When he opened the package and saw it, he said, "Oh No!" and shut it quickly. I still laugh remembering his expression of horridness. <br /><a href="http://www.su-sieeemac.com/" rel="nofollow">The View from the Top of the Ladder</a> <br /><a href="http://www.take25tohollister.com/" rel="nofollow">Take 25 to Hollister</a> Su-sieee!

If you stared too long, your eyes would cross. <br /><br />I miss Linens and Things too!! So sad they went out of business.I liked them better than BB&Beyond, they always had cheaper prices. Hmm, I wonder if that's what happened? <br /><br />Popping in from A-Z and became new follower.
