Thank you, sweet Claire. I'm so glad I was able to work on it while hanging out with you. A friend once said something about how with projects like these, the memories you make while working them become part of the project itself. I love thinking of all the places I've been and people I've been around while I worked away on this thing. So much fun. Such good times. Especially with you! :)

Thanks, everyone! It turns out there was a glitch in how Etsy pulled entries for review in the initial round of the contest, and now mine has been listed as a semi-finalist and is open for voting! You can read more about it on my blog, or just head straight to Etsy to vote (you'll need to be a registered Etsy user, but it just takes a minute). Spread the word if you like. :)
