle. I love Seattle. My parents live in Rochester. And then we had this one. So these are the old sets of stamps designed by me. These are the new ones. And you know, only we just, we just got the designs finalized. I literally just got my samples in. And I have to tell you, I think half of the design team said, can we have this one? So I have the feet have this feeling. This is going to be a popular one. This one is in honor of my daughter. She loves elephants. And so she says, mom, can you draw elephant? So one of the new sets. So we did. And then we have this one. And then I did it on our doll set. And then here is this one, which I love this one. And then also this one. Now, most of these designs are sized to either work in a small delusions journal or they should work real well for cards and ATCs and things. We're going to start out with this set. I'm going to pull, I'm going to pull these out just because it'll make my life easier while we're playing with the new stamps. So when you get them, you get this front card with all the pictures of the stamps on it.  And they're on the back just like this. Yeah, we love elephants around here too.  So most everything he goes, eh. All right. So we're going to start with this one, which is my scribbly handwriting.  I didn't get it. I didn't get an acrylic block down. It's really hard to stamp without one. Okay, let's get an acrylic block. Hey, Corky, how are you? Okay. Now this is the, like I said, this is, this is the set that we're working with right this second. Look at all this stuff. My table is such a mess. All right. So we're working with this one. Make sure you can see it on camera. There we go. So this one has a number of really cool designs in it. I've got the scribbly script thing out. I don't know what you call it. And it does actually have words in it. It's just not me scribbling. It actually is words that I was kind of writing over the top of each other. And I have a lot of different kinds of stamp inks out here. Some of them are like dollar 50 inks that don't really stick in the thing very well. I really want to use the purple though. So we're going to see if we can get it to work. See, this is the one I really need to stick it back in the thing because, because it's falling out. So we're not going to use that one right now because it's just going to annoy me. You know, I found was cleaning and purging and I found this stack of little mini stamp pads. I didn't even know I had. So let's see if we can get some of them to work. I don't know if they're juicy or not. Let's try them. There's a purple in here. I think I got this at Tuesday morning. I don't even know. Oh yeah, that's nice and juicy. Look at how bright that is. Oh, maybe that other one not working was a happy accident. Look at that. So these are deep etched red rubber. I got asked recently why they're deep etched red rubber and not clear. And that would be because most of my stamps, especially the ones in the beginning, have a lot that I started making in the beginning, have a lot of detail in them and you can't get some of that detail to stamp well in the clear material. Really, you do better with your deep etched red rubber. Look at how pretty that is. Just like that. Wouldn't that be a great background? I love that purple color. What is it with me in purple lately? So because I wanted to create a lot of new sets and not necessarily be concerned about having tons of inventory, I wanted to bring you guys as many designs as I could. That means I don't have that many of the sets in stock, but never fear. You can order them and they get shipped directly to you from the company that makes them for me. I hope you checked your email. I got an email from you, but it was just a Contnarta, but it was just a copy of what I sent you and I didn't see anything from you in there. So maybe you need to private message me. Okay. And then do we want to use another one from here? Maybe. Maybe, maybe. I really like the scribbly word one. Oh, no. We're going to use this one. We're going to use these arrows down here. And my cover things don't stay pristine very long. They usually get inky and spotty. Okay. And then we're going to go in with some blue. Look at this blue. And I'm going to go right over what I did already. I'm going to zoom in a little bit so you guys can see because I don't think you guys can see very well. If you mean the email Narta that you sent that you got your thing all right, that email I did get. I hope that's the one you're talking about and there's not something wrong. Narta is one of my winners and I'll be honest with you guys. There's a lot going on for me right now. And I emailed Narta and one of the other winners in a panic because I was worried I sent the wrong thing to the wrong person. Or I sent too many of something to people. Yeah. So I've just been spending the day today kind of relaxing and taking a deep breath because that's usually a sign that I'm completely overwhelmed when I do things like that. Okay. So you could just do some paper like this and then stamp it on it. Happy holidays or joy or something like that. This by itself could be cut out, punched out and be a cute card, a cute gift card. So that was the little arrow set from this one here. Make sure that I'm on camera. I have to look behind me. There we go. And again, the scribbly words were from this one. Okay. Now the art doll one. So this art doll set has a pair of angel wings. And that was done on purpose. So I'm going to pick it has three different body shapes, two heads and three faces that you can mix and match together. And I am going to pick this body here. And we're going to ink it up in black. What did I do with the black ink? And we're going to just stamp it right over the what we did already. And we're going to take one of the faces, we're going to stamp it off to the side on the white part.  Got it. Yay. And there's some different words on all the sets have words on them. And I like the one that says love. So let's grab that one again with the black. I don't know that you guys are going to be able to read it. I'm also going to take the pair of wings. I think I want to stamp them with embossing powder. I don't have a drawer full of embossing powder I like never use. So we'll stamp them with the big embossing stamp pad. Where's my little thing first? Let's do this first. Why? So there's no static on the paper. And embossing powder sticks only where I want it to. Okay. Then we are going to take some, this is old stamping up, I'm sorry, stampendis stamp and stuff, embossing powder in, I don't even know what color, stardust. I need an extra piece of paper. So cool. Okay. Let's get the rest of this embossing powder back in jar before I make a really big mess with it. Because you know my middle name is neither Grace or Patience. And I spilled Sumi ink in here the other day. So good thing it was Sumi ink. Okay, let's see. Okay, so now we're going to emboss this. So let me catch up on the comments here. I'm having a wonderful evening and I'm glad you're excited to see the new stamps. Like I said, I was going to film this and I thought, ah, let me just go live. I have time. Nobody's home. Nobody's going to be home for a while. So let's just go live. Now I'm going to cut these little pieces out. And yes, I'm going to zoom in a little more for you guys. But this little art doll with the wings would make a really cute gift card. This is just by the way, plain office supply card stock. It is nothing special. It's not anything special. Staples card stock. So let me zoom in again. That's as far as I can go. I can't zoom in anymore. And you've never stamped. You've never stamped the birds. You need to use those birds. You can't sleep. Well, at least you're on here with us, the cranky crafter. So that's all right. So now I'm going to cut all the pieces out that we stamped. Of course, on the little background that we did, I'm going to save. I'm going to save the part of it. I think we might punch it out.  I didn't get any double stick tape out before I went live. That was probably a mistake. So there's one wing. And this is just basic, you know, stamping. I'm not doing anything special. I just want to show you guys the stamps. And I think we're going to go through and stamp all the images for you so you can get a good idea. Yeah, I got to remember that the next time I can't sleep. I should just come in here and put on some headphones and turn on YouTube.   The body's pretty busy. And if you just stamp the head and face on here, it'll get lost at the same time of a wild angel. It's probably one of them little angels at the Bent Halo. I see the chat going, but I'm looking at what I'm cutting out. So hang on.  And you have this too. This could be cut out and made into a tag. And that's just the two stamps. They made something really interesting. So now we have our little body and a head and two wings. And I need to see if I can get it without creating a big mess. Yes, I got it. All right. I'm glad, Narda. So yeah, I did get that message. And then I got another one this morning that had nothing in it. So I am glad that it's okay. I am so glad because I was, you know, this week has been kind of wacky. I was sure I screwed up. So how cute is she already? Just by herself. Now you could put a little string on her head and you could write your little two and from on the back and wouldn't she be a cute little gift tag? Now we're going to give her wings.  So we're going to put some glue, some tape on here and then just arrange them. Now you could use these wings for speech bubbles. So look at that. How cute is she? You put a little tag on her head and you write two and from on the back and wouldn't she be a cute Christmas ornament or gift tag? Yeah? All right. So we are going to go through now. I just, I wanted to demo that little, that's just what you can do with a couple of the sets. And they are, at this point, all the sets are intended to be able to be mixed and matched. I'm losing my words, can you tell? Now, yeah, you could definitely use these speech bubbles.  