It brings back wonderful memories of my Grandma, from our pizza dinners, to “bumming” around, to her stash of treats she kept around for her grandkids, to her trying patiently to teach us to crochet, to her famous bear hugs that just enveloped us with love. For a mere woman of 5 ft nothing and only weighing 98 lbs, she gave the best hugs ever. Oh to have one now…
So each year, I hang this in a place of honor, a place that I see each day, so a piece of Grandma is with us through the holidays.
Do you have something like this? I would love to hear!
Have a blessed day dear friends.
Hi Sheila,
Loved your story about your grandma. I can see why that bell takes center stage!!

The sentimental ornaments are the very best ones!
That sweet bell made by your Grandma has lots of value...sentimental value:)
Some ornaments are just meant to be kept forever. Fun to see you again- thanks for stopping by!
Those are the things that really matter, Sheila. That really touches my heart!
Hugs,
Suz
I have oak ornaments my Dad made and they are a must have. Every time I hang them, I remember and miss him.
What a sweet memory. I don't think I have a similar item, but I do, without fail, listen to the same Christmas music, and album of my mother's (now on DVD) of 1950's music while I decorate the tree. I couldn't decorate the tree without it.
you are so right. that ornament made for you with love deserves center stage. enjoy.
blessings,
aimee
