This is one of my favorite pictures of Luke (taken at Easter):
And this is a watercolor that my sister-in-law Marika painted:
Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to sit down and create a gift for someone that you know would make their heart stop the moment they saw it?!
This isn't just a cool gift. It is the kind of gift that will be passed down for generations. The kind of gift that makes a Mom get all teary-eyed every time she sees it.
(forgive my flash...I need to work on my camera skills).
I think my new goal is to give gifts that are more meaningful and personal. It will be a little hard with the severe lack of artistic talent that I have...but I'm sure still possible.
(Don't worry friends...you won't be getting any watercolors of your children from me...unless you like abstract art).

WOW.... there really are no words for how amazing that is! I too wish I was more artistic what an amazing feel it must be to make something so beatuiful! Oh wait you did make something that beatiful... the kid IN the picture! :)
I can't wait to come see it in person. What an amazingly talented sister-in-law! I love it so much!
What a beautiful talent! I remember you telling me how talented she was, but still, I am amazed. What a beautiful portrait and what a beautiful gift! And that little boy has got to be the most perfect model ever. So cute!!!! Simply amazing. I can't wait to see it in person, too!
That is GORGEOUS!! What a perfect gift. I am now officially intimidated!! I always wanted to learn to paint with watercolors but I think I am in the "paint by numbers" category!! (This is Carol BTW. I didn't realize Dallyn had signed in until typing this rather lengthy message!!)
I'm so glad you took a picture of that! Mom and Dad told me about it but I wanted to see it!
