[Colorado-talk] Braille Alphabet Cards

[Marty Rahn]

Arielle,

*grin* I didn't mean to embarrass you. LOL. Anyway, I'm willing to braille 
up the alphabet cards for you if you will just let me know how you want the 
letters; in the middle of the card, with guide lines or notches to indicate 
where the top of the card is, etc. Do you want them in lower case, i'm 
assuming? It won't take long at all.

Sincerely,
