  7. What a clever idea Melissa!
    Sorry about the hassle over at The Sisterhood ... that was my fault, I had 'clicked where I shouldn't have' ... grrrr. It's fixed now and if you'd like to put this adorable card in the Inlinkz that would be great. Don't want to miss anyone when it's time to draw the winner.
    Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood’s ‘ANYTHING GOES’ challenge and please come back again soon!
