  1. Just a FYI, I was putting the Temple Match game together and realized that I had 8 copies of the Vernal Temple. Was wondering if there were ones that got missed or not.
    Thanks for all you do. I have so many of your projects in the works. I just love this site.

  2. You are AMAZING!!! I need to get to work putting my binder together and acquiring the needed information to do so.

    Thanks for putting this out so we can all be better prepared.
