Alphabet Game #9 – Melinda Carter

She’s not very good with the lasso, but she was there for her little sister when Andi fell into the draw,Continue reading “Alphabet Game #9 – Melinda Carter”
What Am I Winner
Ashlynn Hunt is the winner. Her email bounced, so I was a little worried and thought I’d need to choose another winner, but she did contact me! There were 153 entries, of which 135 got the answer correct: a pineapple. Random.org chose #87 and that happened to be Ashlynn. Congratulations! She chose the new toteContinue reading “What Am I Winner”
