I made this pillowcase about 5 to 7 years ago. At that time I made a whole bunch to give to families for Christmas. It was nice to have such a rare, good idea for Christmas presents. Although, the project took a long time to complete, and I don't think I could do something like that every year. It also cost a bit. I can't remember where I got the idea, but I love it. The kids would always put it on their pillow the night before their birthday and also the night of their birthday. I also would read the Dr. Seuss book, "Happy Birthday to You!"
Derek is turning 16 and now is too old for Dr. Seuss. I told him of a quote from C.S. Lewis to the real Lucy that he wrote the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. He told her that by the time the book that he wrote for her was published she would be too old for fairy tales, but maybe in time she would be old enough again, to love fairy tails. I think this is also true for classic children's books.
