Oh my, do I have a special treat for you guys today!! Let me introduce you to my real life friend, Ann. I am not sure I know many girls as sweet, talented, and as positive as Ann. She is always smiling and happy no matter what.  I truly treasure her friendship so much, and I know Carson and Taylor feel the same way about her two precious girls.

Now back to her talents I mentioned earlier. She's good and I mean real good. When she sent me the pictures of her paintings I about died! I mean really, what a special gift to treasure forever. My absolute favorites are her original paintings, because they are just that, original. She also does some pretty sweet silhouettes, and custom toy portraits. What are toy portraits? Get this, you know your babies favorite lovey, animal, or maybe even toy. Well Ann will custom paint that for you. Carson has this one eared dog lovely that he has slept with since he was a newborn. Like, he can not sleep with out it, that's how attached he is. How cute would it be to have a canvas of Mr. one ear puppy in his room? I know he would love it. 

Here's a little peek at some of her beautiful work.

Here is the silhouette she did of Carson, and I just snapped a side profile picture with my phone and sent it to her. I mean isn't it awesome!!
