Great if you like the subject matter you have to
this article.
Congrats Miss! Happy it's in the show! Are you going to be there on the 12th or the 19th?
thanks! :) I'm not sure if I'll be there the 12th or 19th- I'm going to try and make both dates, to be honest, but I think the 19th will give me more time to publicize and let people plan, so the 19th would be the safer bet :) yay!!
Keep up the good work.
