The wreath sounds simply great. tell me, did you manage to keep it or give it 
away..I do things like that but having 6 girls one of them always manages to 
talk me out of it somehow..very seldon do I have something I made in my home. 
unless it's just simpley to gaudy for them and their homes. in which case it 
probably is for me too..It gets to be a joke sometimes...I did manage to keep 
one afaghan I made but that's cause it was an especially fluffy, warm and 
extreamly expensive yarn..part alpaca wool. and I've b een determined to keep 
it myself..it's so light and sooo warm.
     Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner but with all the goings on at holiday 
time. I'm a happy person that it's all but behind me now..tonight is the last 
of 1997 and now I'll be all discombobulated with my checks for a few weeks..I 
try to write 1998 on a few so I don't mess up too bad, but when I've reached 
the end of the pre written ones.I slip..
     Seems I no more than get used to the new year and we're getting ready 
for another one..
     I've put the crafts away for awhile, but it won't be long and I'll be 
tired of reading all the good books I rec. from santa and will be dragging 
somethingv out I'm sure..
     I hope you had a very merry Christmas and will have a great new 
year..Happy 1998...keep in touch.
   we received 3 feet of snow overnight and it's really a winter wonderland 
out there..not so good for driving, but for me..nice,pretty
    take care..                                      Bettie
crafters are special people and I'm happy to be special..
