Oh, this is good. And It reminds me of a contest on shoes a long time ago here at Soup. I recall someone showing a similar picture. Such a horrifying thing it was. Congrats. Constance

Andrea, thanks for visiting and the compliment and congrats, I think I recall that contest wasn't it a pile of shoes with a child's red shoe distinct in the image, that was a sad contest, that was a long time ago, you have a good memory ~

Chills when I saw this for two reasons.. First it is like dinamite.. Small but packs a powerful punch.. Second, I almost wrote on the same subject.. Lucky for me I didn't... Kudos my dear friend.. Congrats on #1.. Hugs.. Arlene
