[lace] commerative

I love all the ideas being thrown around, I think it's great that there's so much enthusiasm about the 20th anniversary. One idea in particular took my fancy, a tool box. One of the IOLI conventions recently had wood boxes made and they were beautiful..I'd love that to be one of the choices.

[lace] exchange/friendship

I have learned so much from the list, I am ever thankful. I'm not sure when I joined the list but probably about 2000 as I started making lace in 2000. I do have a question, I'm sure many friendships have been made through Arachne, but how many friendships have been made from an exchange?
