This gift was made by my friend, Lana, who created a list of "Things we love about Kate." She has the gifts of Creative communication, Craftsmanship and Hospitality.
1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
