In this way you can help the SA team to use their time more efficiently. Here is the link to the packing instructions: http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/topics/2015-revised-packing-slip
Last but not least, a big thank you to the SA Team for all the work they do!

Thank you, Sharon, for a well-rounded report. And on top of hosting the monthly theme! Many, many thanks.
Another great Snippets, Sharon. You have certainly had your hands full. Thank you so very much.....we may just have to call you Superwoman. :))
What a great compilation of information Sharon. Looks like you found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Thank you Sharon for this month's colourful Snippets!
Thank you for a great round up of events.
What a great edition this is, Sharon! I have been busy with family on my little holiday, so have not been able to keep up with everything that has been happening. Thank you for pulling it all together here in one neat and colorful little package! xo
