For an amazing person

I have been unusually blessed in my life with wonderful women in my family, my Mom, my grandmothers, my aunts….One Aunt in particular, my Aunt Cindy, I was always very close to. She was/is the "cool Aunt" beautiful, fun, great clothes – you know. But even more so than that, she was and still is always there for me. From my parents divorce, to my jr. high/high school stupidity and even now she has always had an ear to turn to, a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug and hands to heal. She has done more for me than I probably ever deserved and she still does. I try my hardest to try to show her or tell her how grateful I really am, and I pray she knows. She is a unique soul and a kind loving heart…..

Last year for her birthday I traveled by myself with the boys for the first time and drove the almost 5 hours to go to her surprise "milestone" birthday. (This year I was late calling her….yikes) Anyhow, I made this gift paint can up just for her. She even saw it in my closet before I had it all done and I just told her it was a project I was working on hee hee. It took me a long time to get it all together and everything right, but that’s ok, because even though I never have enough time, I have even less money, so I gotta spend the time hee hee! So it was made with love from the heart….Anyhow, she said she loved it, so I though I’d share it with y’all.