I need some more guard stock. Okay. So she is just too cute. Let's put her up here. So this is just again plain white card stock and I've got my black archival ink pad. Let's start with, let's start with the one we started with. Let's start with this one. So we have this set here of these three, like they look like cookies to me. I don't know why. They look like macaroons. I swear that's not what I was thinking when I drew them. I guess, oops, there's no guarantee. See these studio G ink pads work well. The ink is great, but they don't stick to the container well. Oopsie. I don't think any of them are stuck down very well. See, they're very inky. It's probably time for me to let them go. Let's use some of the ones that we've been using. Do we want to use purple? Green. See, I'm thinking if I stamp these for you guys and demo them, that's great, but if I stamp them in some colors that are pretty, then I can use them later for collage fodder or to put it in Happy Mail. A bunch of these mini stamp pads, some of them are from We Are Memory Keepers. Anybody remember them? I found a stash of them hiding in a corner. Okay. I think we'll just use black for now. So here's the one that looks like macaroons. It's cute, right? That would be cute on the border of a page. So there's no trick. I'm reading back on the, I'm reading, I'm catching up on the comments. Thank you everybody. I'm glad you guys love the stamps. I'm zoomed in as much as I can be. So I'm going to just stamp them and like hold them up for you. My camera is really great. It's not that great. Just FYI. And we can stamp, a couple of them at a time. So you don't have to do anything to them. They're already on the foam that'll cling to the acrylic block. What you will notice with cling stamps is that sometimes you need to clean the backs of them with a baby wipe or maybe even a little bit of alcohol on a paper towel. I'm going to put a number of them on here on the block. And then if this cling foam is clean, it'll stick to the acrylic block. And my acrylic block is not that clean, but they stick because, well, they're really clean. And I'm glad you're going to stay up with us, Sim UK. There's no, and so there's no trick. Hey, mama cats. I'm trying to subscribe to everybody's channel. So here is five more of the stamps from this particular set. Yeah. So you could totally take the scribbled words and use them to build it up to a Christmas tree. And you could do that with a lot of these actually. So here's some more from the same step. And the this one here could be stamped in green. That could be a row of little Christmas trees on a border. So that would be cute. Yo yo. Yeah, that's good. Yo yo. Well, I just think of food all the time. So I'm crazy that way. I never get them exactly back on this cling page the exact way they come. So if you guys all have issue with that, you're not alone. KP over at Rubber Moon, who's the company that makes my stamps, they do such a good job arranging them so pretty Leon here. I never get them to look back the same way. So again, I'm going to lay a whole bunch of them on here and stamp them so you guys can see how they stamp. I love this particular border one. There is a word on here. I think it's journey. Let's see. Yeah, journey here. My, my chair, my chair is rubbing against it. Rub against table making noise. Hey, Beverly, how are you? Okay, so here's some more from this set. I think I haven't made enough. Oh, no, I missed one. There is a doodly paintbrush on here, which is a fun one. Just gotta make sure I have ink on everything. I don't know if I do, but let's see. Let's see. I should be doing this standing up, you know, because I get better leverage pushing down on the paper. And then we don't have the squeaky chair issue. So here is the rest of that particular set. Aren't they cute? And look at, can you see like the reason I have them done in red, in red rubber? Whoops, there we are. So you see how you see all my little doodly marks in this one? And they're all like that. The reason I have them done is red rubber is because you don't lose any of those doodly marks. You would lose some of those if you did them in the clear polymer stuff. Yeah, my chair is pretty squeaky too, Lisa. No worries. The arms are always rubbing against the table. See, I totally put this back wrong on the, not on there, right? Let's see. I think this one goes down here. Maybe that goes that way. I don't know. So I'm going to put this on top of here and see, I already have the front schmutz up. You see that? Already, that's okay. So this is one of the other sets, which is really cool. I know the paintbrush I think is one of my favorites. The angel. Oh yes, I can hold up the angel. So the background of her for her was done with the first set that we just used and this one that we're going to demo right now. And then the rest of her was done with the art doll set. So we'll just kind of leave her right here. Oh, can you see her? Yeah, you can see her. I got something on the computer in the way, so I can't see what you see. I know the paintbrush is my favorite. Did I miss something? Hopefully not. I tried to get somebody to come help me with the comments. Y'all were busy. Or you didn't want to be bothered because you just wanted to see what I was doing and ask questions. That's fine. Okay, so this most of the borders, you'll notice they're big. And that's because I wanted you to be able to use them on your journal pages without, you know, having to stamp them over and over again to just get one side. If you're using a journal like the size of the small delusions. This particular set has three, well, two stamps that are definitely borders and then this flower one that you could probably use as a border. Let's stamp in a different color though. So I'm not really feeling the black at the moment. Shocking because I love black. Let's grab that purple because I'm just totally feeling the purple. And stamps should be like anything else. And you should layer them. Why can't you? She could totally be a worry doll on a journal page. And I created her with the wings separate so that you could, you know, do her a couple of different ways. Look at that. They're all, I, yeah, I tried on purpose not to have them be too perfect. I wanted them to be loose and sketchy. Like you brought me your journal and I was scribbling on your journal. Not that you would want me to scribble on your journal, but you know what I mean. So when we did the doll, we used these little like arrowy chevron things from here. There's an ampersand in here and there's actually two ampersands because there's one in one of the other sets too. A lot of these small embellishments are sized so that you could use them inside the art doll set or you could use them as background in the art doll set. And we'll grab the other half. So this one has kind of a lotus-y shape in it and also the flower, which are both kind of half stamps that you could build a border with them. And let's grab, I don't know, green. Why not green? This is a really bright green. I think it's going to be pretty. I have all these random stamp pads. I need to use some of them. So I'm really bad about cleaning my stamps. You probably should clean them, especially if you use paint on them. They're high quality. They're very high quality. All right. So we're gonna go back here because we got a lot of stamps to stamp. How cool are they? I love this one, which is kind of a lotus-y shape. I did all of these on my husband's iPad Pro when he wasn't around. Instead of doing them the way I used to, which was with a paper and a pen and then having to scan them into the computer and then send them to KP. And yeah, that was a pain in the neck.  There's a couple of words. All the sets have words. These are not metallic inks. These are just plain. So this one says harmony and laughter. There we go. So that's that set. And here are the borders from that set, the two purple borders. And before somebody asks me, because I know you're going to ask me, or somebody will probably ask me, the set that we did already, this one is set number 11. We had to start numbering the sets because now I have too many of them. The set we're working with now is number seven, which is this one here. The art dolls are number 10. So this is the art doll set. They are available now. Yes. Order them now. It says pre-order because they're technically, they weren't supposed to be released until January 1st. I can't wait. I can't keep a secret. Like really? And it's Christmas time. If you guys want them for Christmas, then I want you to be able to order them. So they're available now. The only hitch is I don't have lots of inventory in stock, which isn't a problem for you guys.  And it doesn't take any extra time to get to you.  Now this is the art doll set, and I told you we have three bodies. We used this one.  There's three bodies. And you can make little worry dolls out of these, little art dolls. This set was inspired by my little art dolls or dodie dolls that I used to make. And you totally could take, like we did in the beginning, make a background with some of these other stamps in a colored ink, and then stamp the doll bodies right over the top of it. So there are the three different body shapes that you get. You get two different faces, or I should say heads. I got to stop calling them faces.  Because you know, otherwise, what was the point? Let's put this here. No, they're just wet. Yeah, and I think it's some kind of like chalk ink or something. I don't know. I found it when I was purging. What does it say? I could read the box. It's just a stackable American crafts. That's all it says. So I have no idea. Acid-free, made in China. Yeah, I don't know. I think they're just like regular, I think they're like the Studio G inks, which is a pigment ink. So they kind of stay wet a long time. Okay, now this set has the pair of wings, which we did with the embossing powder, but let me stamp them in black so you can see them. The wings totally could be used as a speech bubble instead of a wing. They would be really cute as a speech bubble. Let's put them here. I'll hold the paper up in just a second. Hey Heidi, how are you? So there are the wings. Now you totally could, instead of thinking of them as wings, wouldn't that be an interesting speech bubble? Maybe coming out of one of the art dolls or out of a drawing that you have on your page or another piece of collage. Now this set, of course, has a bunch of words on it. I do have three more designs I'm working on and they would be big designs. They wouldn't necessarily be sets per se. Two of them are related, so they may come out in a set together and then another one I literally just thought of yesterday, but I can only do so many things at once. So it's not going to happen right now. And I just tried to think about what would I like to see if I was going to buy a new stamp set, because at this point I'm pretty picky about what stamps I buy. So if I'm going to make stamps, what would I like to see? I'm okay. You know now that I've got my hair done and I'm sitting at home stamping with y'all and I'm just taking a deep breath and I'm not dealing with crazy San Jose drivers.  