First of all...a very merry Christmas to each of you.
From our family to yours!
(Our Christmas card this year
...for my blog, I edited on Photoshop, our names on the bottom :o)
Our family celebrates the birth of our Lord Jesus...
(This is on the back of our family photo Christmas card)
...and also December 25th marks the day when my Mr. B was born :o)
Born at 4:38
at the Kona Hospital
weighing 10lbs 4.5 oz.
(first day home~at 3 days old).
I love to look in his baby book and photo albums that his mom gave us when we were first married. His baby book has a newsclipping of his birth, locks of his reddish hair, growth chart, etc...
Here is a video I have shared before, of some of my hubby's past birthdays...& of course, which also are his past Christmases :o) (Although these celebrations were on the same day, his mom always made sure to have something separate and special for him growing up).

Here are a couple of my most recent orders...will be posting more in future posts.
These two are taken from the same beautiful photo, to be given to two different family members.
Sara's request:
"Here are a couple of pics. Let me know if you need more. I was wanting 2 sketches somewhat like the middle pic. I know you typically do one dog but can you do 2? I am wanting to give these as Christmas presents to my husband and his parents. I love your sketches!..."
(It took me a little longer to get started on them, since I was waiting to find out what names Sara would like to have each one drawn with...and we both finally realized that she did not know when she found me on google search and when she sent this request with the photos, that the art I do is drawn entirely with a name. I think that is neat that she was interested in the art she had seen, even without knowing how they are done.)
(This is the middle photo~They are so cute!)
Since I do the art individually, there are always some variations, but I try to do them as close to the photos as I can.
Sara received them and sent this email to me:
"I just received my sketches. They are beautiful! I have told all of my friends about your wonderful work! I have a friend Danielle that will be emailing you soon. She is interested...."

This one was an order for Amy:
| "Hello again. Was wondering if you would be able to sketch this (image of a hummingbird and flower) by Christmas. My boyfriend LOVED his sketch of the maltese cross & wants to have a hummingbird sketched for his mom." |
Thank you for stopping by, commenting and I will be by to return your visits...still catching up!
