[Nfb-krafters-korner] craft backpack

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I spoke to Marulyn  and she had told me she sent out your  backpack.  
 
She was delighted that you passed her info on and is excited to talk to all 
 of us about our backs and how to avoid back pain.
 
She did tell me that you can purchase her backpacks in a particular store  
throughout the USA, but she will give more of that info on August 15.

I was told by Marilyn the  designer of the pack to make sure I listen to the
video on the web site how  to fit the pack in the correct way. 

Tell her I sent you, Becky from  Washington, smile.

I have one of these backpacks, and it is nice not to  have to take off the 
backpack to get things in and out.  It is also  nice to have two separate 
compartments for large items.  It sounds as  though the price has come down 
since I got mine.  I have used mine  for traveling, but I have used one 
side 
for knitting things and the other  for general stuff.  they are comfortable 
to wear, although a little  hot in the summer.  They also make you look 
pretty hippy if you  care.
