so I went out and brought it in, here I was holding the mosaic in front of her and she yelled WOW! you see her tone went haywire with excitement (and my DD is so used to blocking a smack to her face... lol)

Everyday since, she has had her mom set her in front of it so that she can study it. I feel so good knowing I made something she truely enjoys...

Oh NT!!! I'm crying with joy for you and Sidney!!! What a super cool thing to do!!! I love giving my art to people too!!! Now about those prints....WHEN can we get some!?!

NT, we can really tell she is excited and happy to receive this. Isn't it nice when we can put a smile on someone's face. I love that project of yours! (and all others too)

Thankyou both!

Jane, I'm filling out the order forms right now so it should be within a month or so as they estimate 4-5 weeks turn around. I need to get the card order under way too.

Oh Nice, I'm so glad we got to share her delight!!!!The smile on her face says it all!!! I'm wiping the tears. I just know she will have many, many hours of joy from your dancing, singing tree!!!!! How wonderful!!!

Bless your dear heart, child. You really know how to touch the hearts of people through your benevolence, as well as our hearts, blessed enough to see your work through this forum. This is the most wonderful thing I've seen in a long time. I wish we lived closer so I could get to know you personally. What a joyous event that must have been. On a smart-a$$ note - how you gonna top this one, girlie?

ROFL! Slow - I'm not sure that would be possible in a million years. This might just be the biggest bestest thing I do. and I'll be fine with that.

In all the years that I've known Sidney, I've never been able to give her a birthday or Christmas gift that she could really enjoy. And now I made something she loves and can enjoy all her life. That accomplishment makes my heart smile!

thank you all for sharing in this experience with me

NT, what a fantastic heartwarming experience you have given all of us -especially Sidney and her Mom, not to mention your kids seeing their Mom selflessly create this amazing piece of art.

What a gem you are!! I imagine Sidney will spend hours and hours absorbed in her new eyecandy!!!

almost a year later, how are things going with Sidney and what new happenings in her life have gone on?

I still love looking at that beautiful picture...

Yeah, and I miss NT posting here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the poster front and center in my Art Room!!! See it Everyday!! Thanks for bringing this back up!!!

That is truly one of the most beautiful mosaics I have ever seen!!! Absolutely phenomenal!!!
