I love em.. what a wonderfull idea creating this business

I have a gothic 14 yr old who would be so jealous.. lol

I wish we werent poorer than we have been in over 10 years.. It would make a great gift (her BIG gift.. since so far I cant think of anything else..)

(we are kinda forgoing xmas this year.. living in a camper..lol)

I really really want one..!! your pics make them soooo appealing..

I wanna wear one outside.. and at camp and well.. lots of ways..

MAYBE this is what I can reward myself with when I loose alot of weight!

I have a friend (net friend) who says when I loose the weight she will give a 250$ shopping spree at hot topic (or anywhere) and although I NEVER plan to accept her offer... Its on topic..

I can sew great!! I used to make halloween costumes all kinds of things..... I mean I USED to be able to .. but the cutting and sewing is too painfull for me.. BUT as I get well It would be cool to try to make a cloak!

Woot Everyones stats are all logged in! YAY!

Keep up the great work!

Since there is 10 people I thought I could ask a question or poll type thing just to help me out some~

The question is..

IF you win this challenge what color cloak will you ask for?

You dont have to make a special post to answer me, Just put it with next weeks stats~ That way I can kinda see what I need to be ordering~
