What a cute name for a blog, and how nice of you to feature her!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the publicity Phillip! I am glad I quit procrastinating and finally got started! I tossed around a lot of titles but this one just stuck with me. Glad to be in the blogging community. Y'all are such nice folks!
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing title of her blog. I will pop over and have a look.

Cute name and I'm excited to check her out!
