Footnote: This WIX website was created to preserve material from the old Invisionfree forum Let's Talk Seashells. The material migrated to this WIX site (including slides) may have included links. Unfortunately most of those links are no longer valid. Many have been cleaned up, but some may remain. We're sorry if you encounter this problem. We continue to work on it.
