For some reason, quite a while back, she decided to do something very special for me.... probably just to see me cry at my picnic.... it worked! tears

That little sweetheart sat down and designed a gnome clock.... just for ME! She documented each step in the process with a beautiful book and included "THE Poem" that was written as M'Ladies headed off on their epic journey to Cedar Hill. You don't get to see everything, but..... she included the original design sketches.
[Linked Image]


After adjusting colors and details on the sketches, she searched for just the right craftsman to create this work of art just for me. With the perfect piece of white pine in front of him, and mallet and chisels in hand, he began to carefully carve and shape my treasure....

More carving followed by painting and more painting and special extra touches like tiny gem stones from the Black Mountains of North Carolina hang from his tool belt. Then Diane carved a special message to me on the back of the clock....

[Linked Image]

Then she succeeded in making me bawl like a baby.... tears

[Linked Image]

Thank you Diane! That will ALWAYS be one of my most cherished treasures in the world! I can't believe all the thought and care that you put into something for lil old me..... and the book and the postcards are icing on one of the nicest gifts I will ever receive in my life.....

THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you once again for All you've done for all of us!!! kissie

It certainly was nice to see the outpouring of love and friendship from all across the country this past week. I even got a little teary eyed (and no I'm not afraid to admit it). There were a lot of precious memories made this past week and I sincerely hope we can do this again another time!
