Oops!

You know what they say about the best laid plans. The idea was for the link list on the store blog to be perfect! But, alas, Sarah Martina Parker's blog link was broken. :( I've fixed it now, and I hope all of you who hopped earlier will go back and see what she created. All I can say is YOWSER!!!

And thank you all, so very much, for your kind comments and good wishes! I'm humbled and overwhelmed! I agree... I have the most amazing design team. On behalf of all of us, thank you!!!


Now, back to packing up orders!!!
