Well.....I DO have Patti's right now.
Showed it to hubby and he LOVES it. He loves what you did to it and asked me if I could do that. I laughed hysterically at him! No way could I do that! Not in a million years!
I would NEVER intentionally keep anyones center. Have thought about it because some beauties have passed thru here on their way back to their owners. BUT....you never know.......there's always a first time. muhahaha
