You need to do what you love ! You have given so much to all of , now it’s your turn to enjoy everything you have given to us . We love 💕 you have lots of fun !

[@cyndythomas7217]

Although I don’t cross stitch as much as I used to, I watch your flosstube videos. It’s like having a friend come to talk with you. Your content is knowledgeable, witty and fun. Thank you X❤️X

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much, Cyndy!

[@conniehernadi4451]

My favorite class in school was math! Math always has a right answer. Thanks for the floss tube always enjoy.

[@sewgrateful15]

Hello friend, I forgot to come back and say what a marvelous video. Thanks for the laugh and keeping me company while stitching last evening. You help make this community a lovely place to land. Happy Stitching, Happy Spring. Your friend, Daleen

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Love being in this community with you, Daleen. Someday we'll get to meet up in person and stitch together, instead of just stitching with each others videos!

[@kristimartin3427]

Congrats on running your cross stitch shop full time! My favorite classes in school and college was any area of science!

[@carollorion5130]

In grade school I loved reading and later I liked learning history. Thank you for the fun video.

[@bonniemiller8680]

My favourite subject was Math - love your flosstube and your website - thanks for all you do for this community!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Bonnie!

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

Part of what I love so much about Flosstube is seeing how everyone makes pieces their own. A Quaker Dwelling has never really called to me, but seeing it on your fabric has made me reconsider that. Your version is lovely! In highschool English was my favorite subject - I loved both literature and composition. In college, my favorite classes were my history classes. I'm working toward a second Bachelor's degree right now, and I'm taking a short story class which combines the best of both worlds for me.. we've been reading some great short stories and our final project will be to write our own short story.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

That sounds like exactly the kind of class I'd like - short stories, and then writing one! Sometimes I miss college classes. 🙂 And I was the same as you about Quaker Dwelling. Thought it was pretty, but wasn't tempted to stitch it until I saw it on colored fabric!

[@karlalaplante7244]

History was my favorite subject in high school...and still a history buff!

[@margaretblank9351]

I'm watching this 8 months after you posted it...and am cracking up over the 'fanny packs' and "Marmaduke'. LOL! Thank you for bringing such merriment to your posts! LOVE it!

[@kerryw1958]

In high school I liked biology. In college I absolutely loved anatomy and physiology.

[@kathygretter6880]

My favorite classes in high school were English/literature and Biology. I really enjoyed the teachers and I like words. The complex words in biology were fun to learn. Truly enjoy your videos. You visit with us like we are face to face and old friends! Have a beautiful and joyous spring.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Wouldn't that be fun - to be chatting in a stitching circle in person?

[@cindyflinchbaugh8292]

My favorite class in school was third grade, my teacher was amazing. I was an extremely shy kid and she always made me feel more confidant, smarter and creative than I was. Remembering back I can see how she did that for each child in the class. She was very special. Great video, congratulations on yarn shop sale and the success of your cross-stitch endeavor. See you next time.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Hi Cindy! My third grade teacher was one of my very favorites, too. Such good memories of her and that class!

[@lisahenderson2975]

My favorite class in high school was Greek Mythology/Myths & Legends, it was fun learning about these and the teacher was great!

[@carlarigel252]

Thanks for sharing another great video. I always look forward to your next installment! I love your projects.

[@susanannmilikas6748]

My favorite subject in school was English, I loved writing stories and reading books!

[@wandamccoll3739]

I am so excited for you that you have made a decision that makes your life more manageable. It's fabulous that your co-worker/friend purchased The Loopy Ewe from you. It is always great to have a visit with you and see your beautiful stitching. I will never again look at my A&E on His Eye is on The Sparrow without seeing fanny packs! Thanks as always and happy stitching!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

😂 Sorry to put the idea of fanny packs in your head on that one! I just couldn't get past it!

[@conniesteele7213]

In elementary school I loved art. In high school I loved geometry and in college I enjoyed any life science such as zoology, botany or anatomy and physiology. I enjoy your floss tubes.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much for watching, Connie!

[@Janis_The_Intrepid_Stitcher]

From the moment I learned to read at age 5 I couldn't stop. I still read about 250 books a year - except now they're audio books so I can stitch and read at the same time. Biographies, history, romantic suspense, mystery, dystopian, post-apocalyptical, and of course Jane Austen, are among my favorites. Thanks so much for the Tea Cakes recipe. I LOVE tea cakes and this recipe looks interesting.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Since this was my first foray into Tea Cakes, you'll have to let me know if you like the recipe (or if you have a better one to share with me!!)

