You're welcome, and thank you, Patty! It's always good for me to stop and ask myself "Why?" now & then.

Yes, Grace! I thought of you when I realized there were feelings of excitement and happiness. They were mounted on wooden cradled boards with two tiny nails in the top corners. Sorry, I didn't do a good job with photos. These were taken before the event, and I didn't think about it during.
