Oooh so sad

Sad because this is the last pink carnation and I love, love, love this series. I am so thankful that I found two of the books in an opshop for only 75 cents or so. this is an awesome series. great for escapism and it they always bring smiles. I also like how we get to see more of the 'older' characters again. I am definitely impressed with is author.
