Thanks for your comments at Mama Says Mine - you're totally right about looking for a deal! (and I am one of those crafty people, so I'm hoping to find something I can rehab/repaint/repurpose!). That was just what I needed to hear after a long day of going to furniture stores! Your family is beautiful!

Oh. Excuse me.
Leslie--great to hear from you. Thanks for checking in. LOVED your cards this year, btw. I never managed to get mine out this time around...
