delay!!

relieved or start crying! HA!
This past year of having the
ATC Swaps has been a huge learning
experience for me, and has opened
an incredible amount of opportunities,
and I have found so many of you to
be now Good Friends!

I Thank all of you for sticking with me,
and making it all so worth while and fun!
I adore all your ATC's you've sent me
