But I am sure I like yours! I identified the first two lines as ones I knew. However, I know the moon line from a book of Children's Prayers in verse that I used to read to my boys. Reading the comments, Heidi mentions you now have an Etsy shop?! Congratualtions! I've had an etsy shop since 2008 - love it! Creative people (you) need a space to share their creative works! And although I don't always have time to make my jewelry, I just cannot seem to get rid of my shop! I return to it when time allows! jlcjbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790798402432484057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-29344456919719299102024-03-16T13:30:39.650-04:002024-03-16T13:30:39.650-04:00Fun mash-up, especially when you find two things t...Fun mash-up, especially when you find two things that fit serendipitously together!
