"Come Softly to Me" is a #popular #song recorded by #TheFleetwoods, composed of Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, and Gary Troxel, who also wrote it. The original title was "Come Softly", but was changed en route to its becoming a hit. Bob Reisdorf, the owner of Dolphin Records, which in 1960 changed to Dolton Records, was responsible for the title change. He thought that "Come Softly" might be too obvious and considered risqué.

So many of the #liberals who are constantly telling us to listen to and be concerned for the "ordinary people" of #Israel, and to separate them from their #government and #Netanyahu, and who talk about this more than the actual #Israeli #genocide against #Palestine, didn't have the same concern for ordinary #Russians when #Russia invaded #Ukraine. And in Russia, there's actual #popular #resistance against #Putin. It's almost like this is really just a #Zionist talking point.

These are #zipper #covers for a #bible .

Most tricky part is usually the spine part of these covers. I wanted to come up with the #style that left the book laying completely flat, not bending the spine of the #book . This is because #books will last longer and stay in better condition if they are kept and used properly.

First time for me to #craft this #style but I've learnt that they are quite #popular #choice in #usa . Well, they have made their way now to #estonia as well!
