I remember one time my mom sat down with us and tried to teach us how to make these. I think my mom had to first sit down and figure it out herself. They are simple bells made of beads. Last year, while looking at pintrest, I came upon a pattern for the same bells. My sisters and I always admired those bells so I thought for a great gift I would make each sister a set of 10. I have three sisters. That means I had to do at least 30 bells. I wanted a set myself that would make 40! That&#8217;s a lot of bells. I sneakily asked my sisters what their color scheme was on their trees. I started making them in November and had them done by the first week in December. I actually made 46 bells. I decided that each of my sisters should have a bell the original color of grandma Fogg&#8217;s bells so we could each have a little of her with us on Christmas. I have three of that color so someday I can hand them down to my kids. Do you have any special ornaments that remind you of a wonderful time in your life?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1943\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_20141202_120238624.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1943\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1943\" class=\" wp-image-1943\" src=\"https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_20141202_120238624-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Kim's, Kesiah's, Grandma Fogg's, Krystal's and Mine.\" width=\"260\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kim&#8217;s, Kesiah&#8217;s, Grandma Fogg&#8217;s, Krystal&#8217;s and Mine.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 8: Christmas Bells In my mom&#8217;s Christmas tree ornaments she has some bells.\u00a0 These are special bells because my grandma Fogg made them.
