RB- Great to see you here again! And ughhh, how rotten of your friend to do that, $500 is nothing to sneeze at!
And I love your Cupcake doll avatar lol, I had/have that exact one.
TCC- Congrats on the octopus!
Tup- I've shipped charms to Australia before using First Class International and it only cost about $4! It really depends on the service, those prices are crazy otherwise!
katierose- Aw, I'm so glad your granddaughter loves her charm necklace!
RE: the mushroom charm, kind of weird, I don't like them either so it's a pass for me too; it does look a bit like Alice in Wonderland though!
And I had a lovely morning...went with my parents to my dad's dr.'s appt. for his next treatment, then we went to breakfast afterwards at our usual place. The waitress then proceeded to accidentally knock over the glass of apple juice she was bringing me. It went alllllllll over the table and into my lap, so I was sitting through breakfast with wet jeans.
YUCK!!
