We're just quirky enough to be "reality" TV, but wholesome enough for Prime Time. Honestly, the show sounds boring to me. But so did Dirty Jobs, and that has turned out to be a gem. Mike Rowe is my […]

The webpage just keeps getting better and better! The new theme is now tweaked to suit my purpose, and I will say it looks very good. I've started adding the new products -- now all that's left is the bracelet kits and balloons. I got the charms up yesterday. (Man, that took forever.) I am […]
