In the last holiday contest I won but never received the award. I am Canadian but had arranged for it to,go,to a charity in the US. I provided all contact info.

l've been making gbh for 40 yrs and using Loreta's Favourite for what seems like 20 of those and l do love it.
l have lived in Perth the past 11 years and have had to give up on bigger projects due to the intense Christmas heat.

LOL, l do babble on, long winded post for a simple question.
Thanks Debra
