My sister, because she needs more to do!
Lisa, and anyone else who wants to play along.

I can't believe this! You and I did the same post today. That's like showing up to a ball in the same dress!
Hmph. And you probably would look better in it too.
Thanks for your comment today Jenn!! I am glad to have read some of your updates, since I hadn't been over here in a while. Glad to see things are progressing, but I am sorry you feel so sick!
Prayers!!
Great job! Thanks for playing along.
I'm going to have to put this off for a little while because I'm drowning a bit under other things to do... but one day I will do it! It sounds fun. :-)
I love you, Jenn, and I miss you. I wish we could just hang out in the same room somehow...
Always, Lisa
Looks like fun! I'll do it too! Thanks for idea!
