One of her favorite things to do was to make her own decorative cards. Her cards went out to everyone who knew her and to many who did not. Many people from her church, her neighborhood, and in her many travels received one of her handmade crafts. Her biggest gift was her favorite book, “Muscle and a Shovel”.
