Sadly, my gram passed away last week. She was a huge part of my life growing up. Almost all of my favorite childhood memories have her in them. Since I am not a fan of those tacky flower arrangements that you see at funerals. I decided to make her a special creation of my own. My gram was a very artsy person, so I knew she would love something handmade. I started by writing her a note that included all my favorite memories that we shared and then thanked her for all the things she taught me. Then I made “yellow roses” out of fabric. (Yellow roses were her favorite flower.) I glued the roses to the poster board along with the letter to her. I love how it looked at her funeral and it was a great way for me to reminisce about the great times we shared. 
After making this for my gram, I got a great idea of making one for my friend and her little girls. Instead of a note I put the girls initials in the middle and flowers all around the board. I attached a ribbon on the top so that she could hang in their bedrooms. They are so cute!! I am thinking I may do my first tutorial on them, we will see. I will post pictures of them when I get a chance.
