I love the wig I always wanted to be blonde.it is such a diffucult thing to go thru.my mom had non Hodgekins lymphoma stage 4 I went to all of her chemo appointments went to help her choose her wig we tried to make it fun we put on different colors and styles and laughed at how some of them looked. When her eyebrows feel out and her lashes we played with makeup. She has been clean for 4 years now so keep good and positive spirits because it really helps. I have been clean for 17 years I had a partial masectomy so there are many survivors and she will be one too.

That way I can use amail merege and print out my labels.
When the request is packaged and mailed I delete it from the sticky note. It pops up everymorning and reminds me what I have to work on.

I like that idea! But I hate to write, I would rather type! So I have my in an excel spreadsheet. Plus doing it this way I can cheat with cut/copy/paste. It's saved on my desktop so I dont have to search for it. I only misplace the printed copy! LOL I need a bullentin board I like that idea!

Not sure if some of what I got will be worth working with afraid it may break alot since I don't know how old it really is. The cones that were wrapped went for .25 & .50 cents. Alot of great colors. I ended up spending $7.00 dollars and got a ton of thread & a box full of notions. I even managed to find a brand new Janome ruffler still in the sealed package. Luv that find!
