Mystery Designs Checklist

For those who don't want to see photographs of the mystery designs, here is a checklist. The descriptions are taken from Loretta Spears' now defunct website, courtesy of DH.  At Lara's suggestion I've added links to each article so you can go there quickly if you want more information than what Loretta herself provided.  SPOILER ALERT:  There are photographs in each article so don't click on the link if you don't want to see how the mystery piece looks.

Here is a bit about how Loretta handled her mystery designs.
