Sally's Sampler, all framed and ready!

It's ready...and now I want to keep it! J/K It's going to its new home sometime this weekend! This is a picture taken outside in my backyard on an overcast day.



This picture was taken inside with a flash. It really warms up with the flash (this replicates the true colors of the piece).



You know...I would only give this away to someone I really loved! Sally has been my daughter's best friend since first grade! They are 2 peas in a pod! Oh how I love those girls! Thanks, Sally, for being such a fabulous friend to my daughter! Anyone know some really handsome, wonderful, ambitious twin boys between the ages of 26-30 that want to marry best friends and live next door to each other the rest of their lives? :)

This picture was taken in 1995 when they were in 4th grade, Sally on the left (11), Christy on the right (10). Peg and I made twin watermelon dresses for them. They are going to kill me for posting this picture! LOL!

I think I would have to kill you too! Just kidding. It's a pretty piece to share. I hope they will always be close, in heart and place.
