a Joyful Christmas present
I left something out of my Christmas post the other day. One of the presents from my mom was a delightful surprise. I was so excited as I unwrapped the tissue paper and realized what it was.
This portrait of our Cleveland house was created by the talented Judy Hartman. Judy was one of my first bloggy friends "met" through AEDM when I first started my blog three years ago. Through my blog she discovered my mom's blog and the two have become dear friends. I am amazed again and again by the power of the Internet to create connections, bringing kindred spirits together who might never have met otherwise.
Judy's beautiful work with paper and fabric is colorful, detailed and filled with Joy. I am thrilled to own this special portrait of my first home. My favorite parts are the three little faces looking out of the windows:
So sweet!
I will treasure this forever. Thank you, Judy and thank you, Mom. And don't you just love the idea of the two of them "in cahoots" (Judy's phrase -- makes me smile) planning it?