Why do we have to be in such a hurry that you find it necessary to honk at people? I don't understand what I'm stopping because I don't know. The light is red. There's another heart in this set because you know three in the other set wasn't enough, so I did do another one. So these are the words for that set and the heart and then these are, let's see, the doll parts. And again you can see if I hold it up close that you can see all the little doodly lines that I put in in the bodies and everything, you would lose some of that if it wasn't in deep etched red rubber. Yeah, these words are on the doll stamp set and this is doll, the doll stamp set is number 10, but each one of the Etsy listings is numbered and I think this is my favorite set of words FYI. And this set of words would be good for holiday gift tags. Okay, so that's the doll set. So now we're going to do the Homsa or Ohm set. This has another sort of lotus pattern flower and there's another ampersand. Now this hand, like the dolls, has been sized so that some of the other designs, like the hearts from one of the other sets or the stars or the little, I keep thinking of my best cookies, these little cookies or yo-yos. The paintbrush would fit in here. You actually probably could put a doll, I don't know why you do want to put a doll face on there, but you could. But we also have an eye, an Ohm symbol, a spiral. There's a lot of different symbols from these other sets that would fit on here. The arrow, these arrow-y shapes would fit on here and this also would make a good gift tag. This is set number, let me know, nine Homsa. Yes, Homsa. This was inspired by a friend of ours who brought me back a Homsa from Israel when she was there visiting her family, which was so sweet of her. She did not have to do that and it's hanging by my front door, which is where it's supposed to be hanging. Okay, so we're gonna again put a couple, gonna slap down a couple of stamps on here, stamp them all at once. Otherwise we're gonna be here all night long. Not that that's a bad thing because we all want to do art, right? You could, totally you could. He would be a cute ghost. And Lisa, you ought to think about applying to the design team next year because you keep coming up with these ideas. You're just kind of sitting in the background over there in the admins. I keep thinking you ought to be sitting in the background, not be sitting in the background. And you need to remind me about the stamp set because I think I left you off the list and I don't, I didn't intend that and I think I've forgotten which one that you wanted. Send me your address too, Lisa. I'm not sure I got them all inked well. It could be a fire with flames. And you know, you can stamp with ink, like ink pens too, like some of the distress markers and stuff like that that don't dry real quickly. So look at that because you totally could take that and put that that way. Looks completely different. This eyeball was a late edition after, as I was working on correcting some issues that we noticed with the stamps and the design, I was just fiddling around. I was supposed to be fixing some things and out came this eyeball. I don't know where the eyeball came from exactly, but it was sized to fit right inside there. I don't know. It just came out of nowhere. Out of left field. There's another heart. I think, you know, hearts I think were a thing because I think I have them on a lot of the sets. And like this one, there's some words here. So we're going to stamp the words. See if I can get them all on here. There is also another arrow, a brand, I mean, sorry, another feather and another arrow brand new designs from the original. The arrow has some similarities. The feather is completely different. Yeah, I was, I must have been in my zen place the day I did these. I wasn't having a cranky day because I do have those, but I think it was not a bad day when I was doing this. Just checking to see if I have most of it inked up because, you know, I know you're not, you're not supposed to do that. The all sing eye. Yeah. Okay, here are the other, we'll do the animals last because they're cute. So let me put these back. So when you get these sets, you know, if you're like, if it's going to bug you, not to get them back in the exact right place, you're going to be in trouble. That's all I can say to them. So there are some of the designs from this set, the words and the designs. And then there here are the other ones. In case you didn't notice, this is an ampersand and it's made out of feathers. It's super cute. They are so cute. Maybe you just need to get them all for Christmas. Okay, so here is the bit. There's two elephants in this set. There's the big elephant. And then there's a smaller one and he's got his little friend, the bird sitting on his ear. Now when we did this set, we decided to, I was only going to do the two, the bird and the elephant separate or, or them together. I wasn't going to do both. But as we were putting the set together, we really decided that we needed to have both on there and then maybe have this one be smaller. Then as I was drawing it, I decided the elephant and bird needed some friends. And yes, that means we have another bird and he's different than the birds from the original set. I can get that out in a minute for you guys. I decided to add an owl, a bunny, a little lion. I think he needs to go on a diet and the giraffe. So let's stamp our elephant. So there is our elephant. Isn't he cute? I missed a face on the doll set. So he's cute. There's our elephant. The design team members will be getting their stamp sets hopefully soon. And when they do, you're going to start seeing some of these new stamps hopefully show up in their work. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm putting those the wrong way. I like the bunny. The bunny is cute. I think we need to stamp the bunny. Now you totally could take these stamps and their die cut and they're pretty close and you could kind of stack them up and do sort of a totem pole. But you could also stamp them separately and do that. That would be cute. Let's try it. I had a couple words. That word's upside down. That's not going to help you if he's upside down. Yeah, he's a pudgy lion. He needs to go on a diet. I just want to do that sometimes, right? Am I the only one that wants to... I know it's probably just me being crazy. It's like the days I want to run people over with the car. I wouldn't really do that. You guys don't get the wrong idea. I just get annoyed. I shouldn't say those kind of things on camera. See, that's cute. I'll hold it up in a minute. I didn't quite get enough ink on the lion's feet. I think because my hand is getting tired. That's a lot of stamping. I've been playing with the stamps since they came in. And then we just have the giraffe. The giraffe is cute. And again, I was working on this set and it was missing something and I didn't exactly know what it was missing and I just was doodling. And next thing I knew, I know, see, I should run. I just want to do this. No, I'll do this. The next thing I knew, a giraffe was on the iPad. Sometimes you just want to bang it. Oops. See, look what happens. See, my hand's getting tired. Well, we got a nice ghost print. Oops. But isn't he cute? Let's try that again. Let's try to get a clean one. We'll step the lion again too because I missed his feet. Cuteness. Let's do our lion, not lion that needs a diet. Totally use your markers. I've seen a lot of people do that and I've done that sometimes. And especially with some of these stamps like the one Lotus, if you wanted to have it look more like flames like in a fireplace, then you totally could do that. You also don't always have to stamp in black ink. If you have colored ink pads, use them. I have some of these. They're little dots there in neon colors. And while I don't know they would stamp a bird in them, they are really great pads. I also have these once again that are from Hobby Lobby and I don't know where I don't know what kind of ink they are. I should have done that first. And you can totally stamp these little creatures in a color other than black. They're cute. I'm looking to try to see. Oh, there we go. There's our giraffe. There's our words. So there you go. And the animals are stamp set. Now I have all these papers for collage water. The animals are stamp set eight. So new stamp sets for 2017. A new room on my table. I haven't even been home all day. I've been out running errands and there's still no room on my table. It's because of some things just never get put away. I know you guys are all with me on that. There's no room on the table a little bit so you can see all the sets. Yeah, so the watercolor giraffe was really cool and you definitely could, you know, you could do especially if you're new to watercoloring. Why couldn't you just do an abstract watercolor background and then stamp one of these on there as the focal point? Why couldn't you or any other stamp for that matter? Of course, I'd rather you use mine but any stamp that you have. Hi, shells, how are you? So I'm just showing off my new rubber stamp sets that I'm coming out with. I'm trying to anyway. I'm going to get a room on my table. I'm going to zoom out just a little bit. So do you guys have any questions? Watercolor using distress inks on one of your stamps? Yeah. Crap, I have to pick one. Oh, no, I don't. We can use one that I print. Okay. I already printed one. So these are the stamps. So I'm going to move things around. Give me a minute. