Dear Edna, I enjoy all your comments and knowledge about so many things. When I see your e-mail appear, I open it first. You always have something interesting to post and give. But, where may I ask, do you get all your information especially about the soap and ink? Do you find them in old books, or are they handed down to you from ancestors? I simply think they are neat and wonderful. And another question, where does one find all these weird and strange stuff to make these items with? I never heard of half of them. Maybe that's our problem, we don't know and understand the things around us or just do not have to time to learn. Not being nosy, but curious and anxious to learn more!
