A Precious Gift

Many of you may or may not know I am a New York girl.  About 8 years ago my husband was transferred to Georgia for his job.  We have fallen in love with the South and honestly can not see moving back to the North.  It gets way too cold up there.  LOL!!  The only thing that has been hard for us is being so far away from our family.  We moved here not knowing anyone but have made some wonderful friends over the years who have become our family. 
Anyway, my parents have since bought a summer home near us and came down last week.  Can you say EXCITED!!!!!  My children are over the moon excited that their Granny and Poppy are here.  And well, I'm happy to have the extra help even if it's for a couple of months.
Every time my parents come down, they always bring stuff.  Well, this trip my mom brought along all her cookie cutters and a few from a long, long time ago.  She brought my grandmothers old cookie cutters and gave them to me.  I can't tell you how honored I am to have them here with me and to use the same ones she once used.  How nice!!!!
 My grandma and grandpa were big card players so she had the shapes to match a deck of cards.  She was known for making the sandwiches in the following shapes.
Take a look:








Thanks mom for bringing these down for me.  I love them and you!!!!
