I wanted to check in and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. We’ll be having Thanksgiving here with my brother’s family. I’ll probably put the shopping cart up this weekend, after I’ve had a few days with family (they’re here until Sunday morning). I’ve been delayed on the Amber Incense but am getting back to it….
Laurie, thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
