I put up my Christmas tree and made sure to decorate it beautifully. Keeps me in spirits. I pulled out all my Hummel’s that were my grandmas and put them on the fireplace mantle. I normally wouldn’t put anything Christmas-y up until December but I’m kind of sad and wish my grandma was here for me. So by bringing out her most treasured posessions, she’s here with me. If I had not of taken them after she died my mother would have pawned them off. The collection is worth $5000-$10000 and I couldn’t let the storage container sit in the garage and subject them to heat and cold temp changes. They are better off now where I feel I can honor my gram. 🙁  My grandma has been forgotten by others after she died.  Her family forgot about her 10 years prior.  I know what it feels like to be forgotton. Sometimes it’s as if I never existed, and I’ve died.
So here is my Christmas tree:

Then I was having some fun with my macro lens… how’s this for an eye, lol 🙂
