Thanks Lisa
Welcome to the challenge, Elaine!
I know I'm posting this challenge a little early, but I think next week is going to be crazy. Can you believe Christmas is in 11 days!
Thank you Lisa.I have all the presents but if only they could wrap themselves!
I like to wrap. I wish I could beam myself there and help you.I did get all mine mailed last week, so that was a relief.
I'm sewing one, but I'm not sure I'll get it finished. I'd like to consult my teacher on it before I do it, so I don't ruin it. But, I don't think that is going to happen in the next 11 days!
Can't you keep it for a birthday? Or is it a Christmas theme?
Well....I should have had it to her for her last birthday in July. LOL! I know, I'm bad.
I'm in for January. I'm going to see if I can do the whole year.HEAD: Over in a Flash - January, 2015
