I guess Donald hasn't seen my other liquify filter creations in the DD :-) and this is what happens when you get bored and your fingers start to itch (LOL)! Thank you very much, my dear friend, for taking the time at this late hour to stop in and comment, as well as adding your confidence! You know how much that means to me! I hope, too, that you are getting better and are taking care of yourself!!Kristi A. Howson November 22, 2005
