Noah's Ark a Special Gift

It is so nice to be asked to do a custom order for someone. It is even more special to be asked to do a custom order for a friend. Noah's Ark was created for my friend Dee. Dee will be giving this as a baby gift to her son and daughter-in-law. 

Dee was my co-worker up until last week and is a dear friend.  Last week was a very special week for her.  Not only did she become a Grandmother on New Year's Day, she retired from Indiana Protection and Advocacy Services Commission the day before on New Year's Eve.  What a way to end one year and begin the next!

Dee provided much needed advocacy for individuals with disabilities in the state of Indiana and will be dearly missed. Congratulations to Dee and her growing family.

 The theme of the nursery is Noah's Ark. When creating this piece, I was reminded of the birth of my twins. My sister Linda is a painter and she did a painting of Noah's Ark for the my twins nursery. It was a very special and precious gift.  It hangs in our bedroom yet today.
