@Tom 😅 Lol! I actually thought about tagging you to show you that you were rightttttt!! Lol! I got er'done! But WOW, that was close! Thanks, Awesomeness!
🤜🏼🤛🏼

@Eric Thank you, Eric!! Yea, I was saying, "Thank God!" And " Hallelujah!" 😂 I never was so happy to get a basket completed!
My awesome brother in MT was constantly checking in on me to see how it was progressing. He did say, "She may like to see you working on it." I laughed and agreed, but told him I didn't want that to HAVE to happen. Thankfully, shew😮‍💨, I can go there with a gift ready to give.
😁👏🏻👏🏻🕺🏻💃🕺🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Casi Thank you so much, my sweet friend!!🤗 I will show her these/your message. 🥰 (Making a note: Casi is next in line! Hee😄😉)

@Joe Thank you, Joe!! I am hoping she does! 🙏 She seems into very classy and expensive store bought items, and hardly no rustic things. Sooooo, 😬, she did say she wanted one (which was sorta a shock)....if she doesn't like it, I'm snatching it out of her hands....🤣😅🤣....and it goes to Colorado (☝🏻). Hee
Thanks again! I peeked at your profile again.....you still doing decoys?

Happy Birthday to your mom! 🎂
She's going to love it! A beautiful and touching gift from your heart and hands.❤

@David Thanks, David! I hope so. 🙏 She is a tough cookie to please. I'll post photos, maybe (lol, if I remember to) of her with it.😇

That’s hilarious 😂. No I took a break for a bit

No better feeling than coming in under the wire. Awesome work👊

@Lisa so how did it go????? My bet is that she loved it! Give us an update! 😍

@Mike Lol! Yea, 😄 ....
I
Love
Stress!!
🤣😅😜😉😉

@Casi I tried to attach a 31 second video...but I can't here in comments.
She seems like she likes it.....but I think her Parkinson's makes her sad with a touch of anger. Makes me sad.🥺 But honestly, I wasn't expecting her to be wowed over anything. I just don't think much gives her joy these days. It absolutely takes my heart to the depths of the deepest ocean. I am going to try and stay here over the weekend.

That's sad. But its the Parkinsons that does that, its not her. If it weren't for that disease, I'm sure she'd show more emotion and be overjoyed to receive such a gift.

@David Correct, my friend. It's good you have an understanding of it. Did you have someone with Parkinson's that you knew? She's been dealing with it for 20 years....so nothing new. It has just got worse for her ever since she moved to KY from MT. She said she moved back to be closer to the grave site. Sad stuff

@Lisa aw great picture doesn't look like she aged much for being 78. Thanks for sharing

@Lisa no no one i knew had it. Just a good understanding of it. Knew those who had dementia and alzheimer though.

You rock Lisa !!!!

@Dave YOU are too kind!!!
And for the record, lol, I have no clue who that person is in the GIF. 🤣 if it is someone from "the dark side"😆😜 ...let me know.😜😆

@Lisa Beautiful!

@Lisa no clue

@Lisa I didn’t send a GIF ?

Just looking this basket over 👀 it really is spectacularly crafted. Are the flowers on the inside embroidered? What is the white material? Do you design these yourself? Simply amazing!!

@Lisa maybe some guy named Travis. Seems to be pretty popular. 🤔🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@Jeff Thank you, Jeff!🤗

@Dave I was referring to the GIF I sent.😁😉
Thank you sooooo much!🤗 The center is actually a ceramic piece with the flowers painted on. I actually have two people that I work with on Etsy.😇 Appreciate you

@David Hmm. He looks like he's popular. Hee. Thanks 😇

@Lisa 😁

@Lisa YW

Awesome my friend 😎😇
