You are such a delightful source of inspiration for decorating and stitching. I never thought I would go back to cross stitching again after leaving it for quilting-- apparently I thought I could do one and not two things that demanded my money and time while teaching, but now retired I am returning to my first love, thank you, thank you!
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
