A bushel and a peck framed art

I love you a bushel and a Peck

I loved my grandma Nielson she was the best grandma a girl could ask for. She loved her grandkids – I saw my sister Jeralee pin this quote on pinterest over a year ago and she said how it reminded her of Grandma. My heart melted when I read it because my cute little grandma used to sing this.. a lot especially if you were small enough to be lifted on her lap. She would bounce you on her knee and sing this. As I got older she would hug and kiss my forehead and sometimes sing it to me. Oh the memories of sweet grandma.

One afternoon my mother and I were shopping at a local store Rod Works and saw this phrase in a HUGE frame. The price tag was HUGE too but we both fell in love – I told my mom I could create a smaller version of the same thing. She then asked me to make 7 of these. One for each of my siblings and one for herself for Christmas – I rounded up matching frames at a garage sale for $.50 each. Vinyl and scrapbook paper can make a frame look amazing!

My mother picked out an assortment of colors for the backgrounds and set one aside for each of my siblings. I picked the red one! I love it now that it is getting closer to valentines because it fits right in.

To my Grandma and all the memories of Peppermint gum in her purse, Apricot picking, Huckleberry picking, sewing, Sleep-overs, quilts, prom dresses, dolls, handmade stuffed animals and endless singing. I love you!
