Where Memories Come From

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have inherited a box of buttons from a special, departed Grandparent, but I am convinced I am the only person on the planet to have developed an entirely new creative obsession over it.  I have recently developed a love of mixed media collages, art-journaling, and sewing.  Am I trained in any of these art forms?  No.  Can I even pretend to know what I'm doing behind a sewing machine?  Not without someone seeing right through me.  Does that stop me?  Absolutely not!  One day I dusted off my Grandma's sewing machine, pulled out the fabric remnants and many decades worth of buttons she had saved, and started sewing.  I was pretty impressed by what I came up with and am thrilled that I was able to create a lasting tribute to my Grandma.  I felt compelled to share the products of my obsession with the world, or at least the one or two people who may read my blog.  The moral of this story is that inspiration can come in any form and those who inspire us in life often times continue to do so long after death.  I hope you enjoy my creations.
