Sadie’s work of art
March 26, 2012 By 19 Comments
What do you think of Sadie's new lovely artwork ? It has some of my favorite song lyrics on it, and I got it from my sponsor, 13 Pumpkins. I am so happy with the quality of the sign-it's handmade from wood (obviously), and the letters are painted, not vinyl, which is nice cause I'm always worried Sadie will start peeling off her flower vinyl … [Read more...]
