What makes a memory?
When I was little and afraid of Santa, I loved chocolate

Batik is a fabric art in which a mixture of melted
wax is painted by hand onto areas where color is
not desired. When the fabric is crumpled into the
dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an
attractive network of fine lines. The wax is
removed and the process is repeated for each
color utilized.
"This robe comes packaged beautifully in a box
from Indonesia. It is gorgeous and feels wonderful
when wearing it. I'm very comfortable with it, in
fact, the rich colors are soft, yet vibrant and the
robe is dressy enough to wear when lounging

we go on vacation and I can take this instead of
my everyday robe. I'd highly recommend it to
anyone looking for a robe that feels classy." (one
of many happy reviews.)

items provide these women with much needed income.

Christianity, the predominant religions in