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. So we need to move stuff around here. So what I want to do is put these up here. Too much stuff on my table. And you just asked me about the distress ink, which is behind the microphone. So hang on. Actually, you know, I don't know that these won't, let's try, let's, we're going to wait. I just have an idea. Let's experiment with some of these little dots I have out because I don't think these are waterproof. Do you have a water, a water brush here somewhere? Okay. So these are the, let's, let's not dump the iPad on the table or the floor. Okay. So these are the stamp sets, which hopefully you can see. I think you can see. All right. Let's take one of the designs that we did. And we're going to work on this hamsa here. And there's a lot of different ways to do this, but you can use a, you can use ink like a watercolor. I did have a sponge.  See you later. Oh, good luck, Narda. So I'm going to test this over here first. So if you have some ink and you're not sure if you get it wet, if it's going to do anything, then test it and see. And I have this ink and I don't know where it's from. Oh, good thing I tested it. It's not doing anything. See, that's why you test. That means we need to get the distressing. So okay, I keep all my mist, my distress dots in this staples pencil box. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to cut our hand out. It's, yeah, it's cold here in California, but I won't call it freezing because, you know, it's California. We don't really, where I live in California, we don't really freeze. So if you stamp the image from any one of these sets in a permanent ink like archival or stays on or something like that, then you can go over it with watercolor paints or inks that are water soluble with no fear of the actual design going anywhere. And if you don't have watercolor paints, what do you have in your studio that's water soluble? I bet you have something. I'm going to use Broken China, I think. And I'm going to really just messy, messy, messy.  I like staples. That's terrible. That's not good news. But maybe you have a different kind of office supply store in the UK. It's just a cheap pencil, plastic kids back to school pencil box. It's not anything, you know, special to be honest with you. I also have distressed crayons. You can use any kind of water soluble crayons and we're going to be working with things like this next week in watercolor Wednesday. And this paper is just like I said before, this is office supply card stock. It is nothing special. So because of that, I am, I'm not getting it more wet because it will start to break down, which will be bad. That'll be bad. So when I first started to answer Corky, to answer your question, Corky, sorry. When I first started, I got stays on ink. That's the traditional brand. Everybody knows it's waterproof stays on. But Ranger Archival is also waterproof.   But either one, you just want to make sure it's permanent and waterproof. And then you can go over it with any of your transparent mediums you have laying around in your art room. Yeah, it's the jumbo size, which I love. I don't remember if these neon ones are water soluble or not, but I just want to stick some on there. So we're going to somebody's messaging me. Did you hear the ding? Because my phone is on. So then you can just have fun coloring them in. And I do these things kind of a lot when I'm making my little note cards. I'll do whole sheets of them. And then I'll sit like in front of the TV and I'll fussy cut the design out. And then I'll use it on a gift tag or a little note card or something like that. I don't worry too much about trying to stay in the lines when I'm coloring it because I know I'm going to be cutting it out. I just try to leave myself enough room between the images. And of course, you could color these in with pencil or anything like that too if you wanted. I would try to keep it too transparent so that you don't lose the blinds too much. I'm not doing a super great job cutting this out. So it's probably good that you're not all a close and personal with me on this. There we go. So isn't that cute? Yeah, I have the, Lisa, I'm reading the comments. And I have the black that if you're going to buy the jumbo size permanent pads and you can afford to get only one color, get black. If you can afford one more color, get sepia. The dark brown is a fabulous color to have to do these kind of things with. Yeah, so you know, it's nice to have a collection of stamp pads to have some that are water soluble, some that aren't. You totally could, again, stamp these with your waterproof ink and then go in with water soluble crayon, go in with some watercolor. You could go in with maybe you've got some watercolor markers. I have some Windsor Newton ones. I got them on sale on clearance. They were clearance the amount of a shop that I was in.  And then when it comes time to make a gift card or a tag or send out a piece of happy mail or do a journal page, you already have these. I know, right? I think it's one of my favorites. Well, they're all my favorites or I wouldn't have made them. I shouldn't pick one or the other because I like them all.  This one is from Staples, but you know, it could be from anywhere. They stay nice and tight in here. And then I just close the lid and I store them upside down and it sits in the drawer. Shipping to Greece is expensive. I don't disagree with that. Shipping to the outside the U.S. is expensive. But, Chris, maybe if you want them and maybe some of your other friends do too, you guys could go in together and whether they could be shipped together.  I don't know that for a fact, but you might check it out and see. I know when you do it through Etsy, shipping is I think $12 outside the U.S. And if there is any overage for outside the U.S. shipping, then I always refund that. If it costs more, I eat it. So, FYI, it doesn't usually cost more. Sometimes it's come a little close or if it's more, it's like 50 cents. But that's just for one set. It's, you know, it can be expensive. Yeah, so I have Christmas one year. My daughter gave me this color box pedal point pad, which I love. And I love to stamp some of the designs on it and use up all the colors at once. But the problem is, with using it, is they get all messy like that. And you can pull the pedals out. Well, some of them come out easy. Some of them don't come out at all because it's kind of stuck.  But I'll never tell my daughter that you guys don't better not blab. As far as she knows, I love it. So, yeah, so check, if those of you who are not in the U.S. and you want to buy some stamps, check and see with some of your friends, maybe somebody else wants to buy them too, and you guys can go in together and put the order in together and have the shipping be together. That might save you guys some money on shipping. And like I said, I have a limited quantity of stock here, but that's no problem because if anybody orders something that I don't have in stock, it gets made directly for you, custom, the one set, and drop shipped to you directly from the factory. And my manufacturer, by the way, is Rubber Moon Stamps. So they have a Facebook page, and they have a YouTube channel, and of course they have their own online store. The owner's name is KP. If you don't know them yet, go look them up. Go show them some love. Fabulous company to work with. And if you want to design some stamps, go to their website and get their email address and yeah, ask for KP. She's fabulous. I think that's it for this evening. I know the new ones are cool, right? So I couldn't wait any more. I've been sitting on them for a while. I couldn't wait any more. So here they are. I like them. I hope you order some of them. Christmas is coming up. Maybe you need to buy yourself a Christmas present. It is going to be hard. If I was from the outside looking in, it would be hard for me to just pick one. I have to say. So I sympathize with you. The design teams so far have liked set number eight. Let's see, eight, which is I think the elephants. Yeah. So the animals has been, they've liked eight and 11. So this one and this one. Not that that should influence you at all. But those are the two sets that you've liked so far. Well, at least you're down to choosing between two. If it was me, I'd have trouble. And just remember that I have no intention of stopping production of any of the stamps, these or the originals, anytime soon. So you can always save up for more sets. Thank you. Yeah. Heidi, you're in the US. So shipping isn't as big an issue for you. So you could get both. So I am going to do something for all of you right now that are still watching and really want to buy the sets. And I just decided to do it. It's not planned. I'm going to give you a discount code because I got to get the code. Okay. So you ready? I'm going to give you all a discount code. I'll answer that question in a minute. Here's the little angel that we did. Trying to find a piece of paper that's blank on the back. I drew on. I stamped on all of them. So I'm going to give you all discount code just because I feel like it. This discount code works on the whole Etsy shop. Oops. That's okay. So this discount code works on the whole Etsy shop. So you get 20% off everything that you buy in the Etsy shop. So if you did want to say buy all five sets, you get 20% off. It does not come off on the shipping only the product. And the unmounted red rubber is $26 a set. The cling mounted sets are 33. So second from the right. So this one. This is a good one. So again, whether you're ordering stamp sets or you're ordering digital downloads or you're ordering original artwork or anything else in my Etsy shop, this discount code works for all of that stuff. Well, you're showing up late, but that's okay because you're getting the discount code. So it's never too late. So cling mounted are like these that will cling to the acrylic block when you stamp them. Unmounted is just a sheet of red rubber. I can show you one of the other sets. So if you order unmounted red rubber, they come like this. This is the packaging for them. And I'll open this one to show you. It's just a literally a sheet of rubber like this. So you cheat of easy mount, and you're going to have to stick it to the easy mount and then cut them all out. If