Christmas, 2007

As most of you know, Zetta was very artistic. Here are three things she painted that I have in my home. Leo did the woodwork. When I was a young girl and Leo and Zetta lived at 307 Mississippi in Alliance, I used to go over to their home. Zetta was very patient. She taught me a lot of crafts.....a couple I most remember is making flowers out of kleenix....and making flowers with old nylons (dyed) and florist wire....both are probably a lost art now.

A holder for fireplace matches....has a special place in my Christmas room!

A Halloween plaque...."The witch is in" - notice I even painted the walls in the "kids's room" to match the plaque. :-)

A "zither" built by Leo and painted by Zetta which hangs on my back door and makes a tune everytime we go in or out.
