    I just love this. You've done a great job figuring out everything and sharing the tutorial. The mirrored tiles really make it awesome! Here's another one for the hall of fame!

    You done good! I'll bet they will be tickled pink. How about a cactus in that thar ole boot.

    Oh, how BEAUTIFUL. I'm sure you're bursting w/pride on this one. LADY, you are G.O.O.D. And, just look at the perfect heart-shaped hole for planting. Made w/LOVE. I REALLY love this boot, and am kicking myself for tossing out an old worn out pair just recently. I have eleven pairs left, hmmmmmmmmmm - which pair can I spare?

    That is one fantastic boot! When are you giving it to them? You must be so excited to see their reaction.

    I do love those boots .That would be cool for my boss.

  • 19 years ago

    Thank you, thank you, most humbly thank you all.

    KELLY: It is easier to give it up because I went into it knowing I was giving it away to these dear people. They are our pastor and his wife, but also very good friends.
    No, I am not in Missouri, but within 45 minutes of it, in Arkansas.

    HAZIE I: It has CERTAINLY been a process! And I am CERTAINLY glad to have it done! And glad it did turn out well.

    NT: Yep, that's my favorite part about it, the "authentic" shape of it.

    BAMA: I've been waiting for you to say it! :)

    SHELLY, RMT, HELEN, MARIA, SUNFUN, KLINGER, NANA: THANK YOU!

    LILY: A cactus is what I have in mind also. The little African violet is just what I had in a pot small enough for the photo!

    SLOW: That heart shape is just a happy coincidence from the angle of the picture. It really is an oval with a hole in the middle, with the ends cut down.

    ANNIE: Thank you. Just to clarify, it's not going to a "he", but a "he and she" :)

    JANIE, CRAFTY, KATIE: You're welcome! It was fun!

    ZONE: I just sealed it a little while ago. Maybe tomorrow night, or this weekend for sure.

    Thanks again, everyone!

    OMG...just realized I hadn't commented on the "finished" project! Wow. It turned out beautifully! You should really be proud, and I want to add my thanks for the "play by play" you do so well. Great project, lucky friends!!

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks, LYNDA :)

  • 19 years ago

    That's just pretty darn cool, Ronnie! I love it and love the tutorials on it. Makes me indecisive now on whether to paint my cement one or mosaic it. Great job!

    Our friends took us to dinner tonight, and I gave them the boot. Well, I gave them the boot that I MADE, that is! With a little cactus. They seemed to like it, he especially. Thanks for watching!

    I love it too! It's very cool!

  • 19 years ago

    So glad they liked it Ronnie! How could they not? I hope they truly appreciate what a thoughtful and unique gift you've given them.

    Well, it doesn't seem, from your comment, that they were over-joyed w/the specialness of the gift. I expected you'd come back w/tons of exclamations from them. I SURELY LOVE IT, and I would have gone wild w/excitement at a gift such as this, and thoroughly loved the process you presented to us.

  • 19 years ago

    I thought the same thing Slow did. "They seemed to like it"...Someone gave me a gift like that there'd be no "seemed" about it!!
