This spring I completed my first practicum with a WONDERFUL non-profit organization that grants wishes to Texas children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses. They are called A Wish with Wings (visit their website to learn more!). Needless to say, I absolutely LOVED it and the three sweet and hard working ladies who helped me through my journey, so I wanted to make them something really special to thank them. I decided to make each of them a picture frame with painted butterflies (the organization's logo is a butterfly). It was definitely trial and error--I had never painted something for anyone other than myself because I am usually unhappy with what I make (maybe I'm a little bit of a perfectionist ;) )! But I feel like all three frames turned out pretty stinkin' cute considering my lack of painting experience. What's even better is they were SO FUN to make! I forgot about how much I love painting, and hopefully I will get better with practice! So here are some pictures of the finished products:
All three loved their frames (or maybe they were just trying to make me feel good--it worked! heehee)! One of the girls even asked if I could make a custom frame for father's day to give to her boyfriend from his daughter. Of course I jumped at the chance, and I will put up pictures of the frame I made as soon as I find out which camera or phone I took them on! (A little disorganized? Me? No, never!)
'Till Next Time,
Sarah
