Okay, who is the absolute WORST stand-in group mod ever? This girl! I completely forgot about our cross-offs!So, since Sandy, Beth NC, and Roseann were our last top shelvers, our next top shelvers will be Sandy MN, Rebecca, and Think.
And our drawing winners are Dee, Kristina Mare, and Pinar. Cross away, ladies!
