I am SOOO glad I worked on this. Even though it was "off limits" for the party today, almost every person was in the room at one point or another. d-i-l used it to wrap presents, ds27 used it to change diapers, etc LOL ... so much for off-limits. The cat hangs out in there as she is very anti-social.
