Thank You Catherine...
Let the games begin.
There you are! Long time no see! I hope Hillard is better now.
Just wondering, you had mentioned awhile back that you would like to offer a prize for the Knittin' Mittens KAL...would you still be interested? This is the last month and we need a prize. If not, that's ok.
