OHHHHH MY STINKING GOSH!!!! YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE THIS!

Isn't this fabulous? I am just tickled pink....truly.

 A few weeks back a friend from Samoa, she put on her blog that her son was trying to earn money for a fire kindle and he sold a picture (similar) to this one for 25.00.

 Well....I loved the picture so much that I asked him to do one for me.
 He made me a sewing machine.

 Did I tell you that he is only 12. He was one of my scouts when I lived there.

 I have an original. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.

 Now this isn't all she sent but that will come later because I wanted his picture to be the focal point of this post.

 Now I didn't ask but I am sure if any of you wanted a picture similar? Maybe in a different format, that he could do it. What a fabulous Christmas present this would make...but hey... THIS IS MINE!!!!

    Love the artwork. And, I think the artist is very talented and hope to see more of his work. Love it. I think he has a career ahead of him as a graphic artist, if he is interested.

    It is a gorgeous piece of art and would look nice in any sewing room in the land. I hope that he does get to sell a few - they would be a hit I am sure.
