A Special Shrine

Recently, a friend of mine told me about her mother's passing that transpired years ago. But, right before her mother passed away, she had a dream about 3,000 butterflies. Well, my friend's sister started collecting butterflies and hopes to reach 3,000 in her collection to honor her mother....What a precious idea.


Well, I got to work creating this shrine from a book and, of course, I wanted it to feature butterflies...I can't wait to surprise her with it!

At City Crafter Challenge Blog this week, the challenge is to create something from a book or something for a book--So, I couldn't wait to display this piece.

  2. Cindy, what a beautiful creation and so thoughtful. I'm sorry that your friend lost her mother...but the comment about the 3000 butterflies is just really neat somehow ;) :) I'd love to see your friend reach her goal :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
