Here are some things that I found in the basement while I was cleaning it out. The wreath is a very special thing to me. My mom and I made this wreath for my Grandma Petersons Funeral. My grandma Peterson died right after my mom was finishing up her radiation from the Breast Cancer. She lived with me for about 6 weeks. I remember making this wreath is my kitchen at my old house. We put things around the wreath that symbolize by grandma. We were joking that everything we put on it was just like my mom. For example they both life to sew, cook, had a farm, and loved books....just to name a few. When my great grandma died I remember my mom was so sad. She loved her so much and was learned all the motherhood stuff from her since her own mom died at such a young age. I even remember that my mom was mad that she wasn't asked to speak at the funeral....she felt she should have since they were so alike and had such a special relationship. Just a memory. Anyways...so when my mom died I found the wreath in the basement and displayed it at her funeral. It's weird to think that I had such a great memory making this with my mom just to then display it at her funeral. Sad! I sure miss her and all her many talents. The second was a picture of an award she won at a convention. I found alot of awards throughout the basement. She was amazing!
