One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Oh, I LOVE this design!!! SO clever to use Maile's banner to hold up your ornaments, it works so well!!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Colleen - you're so kind :) I am doing well, thank you for thinking of me.

Glad to see you back in the gallery!!
