Wowie...Zowie...only 20 sleeps left!

Strip two is done...on to strip 3.  So now I will have a  'D' & 'J' beside my name!  I am so happy with how quickly this is coming together...and all that stressing...for what?  And only 20 more sleeps...that's 20 Australian sleeps but only 19 Canadian sleeps!  LOL
Things are a little out of kilter on the bottom but I think it will all work out in the end.  I sure hope so anyways.  Enjoy your stripping ladies...soon it will all be done and we will be having withdrawl symptoms.  That's what happened to me after TTS....life felt so empty without a Chooky SAL to work on until we got going on SKoW of course.  I wonder what she has in store for us next....dont give up on us Chooky...we will not disappoint you!  We are all going to finish...right ladies?!  Happy Stripping!

Good pep talk.....thanks. I had to trim mine off at the bottom and some of the patchwork looked a little scrunched but it is okay.
