I was searching for some sort of way to thank my friends who helped Mom and me so much during those last years, and I think I hit it out of the park with Sock Snowmen.
I always bought Mom crazy patterned socks just for fun. She was so easy and never complained about wearing Snoopy or purple socks with pink dots. Strangers would almost always approach us and mention how great her socks were. So, as I thought about what to do with her socks, it hit me...
Sock Snowmen!
John and I made basic sock snowmen and dressed them in Mom's fuzzy socks as sweaters. That's Bobbi's below looking in a mirror:
