Last night's story, "Made with Love" teaches little Oliver that hand-made gifts have so much more meaning than store bought ones. I wish that I had the time and talent to make gifts for the ones I love! I am in awe of all those that do and the envy I have for this talent was reinforced even more this fall with all the true artisans I met at the Christmas shows. How lovely to be able to make a living off of a talent you possess!
As a child I was always doing crafts but somewhere along the way, all of that went away. Do you feel the same? Is it just a lack of time and dedication?
Little Oli (my great nephew) and his Mom making potato stamp cards reminds me of my Auntie Marg because I do remember receiving cards from her and her children that were made this way. Lovely! My parents did use to hang a string across the living room wall too to drape the Christmas cards they received on. I wonder if anyone else did that or still do?
To me, receiving an actual Christmas card in the mail is special. I know so many just send e-cards and while they are cute and bring a smile, opening mail is a treasure. I hope to get my cards out today as we are now less than 2 weeks away from Christmas.
Off to Church this morning to see my nieces perform in a play and then home for some more baking and card writing.
Wishing you all a glorious 3rd Advent!
Shine On!
