ReplyDeleteI love Edith's second wedding dress SO much. Ahh. <3
What an original idea to post the game answers in a blog post! - I usually have games for people to play in the comments, so no-one can see any answers! I really hope no-one will go over here to peek for the answers, because you did Very Well Indeed. ;-)
Oh and I'd save Matthew too AND I LOVE YOUR HEADER. (Your headers are always SUCH BEAUTIES by the way!)
DeleteThank you! Yours are beautiful too!
