My grandma had a huge influence in my love for all things creative. She created ceramics with wildly painted colors and patterns, was a seamstress, dressed fashionably with matching handbags & jewelry and worked in her garden everyday. She was always baking or cooking and made sure everyone was well fed and taken care of. She gave me my first Speedball calligraphy pen set when I was 8, I carried it around everywhere to practice my writing. She hand wrote letters to her friends and family and never missed a birthday. I am blessed to have so many wonderful memories of her...she was an AMAZING woman.
ten years ago today, you left us to be with grandpa in heaven.
remembering you today and always...
you are forever in our hearts...
i love you and miss you grandma...boo
