2008 Mother's Day

...Five Roses....

... five Mother's Days without you...

 

  

2008 Father's Day

  

 

As the redecorating project began in Erins room, her dad made one request:  to retain as much of "Erin" intact as possible.  For Steven, keeping the corkboard that Erin had covered with pictures of her favorite sports figures was a must.  Unfortunately the years were taking their toll on the newspaper photos held in place with push-pins.  Fast Frame provided the solution by creating an acrylic case to protect the contents.  I presented the finished product to Steven on Father's Day.
