I hope you're able to use the smaller one for more crafty purposes!Melissa J.

They are both my name (supposedly), but the one made in the north is entirely diffent than the one made in the south. (I thought that the pronounciation was different, but the characters were the same. Who knows?)<BR/><BR/>I use my large one with a fu dog on top for all of my correspondence, but the small one doesn't get used much.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for giving me a great suggestion for its use!<BR/><BR/>Ruth Ann<BR/>http://www.raggbaggs.blogspot.com<BR/>http://www.r2swanger.etsy.comRuth Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723758835663616548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-87061239385994338052008-06-25T23:08:00.000-07:002008-06-25T23:08:00.000-07:00Jean, as usual, I love your story, especially your...Jean, as usual, I love your story, especially your reaction to those new-fangled wedding invitations with check box cards stuck in them! I still feel that nothing really compares to receiving a hand-written letter, although that art is certainly dwindling, with the advent of the Internet!<BR/><BR/>Cindy, I think it's fascinating that you studied Japanese sign language - is it much different from ASL? I'm afraid I don't know how "Cindy" translates into Korean, though - I will have to ask my mother!Melissa J.

What a nice memento of your trip and meeting your extended family. <BR/><BR/>In graduate school, I studied Japanese Sign Language as one of my grad school colleagues was from Japan. He said my name was similiar to the Japanese word for "death" so we all agreed it was best to skip calling me by a translated Japanese name! :-)Maybe Cindy would translate better into Korean? :-)<BR/><BR/>CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-49230391110630517802008-06-24T22:53:00.000-07:002008-06-24T22:53:00.000-07:00good grief, I didn't mean EAR I meant years! excus...good grief, I didn't mean EAR I meant years! excuse me!Jean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-7536395762627344852008-06-24T22:51:00.000-07:002008-06-24T22:51:00.000-07:00Oh I love that.

At a certain age, we were taken to Tiffany and Co to have our "die"s made that would have our initials in the engraving style of our choice,very fancy! and have our first formal notecard size paper to use for thank you notes and for responses to invitations. As my mother taught us from the time we could write how to respnd correctly to invitations and how to write thank you notes , by practicing with us, and drilling us! you can imagine my horror at the very first "response card" (where you just conveniently check off a box and throw it in the mail) I ever got included a wedding invitation! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I was so rigid. It took me EAR to get the hang of that and get over myself! :) so silly<BR/><BR/>I was very proud of my die!<BR/><BR/>I also loved seals and wax, but I just used a rose seal. and pink wax.Jean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-64587284172778655312008-06-24T21:22:00.000-07:002008-06-24T21:22:00.000-07:00RupaB,Very interesting - I didn't know that!
