    Thanks Kathleen. These hats were all made with crepe paper. Pity the image needs to be low-res because it is a bit brighter in full-res.

    Oh, I can see now, initially thought it might be a blessing of the hats;)

    Much appreciated, Jessica.

    Well, Shanina, your thought about the blessing of the hats is so much more interesting than the reality!
