If only I had seen this earlier. I tried reposting like 10 times in the welcome rock and thought my computer was just glitching. I am so sorry! Is there a way I can go through and delete my own posts?
Thanks Vicki! It looks great! Could you please change the last question from 7 to 8? Thanks, I think I made two sevens.
The ones in the welcome rock that I posted a comment under asking for them to be deleted. That's it really. Thanks!!