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

That antique sampler is precious

[@faeriepabich6414]

Sheri, so happy to spend time with you again! Loved seeing all the things, and hearing all the stories. My favorite subject in school was always history…I just loved learning the stories of the past! Didn’t pursue it as a career at all, but I think our loving of stitching/knitting/quilting is related to our love of hand work and simpler times. Take care until next time!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I think you're absolutely right!

[@anaesturoelejaldeperso]

History was my favourite class and still is . Everything related to history interest me even in stitching patterns. Right now stitching Early americans

[@pattyklingsporn3315]

Always a lot of knowledge for us. I always loved all kinds of Math!

[@juliemaclean679]

So glad to see you! I am so happy that The Loopy Ewe is just cross stitch. Hopefully with you running it is will be super! In high school, I enjoy English, learn a lot , great teachers. I love all the new stuff, goodness. Thanks so much, take care 🤗

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks, Julie! I'm happy to be full time cross stitching, soon. (The Loopy Ewe will still be all yarn, as that is the business that my long time employee is taking over. ColoradoCrossStitcher will be all about cross stitch, though!)

[@margaretfoshee7734]

Glad you are back.love all your stitching.i am a one pattern at a time person.

[@scoobers3493]

You were a fantastic scrapbook teacher, you taught me! Of course your stickers would look fabulous, it’s in your blood to be creative. 😁

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Did I??? I still have big plans to go back to doing more albums one day when life settles down! (With nicely done stickers.) Meanwhile, I'm having fun playing with stickers again and not having to worry about a theme or a specific look - ha!

[@deeabrams9212]

Love it all! Happy Stitching!

[@lindabiggerstaff7135]

So glad to see you 🤗 Always love your floss tubes.....

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Linda!

[@juliekoss7038]

So happy to see you! My favorite classes were Home Economics and math. That love has continued as I now teach 5th grade math.

[@cyndimartinez524]

My favorite high school subject was math. It just made since to me. I placed out of all my math in college. I got a master’s degree in speech pathology with minors in English and psychology. Now retired after 38 years of working in my field. I now do some part time work inputting data in Quickbooks for a company. ❤️

[@lindafowler1738]

Band was the only class I liked in high school. In college, I really liked algebra (I took because was out of school for 9 years) because the professor explained it so well plus, bonus, he was so good to look at.

[@maureenlopez9266]

Your Huckleberry Farm is looking beautiful, and I love the fabric you're stitching Quaker Dwelling on! And that little antique sampler you purchased is so sweet. Glad you rescued it so it can continue to be treasured by someone! I'm glad you are happy retiring your yarn store to someone you know. You are so fortunate to have been able to build businesses from the crafting you love whether it was scrapbooking, knitting, or cross stitch. I hope your cross stitch shop brings you lots of happiness😊 My favorite school subjects were literature and psychology. Have a great few weeks! Hope they're not as frantic as the past few have been!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Maureen! You're right - I have loved having businesses built around my passions all these years. So excited to be able to focus fully on the stitching now!

[@robynknits]

Your Kathy Barrick piece is fabulous on Havana.

[@keepsakestitches7591]

Congrats on your new adventure with a cross stitch shop. I used to have my own shop and it was so much fun with all the designs and classes. When you showed the bunny head you purchased from Hobby Lobby, I thought you might be interested in seeing what the lady does with it on the You Tube Channel, The Little Blue Fly, the title of the video is Create a MacKenzie Childs Inspired Bunny Step by Step, March 4, 2021. Click on her videos and scroll down and you can see the title and the gold bunny head that she has painted. It might be a nice break for you with all that you have on your plate right now. So good to hear from you and all your plans. Best Wishes, Norma in Boise, ID.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I will check that out - sounds fun. Thanks for sharing!

[@stitchythings]

Through all my schoolyears my favourite subjects were Crafts and English. You made me LOL when you talked about Adam and Eve and the fanny packs 😂. Love the colour fabric and thead you picked out for the Family Sampler. Joanita 🌷

[@sherryclifton4947]

You look wonderful! Don’t listen to anyone else. Great news for Loopy you, spell check forgiven. I’ve missed you and great to see you again. Hugs and kisses.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Ha - thank you, Sherry!!

[@lwright622]

My favorite subject in school was drawing. I took many art classes but I have to say drawing was my favorite. I adore the bunny with spectacles. I would love to see him in your shop.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I always wished I had the drawing gene - what a fun talent!

[@marymccarty4725]

I really loved science classes and our art and craft class was also a favorite. In college I loved my nursing classes. Loved all your Flosstubes. Thanks for all your work. Mary

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Mary!

[@CarolRogers50]

He is risen gorgeous

[@melissahill8565]

Really love the Quaker Dwelling on the mustard fabric!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you! I am loving it, too!

