Brilliant...

...colors....brilliant gift!

I thought it was perfect timing for this sweet story.   

My son Sam made these potholders for me when he was a kid....I'm not sure how old he was...probably 7 or 8. They're the only ones I use...and they actually have held up pretty well. He's 26 now.


And if Sam's recent journal was the best Christmas present ever...these have to be a close second.  A few years ago (yes...he was 24) he had the brilliant idea to buy himself a little kids loom and make me some new potholders for Christmas. This is a young man who knows how to capture a mother's heart!

I've been hesitant to use them....but if his old ones have lasted this long I'm sure these will carry me through for the rest of my life.
