lindsey made these lino block print note cards for me,
and she is trying to coax me to boston for a visit with this
cute collage recycled from the insides of security envelopes...
hannah painted these beautiful wooden coasters.
gretta silk screened tote bags for everyone,
with a quote from this book
(an army we could really support!)
stew and dawn put together a neat set of books for us.
the covers are the same for each family member,
but the specific quote was chosen especially for the recipient.
the books are blank and stewart has challenged us
to keep track of our hopes, dreams and plans.
the quote he chose for us?
"buy land, they're not making it anymore"
-mark twain.
we bought the land...now stewart wants to see
the plan on paper.
be careful how you raise your kids.
they may turn out to expect the very same accountability
you've expected of them.
:-)
we do miss these young adult children,
but it sure is fun,
thinking of them, being crafty off in
oregon, illinois, ohio and massachusetts.
miss you, love you and thank you!
(i'll post one more special gift tomorrow,
and the last giveaway of this HOLIDAY MAGIC series.)

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely handmade gifts! I love that lino block print. Watching kids be adults is almost as amazing as that first step of the toddler:)
ReplyDeleteI remember watching some staff development speaker (a psychologist) claim "healthy families disintegrate well." 4 kids, 4 states, from coast to coast - I'd say you've raised a pretty healthy family guys!
