I made a list of goals at the beginning of this year of thirty-one things I wanted accomplish during my 31st year. Number eighteen on the list was "Handmade birthday wishes for my besties"  After a few tragic oversights, I set a goal to do better this year  by creating handmade sentiments for my dear friends.  Handmade gifts  always warm my heart because I know that someone put time, effort and loving thoughts into creating them. This is one my most recent creations for an old friend. She said it made her heart smile. Mission accomplished.
