I've worked with various accounting software packages for the better part of 10 years and would highly suggest QuickBooks. I've worked with OneWritePlus, PeachTree, Macola v6 - v7, RealWorld, Mas90 and BusinessWorks to name a few. Once QuickBooks is set up properly, you can do all your taxes with it. I've beta tested QuickBooks versions for many years, so I have a pretty in-depth knowledge of how the program works. I'm also a few classes shy of an accounting degree, but just not motivated enough to finish it since I really really don't want to be a CPA. If you have questions, shoot me a PM and I'll try to answer them for you.

Absolutely fabulous as always!!

Yep! That's it!! I haven't been online too much because I embroidered my right index finger a little while ago, so I've missed a bunch of posts. I need to go back and see what I've missed. Serves me for trying to cut jumps stitches while the machine is running. I STILL can't get over the WHISKERS, They're great. I must have a small head because my entire face fits inside and it covers my chin and forehead. I took it to the Nursing home with me this morning when I took my dog to do therapy visits with the "Grandmas & Grandpas" and they loved it. Mr. Sullivan wants to borrow it to play Winston Churchill in one of their plays.

OMG! OMG! OMG! You should see the awesome mask I just got from Banwell! It's a bulldog and it EVEN HAS WHISKERS!!!! This has got to be the COOLEST mask I have ever seen! I opened the box and started giggling like a loon, then put on the mask to show my husband and the dogs. My daughter has my camera card, so I'm taking it to work in the morning so I can take pictures and post them!! Thank you soooo much Tom!!

You have some good timing Clay. I'll have to ring you up tomorrow. I'm looking for some 4/6 oz leather for a couple of projects I've got in the works. If you have some pictures of the colors, I'll post it up on the SCA board. 4/6 oz is perfect weight for all the light weight armor bits we're making for Youth Combat Divisions I and II.

I've seen them somewhere where you can buy a few without a minimum order. I'm running out the door in 10 minutes, I'll post it when I get back.

Sounds really cool. Count me in!! We do a swap on the sewing forum that I am a member of, which is fun. I learned about paying forward from a woman on one of my dog forums. I've always donated dog collars to shelters, people who rescue pit bulls and as items at auctions that raise money for pit bull friendly causes. I love pit bulls, so I put my time and talent into supporting the breed. Then one day, a woman on the forum told me she picked up a book for me and asked for my address. She sent me a BOX full of books. Books full of celtic patterns, traditional irish crafts, including leatherworking and dying leather, books on sewing, and books with stories about medieval history, bulldogs and things my kids were interested in. I actually use the celtic pattern books quite often for leather work. She found I love books, so she sends them to me when she finds topics she knows I am interested in. I was floored. She refused to let me pay her for them.

Benvenuto a Leatherworker, Denis. Io vissuto in Napoli molti anni fa, il mio italiano è non è stato usato in molto tempo. Ciò è un luogo grande, la gente è utile ed amichevole, voi imparerà mólto.

Love those wallets. They're beautiful. Some Japanese craftsmanship is beautiful. I remember watching an elderly man make a wooden chest with inlaid wood when I was in grade school and sitting there fascinated at his patience and skill. Your stitches are beautiful, but I'd suggest trying to recess them a little. Someone like my husband who abuses the hell out of his wallets or myself, who is just a klutz would end up ripping them out by catching them on something.

I got frustrated with it and just threw the bottle out. I typically apply multiple light coats to get colors I want. No matter how light I went, even using a damp t-shirt rag or a damp piece of well washed soft muslin fabric scrap, it pulled the hi-light color off.

If you go into a Joann Fabrics or a Michaels Craft store and look in the scrapbooking section, they have a really nice bone folders, The top one is the nicer one. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CAT...PRODID=prd24849 http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CAT...PRODID=prd28284 http://www.michaels.com/art/online/display...oductNum=pc0735

Holy Hell! That's a lot of rain!! I was on Oahu in 1992 during Hurricane Iniki. I worked for Royal State Group and was sent out to Kauai to take homeowners claims. Man - it looked like a giant threw a temper fit. Here it's mid-forties with some rain due tomorrow.

Ian - which page in OTB did you see those on? I looked but didn't see them. ElNino - I'm not sure drawer pulls would work. The dogs they'd be going are Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, Rottys and Marema dogs. ALL of them are hard pullers.

I am trying to find this specific type of swiveling O-ring for making a few dog collars based on a few historic dog collars that were up for auction recently and pictures that I've found of hunting dogs from the 14th, 15th and 16th century. I prefer them to be either solid brass, stainless steel or nickel over solid brass. Late 17th Century William IV sliver and leather adjustable collar Mid 18th Century Victorian brass and leather collar with brass applique and designs, bears lead ring Early 20th century French silver and leather collar Rare Channel Island silver and leather collar bears lead ring, one hinge, makers marks on clasp, two decorative brads each bearing inscription 'NStipaint & Son/ Guernesy CI' (circular inscription with crest in center), height 5 cm. (2 in.), diameter 15 cm. (5 7/8 in.) 20th Century metal and leather dog collar I saw the hardware on some modern dog collars, but haven't found a source for it yet. Just the center swivel ring, not the Lion door knocker looking hardware This one looks like there is some kind of decorative base on it. I thought this ring was pretty neat, but not safe for a large dog. Victorian lavishly engraved silvered metal and leather collar in the baroque taste with hinged lead ring, inscribed Cormongers,/ Nutfield' and 'Corsellis', height 3 in. (8 cm.), diameter 5 1/2 in. (15 cm.) If anyone can point me to this hardware, I'd really appreciate it. ~ Noel Oh - and if anyone has seen ornate locks like the William IV collar, I'd love to find those as well.

Wow. That is absolutely awesome. I love it. I'd love to learn how to do that.
