Char of Helen's Daughters
and hubby, Frank of A Different Angle,
were both winners at the
Marshfield Art Fair on Mothers Day!!!
They both make MADE IN AMERICA art/craft
and are "Keeping it IN Wisconsin"!
The closer it gets to Mother's Day,
the more we think about our mom - Helen.
Our Mom is on the left.
Our Aunt Mary and Aunt Murna stand to her right.
It's so hard to believe ten years have
passed since her death on Mother's Day 2001.
We miss her lively energy and endless creativity.
She inspired us to be better woman.
She wanted two bags
made for her two oldest daughters.
We used her wedding dress and
other important notions
from other special garments.
We followed her directions - this is handbag one.
