I'm sure it will turn up when you're not looking for it. That's happened to me a few times. One time I could not my quilting gloves. I tore the place apart looking for them. Finally decided to buy a new set. A few weeks later, I found them. Another time I posted an address I needed on my cork board until I needed it. When I needed it, I couldn't find it anywhere. I finally decided to ask the person for it again. This time I was sure I wouldn't lose it. I posted it on my bulletin board - right next to the one I couldn't find!
