How SWEET It IS!!!!

Does this look familiar? Well, I am sure it does as it is the design from my blog. My son's girlfriend, sweet Miss Krystal, made this for me!
Sweet Miss K. flew out for a visit in March (she is from the East Coast) and even carried this sweet platter in her carry-on luggage. Ohhhh....I am so happy it arrived safe and sound!
She hand painted each perfect detail onto the platter and had it fired in a kiln.
It must have taken her hours and hours to do this.
Krystal, my sweet girl, thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a lovely and personal gift. I will cherish it forever and ever. You are so SWEET!!!!!!

It is no wonder that Spen loves you so much!

So do I!!!!!



((hugs)) and XXXXXX

    The platter is soooo beautiful! How sweet and thoughtful of Krystal to paint this for you! Miss Krystal is very talented and I'm sure it took her a long time to paint it. She captured every detail perfectly. What a wonderful treasure you have received in this gift and this young woman :)

    I would treasure that forever, and I know you will.

    Now, I would LOVE to have one with my blog header on it, I collect platters and this would just be out of this world.

    Is this something she does all the time? I would most certainly love to purchase one from her...she is very talented!!
