When she spotted your helper, she said, "Oh a kitty cat...I love her."<br /><br />So I went to Michaels a few days ago looking for candle clips like yours (well, not that pretty)and surprise, there were none to be found. Thanks for your resource list. <br /><br />Your idea for the advent wreath is so smart, so pretty, and a lot easier than adding greenery to the traditional advent form.<br />CamilleThe Vintique Objecthttp://thevintiqueobject.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-59608068875844645882011-12-13T16:22:59.298-05:002011-12-13T16:22:59.298-05:00You owe me a new keyboard.
