How many times have you totally forgotten to pay that person back, or vice versa… you or they have been totally stiffed.

In our group we have Janeen who is responsible for The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake Ever, Kristin the mastermind of the soon to be released Deal or Bust, your's truly, and Christene one of my regular contributors and who is also about ready to publish her first novel. What a fun group!!
