Look at what UPS delivered to Cortney!

When Cortney graduated Sept. 09, she received many wonderful gifts, included in them was a gift from Grandma Nita to design and have your own woven afghan made. Well...... it got set aside until we had more time to look at it, and guess what (shamefully I admit) it was forgotten. Grandma asked if we'd ever sent away to have this made( my reminder) so.... we got it out, picked a picture Cortney wanted and a scripture and put it in the mail.  Several weeks or so later, a phone call comes in, saying the picture Cortney had chosen wouldn't work, it was to much of a close up and since they had to enlarge the photo something like 400% well, it just wasn't going to work. The lady who helped us was very nice and said we could email another photo to save time. We found several other pictures and Cortney chose another and we emailed it, this took place just two weeks ago and Monday the UPS man shows up with this for Cortney, see below!


 It's really heavy, such a wonderful keepsake for her.
 This is Cortney's favorite Bible verse and is very fitting, in remembrance of Mo.
Isn't it lovely?  Cortney knows Grandma Nita reads our blog and wishes to say "Thank You and HUGS Grandma"
