Hailey  (hva333) | 0 comments Sorry! I just saw this! I have been wondering where my thread was, so I logged my books in on paper because I was confused on where my thread was! I am so sorry, I didn't check the mini-challenge folder, it was my first time doing it and I wasn't sure where to find everything.
