Here are some pictures:

I have to find a picture that my parents have of me that looks identical to this.It is really funny :)
So, when we were growing up, my Meemaw (mom's mom) made stockings like this for each one of us. They were always hung on her mantle every Christmas. My mom had our stockings from when we were kids and just bought new ones for people brought into our family - husbands, babies, pets. I know that my mom has had a tough time since my Meemaw passed away in 2007. So, I decided to make the stockings like my Meemaw did many years ago. Now, we all have matching stockings and WOW, it looks awesome!!! They were pretty time consuming, but totally worth it. My mom was kinda speechless when we gave them to her, I could see it in her eyes that she loved them and that is all the mattered to me. They really look great and are almost perfect to the ones my Meemaw made. I am sure that she is looking down from heaven and smiling!!!

Dianne, what a beautiful surprise for your Mom! I would have loved to see her face when you gave them to her. You are as crafty as you are thoughtful! I will definitely have to visit GiGi next Christmas to check them out. Love, Aunt Mej
