Sunday Sweets is SICK

Hi, everyone! Sharyn here.

Jen and John were off at Dragon Con last weekend, so since they figured they'd be down with Con Crud all week, they asked if I'd write Sweets for today.

Tea just tastes better from a pretty cup, doesn't it?

OK, we still need a comfy quilt or two to keep them warm. 

Aha!

Found a stack! (Get it?)

Right, I think we're all set.

And for the rest of you: May your Sunday be Sweet, and may you never face...
