etsy finding...

i have read many post about people LOVING esty. actually, it was one of my sister-in-laws who first told me about it a year or so ago.


i would look on there every once in awhile but never bought anything until last month.


i was in search for the perfect gift for my mom.


yes, its really late birthday gift but i think i accomplished what i wanted to do... finding something she will love & cherish forever... put it in a frame & you have our family tree.

the lady making it had to make it larger than she normally does - ha! i would say 21 family members is a BIG family! anybody else have that BIG of a family?



i have had it over a week now (sorry mom!) i am enjoying looking at it but its in the mail today!

You know that at certain places like Costco and Archivers you can photocopy your 12 x 12 page? Just an idea so you can have one too!

I think your mom will love it!

Oh bummer, my computer screen is messed up and it won't let me see the pictures!!! I'm sure it's wonderful, and I'm SURE she's going to treasure it! :)

I'm so glad I stumbled on your blog tonight! I'm sitting here with a painted yellow canvas and exactly 21 small round pictures from the kids in my son's class. I had them arranged w/ the teacher's initial, in a caterpillar, in a loop. Nothing seemed right. That's it, I'm drawing a tree in the background! Thank you, Thank you! I'll have to post a pic on my blog when it's finished!

Couldn't find an email for you, so hopefully you'll still see this. Wanted to let you know I finished the Class Tree. Thank you so much for the idea! http://aturtleslifeforme.blogspot.com/
