I respect religion and spirituality - whatever your choices are - and am always interested in learning more about others' beliefs, traditions, holidays, ethnic backgrounds.

Comment: Thanks for the nice postcard! Beautiful scenery. I have not tried to make a dotee yet. I'm like you with cloth dolls/bears, I'm afraid to. :)
Response: Your welcome, glad you enjoyed the pc. Ahh, we should both break out of our comfort zone and make a dotee, maybe a private swap between the two of us? Julie
