Marine Corps Nomads

Momma Roar!!! I put everyone’s name in order (plus the extra names for linking back to the contest) and had her pick a number. I was overwhelmed by the great response. Thank you all for stopping by and joining my little contest and get-to-gether. Momma Roar. I just need you to contact me, so I can get your information and send your package on it’s way.

She loved it so much that she asked me to make pillow cases for her two other pillows to match. They didn’t take very long to make as fleece is extremely easy to work with. So,…
