  8. Thank you. I made daughter's Valentine card last wk similar to a Snoopy one, mailed last Fri & she rcvd it Mon (not bad for mailing it regular postal mail $6 & not Priority Mail $9 something) along with Truffles, a scarf & mittens (not crocheted by me although I did crochet her a scarf at Christmas but got these new ones at Target on clearance) and a newer portable more space hard drive.

    I use a Canon EOS T2i Digital SLR to take my pictures. It's a great camera. I did a lot of research when I purchased it a while ago and it had the best reviews :)
