    An awesome video from Kathy here, that´s for sure. I´ve had a bunch of Le Plume markers for a long time, but admit, I´ve never been really happy about them, but now I´ll really have to give them another try, I think. It just looks so easy, when Kathy use them here, so it´s probably all about practise, I think LOL:

    Maintaining multiple connections have become easy now, thanks to the dual SIM stuffs. The mobile majors are all busy in deigning these doubly utility set in masses, and rightly so, the service from RightShopping.in is in the picture.

    This is a brilliant idea for people just starting to use alcohol markers - for a long time there has been a need for an alternative to the double ended ones already on the market which tend to be expensive. Kathy's video is first rate & it was so helpful to see the way she personalised the project with her signature white dots.
