and Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge HERE
My friend is going through a divorce and I was trying to reassure her that everything was going to work out. I told her all she needs wherever she ends up living is a comfy sofa and a lamp. I hope you all have some happiness in your life. Have a great weekend!
Hugs,Kathy
