There are so many reasons why many of us have joined in this tradition. We take our thoughts, lessons, joys, prayers, and we spill them on to the pages of our Bibles and notebooks and tags (and more) in inks, paints, and paper pieces. We press our hearts into these pages with stencils and stamps …

Seeking Life
I love the joy that people express when they say something "gave them life."
