Donna, I see what we must do. Since my sister and I share the blog should we both answer? or decide which one will answer? This will be such fun and pass the honor on to other new bloggers.

Thank you so much for nominating The French Hens Nest!

Hi there Donna,
First of all, I need to know your shoe size so I can borrow some shoes... lol... I love shoes too and it's a bit of an obsession, however, I have been very good lately as I'm saving to move there. And if you don't mind, you will have to share Andy Garcia, I have loved that man forever, he's soooo HOT!!! PHHHHhwwwwaaaaaaa!!!!!! :)
I'd also love a vacation home in Greece, what do you say we share it and we can vacation there all the time?
Thank you for my nomination for the Leibster award, but I've already recieved a nomination and I don't think I'm allowed two?
