Artist Swap

and let me tell you, I am the luckiest girl in the land! You all know Kristin, Twinkle Twinkle! She hosted Summer of Color...you know her!  She is the sweetest mama in the land, an extraordinary colorful artist, and so pretty too!  We started talking about how we needed to use our pictures more in our art, and one thing led to another, and we agreed to an artist swap using shots of our babies as the focal point. She sent me pics of her darling Kendra, and I sent her ones of my Paige. Lots of anticipation and excitement, our packages arrived at the same time!  I called her, and we opened our gifts together, giddy and happy the whole way.

I seriously cannot explain the happiness of opening my gift.  I was so so so so nervous making her piece, but I knew her gift to me would be so fabulous.  And, it could not be more perfect.  Kristin's style shines in every corner.  The colors are her, the text is her, the sparkles and darling details, so her.  So with so much joy...Kristin's gift to me!

 Paige loves her new bracelet!

Kristin used the back of a watercolor pad as the canvas.  If you have been following me, you know I am always finding whatever, garbage really, to use as my base.  And, then she did this for me.  Do you feel the love?

Here is the original pic I sent her...

and her is the whole piece.  Paige calls it "My Special".  "Mama, can I hold my special?"

Thank you so so so much Kristin, from the bottom of my heart.