[@lorisalem1390]

My favorite subject in high school was Brit Lit and a close second was World Lit. Reading literature from other countries enabled me to travel there in my mind and has given me a life-long love of British Literature, especially.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I think I would have loved Brit Lit!

[@susansaunders397]

Glad to see you again & to see all of your stitching & goodies! Favorite subject in high school was art history, & in college, was Ethics, which was actually taught by the President of the college. He was a fabulous teacher & could lead the best debates!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

That's really fun that the president of the college still taught classes - I bet he loved that opportunity in addition to all of his responsibilities!

[@cheryls6921]

Love your flosstube and seeing all your beautiful projects! My favorite subject in high school was Geometry. Loved figuring out the answers; like solving a puzzle! Looking forward to seeing more of your channel!!

[@hillstitch80]

Loved physics in high school, mostly as they teacher was an amazing woman. Great video with excellent ideas as usual!!

[@AllisonNorris13]

Winter Camp was soo fun!

[@dinasnyder9994]

My favorite class was History. All they my schools. I still read about history

[@conniesimonich2327]

My favorite class in grade school was spelling and in high school it was geography because my teacher made it fun. Glad to see you back.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Teachers make all the difference, don't they?

[@sharons1198]

My favorite class was math. I ended up in finance before retiring so it worked out well. As always, I’m looking forward to your next video. Have a great week.

[@Chris-nc3qp]

My favorite subject was math in high school. The longer the problem the more fun it was. I also enjoyed bookkeeping which also was a lot of math.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

See, hearing about long math problems just makes me shudder. Thank goodness for all of you who do love math!

[@melodiethomas659]

Glad to see your new flosstube. Hope things calm down for you soon. My favorite class in high school was Accounting.

[@karenholler6561]

I’ll date myself, my favorite class was shorthand! Our teacher was hilarious with his stories and made class interesting. I’m enjoying your flosstubes and wish you the best in your “retirement”.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I always wanted to learn shorthand! I have no idea why. I think just the idea that you could write things down as fast as someone spoke, and when you were done you had a secret looking language - so cool.

[@The1952trouble]

My favorite subject in school was Book Keeping and Music.

[@CornhuskerStateStitchers]

My favorite subject was English. You're a hoot when you're tired; between the "fanny pack" and the frown face beside the "butterfly", I was rolling. Terri

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

😂

[@kathyakins8262]

My favorite class in high school was history. I had a wonderful teacher who always shared more information than what was presented in the history book. Really taught me to enjoy researching when developing characters and plot ideas for my fiction writing now.

[@brendaoldyarnsteryahoo328]

My favorite class in graduate school was Oceanography. I learned so much about the ocean that intrigued me.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I think history is one of those subjects where you really need a very engaged teacher to teach it. The whole subject of history is full of so many cool things, but my history teachers were just not passionate about the subject. Sadly.

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

I love the little antique sampler you purchased. Your Bristol Berries is so pretty, I love the red you chose. His Eyes on the Sparrow is looking beautiful too, and yes, looks like Adam and Eve are wearing fanny packs. Thank you for another wonderful update and congratulations on your new business shift to cross stitch without the yarn, I’m sure you will be most successful and it sounds like a very happy decision. My favourite class in school was English composition and literature.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Lorraine!

[@susanfromcolorado623]

Sheri it was so wonderful to see you and start my morning with your floss tube! I love all that you share and I’m amazed at h ow quickly you get your orders out to us! In high school was World Literature and Orchestra. (I played the Cello thru middle school, high school and college). My major in college was graphic design so my days were filled with marvelous art classes. Back in my day we drew everything by hand - no computers. I loved every minute of it. Thank you for your inspiration in all you share with us! I get giddy when I see a new floss tube is up. One of these days I hope to visit your shop! I live on the Western Slope so we are almost neighbors ◡̈

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Would so love to have you visit the shop, Susan! :-). And I love that your college days were filled with art classes. That would have been my dream. (You know, if I had any ounce of drawing ability to save my life....)

[@A.M.Taylor55]

My favorite was math…all of them. Algebra, trig, geometry and yes statistics!

[@beckyhautanen1774]

Good to see you! My favorite subject was History...became a Social Studies teacher, now retired, Your stitching is gorgeous. Don't take unkind remarks to heart...you look fine...just ordered one of the rabbit pictures from Early Things 1776...thank you for your hard work to further needlework!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Glad you found a fun rabbit picture that you needed!

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

My favorite class was history. Still is to this day ❤️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I wish I had had a good history teacher. The subject is SO interesting, but my history teachers always put me to sleep. 😞 (Not literally. But just so not interesting!)

