Hi Ann!

 AL> It's worth a try.  Also I find its alot easier to see what I am

I know.  I have several projects going most of the time but I
rarely finish anything and that's one reason right there.

Yippee!  Good for you!

I guess.  Tom's sister is a teacher and lives about a 7-hour drive
from here, so we see her at her Christmas vacation and for a week
or so in summertime.  We enjoy her visits but I'm always in such a
dither before she gets here, trying to make room in the closet for
her clothes and find the bed so I can make it up.    It just a
twin bed and usually covered with huge plastic storage containers
full of craft supplies.    It's easier to see them when they're
out of the closet, they're the see-through ones mostly and I can
tell what's in them that way.  On the shelf unit in the closet they
aren't as transparent.  
Well, Gramma always said "A poor excuse is better'n none!"
