A princess of the Kingdom with a passion for singing and making people smile!
First got into SNC in 2006 when a friend (knowing my LOVE of fabulous acapella) sent me the YouTube video of The 12 Days of Christmas (in the middle of summer). Been a fan ever since... I've forwarded the video to countless friends. Hafta spread the SNC love!