[@suzannrogers1150]

I loved and still love math, In college, I loved math and computer programming. Your videos are so enjoyable.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much for watching, Suzann!

[@kriscook5703]

I loved creative writing also, my teacher was my speech and debate couch also, she always encouraged us to think out of the box.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Teachers can make all the difference in subjects, can't they? I'm glad you had a good one!

[@knottytales]

My favourite subjects were Maths and Accounts. The more logical the better. Lol. Love all your stitching.

[@heidilehnig3099]

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed math, office /business, and home ec

[@loisschumacher9869]

So happy to see you again! I have missed you! Especially appreciate your shop update. And of course all the stitching beauty! Thank you for sharing!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Lois!

[@lisaverizzi5428]

I’m so excited for you and your decision to sell you yarn business. It must be nice to know that it will be carried on by someone else that loves yarn. As for me, I just got my first order from you and I couldn’t be happier. Fast shipping, beautiful package, and the surprise of your floss tags. Thank you so much!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you, Lisa! I'm thrilled that Loopy lives on, and also that I can more into cross stitching full time now. And thank you for your order!

[@Karen-ed8vc]

I so enjoyed your video….the Fanny packs on Adam & Eve😂 your creativity and sense of humor is a gift. Thank you for sharing your love of cross stitch. My favorite school subject was reading/English…I am still an avid reader and look forward to my book club each month.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you, Karen - I appreciate you watching and being virtual stitchy friends with me!

[@carmieanderson3593]

Art and home ec were my favorite in school

[@greggsbeckymoore349]

I'm so happy to see you back! My favorite subject in school was always history.... all histoy: Egyptian, American, English, and European.... just all of it. It got me to really think and try to understand the reasons things remain the same or change. I'm glad you are well and you are learning to let go of some things to focus on others. It's very difficult to make such a decision, so good for you 😊. See you next time! Becky Moore

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks, Becky! It's all good - so happy that Loopy will live on under Kristine's direction, and so happy that I can turn full time to cross stitching. 🙂

[@susanlopiano7885]

My favorite class in High School was Business Law. I really enjoyed that class, it was very informative and interesting. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@sherylross4461]

I loved Math when I was in High School

[@cheryl9353]

Favorite subject in school was math and specifically Algebra and Calculus! Loved having lots of problems to solve and feeling so satisfied when I conquered them!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

That has to be really satisfying! I never took Calculus - was not a big math person. But I liked my Algebra class solely because of my teacher, who made it fun!

[@Diamondqueen781]

I have always loved science I did animal biology at university then went on to do a masters in animal nutrition. Loving all the stitching xx

[@annies2416]

Congratulations on your decision to sell your yarn store and focus on cross stitch. I’m sure it’s exhausting but I think you always need to follow your heart.💕 As for me, once a science nerd, always a science nerd!🕵🏻🧫🧪🌡💉🔬🔭🪴🧬🦠💫🪐🌪🐶🐯🐝🦋

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you, Annie! I'm happy with how everything worked out and so looking forward to more focus on the stitching. 🙂

[@laurastewartnoell]

My first visit. I feel I need to go back and catch up on all the past Flosstubes!!!! My favorite subject in elementary school was English (grammar) because I loved diagramming sentences! In high school it was English, mainly because of my teacher♥️ I had Mrs. Nelms for 2 years and she was my angel on Earth while I struggled to be a teenage girl. I went on to be a 4th grade teacher for 32 years☺️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I'm so glad you found my channel - thanks for watching, Laura! Aren't some teachers just the best? They can make such a difference in our lives and I'm glad you had a wonderful one when you especially needed her.

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Nice Market Haul, I stitch on many fabric counts, favorite subject was Math

[@KimberlyL1958]

Thx for the video, Sheri. Congrats on your decision to make your life less hectic. Life is too short for that! Math of course. 🙂

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Kimberly!

[@staceywalker7670]

Sheri, I was so excited to see your episode post! I met you at Nashville and so appreciate you spending time with me discussing the idea of opening a store. I truly appreciate your insight, suggestions and honesty. So excited for your new adventure in the next phase of your business ownership. Wishing you success. Don’t forget about reading audiobooks for us all in the future! Lol

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Hi Stacey! I had so much fun talking with you and am so glad we could meet. Keep me posted!!

[@virpir2453]

That project bag bag looked so handy! My favorite subject at school was chemistry. Teacher gave me special exam for me cause he taught the normal one would be too easy.

[@kathycrouch2291]

Loved home economics in school with math coming in a close second.

