I (almost) miss teaching young kids. Christmastime is so much fun with little ones!
Great answers to your questionnaire! I started my knitting for Christmas this summer too. I can't wait for this swap to start! It will be a lot of fun.
Thanks for sharing Jane! I like snowmen too and I think it's so wonderful that your school still celebrates Christmas! It seems like not too many do that anymore :( I hope you're enjoying the swap so far and thanks for filling out your questionnaire!
