Gorjuss cross stitch!

Wow, I just found out that Gorjuss girls are available in cross stitch kits!
This is probably old news to most of you as I'm usually a bit slow on the uptake but as I just found out I just had to make a post...now my only problem is which one to get...although I really should finish some of my other 'in progress' cross stitch projects first.... oh the decisions!!
