I love your Friday mash-ups! How long do they take you to do these?
ReplyDeleteHey Milo,
ReplyDeleteYour welcome. I am excited to see how the Write1/Sub1 project works.
Jenn,
I usually keep up during the week so it'll take about an hour. This week, however, it took 2 just to quick read. Thank you. I'm glad you like them.
Patti
