It was my pleasure to showcase Amy Barickman and her new book titled Love You To Pieces in a recent YouTube LIVE show.
What fun it was to take a trip down memory lane while perusing the pages of her book with vintage patchwork quilt and delightful dolls & stuffies peeking out from the pages. The expressions on so many of those little faces were priceless and full of personality.
Beyond that, the pages of the book are full of friendship sentiments that are meant to celebrate the joy of friendship. Take a look at one example below where this sweet doll's big eyes portray the message on the next page which states "But we see each other for who we are."

This book is such a perfect way to convey your heartfelt emotions to a friend. I gifted one to a dear friend and literally read each page to her out loud. It was a special time for both of us!
Those who chimed in on the live chat no doubt had feelings of warmth and nostalgia wash over them as memories of making, giving, and receiving similar treasures came to the surface.
There is just something about stories of handcrafted dolls and quilts that is easier to feel in your heart than it is explain in words. However, Amy has managed to bring those feeling to life through the images and thoughtful sentiments that come to life in the pages of the book.
