A gift for Maddie

I thought this would be a lovely gift for my niece, 

Madelyn. 

Who I hadn't seen in over 10 years. 

Life can sure can get in the way sometimes.

So I asked myself...

Will she like it? Is it her taste?

I really have no idea.

We (Chip and I) took her out for lunch and 

caught up on all the latest. 

Her new job, her new boyfriend...etc.

It was a really nice visit.

After opening her gift she immediately 

took off her earrings and put on the ones I made.

And then she tried on the necklace too.

She mentioned anything silver would be a good choice.

Hard to express how happy it made me.

How nice to be able to say

she has grown into a very 

lovely young lady.
