this is how

I'm going to print this off so my kids will quit fussing at me! I ONLY have 15....I told my DDIL that I had just gotten another (a CH-15) and she wanted to know where I was going to put it! Silly girl, everyone knows that's what floor space, the hearth, the book cases and table tops are for! I figure I can buy at least ten more before I run out of room...LOL and enjoying my "stable"!
