Your daughter sounds like a wonderful young person ... which isn't a surprise ... she has a good role model.<br /><br />Years ago when money was tight, I made Christmas gifts either on my sewing machine or counted cross stitch creations. My mother still uses what I've given to her. When somebody gives me something handmade, it truly touches my heart. Now I give my best photos on canvas when I want to give a special gift.

I know the gifts I anticipate giving the most are things I have made especially for the people I'm giving them to. I'm sure that drawing of Mugsy will be a treasure for many years to come. terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.com
