It was a total surprize for her just to have us all arrive. I went in and told her the story of how I came up with the idea oneday at work and how her mom had said she loved clocks so I decided to make this art for her... she still hasn't seen it yet

    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...

    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.

    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!!!

    I still love looking at that beautiful picture...