you order them cling, a cling set, all that's already done for you. The discount code is good for a long time. I have no intentions of having it expire right now. I shouldn't say that. I should give you a time limit. I should give you a time limit. I know I'm bad. That's bad. It's probably bad business. Yeah, there you go. It is. When you order these sets, cling mounted, they come like this and they're already cut out. They're already mounted on foam and they're already cut out. Costs a little bit more, but you don't have to go by easy mount. You don't have to cut them out and they're die-cutted. So die-cutted. That's good English. They're die-cut out. So they're really great. It's a really great cut. It's precisely done. It's fabulous. You're welcome. So for your birds, if you're ordering the bird set and you paid 26, it's unmounted and then you have to get a sheet of easy mount and you're going to have to mount it to the easy mount. If you are paying the 33, then it's going to come like this and it's already done. You're welcome, Lisa. Don't forget to let me know first about the other one that you're supposed to let me know about because I think I lost your email. I don't think you're on the list and I need your mailing address. So I'm trying to put that together for Rubber Moon. Oh, get some sleep. You need to get some sleep, the Cranky Crafter. Thank you. You are Heidi and I have that piece set aside. Thank you so much. Exactly. So for a lot of you, the 20% off is just going to mean that you get free shipping. About the water color, Heidi? Yes. I answered your message. I have it sitting here. See? It's sitting here on my desk, pulled out of inventory. Alrighty. That's it for tonight. So I'm going to put the discount code in the description below and I will, you know, hopefully I hit send on it and it's not just sitting there waiting to be sent, Heidi. You know, it's been one of those weeks. So I will edit the discount code into the description below. But yeah, go shop in the Etsy shop, maybe buy yourself or one of your friends a set of the rubber stamps. And all of the sets, including the new ones and the old ones can be bought in Kling. So say you never got any of the stamp sets and you want to get one of the older designs. Maybe this one, which was one of my first ones I came out with, you can now order this in Kling mounts. So make sure you're looking at the right listing because there'll be a one listing for the unmounted red rubber and one for the Kling. You're welcome, Greg. And I missed whatever comment you said earlier that somebody, people were commenting. I don't know what you said. I was stamping. Hey Eve, it's never too late. You're in time for the discount code. That's never too late if you can get the discount code. Alrighty. Is there any more questions? Good. Now don't forget, you know, you can use any of your stamps in conjunction with your acrylic paint, your watercolor. Don't feel like you have to just only do stamping or only do painting.  We're mixed media artists. Mix it up, spread it around and have some fun and break all those rules. Alright, yep. I got packing to do so we can get painting done. So like maybe at some point before Christmas, we can get a Christmas tree up because we're crazy and we decided to remodel part of the house over the holidays. I don't think that was so bright. And it added to my stress level, but it's done now. Alright, that's it you guys. Don't forget the most important thing besides of course shopping at Etsy shop. That would be go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Yeah. Alright, I'll see you all later. I will be back on Monday. I think we're going to paint acorns on Monday in preparation for the holidays. And I'll show you how I did the original set. And we'll be back. I don't know. I'll be back. I'll probably be here Wednesday. It's the day before Thanksgiving, but I think that I'm going to be able to do something quick. We're going to work with watercolor crayons or water soluble crayons. So we're going to do a watercolor painting, but we're not going to use paint.  And we're going to do a few of these with different kinds of medium. So anyway, that's it. Alright, I'll talk to you soon. And you can catch this on the replay if you haven't caught the whole thing. And like Eve, you're joining at the end. If you are watching, please don't forget to like share and subscribe. The discount code can be given out and used. It has and for the moment it does not have an expiration date. So I it's definitely good through January 1st, at least. Alright, that's it for now, everybody. And we'll talk to you soon. Bye, guys.


Good morning everyone. My name is Dr. Prathamesh Nank. I'm from Guam Medical College and I'm going to present the case of mycotic aneurysm. Introduction, the infected aneurysm or mycotic aneurysm is defined as an infectious break in the wall of an artery with formation of a blind secular outpouching that is contiguous with the arterial human. The non-treatment or delay treatment of the infected aneurysm often leads to fulminant sepsis, spontaneous arterial rupture and an earlier detection of infected aneurysm is critical for time to time the treatment to optimize the patient outcome. Coming to the case report, a 45 year old man with no significant prime medical history presented to Guam Medical College and hospital with complaints of non-radiating, non-specific low backache with an insidious onset over past one week. The patient also complained of bilateral pain in my last five days. Patient did not complain of fever, chills or I guess no other clinical significant clinical history could be elicited. Physical examination revealed a temperature of 98.4 degree pulse rate of 90 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 18 per minute and blood pressure of 110 by 60 mm. The heart rate was regular without a murmur, lungs were clear, abdominals soft, non-tender without any organically. The logical examination was normal. The lower limbs, however, had bilateral pyridine. Lab parameters are as follows, the hemoglobin was 8.5 gram, the hematocrit was 36% rate lead was 1.2 lakh, total liver foresight count was 32,000 and serum creat was raised which was 5.8 milligram, serum urea was 19 milligram. Microscopic analysis of the urine showed 18 erythrocytes to 46 lymphocytes and 99.8 bacteria per high power fit. The bilirubin levels were 3.2 with a direct fraction of 2.4 milligram. SGOT was 39, SGVT was 59 and ALP was 325. The serum albumin was 2.4 grams and HVA1C was 14 whereas the serum crocal was 2.9. Ecocardiography revealed my left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 45%. CT was performed, plane CT was performed after giving paroral positive contrast. It revealed an iso to mildly hyperdense lobiluted structure in the retroparitoneum in relation to the infrared in the lauta. The soft tissue collection with air globules and retroparitoneal fast stranding was also noted adjacent to the structure. This retroparitoneal collection was seen in close proximity with the bowel loop synchrony and air focacivus in tracking along the lefsoas muscle as well as in the inferior vena carot. The contrast enhanced CT scan was performed after taking the high risk consent. It revealed a large bilobiliated sodium aneurysm on the infarinal abdominal outer with a defect along the posterior wall. However, there was no extrapolation of the contrast and there was no thrombosis within the aneurysmal cell. Coming to the image, this is the plane CT with paroral positive contrast. Here reveals an iso to mildly hyperdense structure in the retroparitoneum that is surrounding retroparitoneal soft tissue collection. On contrast enhanced CT we see aneurysm of an outer with surrounding soft tissue collection and air globules. The societal reconstruction shows a defect along the posterior wall of outer with mycotic aneurysm. Coming to the discussion, mycotic aneurysm are localized irreversible vascular dilatation. They caused by weakening and destruction of the vessel wall. They caused by invasive organism. So it becomes like an infective arthritis. Due to effective and prompt antibiotic therapy, their incidence is rare but potentially life threatening. The term mycotic derives from the mushroom like appearance of the aneurysm and not the underlying microbiological etiology. They may arise through the hematogenist root, lymphatic roots, contiguous extension and direct inoculation. The patients usually often present with non-specific complaints. The most common being fibril illness within serious onset. General malaise, weight loss. Diagnosis of mycotic aneurysm relies on contrast enhanced autography. CT scan reveals a secular or multilobulated aneurysmal sac. There may be vertebral erosions. In case of autic wall rupture, contrast exacerbation will be noted with thrombus formation within the pulse lumen. Mycotic aneurysm carries a high mortality prompt treatment should be initiated using a combination of intensive broad spectrum antibiotic therapy alongside surgical repair. Based on microbiological results, further modification in antibiotics may be performed. The results of surgical repair are to confirm the diagnosis, achieve microbiological source control and prevent or contain the rupture and haemorrhage and reconstruct the arterial treat. The medical therapy alone is associated with poor outcome. Although antibiotics may control the sepsis, they do not reduce the risk of rupture of the weakened vessel wall. The surgical management of infraternial outer can be accomplished by proximal or distal arterial ligation. Endovascular repair is well established for non-infective aneurysm, but persistent infection is a strong predictor for long term mortality. Coming to the conclusion, mycotic aneurysms are rare but universally fatal without appropriate management, diagnosis and surveillance remains clinical challenges and CT angiography is currently considered the modality of choice. The surgical or endovascular intervention alongside intensive antibiotic therapy remains definitive treatment although patient must be assessed case-to-case basis. These are my references and I want to thank CTBus for giving me this platform to present this case and I want to thank everyone for patient listening. Thank you.


