It Doesn’t Take Much

15 minutes, washi tape, colored pencils, acrylic inks—and this little token of appreciation came to be.

Not everything we make has to be planned. Or polished. Or profound.

Sometimes, it’s enough to gather what’s within reach… and offer it forward.

Think of:

• the school crossing guard who keeps our kids safe,

• the sweeper truck driver who helps keep our streets clean, or

• the pharmacy technician who fills our prescriptions.

These are the people in our communities who often go unthanked.

This is for them.

A simple gesture. A handmade moment. A way of saying: “You’re seen.”

Crafting is one kind of joy.

Giving is another.

And when you combine the two, you create a moment of connection, a ripple of shared humanity, a way of being that feels right.
