Cherished Gift!

My sister-in-law, Kris, stopped by today with a very special gift that I will cherish for the rest of my life. ;o)

First, there is this little box, made by hand from a photograph of a library that I love.
Attached to the box is a library pocket-- the kind they affix to the inside of the book. On the little card, it lists my books with their publication dates.

Now, inside the box is a beautiful handmade necklace! Kind of like a charm bracelet. Each of the little charms were cut out from each of my books, and have the names of the main characters on them. And there are little pearls. I love pearls! ;o) 

I cried!! It is so precious and I will cherish it forever. ;o) Thank you Kris! You are beautiful and I love you! ;o)
