My First Original Painting

I took this photo of my oldest son running on the beach while visiting Amelia Island over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2008. It turned out to be the last day I spent with my parents before a car accident took them in March 2009. While I wish I could take credit for the poem, I cannot. It was sent to my by a friend who had received it after she and her husband suffered a loss.

I titled the painting, Chasing Seagulls.





Mom's Ransom Rubbage Box

In an attempt to start the new year off with less nagging and more hugging, I found this great idea on Pinterest from madsmemories.blog... and had to create one for my three sons.




We'll see how it works!
