This made me cry.
« on: January 19, 2012, 04:15:37 PM »
My face painting group did a secret Santa/Valentine this year.  I still have to send my gift out... but I got mine today.  In addition to treats for the dog & cats, plus some fancy chocolate bars for me and glitter tattoo stencils... my Santa/Valentine had her boyfriend do this portrait of me that made me cry.

It's too perfect!

He incorporated a law book, soap, candles, knitting needles, sewing needle & thread, baking, and paintbrushes.

Right now I have it on the dining room table because I need to get it framed, and every time I walk by, I smile.

I really can't stop smiling at it.  I need to get it framed ASAP.  I found out the artist is actually a comic book illustrator for a living!
