Hmmm...no e-mail notice. But worse, no little red number indicator to tell me there are unread posts!Good thing I got curious as to why no one had posted.
Thanks Lisa Kay. You know, I think this just might be my favourite reading challenge because it is fun and so achieveable. Now what's up for February... ooh, Valentines Day reads???
So glad you like it, Lisa. We have to thank the SOS group - which includes Sandra - as they were the originators. Yes, someone is working on their ideas for February now. They said they'd have them to me by Wednesday (hopefully).

Easiest way to make stars is to copy and paste. There is a formula but I always forget. LOL.

you don't have to have a mac, I just say that because I do and Ctrl+v and Ctrl+c doesn't work on a mac :)
