My Sister sent over some templates for envelopes with a note that said she didn't know how to use them. So here is my photo montage of how to use an envelope template: First of all, let's pick out some pretty paper. Mine came from a stack of paper purchased at Michaels' in the clearance aisle. Two pages out of the stack were damaged, but at 60% off, I could deal with that. I put the template on the paper, positioning it where I thought it would look best.

That's called,"Antibiotic Resistance" a once-potent antibiotic is now freaking useless to that bacteria. How doe
