P.S. I am hoping that my packages arrive at their destination soon! One is going to Canada and one to Brazil! I am thinking it might take a while! :(

One of my favorite pictures is Mary and my Mom on the right picture, Mary is hugging my Mom. Is that not the sweetest thing?It was Mary's birthday.

I know this might be a difficult thing for some, but these are boards that I have finished for my wonderful Mary! The family asked that I do a couple boards, Mary is suffering from Ovarian cancer and at the end of her journey. If there is one thing I have learned through all this, knowing that someone is slipping away from you....is that each person suffers along in their own way, with their own opinions of how things should be happening , what should be happening, what is proper, what is expected etc. It is a little hard working on these while Mary is still with us.....but I found a joy in pouring my heart into it.....especially into the yellow board which is my tribute to her special and loving personality...which gave us all joy! The red board is a bunch of pictures from work--old ones, since Mary is the original owner and creator of Martino's restaurant that my Mom and I have worked for the past 32 years! I have grown up there...and Mary has always been a blessing to me.

I am going to show you my tattoo(at the top of the post) again in honoring her, she has suffered from Breast Cancer and now the Ovarian Cancer, and thus the colors of the ribbon(pink and teal) that wrap around the Chicago Style Hotdog (one of our best selling items). This tattoo is on my ankle, and I did add a small version of it to the board too!
Anyways, I just wanted to share these......and show tell the world I am blessed to know Mary.
