<p>So Patsy contact me at karen.e.erickson @ gmail.com (minus the spaces) so I can get you your necklace! Congratulations! And thank you again to everyone who took the time and left a comment. I enjoyed reading every single one of them.</p>

<p>Second, I am sharing pix tomorrow (yes <strong>Rhian</strong> this notice is for you!). Loading photos onto a blog is a big pain in the arse. Why can&#8217;t they make it easier?</p>
