Now you've got me looking for a white Sharpie!!! That's so much better looking than what I have (a gel pen). This is so pretty and love that design you used. Cute sentiment and yummy looking too! VERY pretty!
Loved the turkeys! We have a group that wanders through here ever so often. They're fun to watch!
So sorry about you getting the ad pop up when you commented on my card earlier. I've been attempting to fix it and finally realized I don't know what I'm doing.....so it's going to the repair shop on Monday! Again, I'm sorry.

Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
