When I was a little girl, I would climb onto my Aunt Janie's lap and she'd sing "You Are My Sunshine". And when it got to the part "you make me happy, when skies are..." - she would let me pick the color of the sky. And let me tell you, for a five year old girl this was the coolest thing ever - Aunt Janie had some major connections to be able to just change the song like that! And nothing made me feel more special than being able to pick crazy colors like a pink or purple sky. So I painted this and am giving it to my favorite aunt as a "thank you" for making me feel so special and important - I'll never forget those moments :)

What a sweet gift for your aunt! I wanted to see Breaking Dawn tonight too but I don't think I can deal with the teenyboppers. I made that mistake with New Moon and I couldn't hear half the movie due to all the screaming, ha.

Awww....your aunt is so fabulous! I loved how my aunt would allow me to bake cookies every time I went to her house. I could add anything to the dough (chocolate chips, potato chips, marshmallows, etc.) lol.
So sweet that is a lovely thank you!
