This centerpiece was created by me and my friend Lori. It honors all I care about. My grandmothers cookie cutters represent our family's tradition of holiday cookie bakes. The ribbons from a previous years gift represent working hard and not wasting our money or resources. The candy canes represent the staff of the shepherd that watches over his flock (me and mine) and the kisses remind me of my parents who loved hugged and kissed our family on a regular basis. I miss them. The green Christmas tree in the last picture, made with leftover buttons and yard, represents a family tradition of craftiness. My great grandmother and grandmother and mother were all very talented with crochet, knitting and needlepoint. I can't do that, but I can make things with yarn.
