NOTE:  You may notice that I have taken off the Family Magazine button that led you to my ebay auctions.  I have had problems with ebay and have taken all my items off of there.  I have gone somewhere else to sell my items and when I have them on, I will see if I can get a button on here so you can go directly to my items.  I am sorry for any inconvenience that I have caused.
