Thing a Day Challenge Day 23

Today is a "sad day", as it is the anniversary of my dear mom's death. She was a great mom and a fun wonderful person, all of us miss her a lot. But on the good side, I got to talk with my little sister for a bit, and so that was helpful.

Last night, during my thoughts of mom, I decided to make a Bottle of Hope. I got a lot of help on this one, though - from both Carolyn of Carolyn's Clay Creations and Seana at Skb31mom.etsy.com, who made the beautiful canes that I used. Aren't they awesome??? Those girls can both make fabulous canes, and I treasure those that I have from them.



Hope everyone had a nice day!

  4. (((Jackie))) Thoughts with you today. Glad you were able to talk to your sister and share the memories. I love the idea of making a Bottle of Hope as you thought of your beloved mom. The bottle is really special and optimistic with lovely canes.....KUDOS to Carolyn and Seana, too. I especially like the top. It reminds me of a garden gnome!

  5. Thank you, everyone. I am sure my mom is very happy with who I've become and proud of me, knowing this helps a lot. She was a wonderful example to all of her children.

    Yes on the garden gnome lid! I saw that it looks that way, too. Next time I get that shape I'll have to put a face & beard on it, won't I? LOL.
