Here is my submission for today's Ways to use it challenge, Pearls.
When I was a very little girl, My Mother started a tradition for my sister and I, that on every birthday, we would recieve two pearls on a necklace. Each year two more would be added. She always remebered too. So on my wedding day, I was able to wear a beautiful pearl necklace, that my mother gave to me. My Sister did the same. My sister now carries on the tradition with her daughters. Thanks Mom, I will cherish them forever.
Thanks Julia for a great challenge, and TFL.
