Girl, I don't see how you stayed in your shoes all day long. I was taking my little 3 inch heels off in the choir stand cause I couldn't keep them on while we sang our 2 selections. But, my daughter would kill for these. She can wear the really high heels. The kids look beautiful and are so grown up now. Hope you had a blessed day.

Your family and the patterns look GREAT! You have inspired me to get back to sewing! Maybe this summer when school is out, I can get back on it! BTW--You inspire me even more since our names are spelled exactly alike! Don't find that much often!
