Thank you, Deb, Robert, Goshka, Kathy, Carla, Christina, and Darryl, for all your kind and thoughtful comments.

And, Darryl ~ I learned my lesson from "It's a Boy" ... this week, I wrote down every effect before I moved on to another one. :) #2481702

Mary K. Robison March 06, 2006

Thank you for your friendly response, Pat!!
If it weren't for the "purple" theme category, I wouldn't have thought to put this "on display." I've only worn it once, but if I ever make it to the red carpet on Oscars' night, I'll have it on, even if I'm wearing Bermuda shorts and a tanktop! LOL! #2504991
