Some of you may remember "Maggie's Hope Chest" from a post a few months ago. This was the hardest cover to design, for some reason and I'm very thankful for the many friends who pitched in to give me advice and ideas. As you may remember, the story idea was one that I had several years ago but it wasn't until this year that the Lord allowed me to complete it.

"Noelle's Gift" began with the title. Only the title. As I pondered ideas and prayed, the Lord gradually gave me a skeleton of an idea and one day, blossomed the idea to completion. For once, I yielded to the temptation of designing the book cover before I actually wrote the story. :) After the rough draft of the cover was designed (which was slightly different than the cover below), the Lord helped me to write the entire short story the same night - rare.

Last but not least, my baby sister is just learning how to read. After I had decided to write stories for my two almost-youngest sisters, I prayed about the possibility of writing one that my five-year-old sister could read for herself - and hopefully learn from. Again, the Lord gave me an idea.

Note: I may decide to replace the little girl on the cover if I get a picture I like better . . . |

At this point, critiques and feedback are most welcome!
What are some Christmas projects that you've been working on?
