  9. I am glad that you enjoyed them everyone! :))

    0livia: Meda does have a blog and does put stuff on there that she sells sometimes. Her blog address is http:a-pach-ecrafts.blogspot.com. Um as far as which still waters camp Sarah is going to, the last I heard she was still on the waiting list and if I remember right, it was for a couple different ones.

  10. Yay!! She does make and sell jean skirts!! :D
    Aww..okay...I sure hope she gets in! I asked 'cause I was hoping she'd be attending the same camp I'm going to (older July), Lord willing.
