This is my first visit to your lovely blog via Decor to Adore. I will be returning!

I don't know Valorie, nor her blog, but I know what it's like to feel helpless. So, when I am able to help anyone I do.

This is a wonderful auction and I would love to have a portrait of Buster the Beast of the East (my 14 year old cairn terrier) I bid $125.00
