IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! The post master must have read my face when she came out with this huge box - I was shocked. LOL She asked "I take it you weren't expecting this huh?". LOL
Let me first start by saying: I cannot express enough emotion here - not enough icons to display - no words I write will convey the true excitement, astonishment, awe, surprise, GOOSEBUMPS, gratitude, speechless staring in amazement, and of course true respect for such a talented artist.... and I can go on and on. The ingenuity and creativity and the attention my SS spent on our farm, our program, and our herd sire is amazing - and all put into the most cherished piece of art we'll keep forever!
Hubby couldn't say a word at first - then he said "I wish she had signed the back" - he too realized the amount of time and talent that went into this. So we're going to cut off all the stamps and her address label and tape it to the back for remembrance. LOL Not that we'd ever forget mind you - but all works of art are signed by their creator.
Okay ..... so you couldn't see me jumping up and down but by golly I'm sure every single one of you heard our screams of delight! LOL
I waited to open it until Holly could join in. We immediately hung it up to stare at it and take it all in - Hubby arrived few mins later and was completely blown away!
Thank you - and I mean the sincerest appreciation from us all - to
Julie Miller, aka CretaHillsGal - all the way from Oklahoma! The stamps alone were expensive! You have made the one and only White Tails sign - it will hang forever in our new office in the barn! I still just can't get over it - you went way overboard - way overboard! This was truly worth the wait (yes, Robin said so too) - oh my gosh!
Thank you many times over .............. oh wait - and if that wasn't enough - - there was chocolate in there too! Two beautiful boxes of delightful chocolate - I'm hiding them to have all to myself. LOL Again, you went way overboard and we can't thank you enough!
To do justice to this wonderful gift and to Julie's talent, I must put several pictures here so you can see in its entirety - I'm just still so amazed!
I must point out that the logo (our new logo remember) is HAND PAINTED !!! It is an exact duplicate of our logo done by hand - I just can't get over it !
This is closeup of the top half - handpainted logo - wow!
Closeup of the bottom - which is enterchangeable as the paper slides in/out so you can change it along the way (we're leaving it just as is!):
Julie - I'll be sending you a personal thank you as well ~
