With Grandma unable to see anymore, I love that Kathy and I can do this small thing for her each December. I hope it shows her how much I love her and how grateful I am for the legacy she has given to me in all aspects of her life.
And in addition to snapping plenty of photos and spending many hours editing them for people’s Christmas cards, for the last two years, I have done the Christmas gift baskets for Mom’s company, Imagine Learning. I really have a blast shopping for the items to go in them and finding new ways to wrap them for delivery. Because, hey, what’s not fun about spending a lot of someone else’s money? I always ask Jessica for input of new items she has discovered each year as she does the gift baskets for her dad’s dental lab clients. It’s a fun thing to pursue together and I loved the way this year’s boxes turned out! Too bad I didn’t take a photo of the goodness that was inside those boxes! It was YUMMY!
Another project needing to be done before Christmas was assembling the wood tag “calendar” Natasha and I would give to Grandma Keckley as a gift. I bought the supplies and set Tash loose to paint each tag a different color for every birthday month. Then we assembled them all in order on a ribbon and bought a cute decorative hook for them to hang on. A fun gift that we hope will help dear Grandma remember everyone’s birthday!
