  1. I loved the quiz! One of the best posts of the day that I've read. I had to think on some of them, but in the end I figured them out, even 17. That was probably one of the easiest. Happy Valentine's Day!

  3. Emma and Cindy, I'm glad you enjoyed the quiz, and I think 17 was so sweet. I keep that book separate from the others so it doesn't get sold.
