Hi Marg,

I hope to get  your take on the Christmas tree into the next edition of the
Trading Post.  I am a bit behind because my husband suddenly got ill.

If you have a photo (high resolution for printing) of any of your
creations, that would be great.

If not, please do not worry about it.  The newspaper can usually find
something.

Thanks,

Nancy