[@vickien4524]

I did not have a favorite class in High School. I was on pep squad so that was fun but that was after school. I loved college when I finally got to the Nursing program. Couldn’t get enough of those classes. Can’t wait until you get “Keeper of the Pins” back in stock.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

It's fun when you hit just the right subject that meshes with your interests, isn't it? All of a sudden ALL of those classes are relevant and wonderful!

[@marlenechurchill3664]

One of my favorite subjects in grade and high school was world history..so happy for you in your new endeavor! Another wonderful video!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much for watching, Marlene!

[@adinasalmansohn9842]

Like you, I am drawn to that Quaker Dwelling. I also love Kathy Barrick’s Parliament of Owls. In school, my favorite classes were English, History, and Band. I went on to music school for college. I’m glad the Loopy Ewe will live on!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Yes, I want to do those owls eventually, too - so cool!

[@lorelei9393]

Congrats on change of ownership of Loopy Ewe. Glad it's going to someone like minded. Sorry for the stress of the transition though. Loved seeing all your pieces. We all have more than we can stitch in a lifetime. Collecting is just a different hobby. Math and sciences were favorite subjects in school. Keep stitching

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Amen to that. I love both parts - the stitching AND the collecting!

[@colleen2503]

I’m enjoying your videos. My favorite class in school at all levels was always English. I was lucky to have the best and most memorable teachers and always have liked to write.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Colleen!

[@rebeccajohnson3873]

My favorite class was Social Studies, thanks love your podcast!

[@lindakenison405]

Enjoyed your video. My favorite class in high school was chemistry and in college was organic chemistry. I am a chemical engineer so it fits! Happy stitching!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Happy to see you back! You look beautiful btw 😊

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Well, you're sweet. I still maintain that I look tired, but I'm working on it!!

[@kristi.schwisow]

My favorite school subject to learn and teach was American history.

[@maureenw2151]

Good evening Sherri from Ontario, Canada! I enjoy your Flosstubes & seeing your beautiful stitching. Oh my goodness, your antique sampler is lovely. Great question of the day.....I have a few favourites: sciences, physics, math & as such I ended up in healthcare!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

That sounds like a good fit for the subjects you loved!

[@joyd5000]

Good to see you again, I was wondering if I somehow missed an episode! My favorite class was world history.

[@helenb4877]

So glad for another floss tube from you. I always love everything you show and talk about. My favorite subject in both elementary and high school was English, because like you I loved to write and still do. In college my major was Nursing and my favorite subjects were all the psych classes. Are we related? 😂 Have a happy stitchy week.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Ha - maybe so!

[@vickyhays9168]

Loved the event page in your calendar and wanted to share about a special exhibit. The Rocky Mountain Chapter of Embroiderer’s Guild of America will host a needlework exhibit at Old Town Library in Fort Collins from April 1 to May 31st in the newly remodeled Treehouse Area and a couple of other spaces.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Wonderful - I will have to go see that. Thanks for sharing, Vicky!

[@monaortego1204]

My very favorite classes is sciences! Welcome back!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks, Mona!

[@AllisonNorris13]

I loved science because I love labs!

[@joyfulstitching6190]

Im not even 1/4 way through the video and I am cracking up - fanny packs marmaduke - 1over1 not wanting to do it again yet!! Thanks for making my Monday! Back to sewing and watching - and by the way you look lovely! Congrats on selling the Loopy Ewe - and blessing someone else with the opportunity. Have a great day!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for sharing part of your Monday with me!!

[@lindamelz242]

Congrats on your change of paths. You have such Beautiful projects and I love your house sampler and the story behind it . The tea cakes look yummy. Another great FT.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Linda!

[@jowahlgren2554]

Glad you’re back. Congratulations on your business ventures. Totally enjoy your snippets of general knowledge and your encouragement to stick with our projects. I would say my favorite subject/teacher was Mrs McCollum in the 3rd and 4th grade. It was a small school and 2 classes shared a room/teacher, so I had her twice. I learned so much in those 2 years. She was so kind and compassionate to a child who was socially awkward and a bit lazy in her work. I remember in the 4th grade we had a lesson on telephone etiquette. I burst into tears when it was my turn to respond. We didn’t have a phone, I had never used one. When the others started to laugh, she quickly took the class into hand and gently guided me through the lesson. She was the greatest.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Aww - what a sweet story. Teachers can make all the difference in a child's life. I'm so glad you had Mrs. McCollum in yours. ❤

[@roseheck9841]

I love your stitched projects, especially Jane Banister. I’m a bit biased though, as she was stitched in 2019, and because of her, I won an antique sampler from HATS at the end of December.m! My favourite subject in high school was band. I played in concert band and stage band. It was my escape for the stressors of teenage life.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Wow - what a great prize!!
