The tradition in Blogland is to give back to others when you're celebrating yourself! I wanted to make you something special with my tiny hands. I know I'm a few weeks behind, but LIFE, you know! ;) So...I've made you a pillow! I love to make pillows and wish I could make a hundred of them, one for each of you and a few to spare! But alas, there's only one!
Please leave me a comment on this post and next Monday, July 13th, I will reveal the winner.
Good luck and know I love you all!!
You are a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Forever Friends
All around us things are changing
Seasons come and seasons go
Very few things last forever
Deep inside our hearts we know
We're forever friends
Bond by love that time can't take away
Forever friends caring in a special kind of way
Heart to heart and hand in hand
We'll stand until the end
Loves forever when your forever friends
We're all children of the father
In His keeping and His care
And the spirit that He gives us
Is the love we're meant to share
And though we know it's time to say goodbye
We will always be together
And here's the reason why
We're forever friends!
