THIS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE & I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
I want to honor & remember my Grandmother Rosa Lee Adkins today in my post and with this Blog Hop. She will have been gone from us about 24 yrs, I know every chance we get allof us grandkids and especially her children tell of time when we had a chance to be with her.
Grandma, loved jewelry and pretty things and from what was in her jewelry box all that
sparkled. At her passing mom and I picked out a few things for keepsakes.....one of which
was a blue and gold pendant.
Well for years my mom and I shared this necklace without mishap, well about 2 years ago
my mom gave it to me for Christmas and then disaster strikes!
I wore it to work one day perfectly fine but when I get home it is chipped! I am horrified,
upset that I broke it, and no I haven't told my mom yet!
So I wanted to try and remake or make a likeness of it for the Hop by using wire wrapping,
hmmm let's just say that I suck...oops Sorry grandma..lol!
I faired better at making a pair of funky copper/gold and royal blue earrings. I fashioned
them out of copper & gold wire with royal blue seed beads.
I will be presenting them to my mom, Celia J. Parks, of course I'll tell her why she is getting
jewelry soooo soon after Christmas and wayyyyy before her birthday!
I love and miss my Grandma, and I am thankful everyday she raised such a beautiful & strong woman like my mother!
Thanks for coming by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Wait! I forgot the reason why I wanted to start a blog in the first place, which was to take
part in honoring a fellow beader who recently lost her life to Illness ...this excerpt is from
the original announcement:
This blog hop is both for Marianna ( a friend of Lori Anderson Pretty Things &
mother of Lena Adams--Lena's Beady Blog) and for those people in our lives
who mean a lot to us -- a mom, a friend, a brother-- anyone who has meaning to us.
