When my Mom hands out gifts to my children she tells me, "You don't get a gift from me. Your gift is Kenneth." (Of course, if she finds a vintage crochet book from 1947, she makes sure it ends up with my name on it. Thanks Mom.)
When I opened it on Christmas morning, tears came to my eyes. It is thrifted, vintage, full of kitchy women's folk art and from her heart to mine. Of course, the part I love most is the inscription in the front, signed with her signature xoxox :).... My Mom was emoticon-ing before social media was even invented.
So, regarding Christmas vacation, here is a little moment the represents pretty much all of the time we spent inside during our stay-cation. Dad aka human playground.
(this clip is a bit too long long, but there is a laughable moment at the end)
If Kenneth were the one and only gift I ever got from now until forever, I'd be okay with that.
But I won't give back the crochet book. Ever.

your mom's signature is so cute- and that picture below!
How do you get the color palate to do that on the picture? That is cool! In regards to your other post, you should read the book Boundaries. I know you like Dave Ramsey, as do I, and he recommends that book. I bought it and really appreciate what it has to say about those types of people and situations. Give it a whirl, it is very empowering.
Kristen - Yes. I will look up that book. Thanks.
I used photoshop, the paint bucket tool to pick out various colors from the photo and then spill it into the smaller squares.
Try thecoffeeshopblog.com That's where I got the template from.
