Description from Melody F: We had a book when I was a child about a little boy (it must have been a boy, girls wouldn't be so greedy, lol) who had a magic wishing rug. When he hopped around on it and wished for something he got it. He got all sorts of things, they filled up his room, and soon there was no room for him. I think he may have gotten a real elephant. Anyway, the first row of this pick describes what the rug might have looked like. The rest are things he wished for, including a truck and a rocket ship.

SilverCords aka Judy says:What a neat book, that I’m sure, must have made the point that sooner or later we must all realize that our wishes are unlimited and not always what we need. This is a fabulous depiction of the book and I love the idea of making pieces to depict it. Great choices for your storyline!

dolllady aka Pam says:What a cute Christmas story to show that we all had our wishes and dreams that couldn’t or shouldn’t always come true.
