Wonderful things Wednesday - Childhood memories

Once upon a time, when the air was clear and fragrant from the flowering white bushes right outside of our window, when the day was long and full of adventures waiting for you right in your own backyard, my mother made a wonderful party dress for me. It was sky blue with white embroidered flowers on it and I felt like a Princess wearing it around the holidays! I was pretty sure I was the prettiest girl around while wearing it!

So many years passed by and I had many other pretty dresses. They were store bought, big name brands and excellent quality but I still remember my first one, homemade with love.

I am sure each one of us has a similar story – we’d love to hear yours! What do you cherish through the years? What did you make for your child that she or he can feel special in? Please share with us!

Today we’d like to represent our Team members creations for the children – enjoy!
