I had finished the slideshow a few weeks ago and set the disc down. It was only last week when I went to start making a Christmas DVD for my parents that I realized I hadn't given Shirley her disc yet. So, this morning we finally swapped out our talents and I was blown away with the painting she did of Shandi!
That is most definitely my girl Shandi, right down to the shifty eyes that never quite make direct contact with you! On top of the amazing painting, I wasn't expecting it to be matted and framed and I definitely wasn't expecting the two other copies (also matted and framed) that she gave me. After all the work Shirley put into this painting, I felt like I should have gotten Brad Pitt to somehow appear in her mother's slideshow!
You'll have to give me this Shirleys' contact info, lol. Can't wait to see the video. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have some pics to add to it today and then the final copy should be done.
ReplyDeleteShirley should be added to Santa's naughty list, though, because she also gave me some cash on top of everything else. I opened the "Thank you" card while sitting at a set of lights and when I saw the cash, I yelled out her name and just about honked the horn. But I will put some of the money into "professionalizing" the copies of the DVDs I make for her and the family. That Shirley, I tell you... :-)
Your friend Shirley has a real talent!!! I am impressed with this painting... I'd love to have one of my big dog Cocco...! Any chance she'd start a new business??
