Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Woooo... getting close, Nichole! Sooooooo close. LOL!


message 178: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 512 comments I know!! I have the last one marked for March but it's so close I don't know if I can wait that long :)


message 179: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments LOL! Why wait? Unless you're using it for a March challenge?

In that case, I know the feeling. I've 'stolen' from a future challenge before, because I just have to go with my mood. Then I'm scrambling for a replacement.
