[sometimes making things is so fun.]

I have had the privilege of discipling/mentoring a group of amazing girls since 2003...I try to make them things occasionally. Mainly because...well, I simply like to make things.

My grandmother and I found some old wood at a fleamarket type shop in VA--we spent SEVERAL days trying to find the right wood and I actually wish I had found even older wood then what we came across.  We ended up getting some old shutters that came from a barn and I had my grandfather help me chop it up into rectangles and sand the edges. I printed out some pictures of us, sewed them onto fabric, frayed the edges and then attached them to the wood with these cool nails my grandmother had. And wa la...a simple little gift.
