@JenniferMaker today while Greg was putting together the machine, you started to get out of "business mode" a little and relax and talk to us in a non teacher way. I really enjoyed it. I loved it! I loved hearing how you met and things about your home and your daughter and Japan..... It was great!

[@jeanmartinez6817]

You are amazing! Thank you for all the fantastic resources.

[@samanthaabbott8962]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SiteAdmin-ms7th]

For those having trouble fitting the SCORE file onto the 12x12 mat: On the file that uses scoring, look closely at the size of the bag pieces, up where it gives the precise measurements. You will notice that the size is actually 11.502". I just deselected the lock ratio, deleted the .002 part and it works fine now.

[@earthangel6522]

Replay crew. These are cute.