Procrastination is often dubbed the thief of time. Casting shadows over our aspirations. At its core, it's an offshoot of fear and in most cases, these fears are unfounded. Counteracting procrastination involves taking action. By actively pursuing your objective, it becomes challenging for procrastination to tether you to an activity. Fear is a potent catalyst for procrastination. You might fear the sting of failure or the possibility of underperforming. Sometimes this fear rises from the belief that you lack the requisite knowledge or skills. Other times, it's the daunting idea of embarking on the journey to success that keeps you rooted. A significant aspect of this is the fear is the fear of success itself. It's my sound paradoxal, but many people dread success because they believe they aren't deserving or competent enough. Such self-imposed labels tend to pick hold individuals into the realm of failure even before they've made an attempt. By recognizing and understanding these fears, you pave the way to confronting them. Empowering yourself with knowledge and logical reasoning can help dismantle these barriers.  Equipping yourself with information and knowledge can diminish these fears. Moreover, initiating steps that reinforce your self-belief can set you on a trajectory that constantly achieve your goals. However, the root of procrastination isn't always fear. Sometimes it's mere lack of motivation. The journey towards success often demands sacrifice like forfeiting leisurely weekends or foregoing personal indulgences. It's natural to occasionally grapple with motivation, but if this stagnation keeps you from realizing your dreams, it's crucial to introspect and understand the underlying reasons. Your mindset plays a pivotal role here. If you're constantly marinating in negativity or doubt, the inertia to start becoming stronger. Reflect on your definition of success and the milestones you've set. Reassessing or redefining your goals might be necessary if your procrastination stems from the belief that you lack the know-how or the skills. Invest in acquiring them, embracing your skill set not only boosts your confidence, but also reduces the inclination to procrastinate. One deceptive benefit of procrastination is the illusion of safeguarding oneself from failure. However, there's an important distinction to make. While you don't need to be flawless to achieve success, never attempting guarantees you'll never succeed. Side-stepping opportunities or challenges might spare you from immediate failures, but the long-term regret of never trying can be so more bitter pill to swallow. In conclusion, it's essential to understand the potential unexplored. Due to procrastination can leave lasting imprint of missed opportunities. Striving for success is less about perfection and more about courage and persistence. Don't let procrastination dictate your worth.


All right, I think we're about ready to get started Quick show hands who here? Uses sass or compass Awesome who uses like less Any stylus fans? Okay, cool. Who's to use just CSS? Hopefully we'll Not change your mind today necessarily, but uh show you the benefits of why we like sass or change your mind Yeah, we're not here to berate anybody And yada yada five. Yeah, there are free high fives to be had so So don't feel like you have to get everything down as far as taking notes if you want to you can download the slides now and follow along or go ahead and You know download the slides and then go see a better talk We'll have that link again at the end as well So today we're going to talk about sass and compass and Drupal And when we say sass and we say compass a lot of times we're using the two kind of interchangeably kind of like you might say like JavaScript when you're doing jQuery vice versa So hello, we like to own sass. Hope you will too or at least give it a shot I'm Nathan Smith. I do UX stuff at project 202. It has a K instead of a C in the name So you know it's cool and I used to work with Matt at HP cloud and So, yeah, so I work at HP cloud use our cloud. It's awesome Use their cloud. It's awesome. Oh wait. It's in private beta Use it when it's out of beta use it when it's out of beta. Yes, or come see me and maybe we can do something So sass and compass were made possible by These three people and a community of contributors. I just wanted to kind of put those faces up there to say that we Are power users at best, but these are the we're not worthy guys that wrote all of sass and compass So that just happened I don't know if you guys saw Anyways, I like to do kind of real-time presentations. That'll be the last mention of any of that So part one why sass? This is a key quote this was related to other browsers such as firefox Potentially planning on adopting the webkit vendor prefix because like everybody's only coding for webkit. We're getting left out So we should pretend we're webkit to get included And the key takeaway here is this line here a lot of people in Google say CSS is good for documents But not apps and he says no, it's bad for pretty much everything.  You don't have you know a lot of things that you would want from a more robust program language Um, so I mean what what can we do about CSS? So we from the show of hands at the beginning of the talk, you know A lot of us have kind of dabbled in pre-processing CSS For those that are against it I would put to you that we use dynamic languages every day to process html and the PHP stands for PHP hypertext pre-processor, you know if we're pre-processing html all the time Then why is CSS kind of a hands-off language? So I kind of think of sass and CSS This is a great picture from a blog called thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com I love that they even took the dots off the bowl But basically sass allows you to keep things structured the way that you would In CSS throughout imports, but you don't because of all the extra html requests that that would incur Whereas sass munges them down in a one nice file and minifies it for you Here's another quote from Jeff Croft. He is actually a Django guy But he uses sass and his point was that nobody pre-processed or nobody writes just html anymore So we shouldn't impose that on ourselves for CSS Now you want to talk a little bit about these GUIs So yeah, so we've got different CSS pre-processors in the beginning I think we saw some hands for some last users some sass and compass users and stylus and nib has anybody ever heard of nib So it's sort of like compass But for stylus and stylus is the kind of a node and JavaScript Type deal for sass. It's another CSS pre-processor, but for node On utility or other ways to get to it Wow, that's awesome We're styling the page first to use the wheel with your we control the snapped into it Who's the double controllers? Right, you know what I'm talking for me GUIs Some people can beat Mario Kart using the wheel and that feels like the GUI to me where it's like You know like it's not a program, you know, everybody kind of poo-poo's on html and CSS is being like oh that's for designers It's easy. It's it can't scale, you know And then compass adds like a little bit more panache to it, you know, he's got the the nice outfit going on anyways So compass is a open-source CSS authoring framework Here's a lot of lists of why things are good about it Top one is experience cleaner markup without presentation of classes But I looked at you know when I was initially getting familiar with Drupal looked at the markup that came out in this like class Not logged in class node sidebars and like okay I think I can I can jive with that, you know using classes where they're needed not necessarily to exactly describe content So I don't really care about the first point of why designers love compass for the rest. I pretty much buy into So compass is the secret sauce of sass and it extends the functionality of sass by offering a Plug-in architecture. So the way that you can have a jQuery plug-in it does that for sass And you never have to type another Brenda vendor prefix, which is awesome Like I can't tell you how many hours that's probably saved me and I'm now supporting browsers I didn't even know I was supporting just because it it does it for me So I don't have to say oh, I forgot to test an opera. It just outputs that prefix for me And as we said we'll blur the lines using compass and sass kind interchangeably today and hope you'll forgive us for the Technicality, I mean if we can call CSS HTML 5 I think you can you know let that slide So basically compass is the sass like jQuery is a JavaScript and that's a gross oversimplification, but That's a good way to think of it. I'm gonna talk a little bit about How these are different equivalent so with sass you can have two different file types there is sass files and then sc ss files and Sass files you notice you have indentation. You don't have Semicolons you don't have the brackets on the outside that we're used to with CSS It looks a lot like Ruby right with your indentation or rails anyway, and then with scss files It looks a lot like CSS, but you have some other things in there besides Your normal CSS like you can see the include some of the magic that happens So there's kind of a different in field and it's just a designer-minded person and not like a rubious myself When I first heard about it I was like oh I'll probably love scss because I'm used to all the brackets and