Home Sweet Home

Hard to believe that Christmas was over 3 months ago - time flies! Way back in December, I was working on some lovely house drawings for Christmas gifts. I didn't want to post them at the time, so as not to ruin the surprise, but obviously time got away from me and I never shared them at all!

One that was especially fun for me was a drawing of my Grandmother's old house. She moved away into a smaller apartment years ago, but her house holds a very special place in our whole family's hearts. We spent many, many Christmas Eves at that house, swam in the backyard pool from morning to night in the summers, jumped on (and fell off of...) the trampoline that was a Christmas present one year, slept on the floor of the living room while watching movies - the list goes on and on. My dad knew how much it would mean to his mom to have a picture of that house for her to keep forever.

When we finally gave it to her (January was when we finally got to see her!) she was in tears. She loved it and it really did mean so much to her. Her reaction was exactly what I envisioned when I first started drawing homes. A way to keep those memories alive for years to come.

Here is my Grandmother's drawing!
