I loved that Margaret told me that these particular beads were chosen by her for me especially saying: "the rich elegance of the beads reminded me of your love of religious tradition and the heritage you are passing along to your grands and sharing with all of us!"...
They are very very beautiful and I will treasure them, thanks so much. And then look at the intricate detail of her art in this wonderful heart art ATC. Peg, your art is so beautiful. I love your style. Be sure to visit her blog if you have not yet had the pleasure. You will enjoy it!
I borrowed this book from my daughter after starting it at her house while babysitting a few weeks ago. I couldn't put it down. I loved it. I recommend it as something quite different and oh so well written.
And here is another tease: a pile of pieces waiting to be sewn to the foundation of my NYP!
