It was a small pencil holder made from a piece of wood cut from a limb of a cedar tree. It was about 3 inches high and tall and had the bark removed and then 3 holes drill down from the top into the wood so a pencil cut be put into it. I remember that it was pretty cold as I worked o them out in the barn so they wouldn't know about it. I actually made several of them at the same time.

Dec 16, 2010 Happy Birthday, Marie
Tell about the neatest present that you remember giving your mom.
I do not remember what I gave to mom since it was probably something small bought at at store. I know she always liked cameo pins and it seems like that was one gift we gave as several of us together one year. I think though mom and dad got more from watching the joy on our faces as we ran to our socks and opened the presents than what we gave to them. It just seems to be something I guess that comes from being a parent. I made mom lots of small gifts in school and hand prints in plaster and macaroni pictures seemed to be the norm for those years. They even hung in the house somewhere for several years.

Did your grandpa or grandma ever make gifts for you? Tell about them.
The one gift that I remember being made for me by a grandparent was a 3 legged bear made from the old upholstery that was taken off the couch that I ended up having for many years after we were married. The old brown couch we had until 1993 was given to me by mom and dad and was the couch that was redone with new fabric when I was only about 5 or 6 years old. Grandma Poulson used that old fabric and made all of us little animal pillows or what we always referred to as a stuffed bear. I still have it somewhere in my stuff.
