Hello everyone--hope you are having a great day--I am!!

I wanted to share a story behind one of the pictures. The one with the little blonde haired girl and her little Teddy Bear in a swing under a big Oak tree. My daughter's name is Hope and she loved that raggedy torn Teddy Bear. She took it everywhere--including to bed. There was NO time that I could possibly clean it because she always had it under her arms---it even took a bath with her.  We had a huge Oak tree in the back yard with this swing tied to it. This is where she stayed all the time--of course I Had to make her come out of the rain but she sure didn't want to. That swing was HERS and NOBODY better not get on it or it would not be a pretty site-ha!  She fell out of that old swing so many times but I would just go out and pick her up and give her a bunch of loving hugs and put a few bandages on and send her on her way. I would look out the window and she would be talking or singing to that Teddy Bear.  My daughter, Hope, has grown up now and has a beautiful daughter of her own and she looked just like my daughter when she was little and just as sweet, (Cassey), but now she is grown too. Stay tuned and I will continue this story. And, I will tell you about another story about another painting I done of Cassey and her big tree. So. stay tuned and I will be back with more stories. 

I hoped you liked it and hope you will have a Blessed Day!
