If she doesn't invite us her parents get upset with her.
They tell her we need to be there because we are "family".
This touches my heart more than they will ever know.
I've always considered them my adopted parents and to know they feel the same is priceless.
When I was making this it struck me that it would make a wonderful little hostess gift to give them to let them know how thankful I am to be included in their wonderful family.
I am going to make one to match their house color scheme.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift Dragonfly that you are giving to your "adoptive parents!" It is so unique and skillfully done. I'm not sure how you made this, but love the holder for the pen/pencil. I am sure they will be so happy to receive this gift when most people are used to food/wine/flowers as a gift when a guest arrives. Your colors are so greatly autumn/thanksgiving and your sentiment is simple yet right on! Thanks for coming to Path of Positivity Challenge. We are very happy that you did! Soulfully Yours, Samara DT POPC

Hey D~,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you have people that you can count on as being your 'adoptive parents' it must help to know there is someone else you can turn to for advice when you are missing your mom.
The little hostess gift you have created is simply darling. I'm sure that it will be received in love.
This month is the perfect time to be creating projects that express gratitude with Thanksgiving right around the corner in the US so I am glad that you had the opportunity to join us again this month on the Path of Positivity. It is always nice to see your wonderful creations.
May you always have something to be thankful for!
