Here's the low down.....this is my Grandson, although I'm not really old enough (ok, it's possible at 45 yrs old) to have grandkids yet and I don't really have access to him and here's why...
I had a daughter when I was 17 yrs old but being so young myself, my best choice was adoption...and so the right parents were found, the papers were signed, and life went on....
In the year 2000, I discovered that my then 18 yr old daughter was beginning the process contacting me thru the adoption agency we used and on her 19th birthday, we were on the way home from picking her up at the Atlanta bus station...

Amazing picture elly and an amazing story. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and acknowledging God in the midst of all that has happened. Only He can provide such strength along with the artistic talent that He has so fully blessed you with. Keep them coming, please!

I'm glad to see other people sharing their stories here. I still have hopes that someday my daughter might be able to locate her son. He's probably married by now, and has kids of his own. Who knows....my daughter might be a "grandmother".......which would make me a "great grandmother".

That's amazing, elly. I like the high contrast!
I was adopted when I was six years old. The adoption agency spent two years trying to find my parents while I was in foster care but had no luck. When I was younger, not knowing who my real mom was constantly bothered me. Nowadays, it's not something I think about but I still want to know. I'd like to find her and ask her all these questions that need answers. I'd hope she could answer them for me. On the other hand, I might be better off not digging around for her. I guess I won't know until I cross that bridge.

I came across these roses not long ago. They're called "Happy Flowers" I think...they've figured out a way to dye them (like they do to carnations) but in multi color! I think they're so pretty...in an odd sort of way. The perfect "Easter Rose" I thought....Have a Happy One!! =)

lol, OK! That is something else..very nice compliment, indeed. I just mentioned because I remember the monitor trouble you had once upon a time and wasn't sure. ...oh, and thought the left side was just a nice fade out of fur..very nice indeedyy!=D
elly (Mar 2, 2010)
Sunny, I'm impressed with your memory!!! I had a terrible monitor some time ago.....couldn't see half the stuff others were seeing (till I got my mac and went back to look thru my old draws... O_O) ewwww...lol! Thanks again my friend!
Aakyra (Mar 2, 2010)
Elly, this is so perfect! I am certain this handsome guy will be a wonderful addition to your friend's website!

I came across a photo showing this really cool Asian wall art a few years ago and hung on to it hoping to try my hand at this in my home one day.. they use paper that's bent and creased in just the right places & then mount them onto the wall, then they used directional light positioned just right to cast shadows of face profiles made by the bent paper...I thought it was quite clever! Since I haven't taken the time to try it first hand, I decided I'd draw it instead!! =) Kewl huh?
