This way they will always be able to have to foods that made their childhoods special. Sigma Tau Delta celebrated Jane Austen's birthday before the end of the semester. This will probably be the last of the Christmas stitching of the year. I have other projects I want to work on. I really love this gold flecked aida with the etoile floss combo. Glittery!
