I love the airport! That’s where all my milk cartons go! And my daughter’s school is collecting juice packs & candy wrappers for one of the places that makes those purses. They pay the school 2 cents each for them.
Just stopping by to say Happy VGNO for last week’s VGNO….too many things going on this time of year. Holiday preparations, work, school party…yada, yada, yada! Hope you’re enjoying the holidays!
