Tirey Crafted

So, funny story time. This will most likely be my last post because I will probably meet my demise when Dani sees this. As most of you know, my wife is currently carrying a child as a surrogate for a lovely couple from far far away. With pregnancy, as a lot of you also probably know, comes with certain- let’s just say “airy moments”. We had just got done going on a lunch date together where she had the most elderly old lady lunch you can think of- open face hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. As we were walking to the car, she uncontrollably let out a belch that you could just tell had a Mission Control countdown going on prior. We both just kinda looked at each other grinning knowing that she’s not really the type of person to belch loudly and especially in public. I might have said “Decent rip dude” to where she responded with- “That tasted like brown gravy.” We both busted up laughing. It was a hilarious moment (one of those you really had to be there kind of moments). I wanted to lock that memory in FOREVER so, since Christmas is her favorite holiday and this happened right before Christmas, I made her a Christmas ornament to relive that bright moment we shared together ❤️

Another sentimental gift from another one of my repeat clients to their loved one. They ordered a 2nd board as well that I will post tomorrow. The recipient’s father had passed away recently and used to always sign their birthday cards a specific way that had an ‘inside joke’ kind of meaning. My client asked if I could try to add it on the board and it turned out perfect! They were so surprised and emotional (in a good way) after seeing it. These are the most rewarding builds that I do. The ones that capture and display a personal memory and feeling from their life bringing pure joy. ❤️
