ReplyDeleteSo many I would love to have especially the lockets.
I have noticed You don't seem to get many comments.
I am sure you have many readers because your blog is so much fun.
And one of my favorites. I look forward to reading it.
Although some days I can't get to read any blogs and have to play catch up.
I hope you keep up this great blog.
