Stacked Stones Studio!

Hope you have a wonderful day...I appreciate each and everyone of you! We are working on a project to show our support to the viewers of WPBM 31 (Proclaim Broadcasting) who have been affected by the recent tornadoes and storms that caused such devastation in Kentucky and Tennessee.
