Hi Pat,
posted: 10:46 pm on April 15thSo glad you like them. I am on my 5th one and they all look a little different and really nice. I got the idea from the latest threads, May 09, with the orange cover. Have fun and post some of your creations! My friend makes wallets out of men's ties, I'll try to get her to post. Cheers!