then I realized that's actually just Unnecessary typing so I I started heading more towards sass and ended up liking sass better and the way sass works is it's all Indentation based so the next time you don't indent it assumes that that's a new style selector So here we've got dot gross with family of comic sans and if we have something below that flush left Then that would be another selector. Yeah, and I kind of came about it the same way you did I was just too lazy to type all those extra characters yep so Everything we showed today will be in sass just because that's our preferred syntax But it works just as well for scss. So just imagine these extra curlies are there So the danger of sass versus scss is that there's the temptation to indent everything the way you would in the Dom so if you have a table with the T body inside it TR TD and a with class of special link You might be tempted to indent like this to keep it nice and clean Except your selectors become really really strong because the browser has to parse all that it's got to go right to left and look Oh, I found a special link. Is it a is it an actual a tag? Yes, is it in a TD is it in a TR is it in a T body is it in a table? Then if you ever want to override the clap the color of just that special link in a particular context You need to have that same amount of selectors to get down to it to match or beat the strength of that selector So maybe that's something someone here may not have known is Browsers parse CSS and classes and everything right to left not left to right So it starts with that right most item and works its way left So the the least items you can have on the left is kind of a nice thing So in these comments that are kind of hard to read. It was basically saying maybe all you needed is special link color blue you know maybe in your CSS files and I mean, even if you made a mix in yourself There's different syntax for like Moz is Moz border radius top left Webkit border top left radius There's no reason to remember all that junk because eventually it'll be standardized as probably let's just stick to Also gradients the stuff on the right is what you could type I guess if you wanted to You can see at the top. We've got experimental support for SVG is true Which will write as a SVG base 64 encoded string It'll write that to your CSS file So if there's a probably won't don't want to do this for every image But if there's an image that's going to be on a site so consistently that it might as well be in the CSS file itself You can do that with your gradients And again, you can see here's the all the fallbacks for the different browser vendor prefixes So here's a list of text editors and IDEs that support SAS and SCSS Our personal favorite I guess is sublime text sublime text too. Yeah. Yeah And if you don't use that you're doing it wrong. No, just kidding But you know, it's so this kind of answers the question of is it mainstream enough to care about or you know What what will my team say when I bring this back to them? Will they say that the text editor they use the IDE that they use doesn't support it chances are it probably does Did I have in there twice these GUIs? I don't think we talked about the GUIs yet. Oh, all right Sorry, I made you talk about GUIs. Okay, so these are GUIs. So Transplant what I said about Mario Kart to after this slide So anyways, these are apps that will compile live your SAS files into CSS So if you're not like a command line junkie who doesn't want to run like compass watch and some of the other command line Utilities, these are just GUIs you can install and run and it'll take care of the heavy lifting some of these You can do things like point to a directory and say watch it and when you modify your SAS or a CSS file CSS files are generated instantly so you can reload the page and compass app I think is like $7 scout is free. It's Adobe air based and runs on everything that runs Adobe air and the code kit is Mac only It's probably the most elegant of all of them and it also can do coffee script and less and stylus and all that it can do Coffee script. I'm not saying use coffee script, but it can do it, but personally we found that Workflow-wise it's easier to replicate your process if you just use command line and have a text file that has all your configs Saved that you can like source control or whatever So my initial impression of SAS when I heard about it from friends that do a lot of Ruby is like Okay, cool. If I'm ever on a Rails project tuck that away in my don't care file in my brain Then I was like, oh, okay, so it's not just for Rails for Ruby projects Tuck that you know in the other don't care file in my brain Then I was like, wait, wait a second You can use it in anything like you can have a flat HTML file that points to a CSS file that was compiled by SAS Okay, now we're getting somewhere and then now I've used SAS so much that when I'm in a project that Isn't Ruby based. I'm like, oh, no, what if I want to use it and it's not in Ruby And I thought maybe that wasn't possible But then we did it in Drupal with everything else we haven't be hosting say I want to run Ruby on the host also on that box also so I can So but that I think to call some stuff and just include things your own Sass-style add-on and it's all in PHP. So there is some potential there for maybe some way for themers Oh, did I go too far? Nope. All right. And it requires a old P which is a PHP port of Hamel But it's not really updated or used anymore Yeah, it needs right access to your theme now if anybody knows this from a security standpoint having your Drupal instance be able to Rewrite part of your code base is not really good for security. It's not something you really want to do That's why select all and say seven seven seven permissions. Yeah. Yeah, you don't want stuff like that So, you know designer. I don't know if that's bad or not sounds perfect to me, right? Exactly put that up on shared hosting see what happens But so you don't want that that's not good for that and despite its name It didn't do SCSS files. It's hard-coded to sass files Which for me isn't a problem, but for people like to do SCSS files. That's a problem Then there was the compass style sheet tool module compass, right? It actually uses Ruby to do all the heavy lifting so it pipes everything through to Ruby You got to have Ruby on the system. It's got to be accessible So it just kind of routes it through and that's not too bad And it can can you know you can tell like the develop module you can say, you know Refresh my theme and every page load and it can regenerate those files only then versus other times and that's not a bad thing Though the one problem is right your compass location. It needs to know where that is cross environment So if you develop language that if and that can be a kind of a pain to manage in addition to php is running Directly in in your host right? Yeah, so and then there there were there's going the hard-coded path Lee It's not a bad idea. I'd say out of all the ones you looked at that This was kind of our collective favorite. I think so Of biller it has some dependence project to Do sass in php so where sass is in ruby normally this takes the whole functionality Where is the back porting being done into php, right? Yeah? Yeah, so you're porting the functionality from one language to another the other language is always going to have a leg in time And then you use Drupal hooks to implement like namespaces to do all these different things So rather than have a compass add-on and this is where you can get into things like having a five-star hook that people can call inside of their sass files and The five-star module could supply it in theory that that's the example that was given to me, but So compass and bootstrap and foundation all these things that come with compass need to be Reimplemented entirely rewritten in php using our hook system So right now, that's not done. It's partially done a lot of the really cool stuff that you can do in compass isn't done But a handful of things are first that might exist still over here because they're entirely different change entirely different dependencies entirely different management And then you know you just put your sass and scss files in your your styles and it takes care of it And it stores the generated files in your public files folder So this is an interesting idea and it's really being heavily pushed right now But I don't know that it's something that I would want to latest bug fixes the latest and greatest that comes with the natural community of it so So I guess what we're trying to say is as in sass with Drupal to try to click Click try to stick closer to the metal and kind of escape the not inventive Drupal to ruby if you had a ruby server Right, it doesn't make a hole on us to port all the functionality of sass and compass from ruby to php So that's that way I guess to to because they would munch all the jubes all the faults together So here's an example of section in my info file This was for I did So See tools Just Just But So really, really take away all of those. This is what I had pre-assetting, I had a folder folder that I didn't want to use. So after adding sass, if we were all on the fflop.dji files, we just have one application that says so. Yeah, yeah, even if I forgot to turn it off. I still think this is worth doing, and we'll be able to do that in one second here and here. So