| This was supposed to be a fun project for my art-loving girl. Instead, it started out as a nightmare that involved tears (we even had to replace the bottom left square due to tear-damage :( ) and refrains of "I can't do this!" I am so proud of her efforts and in the end I think she surprised herself! |
