I've taken my mother's old house dresses and made quilts for each of us kids and grandkids...Mother passed a little over a year ago and it's nice to have them to cuddle under.

Mom made afghan after afghan all her life (she was in a wheelchair in her later years) and right after she passed the younger grandkids wanted to wrap up in her afghans and 'feel her hugging them'.

We have so many family pictures, from so many generations, tintypes...thankfully, now put on DVD and copied for all...
so thankful I come from a long line of packrats!!

Letters kept in bundles wrapped in ribbons! Postcards from the mid 1800s...their handwriting is a treasure to me.

i know my neice as only been gone for 2 weeks and shes back in a week but ive missed her like crazy. to comfort me i sleep with the teddy she bought me saying'i love you' and also while im on my pc now, ive got drawings she did next to me, theres something everywhere that reminds of her, not that id ever forget, that would be impossible.

i also have made a photo frame myself from scratch and painted it, and put a picture of my neice in it, its next to me now
