Tah Dah! It's finished!

I painted this manger puzzle for Michelle. This past summer, in May and June, I was in Utah and Julie painted my manger pieces for me. I painted both the stables. We didn't have time to paint Michelle's pieces so I brought her manger set home to finish.
Julie is so good at painting! I felt a little nervous painting Michelle's pieces. I'm glad I had Julie's talents to lean on-the finished manger set she did for me. I would not have attempted painting Michelle's without having Julie's!

I don't take great pictures. It's not the camera. It's the 'me' behind the camera!

I hope Michelle won't be embarrassed to put this on display in her home.

I tried my best. I have arthritis in my fingers so I don't have the fine tuned motor skills I once had. I am getting new glasses this week, so I hope I saw the finer details on these figures. I did enjoy doing the project! I'll be sending it to her in a week or so. I want to be sure the pieces are cured and really dry!

I got a little more confident as I finished each piece. I hope she will enjoy it!
With love,
Mom

It IS beautiful! I won't be embarrassed at all. I can't wait to display it. You did a much better job at painting it then I would have. I don't have patience for things like that. THANK YOU!!!
