Martina: I've got to say when you fall off the wagon you do it with a great deal of style. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Get well soon. I am probably going to JoAnn's today. They are having a 50% sale on cutting mats and boy do I need to replace my 24' one. The lines in the places I use the most are disappearing and the surface is probably shortening the life of my rotary blades. Don't know if I will find some yardage that I can't live without. Like you said Rose, must be something in the air.
