    Let me say that the only thing I have ever won, was a drawling contest in kindergarten, for the wizard of oz. And then I was too afraid to go to the principles office and claim the prize.
    I live in Lexington,KY and run a small business. I adore her work, and would LOVE and benefit from this so much.
    I figure there is zero chance of me getting on Oprah’s favorite things show, but this would be a great runner’s up.
