She's bought several of the crystals, but I think she has my nieces make the actual jewelry for her. <br /><br />LOL. Leave it to my mother to run her own personal sweatshop. <br /><br />My hat is off to you and DD, Marianne. It's very tedious work.

He's usually a gruff man, but he can be so thoughtful with things like that. <br />This year, he made me a cutting board that Paula Dean and Rachel Ray would die to have!
