My favorite GIFT!



Here is my mantle and a picture of my little ones. Each year when the children were 3-I had a pastel done of them. A Christmas gift from my parents. I have decided to hang them above my mantle. I love them side by side and will cherish them forever. My master/grand plan is to have an oil done of them together that my husband and I will keep and children can take their pastels with them when they get older and have a place of their own. The artist is Christy Talbott. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her. She has children of her own-so she gets "it" and knows how stressful having a portrait done is. Check out her site and blog and see all of her work.

Oh, I wish I had done something like this for my boys! We have had professional pictures taken, which I LOVE, but there is something so timeless about a portrait.
