I finished Sandy’s tam in plenty of time to deliver it to her. She seemed very pleased by it, running off several times to try it on in front of a mirror. She says that she never wears hats, but plans to wear this one. \u00a0That makes me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Sandy, if you ever read this, let me just say again THANK YOU for everything you’ve done for us. You are the BEST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
