Spring to Finish: I Took the Out

My last enumerated Spring to Finish item was: 10.  Make something? for Elena’s teachers at Mother’s Day Out.  I’ll give myself an out and buy something if need be, but I’d like to find something to make them or for their kids. Well, this one is DONE.  Elena’s last day of Mother’s Day Out/Preschool was [...]
