    OMG! The Broadman Hymnal! I’m 66 now but was hired to play the piano at my church when I was nine. Continued to play for that church for 50 years! I still have that hymnal because it was the first one I played out of at church!

    THANK YOU, Leslie, for all these ideas !!! I especially like the mason jar lid ornament. It gave me the idea to make some out of my husband's ties. I lost him 8 years ago and kept all his beautiful ties knowing one day I would make something out of them. Now I can make ornaments for my family as well as cover lids of jars that I can fill with candy, cookies, etc for my family for Christmas !!!!! ❤

    The framed hymn is my favorite!! My daughter did something similar. She cut some of her favorite hymns out of an old, falling-apart hymnal and arranged them in a frame that she gilded with Rub-Buff. It's so striking in her 1888 home! I love your idea, Leslie, of adding the Christmas ornament or wreath. So simple and so, so pretty!

    The ornament idea is so special. What a great idea to make ornaments out of the shirts. I have a friend who did something similar with her husbands shirts. It is a very special memory of him. The framed hymn with the ornament hung on the side was my favorite.

    I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to thin out my Christmas decorations so I don’t need any. However, I might be tempted to make the mason jar lid ornaments. I think I would put a picture of the person on the back. Not to display… but to identify the person. A grandchild might look at it many years in the future and will know in whose memory the ornament was made.
