You always were picking things apart, creating things, experimenting and you always let me join in, encouraging me, just like Robert D, and Mom and Dad encouraged you.

Granted, I never quite grasped the craft talent like you did, music was more my talent, but true to big sister form, you loved everything I made (and I think kept most of it).

I remember a few years back, sitting at mom and dad’s, going through boxes upon boxes of crafts, drawings, trinkets that you and I made that mom had kept. Seeing pictures we drew together, where we knew exactly what your picture was, and laughing together trying to figure out what the heck I had drawn (thank goodness mom always wrote on the back). You always had this talent Chantelle, you were born with it. And I check your Etsy Store and your blog everyday to see if there are any new wonderful creations that I can snatch up for my home (like the Hardrive Clock).

Thank you for the step back in time, love you sis!
