Thank you thank you Miss Perri - last I checked our precious links left New York for Malaysia on the 10th. Not sure why they had to go through New York or why it took 6 days to get there(NY). Corra should have them soon I hope.

Our precious links are on their way back to the US - they left Malaysia 5-27-09 - They should be to Carrie in about 10 days from that date :)) Happy deciding Carrie.....

This has been so much fun, even after I got to pick my links I have really enjoyed watching them on their journey. Need to finish my bracelet so that I can post my pics. Thanks again to Bobbi for organizing this, it was great fun!

I have mine finished too Carrie - I just need to photograph them - I have just been so swamped. You know it's bad when you make a to do list, and the first thing on it is "make a to-do list" ;P
