Thinking of You Message

    Happy New Year from Chains of Thought.  Do you have any resolutions for 2006?  I like to think I have them... but somewhere between making them and December 31st of that year they seem to have gotten lost or forgotten.  And I vow to do better next year.  So I ring in the New Year with last year's (and all the previous years resolutions.  Perhaps one should wait until December 31st and review what changes one has accomplished and then write the resolution list.   LOL
     Please give a warm Chains of Thought welcome to our new reporter, Jannet Harris.  She will be sharing her Ebay experience with us.
     FYI ... I was reading the Lion Brand newsletter and thought I would share with you that starting around the 15th of January, they will be offering their patterns in three versions.  The standard version, a large formal version and a version that links the patterns etc, so it can be read by devices that produce Braille.  I think that is fantastic.
     Our theme for this newsletter is "Valentine's Day".  So grab your favourite beverage, pull up a comfortable chair and just relax.  Hope you enjoy the newsletter.

Jannet's Introduction ....
     I am Jannet from California.  I am married with a teenage son, and we collect Disney & Coca Cola items as a family.  I started crocheting about 10 years ago after a camping trip that was SOOO C-C-CCOOOOLLLDDD
all I could think of was how much I wanted another blanket.  I have completed about 45 afghans, and many other items such as tissue toppers, pot holders, wreaths, ornaments, dish clothes, dolls, toys and much, much more.  Crocheting reminds me of my grandmother and how someday my decendants will treasure my items as much as I treasure the items made by my loving grandmother.
