So you would each get a piece. Suffice to say, Valerie C., that more African fabrics do live about the place. They are kind of special for me to work with, and I put a lot of care into it. (not to suggest that a lot of care doesn't go into the other bags!) Only to suggest that if you are patient, and diligent, you will be able to try for another African themed bag.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269164806627544548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495942811046981741.post-55622877915437619312008-08-06T18:08:00.001-05:002008-08-06T18:08:00.001-05:00Congrats Shaunak.
