Hi Shela, it's nice to meet you:) Thanks for stopping by my page and for the lovely comments, too.  Perhaps we could collaborate in the future on something.  I like to report on retailers/designers that donate to their local women's shelters, so if ever you want to do something philanthropic, please let me know and I would gladly write an article all about it. It would be awesome if you could "like" our Facebook page if you get a chance. Good luck to you with school!
