Hi Allison I love your series “Murder She Baked” and you and your Co-Star look so good together. Hopefully you will keep making those episodes. I like your hair a little shorter than when you wore in 2015. Claudia
I really like Murder She Baked too. Very wholesome. I’m sorry Cameron Mitchell decided to leave, but I really like Victor Brewster.
