    Thank you, Grace Smith, for your family’s service to our country. (As a former military member and spouse, I know how fulfilling but hard that can be.) Prayers for your husband’s safety as he serves in the US Navy. Thank you for offering such a generous prize! When it comes to craft supplies, I agree, “the more the better!” Wishing you much sucess with Athena’s Elements.
