I am going to finally do the cross stitch

I have been wanting to do a cross stitch that I saw in a magazine about 4 years ago.  Yesterday I found the magazine when I unpacked a box of book.  So off I went this morning to buy aida cloth and thread.  5 hours later (3.5 of which were spent on a bus), I returned home with everything I needed!  I promise to show you the finished product.
