Memory Lane...

Was helping my daughter clear out her room a little last night..and we came across a few items. One was a little wee booklet that I had gotten for my daughter when she was about 9 yrs. old..it was called "Honey from the Heart" ...in this little book it had a few pages where a mother could write something sweet to her daughter. It was fun to look at it again and see the words that I had written to my oldest daughter. One of the little sections was "what I like best about you"...and I had written.."your smiling face, your twinkling eyes"... Aww.

---------------------------

The trip down memory lane did not stop there...

As we had come across a box full of handmade yo-yo's that had started out to be sewn into a round design.

At this point for me..the tears started to flow, as they had been my grandmother's.

A project that she never completed.

All of the little yo-yo's are in a gold foiled box, and she had made a couple of pattterns for the yo-yo's out of meat tray foam. She was known to make her templates out of the meat tray foam parts. Talk about resourceful..ha.

Anyhow...I now have a new project that I will be working on...that is..complete what my dear grandmother had not gotten the chance to.

I of course will find somewhere to display the finished item with pride in my home and cherish it.

---------------------

It is sometimes fun and yet sometimes bittersweet moments as well... to take a little jaunt down "memory lane" once in a while.

To cherish the happy thoughts, and the joys, and love ...and to recall the very dear, and precious people and moments in our lives... and in our hearts.
