Grateful Sunday-- the makers in our lives
The presence of creative individuals in one's life is an invaluable gift, and I am profoundly grateful for my father and his artistic talents. This Christmas, he crafted exquisite Japanese-style pencil boxes for both me and our youngest daughter, Tameryn.
My box is now filled with an assortment of desktop essentials, each item carefully chosen and appreciated: sweet chubby brass scissors, a reliable Blackwing pencil sharpener, a gum eraser for clean corrections, a 6-inch wooden antique ruler with a sense of history, binder clips to hold open a journal/tablet, and a selection of pencils ready for quick or detailed sketch. Every time I open this box, I am reminded of my father's thoughtfulness and the joy of having such a unique and personal item.
Christmas Day, in between visiting family, my girls taking a break on the step landing.
enjoy, take care-
Stephanie
