A Wonderful Gift

This past Mother's Day was a little rough for me as that was the long weekend that my husband drove my oldest daughter Jess out to Southern California to start a new job. My youngest daughter Jenny saved the day by bringing me flowers and taking me out for dinner.

This past weekend, Jess came back to attend her sister's high school graduation and gave me a painting (that she painted)for my Mother's Day gift.

Isn't it beautiful?


Here's a closeup of some of the detail...


This is what she wrote on the back...
Isn't that sweet?



Now, all I have to do is find a great place to display it!


Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Wow, did your daughter paint that picture? If so, she is seriously talented! If not, she has amazing taste! Either way, it's an awesome gift, so full of color and life, and what a sweet sentiment she wrote on the back!

Best,

My daughter painted the poppies painting after arriving in California a few weeks ago. I must have deleted that part when I added the link at the bottom. Thanks for all the nice comments!
