Leslie....... Thank you Ellen LEMON MELTAWAYS

[Guest guest]

Hi Leslie,

 

I am soooo glad they turned out a hit for you. I always worry when I submit

any recipe if people will like it as much as I do, so the feed back is very

encouraging and makes me want to submit more. Thank you.

 

Smiles from the other side,

Elle
