right..probably not tho. then I'd want more. human nature I gues.
You sound like yuo got a good handle on crafts too..I was left a single Mom 
of 8. 6 girls and 2 boys..so I know what it is to be the sole parent.if you 
just manage to keep a good sense of humor it'll get you through a lot of 
tough times. It did us. my baby ( he'd kill me to here that) is 28 and my 
oldest is 43. We laughing called our home Thunder Alley, and it sure was at 
times..
     I am sorry to hear you gave arthritis so bad it disables you but you 
sound as if your handeling it okay..about tole painting. I've always wanted 
to take a class in it. about the time I decided to do that, the local craft 
store up and moved away. all is not lost tho. I hear there is a bigger and 
better one moving in to the same place soon. called, comething MOORE. ever 
hear of it?
     I do card with my rubber stamping. so fat I've done several for special 
friends for Christmas and som e all occasional ones. I do do some embossing 
on some and some stenciling also..If you send me your address I will send you 
some of mine and maybe we can exchange on our own..
     Do keep in touch and I will try to get in here more often..take care of 
yourself and have a happy Thanksgiving. talk with you soon.  Bettie
A good way to forget your troubles is to help someone else with theirs.
