Hi Tricia! I really enjoyed the chat tonight and learned SO much about homeschooling and Chasing Mona Lisa! I won a copy of the Passport Unit Study (and yes, I jumped up and down when I saw that!!), and I was wondering if I'm supposed to send an email to Amy, or will she be contacting me since she probably has my email address from the trivia answer. I'm just really excited to have won such a terrific prize! Thanks so much, and have a wonderful evening (don't have any more coffee, woman, or you'll never get to sleep! LOL) :D
