<G> Just goes to show what great taste Her Majesty has....and I agree
with her, just based on what I've seen you post....all that work you've
done is _beyond_ amazing...In all the years I've been in the SCA, I've
rarely seen quite the level of dedication among artisans that I have on
this list, and you're certainly one of them. Congratulations.
