I made three of these sets for the kid's teachers. Each canvas bag (from Oriental Trading Co.) was stamped and had a monogram tag on it. Inside I put the journal with matching pen (which the stamp reads Enjoy The little things), mini photo album (which reads Enjoy every moment), a candle, and a frame with a poem that I got from Binkyman99. It read:
As I walked along the seashore
This young boy greeted me.
He was tossing stranded starfish
Back to the deep blue sea.
I said “Tell me why you bother,
Why you waste your time this way?
ThereÂ’s a million stranded starfish
Does it matter, anyway?”
And he said, “It matters to this one.
It deserves a chance to grow.
It matters to this one.
I canÂ’t save them all I know.
But it matters to this one,
IÂ’ll return it to the sea.
It matters to this one,
And it matters to me.”
