Christmas Memories

I am having the Christmas Blues. I am missing my Momma today. It has been only two years since her passing to her reward. I KNOW I should be so happy and rejoicing for her but I miss the "person" and spirit that she can no longer show me. Yes, I will see her again but in the mean time I miss her mischievousness, her sweet kindnesses, her cooking. Yes, I even would relish her corn bread (which I never cared for but always pretended I loved). After her passing at this time two years ago I admitted to my older sister that I did not care for Momma's cornbread and we BOTH had a good chuckle because she didn't like it either. One time when I was in Florida and so very homesick she mailed me YEP! cornbread but she also enclosed a dozen lilacs in full bloom. She was always so very thoughtful and sweet about things like that. I still look for that card, that note of love and even wait for her to call. Enough said. I just miss my family this year more than ever before. ( I found this note in Momma's purse after she had gone on to be with her Lord and I thought it was perfect for my thoughts and my mood for today. Sorry for the sad parts; now I am keeping busy. I made this purple and green bracelet for a girlfriend of mine for Christmas. It is a sweet bracelet just like she is. She does not know yet and I thought I would give you a sneak peek. I also made this Faux Jabot set from overy 100 Czech crystals. I wish you would leave me a note and let me know what your ideas are concerning the several pieces that I have enclosed. Is there anyone out there who reads this? Just curious..... Blogland is so very new to me and I need to know IF I have any followers. Also while I am at it did you know that you can check back to the older blogs to see some of my other creations? Today I got a call from a loved one and she asked me to hold the Real Pearls and Swarskovki Crystal necklace for her. It was so good to hear from her and was so very special to want a piece of my work!!!! It is so important to me that my work is cherished more than being just worn.
I made this Ruby Red bracelet for my lovely sister and she opened it already! The gift was made with alot of love and thoughtfulness toward her favorite color pallets. She loves all things red and black combinations. I made her a pair of earrings that match this bracelet but she has lost one of them already so I should get around and make her a new set but I am hoping she will find the set. Merry Christmas, dearest Sis!!! I love my family, each and every one of you!
