Carriem, thank you for your kind comment. I'm looking forward to seeing your project,too.
Emma,you've got that right! Im in the flowers, ribbon, color, more-is-better corner. My daughter is in the neutral, minimal, simply unadorned camp. She probably wanted to get away from all of her mother's clutter! hers was fun to make, but not something I would make for myself.
Thank you, Nanna up North. Im just so happy I learned how to post pix!
Narnian, Nice finish! It must feel good to get one done even amidst a crazy schedule!
Im hoping I can remember that slow and steady wins the race, and not crash and burn next month when our schedule gets busy!
