This is why I can't get anything done!

Why do cat's like boxes? Of coarse it's shipping day and my animals have to get involved!

This was the cat that knocked over Amanda's tree and broke her ornaments. Of coarse, the  cat is a little angel!

and... last but not least - a challenge.  Getting 8 grandkids into a trailer hayride custom made for Grandparents that take their kids on hayrides in utility trailers - love it!

Some Unusual Requests!

Oil Worker with Jack-Pump for Lucy's son  in Texas!
Military Family from Tennessee - Go USA!
"Born to be wild!"  "Cactus Queen" & "This is for the birds!"
and last but not least, done for my son Ryan to his fellow associates at the Desert Botanical Gardens.

Here is an excerpt of an e-mail I received today. First I was crying, then I was laughing -

Hello Bert...you don't know me, but you have been a part of my life for years. My grandmother is Noreen Clements, and I have received one of your ornaments every year since I was a child. I love them - to me, they are what makes my whole Christmas. Long story short, my kitten toppled my tree last night and sent half of your beautiful ornaments crashing - and they broke. Do you have a repair policy? If I send them to you, can you try to fix them? I can't tell you how devastated I was last night - I was absolutely inconsolable with tears(which is a testament to your beautiful work and how much I love them so dearly). Please contact at your earliest convenience - I don't mind phone or email...I hope that you can help me.

After I talked to Amanda - she said she had my ornaments before she "had a memory" - that either makes me  feel special or really old! I cherish both! Then she told me she still had the tags on them from when her Grandma gave them to her all except for one.
 I just couldn't believe it - This is why I still do what I do. Everyday I thank God that He has given me this talent and ability to where I can't explain where it comes from, only He gets the glory!
Have a Blessed Day! Bert
