Ho ho ho! Complete!

 Just a little brag for something that has taken me years!

I finally got up the courage to use my mom's crystals!

I am a big believer in making traditions.

Each year I put a small trinket or charm on our family 

Christmas socks. The vinyl pocket at the top of the 

stocking is for a current picture of the owner.

This on has a snowman as the recipient of the 

stocking had not arrived yet ( born Jan 22, 2021).

As the family grew and stabilized in numbers ( 4 offspring)

I got new socks and continued. The earlier stockings with 

many additions, are now decorations for the garland!

I finally added crystals from my mother's 

necklace to the stockings!

It was a 2 strand crystal necklace, one strand 

broken but still beautiful.

I added 1 for each member of the individual's family. 

Even pets! They get a tiny crystal. 

The remainder are stored in the bead box for future additions.

It is a joy to have complete. 

Next year , I can keep her memory alive

by sharing stories with my family.
