Lenten Art for Chocolate Lovers Everywhere

On Twitter, the most popular sacrifice for Lent this year is giving up chocolate, so for today I thought I’d post this wall hanging made from fair trade chocolate wrappers:

    April, this is delightful! A breath of fresh air (or should I say chocolate!) from our hometown (We lived in Kitchener/Waterloo for over 20 years!)

      I’m glad I could give you this glimpse of your hometown. I was there just briefly for meetings and would have loved to see more.
