Hi Chelle, Just checked out "Lacemaker and the Princess" it looks interesting. We're moving on to other subjects this year, but I'll have to try and remember it for the future--just in case I have room to squeeze it in.

Hi Allie!
I found LM & P an interesting (lite) read, so I'm hoping my dd will enjoy it too ;)
After a comment like that ....I'm very interested to see what you are doing this year☺

Hope your planning time has gone well!!
