My Mama's Gorgeous Creations Part II

(1950's Prom dress displayed on top of linen closet in Mom's room)

Good morning all.  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  My poor Mama is sick with the flu and just started her job at Disneyland, so she's having a tough weekend.  Please pray for her.  As I promised yesterday, here are some more fabulous photos of all her pretties that she either makes or displays in her house.  Enjoy!  And don't forget to check out her Facebook page for The Queen's Jewels.
