 WB> Congratulations to John on the new job.  I can relate, Tom was
 WB> laid off almost 5 years.  You tell John LadyBear said good
 WB> going!    I think he'll remember me.
    Yes he does remember you and he asked me about you the other day and
    I told him you hadn't been posting for a while so I was unsure where
    you were.  Last I remember you were really sick and having all sorts
    of problems....  Now you are well!  Great!!!
 WB> Tom's been back at work for two weeks and it's awfully quiet
 WB> here during the day but at last I can work on something to
 WB> surprise him without him coming in and seeing what it is!  
 WB> Good thing, his birthday's the 30th of this month.
    Yeah I know what you mean about people walking in on their
    surprises.  We live in a trailer right now and I do all my crafting
    in the living room.  Any way I am working on a cross stitch piece
    for John for his birthday.  I am sure he knows what it is, but he
    keeps pretending he doesn't know.  I am so glad that he can pretend
    he is dumb real well.  Tell Tom happy birthday from the Powers clan.
    
 WB> Is there a printing center or office supply place where they
 WB> make Xerox copies near you?  I stored and packed a lot of stuff
 WB> in copy paper boxes (great for craft supplies, but now I have
 WB> those Rubbermaid storage boxes for most of my stuff).
    Those boxes do come in handy.  I am not sure if I can get any from
    our printing company here in towm but I work in a grocery store and
    I can get tons of boxes there every day.  So I don't think I am
    going to have any trouble getting everything packed.
    So what kind of crafts are you going to be doing in the near future?
    I am cross stitching of course and I am also doing lots of sewing
    and I have even branched out in designing some bidal accessories.
    Right now I have four basic patterns for ring bearer pillows that I
    make and then I have taken them and added to and taken away from to
    make a variation of them.  Anyway I have been able to sell quite a
    few finished ones and I hopeing to market them when I get settled in
    my new home.
    Well enough on me.... Hope things keep looking up for you.  Take
    care and have a great weekend!
