8. What was your biggest failure? Making one BIG lousy decision.

ReplyDeleteNext year has got to be better, right? I don't think it could get much worse.
ReplyDeleteHang in there babe. We are praying for things to get better for you in 2008.
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite a year for you, hasn't it! I'm praying that 2008 will be much smoother sailing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had the lettering business. I should have known with all the cool crafts you've been doing. You are so creative! I though you'd like these ideas. I found the link in Ladies Home Journal:
