Surprise Box from the Occasions Mini Catalog

Posted on December 26, 2011 by buffycooper

Happy “Boxing Day!”  These projects have nothing to do with “Boxing Day,” except that they were mailed in a box. A very dear friend of mine just had surgery, and she’ll be “convalescing” for awhile.  This is a woman who … Continue reading →
