I loved "The Fruitcake Challenge" - and I enjoy fruit cake when it is homemade. Had never thought of putting a creme sauce on fruitcake though and would love to try it!!<br /><br />My favorite part of "The Fruitcake Challenge" was seeing how God worked everything out to the good for everyone. I enjoyed learning a little more about lumbercamps also.<br /><br />I've really enjoyed reading the books included in the Christmas Traditions Series and would love to have paperback copies of "The Fruitcake Challenge" and "Return to Shirley Plantation" (I love to keep paperbacks of the books I enjoy, as well as the eBooks), as well as the "A Cup of Christmas Cheer" books!!<br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful book, Carrie!! Prayers, love, and hugs!! Bonnie Roofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-31345465353568509802014-09-12T20:14:56.280-04:002014-09-12T20:14:56.280-04:00TY, Vicki!
