And, when re-visiting his blog, I also saw another article, "Make something for somebody. "A short 3 paragraphs that sums up my belief, when we take time to make anything for someone else, it gets us outside ourselves. And that, I think is a very good thing.

I loved the article "Make something for somebody". Thanks for the link, Jacki. Now and then I sew pajamas for my grandchildren. And then I tell them that I worked in lots of good wishes so that they would sleep much better and dream only lovely stories. I hope they believe me because it is true. While working for them I always hope they'll have a good and happy life. Maybe it helps?
Great layering. You have motivated me to try my hand at a digital collage. My Christmas card is one. I will share it with you later in the month. :-)
Thank you, Elenor. I am sure that your magical sewing gives your grandchildren only the very best dreams. They are blessed.
Wonderful, John, I am already looking forward to it!
