Hope for 2008

A couple days ago, I worked on a mix CD for a friend who's going through a rough patch and needed a little optimism in her life. I started thinking about how it seems lately that there are a lot of people in my life who are going through rough patches. I've certainly been looking for reminders that life is good. So I decided to make a handful of the "Hope for 2008" CDs as New Year's gifts for my friends. And I got crafty and made gifty CD cases made out of fabric scraps left over from my pillow project.
