  47. jericoliz says:

    Last night I was in the middle of watching a My Favorite Things INK video when I paused it to take care of dinner. When I came back it wouldn’t start again so I thought I’d just watch it in the morning. In the morning it’s gone. I can’t find it anywhere at all. Not YouTube, not on your blog on website. I’m stumped. Did I imagine that I saw part of an ink video? Am I loosing my mind?
