So true. Hand-to-hand offerings, variety of images bring back memories of a stone all smooth, yesterdays gift of gold delivered by mail, wrapped by the giver in central Illinois mason jars of honey and maple syrup. Thank you, Angela.

A handmade gift is a gift of time, saying "you mean so much to me, I took time to make this for you"a truly invaluable gift!
