Packing Night Jan 2016

It was a chilly packing night - lots of chatter, photographing, sorting, boxing, vacuuming and taping.  Soon your beautiful things will be on a wonderful Canadian North plane to Jimmy Hikok school and to Cape Dorset.

In the interest of brevity, I'm just going to list names and towns below, for the contributions we hadn't photographed yet.  They are all so beautiful!

Thank you to my packing night gems: Carlene, Suzanne, Rebecca, Catriona, Claire, Jeanine.  I love you all.
