Yet I am afraid I am compelled to make use of your idea, while also making changes and adopting other elements not revealed in these photographs. I hope you won't mind.<br /><br />Wishing you and your family all the very best this holiday season,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683957874620343537.post-10867163456088841272009-12-13T21:19:03.491-08:002009-12-13T21:19:03.491-08:00Nancy, you rocked my socks off with your beautiful...Nancy, you rocked my socks off with your beautiful Rapt rocks.
