What a very happy lady Cristy looks...and her new bag looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! I've never seen her with anything BUT a smile on her face and her eyes always sparkle. :)
DeleteSeeing a nun, in her habit wearing your bag just rocks. I would love to know this lady, I bet she is an amazing force for positive love and light in the world. And the bag is fantastic.....xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteI know! !!!!!!!!!!! :) It really does tickle me to pieces. She has to be an amazing force…it just oozes out of her. I’ve only known her for about a year but have seen pictures of her childhood and know she has been and is making a change for the better in our world. Thank you so much. <3
DeleteBeautiful! No wonder she's happy with it, I know I would be!
ReplyDeleteThanks Caatje! :)
DeleteIt's a wonderful feeling giving a hand made gift and knowing it is loved and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! Thank you Pat!
DeleteI'm pretty sure she enjoyed your bag!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gio! I think so too! Her mom says she uses it every day. :)
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful! You are the Queen (capital Q-U-E-E-N actually, not jutst Q) of fabric to me :) and your doddle pages are just fabulous. I'm sorry to hear of what you're going through because of where you are, you're very brave and courageous & a truly loving woman! I have a close the bond like you have with Sophia with my mother (I'm an only-child and basically my mother and me are the EXACT same person, even in our differences) and I know she would follow me wherever, and vice versa, no question, pure love dictates that xx
ReplyDeleteLOL - Thanks Jennibellie! :) I, in turn, think you're an art diva...of...everything you DO!!! And it makes me happy to be here with Sophia and double happy that you and your mom have that relationship. Give her a hug from me!!!
Delete*just, not jutst and doodle, not doddle lol, and no 'the' before bond! Boy I should really proof read better lol xxxx
ReplyDeleteSilly girl. You know I read right through them! And love them because I know you took your precious time to comment!
DeleteWhat a lovely bag!! I think that was a gift that gave both ways!!
ReplyDeleteHELLO!!! I’m back online and you’ll be hearing from me a lot because of all your awesome comments. I do so love hearing from you! Thanks so much! and yes…Cristy’s bag was a labor of love for me. It’s awesome to revisit this post because all those feelings are welling up again right now. :)
