Follow the Yellow Brick Road

One could say that this piece was inspired by the classic "The Wizard of Oz." Of course that movie has a special place in all of our hearts. Even I find myself watching the movie every now and then.

But, no, this piece was not inspired by the movie. This piece was inspired and created for JLands own RobinNGabster. It was her journal, The Yellow Brick Road, that was my inspiration. Robin came here and has left me some very nice comments. Her first comment was left on the "Pay it Forward" entry that I posted a few weeks ago.

When I make a special gift for someone, I want to make it something truly special. Not knowing someone makes that task rather difficult. You don't know what that person is like, what their interests are, or even what their favorite colors are. When I took a look at Robin's journal, I knew instantly where I wanted to go with this gift, The Yellow Brick Road.



Robin just received her pen. She wrote me a wonderful email that really put a smile on my face.

Robin, I'm so happy that you like your pen. You're a sweet lady, you deserve that special gift.

That pen is really something.  I imagine Robin didn't realize how lucky she'd be when she started this new journal of hers.  Great job !!!  Linda in Washington state
