as my freckle..."

I updated the reading list to here! Guys these are simply wonderful--thank you all for contributing!!!

Just a note--this thread will stay open and reflect that it is both a November/December prompt. It is part of a trio of prompts--the third which is opening tonight for picture nominations and will be soley HOLIDAY inspired.

Because the holidays are tough times for some of us I am choosing to keep both the November threads open and active and add a third holiday themed one.

Happy Writng to all--you brighten our lives immeasurably by contributing here and sharing your talents!
