"Canastas" (aka Baskets)

sorry for the closed eyes.  Just couldn't get one with her eyes open.

For those of you at West Metro church in Hiram, you will recognize the baskets above as our contribution/offering baskets.  Irma, the basket maker dropped by the other night with her kids bringing the 4 more contribution baskets that we'd asked her to make and one more one of our elders requested when he was here back in March and also to show me some of her newest creations.  Just thought I'd introduce you to sweet Irma and some of the lovely crafts she makes.  
She is married to Adelaid and they have 3 sweet children.    Adelaid is the brother of my friend Eda.
The jewelry she's holding up is made from seeds from a tree that is found along the river here.
