Brilliant — thank you! I also used box 3 for my notes.

Fantastic coloring exercise. Box 3 came into play late enough that I was able to use it for my “notes”.

Very nice! I needed some notes to keep track of what was going on. The break-in seems almost impossible to find without these notes and was gorgeous. Thanks

Tough nut to crack, but quite satisfying when it does.
