Growing up, I always loved visiting my grandma Doris. Grandma was very crafty, and every time we went to go visit her, her craft room/workshop was filled with so many crafts and colorful things that whenever I imagined Santa's workshop, I pictured my Grandma Doris's craftroom.
Luckily for me, she liked to make a few things for me when I was a kid. I cannot even begin to tell you how many of our own Christmas decorations were handmade or hand-painted by my grandma. I truly cherish them.
For some reason, when I was a kid, I decided I wanted to collect music boxes. So my grandma Doris, with help from grandpa bud, I'm sure, found/made/repaired a bunch of music boxes for my collection. Now they all sit proudly in madison's room.
My favorite one of all has a spinning sun that plays "you are my sunshine", and it's completely hand-painted by my grandmother. Recently, it has become maddie's favorite thing to watch. She will sit, mesmerized and watch the sun go around and around.
I'm pretty lucky that I had such an amazing and talented grandma. And maddie's lucky she has such an amazing great-grandma!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
ReplyDeleteIt made my day and I know Grandma is going to get a big kick out of this as well!
