Happy Monday to all. Things are finally looking up for us, as many of you know my husband has been laid off for fifteen LONG months and I am happy to say he got called back last week. I am sorry to sayI will now have less time on BP but I know my friends here will understand. Thanks to all that kept us in thier thoughts during this very tough time.

Thank you for all the very nice comments, I wish I had more time to say thank you, and leave more comments for all of you who are so sweet to do the same for me. Michelle I use natural light I have a family room I made into a studio and it has a huge window on one side and a small window on the other side. Depending on what time of day it is and where the sun is, I decide which side of the room to use. Please e-mail directly if you would like any additional info or a picture of my set up. I really love using natural light, and it's free :) #1537048Beverley A. Daniels June 30, 2005
