Thanks so much for answering my questions Shell!
Your answer to the number of WIPs made me laugh! I feel the same about mine.
And you reminded me that I loved Saved the Last Dance. Off to see if I can buy it of iTunes so I can watch it tonight once the kids are asleep.
Thanks for your suggestions of what you would like to see on ASWC. They are things I would like too so I will hopefully be able to deliver them soon.
