Here is a picture of one of my favorite keepsake treasures. It is a Bible page marker that was crocheted by my grandmother. Although I don't use it as a bookmark, I keep it in my closet and see it daily as I dress and prepare for my day. I clearly remember when my mother … Continue reading Grandmothers
