I realize this qualifies by the title, but I need you to list that info please. It is confirmed pending that add. 😊
Scavenger Hunt RosesI am not longer going to be confirming each book individually like I did for Date 1 and the first day of this date - it would probably kill me if I did!
Once I have confirmed the book qualifies, I am adding it to the list one page one. I will try to comment when I have finished a round of updating. If I didn't reply directly to your post, you can assume it qualified but can double check that in message #4 of this thread - I have included the team that claimed the book and the post it was claimed in there.
And I'm up to date through here... 😵
Yes! Thanks MountainKat & Karen❤️❤️!!
