She even stitched on the layouts, she was so impressed with that idea! The cube had to have each side withsomething about her. A portrait, her family, babyhood, holiday or favouriteouting, personal interests and a timeline. I think she did a fab job of itand she even got an A++ for it at school. Well deserved I think, but I couldbe a little biased LOL."
