Why I do what I do...

My most treasured Christmas decoration.

I love it. My mom made this for my (biological) dad's mom. It has been "handed down" to me. My mom is incredibly talented.

I made this one for myself after I made the one for Ida. I know it was something she loved because, since I didn't sign it, she never remembered who made it for her but she always had it out. So it reminds me of her.

Thanks, MOM! And, Thanks Grandma Hess.

(And, I miss you Ida. Please watch over Ole especially close. He misses you a lot.)
