There's certainly an element of joy and satisfaction involved -- for both the giver and the receiver.I wonder if the housekeeping staff at our resort feels the same way about their creations? Isn't this fun? It was a joy to return to the room each day and see what wonderful creatures housekeeping created with towels, rubber bands, and a few fresh flowers!I wish I would have brought a package of handmade cards
