					<description>Shirley, your website is great! I am so impressed. I continue to receive complimnets whenever I wear the name pin you made for me years ago.  I like your Jack in the Pulpit; I have one in  my wooded yard; along the road. I overheard some walkers comment on it; othewise I would never have noticed it.  I have a funny Kuhn family lore story about my mother and a jack in the Pulpit...I won't bore you now with it, but will tell you when we next meet.... Thanks again for sharing your website. CAROL P.S. I am now a c-0wner of a sailboat on Penobscot Bay!!</description>

					<description>Ms. Bell,
I always use your bird notecards as thank you notes to friends.  I get so many comments from my friends on the beauty and elegance of the cards.

Thank you!
