Thanks Kate!
Thank you for looking.? I enjoyed this tut but had to back up a couple of times because I got lost and started over.? It's best to do it when you're awake, ha ha.? Goodies for your use.

I finally slept 20 hours after no sleep since Wed night.? I'm a happy girl today.? Not sure why I couldn't sleep, but it just didn't happen.? I have watched all 3 of the new Hallmark series.? Love/Hearts (?) Around the Table.? All 3 released get 2 thumbs up for being sweet and fun. Next Thurs is #4.