come to watch and see how fast that's going to get fired by everything. Even if you do that, it should still use your full source performance. Why? Well, let's look at the next slide. The benefits of that are our cached bus, cached bus, whatever you say is it. Change change, random map, numeric map, file name. So the next time the page loads it will find a new css file that's changed. If you have a file tag that imports a file, older IE versions will treat that as a css file. So put it earlier and then go import your file. A file thing for development, it was never really intended for production. For beating old IE's limit on what you can do for development stuff. It was really never intended for production. It's probably powered by Drupal and I have tags with 18 imports and it makes me sad. So before I came here, because I'm a big performance person, I went and did a random sampling of sites of attendees, and about 50% of them don't have the preprocessing enabled for css. So if you don't, you should turn that on. It's super easy to do. You just go, well, this has the overlay. You just click configuration, and then in there there's a performance link, and you just say, yes, aggregate all this stuff. Production minified, I think that's from a module I have, but just make things as small as you can and munch them all together. So here's what it looks like with the compass output before Drupal has touched it, and this is what it looks like after. So here you can see clearly what's going on, right? Basically the only difference is that it's finding ..misc. Actually because I'm moving some of the system files into my theme directory to get that one HTTP request, I actually moved the .misc folder and deleted everything that wasn't an image. So I have the .misc folder with the little loading spinner and stuff that Drupal adds in my theme so that it can do this, find it, and then rewrite it to my theme path. So yeah, you now know all you need to know. Probably the best presentation we've ever heard of so far. Yeah, me too. As far as taking to the conference so far. Cool. So, oh wait, debugging, right? That's the one strong argument I've heard against SAS. Well, it turns all your parcels into one file, so how am I to know where my 5 pixel float bug is happening? Yeah, especially if it's all compressed down and you go to take a look at that. Do you install Windows on here? I don't know what happened. So anyways, point being, cryptic error messages are never helpful, right? Like a block that says your computer is busted, restart or something, you know? Because it's like, I can't look up this and then like, that's an end user, right? So that's what SAS would do is compress everything down into one file that is a human reading it, but this is no way to live as far as trying to debug things. Because it looks like it's smooth sailing, all right. So your stuff doesn't turn out right the first time? Yeah, it does. This is for other people, this section. So instead of having output style compressed, you want to say output style expanded, and then what that will give you is, oh man, it's kind of hard to read, but here it tells you line 102 on the reset, underscore reset.sas file is where this chunk of code is coming from. So it tells you exactly where to look. Yeah, so if you inspect this in like Firebug or WebKit Inspector, it will show you exactly the file you need to go and edit to fix what's wrong. Sure. So I always leave both of these lines in there, output style expanded, output style compressed. Actually, you can remove output style expanded and just comment out output style compressed and it will make it expanded by the nature of not having compressed past. So then you don't even have to worry about editing anything above like line nine. You can just do that all the same. These colon, that's the bowl, I believe, that's like a dollarable name, you know. It's easily the naysayers by saying you can get an easy stack trace of lines it came from. It's easier for files, because in my CSS files I don't know what line something happened, it didn't necessarily, but it's easy to find it in my sas files. Things that normally would make it through to a CSS file, sas catches ahead of time and says, hey, I'm not going to compile this because there was an error on line 15, you typed a semicolon and you didn't mean to or you have two curly braces or whatever it might be. So it's a little more strict on the compile. Yeah, so when you screw up it catches it. So just, if you're going to go with sas, decision, because if another developer is editing the CSS file and committing that back to source control and the next time you compile it just blows away his or her changes, that's not going to... They won't be happy with you. Yeah, so I would recommend if you are going to source control your CSS file, you do the minified one, that way it's obvious to the person who opens it like, I shouldn't know that, I can't read this, this makes no sense. Textmate bombs out because it's a one line file that's too long. So yeah, so you just want to be tweaking your .sas files or your .css files. So let's show some demos. I always think of... I always think of demos as like hit or miss, you know, like you got to pray to the demo gods and hope it all goes well. There's been offline demos today, so that won't happen. So any areas you see are entirely my own. So I'm waiting to see what explodes here, right?  You got butterflies in your stomach and lunch is settling wrong. So I aliased a few things in Z-shell so I don't have to remember the deeply nested past to my theme. So we're going to say, Compass Watch, open TextMate, or sorry, Sublime Text, Recent Projects. And here we can just kind of check out what's going on with my CSS file. So there it is minified. Let's say I want to check out what's going on and be able to actually read that junk. Then I can just comment that out, hit Save. Let's say Compass Clean. That will delete all my CSS, which is kind of scary until you realize CSS is the compiled result of your actual code you care about, which is your SAS files. And then if I come back here, you can see all my stuff is readable. Let me change my theme real quick. So here you can see, here's all the Drupal default files. I have those listed first so that you can see with the style that's more specific. You can see down where did that come from. I can go back and easily figure that out. So that's pretty cool being able to see that and then not have to wonder or just find and replace snippets, or find snippets of text and search for them in a one line file. This is where the demo gods are going to strike by somehow making Mount Pro not work. Wow, seriously? I did this redesign like two years ago maybe, so forgive me for it not being responsive and stuff. I hope you won't hack my site in production or anything. So I just want to show you here where you would go to the performance tab. Wow, really? I just pulled down my database last night in the hotel room and made sure I had the latest stuff. Yeah, that's really weird. It's after it does the processing so you can see it changes the site's themes but I also wanted to show you guys it's a project called Get Serve. It's at GetServe.com. It's another cool way to play with SAS. If you want to mess around with SAS and show it to people but haven't gotten me okay to throw it in a project yet, then you can play around with it with Serve. So I just typed Serve. That gets my yes. Web server going. Then I can just go to localhost4000 and this is the site I threw together for my sister's wedding. Yeah, right. Yay, good big brother. It's tough finding stuff you can show it. I want you to show it. So here I have my Sublime project. This is Hamel just it's like shorthand for CSS or I mean for HTML and here you can see I've got import that type of thing. So I'm importing like a desktop file which imports a grid for desktop and that's kind of cool. I use it as an excuse to make her site all phone friendly for her friends on their phones and stuff. What's cool about Serve is if you just want to throw together a useful or just like a five to ten page site you want to have navigation state that gets class active and stuff all yourself. Once things are to your liking then you can say serve export so from where I'm at then let's say go to like desktop www.Bethany.com and that will actually write out all the files and so now everything is flat file HTML and you can just upload that to any old server. Yeah, so if you've ever heard of anything like Jekyll that's associated with GitHub because more cross-compiled languages that's an easy idea. If you hack it a little bit it'll do coffee script geek I couldn't just I'll be happy to demo code.

Here's a teaching idea that focuses on two very specific aspects of the present simple tense. One of which will be making statements about a habit and a routine. The other will be conjugating the verb into the he, she, or it form. Here we'll present students with a picture. They will see various objects in the picture. Based upon the presence of these objects in someone's room, the students will have to make an observation such as she drinks coffee, she plays the guitar, she watches television, she doesn't smoke. Again, it's very specific used for the he, she, or it form and habits and routines. At the end of the activity, the teacher will have the pairs or the small groups report back their various findings.
