This is for Kathleen's challenge, to Honor our Elders. I am honoring my Grandmother and her two daughters (my Mom and Aunt). We are a family of crafters, of varying degrees.
My grandmother meant the world to me, and my Mom and Aunt are my World. These women are my treasures.
I was blessed to know this Grandmother very well, and blessed to have 2 sets of wonderful Grandparents, though one side went to the lord sooner than I would have liked.
Kathleen, thank you for this challenge. Though some of these people are gone from my life, they are not gone from my heart.
