Just the half a day I participated in was so much fun! Wish I could have been there for more of it! Thanks for letting me vicariously live through it via your pictures. I love the Pete + Lee dolls, and I still want to cross stitch toast. Maybe today.

I’m bookmarking this post… maybe we can hire you as a tour guide when we come!
