Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite for the books giveaway. I'd love to enter Kirin's school for Pre-K in the drawing. Bellingrath Hills Elementary in Central. His teacher is Mrs. Molly Blackwell. I bought books for their class at Kirin's recent school book fair. She was most appreciative.
Thanks again for a chance in the giveaway.
Hugs
Peggy Biggs
Wonderful! I'm glad you visited!
DeleteHello Mrs. McInnis! I am Karen's friend from WashU and think this is just the coolest thing you're doing!
