Hi Toni,
This is so beautiful to hear about the adventures of your adolescent and young adult! I am definitely not a blogger (I can probably count the blogs I’ve been to one one hand
but I had to see what you’re up to! How wonderful that you’re inspiring others and moms with children to open up and soar with their unique brand of creativity! You are such an inspiration!
Much love and happy blogging!

Toni,
This brought back memories of when I was in my teens and early twenties and I created homemade ornaments, Christmas decorations and fancy package wrappings. I didn’t have a lot of money while in college so I made all of my presents for others and I so enjoyed the experience and the fun being creative. It’s people like you who are here to awaken in us the simple gift of being aware of what is around us that we can share with others.
