Time is going by so
fast. I cannot believe November has come and almost gone. Today I’m thinking
about holding on to memories that make me happy.
Most of my happiest
memories revolve around family. My kind mom is one of my happy thoughts. She always
makes everything homemade. She tells me it saves money, but the time and
thought she puts into her homemade things express how much she cares. It
makes me happy to remember my great grandaunt, who made me feel that everything I
made was a work of art, even if it was just a handful of weeds in a vase.
Thinking about my always-happy-to-help dad, my crazy-fun brothers and sisters, and
my own sweet family are very happy thoughts. Life really is so good.
I made this necklace thinking
it would be a fun way to hold on to some of these happy memories. It has a
little keepsake locket to tuck a photo of someone special into. The necklace
makes a great handmade gift too. This is how you can
make it:
Very pretty.
