[Woodcarver] The Original 100!!

[Donna Menke]

I'm sorry to hear about so many carvers who have not been able to carve for a while. I have had some interruptions to my normally creative lifestyle and I gotta tell you it is not fun. Today I drew the plans for that shelf mouse on my web site so that I could reproduce it for a customer. It felt so good to sit at the old drafting table and MAKE something for a change. The best day I've had in a long time.

Some people just feel better when they are creating- and I think a lot of the people on this list are that kind of people. Get back to it asap- you will be better for it. Trust me. Donna Menke
