I really can't stand to let them go either. They work great and are made well.

I uploaded all the photos first and then was going to add the text between the photos.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I did wrong but unbeknownst to me, the photos appeared on my blog before I added the text. That's what the first 4 or 5 comments above reflect, the fact that they were seeing the pictures only and no text accompanying them.<BR/><BR/>Sorry gals!
