great news…..and it is wonderful that you know it!!

I like how now you have a ‘holy crap ball’. 🙂

Yea!!!!!!! I received the e-mail first, then about an hour later The Man called and we chatted for a bit! OH so nice to hear his voice again (been too long). I’m not sure if my Holy Crap Ball is accurate now! Dagnab Army Scheduling Goobers… why don’t they move as fast as they expect everyone else to?!

Hey Leanne~~~
I picked up Barkley on the way home today. Wow, you can sure create a neat box. Anyway, his portrait now graces a wall we look at all the time. It warms my heart. Thank you so much for the special note you wrote on the back. I am crazy about the portrait. A million thanks, Karen

What great news! Today’s been chock full of niceties, I am feeling awfully blessed. 🙂

Of course (and as usual!) I couldn’t be more honored and humbled that you love Barkley’s portrait. Question is, how does HE like it? 😛

{{hugs!!}}

Ahh, The Barkster never knew how handsome he really was! And of course considering he only weighs in at 14lbs, the portrait is almost life size. My hubby loved it also. I surprised him by hanging it up and waiting for him to see when he got home. Karen

Oh now neat! I was wondering if he liked it as well (thanks for filling in that blank)! That was a biggun for you guys. Oh I hope you’ll take pics of your walls when all of your paintings are hanging so I can see them all! Your home is like a little gallery for me. A bonus gallery at that, since you appreciate them more than the average joe might!

P.S. (just in case you subscribed to comments) I just finished Ashley. 😎

You bet I will send pics of my walls with all my beautiful portraits. I am proud to show them off. And yes, my hubby is equally ‘knocked over’ by how beautiful they are.
