Nancy,
Thank you so much for all the beautiful seasonal tutorials. I’ve loved each one and will miss having a special lesson each day. These fans are lovely and so sweet. The victorian design will be so pretty on the tree or as a gift wrap trim. Thank you again, and best wishes for a wonderful holiday.
