The best time in blog land, I think! I wanted to thank you so much for agreeing to make room for some of my small crafts. I am happy to send you my Easter Parade chicks as well as very small tuck-ins I have pulled from my shelves. Not much at all, but thank you for having them or passing them on. If you will e-mail me your address at elizabeth.andrus@yahoo.com I will send them out to you.

Thank God for SKYPE.<br /><br />Have a blessed Thanksgiving and a delightful time of celebrating with your loved ones. Enjoy your decorations, too!<br /><br />Blesings and love from GA,<br /><br />BeckyBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390409699918363467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163748992686653116.post-85881585110224683362010-11-18T13:40:12.595-08:002010-11-18T13:40:12.595-08:00Don't you just love the holidays?
