| Murf, i like that. That makes sense, in the sense, that, i guess i was just | day dreamin' about the huge shadow box i was gonna have on the wall, (and | just "Where" might that have been, lol), make that cealing, lmao, and how it | was gonna have a bunch of big flies in it, like from Deb, and Don and, | and.......so.........since i see your talkin size 12. I guess i won't be | doin' mine on a size 3/0 which is what i was gonna do. Ok, you'll get | Usualls. But don't expect 'em all the same color, lmao. If we had more | girls, i could do blue for the boys and pink for the girls. 50 the same | color, drive me nuts.
