my birthday present....

i know that my birthday was a month ago tomorrow, but here is what i spent my birthday money on - so it really is my birthday present!

this was done by kathy mallot (go to her website/blog HERE). and this is a picture that she has sent me. i will get the painting this thursday and it will be framed friday morning (if everything goes as planned!).

this picture is about a 34 by 26. give or take a little. i already had a frame that i had bought at an antique store about 6 years ago. when i saw it, i told tommy that it would be perfect for a painting of a child one day. well, that day has come!

the original picture was taken by andrew lamb (go to their website HERE). his grandfather took my parent's pictures, his dad took all of my pictures, and now andrew takes mary peyton's pictures. andrew was a year ahead of me at pillow and his wife graduated with me. i did make sure to check with him before reproducing this!

so check back this time next week and maybe i'll have one of the "finished" product on here!
