ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, Mimi!! It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteI just read about a typhoon somewhere in the Philippines on Friday. I hope that since you posted this on Friday, that you are safe! And everyone in your family, too.
Thank you Tina :)
ReplyDeleteThe typhoon is way down South, far from us. It is so unfortunate that they were not prepared for the worst, and so many died.
I read that they were asleep when it happened. So sad. I looked at a map after I posted this message, and saw it was far south of you. (The news article I read started out "Manila, Philippines"... So I thought at first that it happened there... Then I read the rest of the article.)
ReplyDeleteI love the gold border!!! Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for such a professional tutorial, dear Mimi. I agree with Lucy, I love the touch of the gold border.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy and Vik, glad you liked it :)))
