Thanks so much for this adorable Santa project. I have loved the cards I have seen along the hop, but it is always fun to get another type of project thrown in for good measure, and this is so lovely. Also, thanks for doing the video, I am visual learner and it always helps when I can see how something was created. This hop has been such a blast and j want to thank you, as well as SSS for participating and for sponsoring. I have had such fun each day seeing who is behind the door and getting inspiration and tips from so many different crafters, bloggers and companies. Merry Christmas and thank you again.
