Cover Girl....

A while back I told y'all that I had sent a doll to Cloth Paper Scissors and they said they were interested in her? Well looky looky ....



Isn't it WONDERFUL???!!!
I was speechless..but only for a nano second, then I emailed some of my friends and family. My run of bad luck is just a distant memory.....:)

I had to show you what a sweet thing my dh did, he came home with this beautiful bouquet of flowers for me , to celebrate my doll being on the cover of the magazine!!!He also brought me some crullers along with other yummy sweets
that I really didn't need but LOVED ... notice the past tense?!!!!:)

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you, Flora!! Well deserved is right! Your work is outstanding and the story behind your snowgirl....is very heart-warming.

I am sure that Annette will think so too....unless she already knows ;)

I received my copy a couple of days ago and had to read about your cover snowgirl, right away.

Your hubby is just the sweetest. So glad he treated you special and knows how much it means to you.

Bad luck is just a distant memory for you and I hope it stays that way.

Have a great day, Flora.
Blessings,
~Tonya
