I know. If testing wasn’t such quick turnaround I’d love to have overseas testers! But you know how long shipping takes. For future reference, however, if you live abroad (from the U.S., that is) and have access to inexpensive oversized printing we may be able to work something out! Email me and let me know if this is the case, ok? I’d love to…[Read more]

@kgiff, new teacher. I may as well earn a few Brownie points 🙂

Next up, some nighties for Trixie…[Read more]
