little sweetie

Last night was a baby shower for a very good friend of mine. She has been trying to adopt for years, and it has now happened.. oh we are all just thrilled for her and her husband. For 5 week old Madeline Ray Thomas, I painted a little green apple for her. It was a canvas I had on hand from before when they nearly adopted before (my friends have been through the ringer a few times). But it found it's rightful home, and it turned out just how I'd hoped. Now I just need to start signing J.J. Reeder... not Jayci Jr. ha!

Hey Jayci! In response to your comment, yes, I used Booksmart to print off my in-law's blog. It was a HUGE project. I wanted to do my mom's blog for her as well but I was just too burnt out. Someday I'll get around to doing my own but I'll definitely need big breaks in between doing each book. Good luck getting yours done!

P.S. I LOVE the apple, you are so talented!
