[Nfb-krafters-korner] For Sale Sewel Boards

[Jewel S.]

My favourite neon colour is pink, followed closely by orange. If you
can't make it neon, don't worry about it. It was just a hope. Either
way I would like one; where do I send the check (you can give me the
address privately).

I can't wait to get this. It sounds great!
