[Nfb-krafters-korner] Going as a vendor to craft shows, farmer's markets, ETC independently

Hi,
Thanks for the info! I'm glad it works in a dark room, because a lot of
those apps don't always work so well in the dark.

In Christ, Miranda

an Iphone 4S is called. I know that it works pretty good since I have seen a
