Lorrie, I have to tell you how much I love your blog and your creative spirit! These books are so very charming. I'm off now, to look after Mike (my husband's mom) as she's not feeling well. But I can't wait to get back so I can really take the time to browse through all your wonderful posts.
Warmly,
