He is so sweet .. how could you not love a giraffe with those big black eyes?
I am excited to be half way through and maybe do some different faces then what any one would expect. I may go back to other ones but I just had to do this...
Today I am off to visit someone that I love dearly. My godmother Anne. She has always been a wonderful loving woman and her daughter, who is my age, I have always called a god sister.. even though I don't know that there is such a thing. So her and her family are like my family. I haven't always stayed in touch. I have never been like my godmother and written back to her when she would write me countless letters. But I have always loved her attention and thoughtfulness. Sometimes we learn to be more thoughtful before it's too late. Perhaps like me she needed to be reminded that she was loved from time to time by me. Today I hope to convey that to her .. while there is still a chance to do it. I have to say that she took her job as my godmother very seriously. She never ever forgot me .. her charge to make sure that I knew about my beliefs and faith was well done. She always sent me sunday school lessons and letters and cards while we lived in Africa. She always proudly announced that I was her godchild whenever we went home for a visit. I did the same to her later .. when I was finally confirmed, grown and married with my own children. I had many opportunities to return the favor that she was my godmother. I got to be with her on her 80th birthday. So today I'll go and reminisce and love on her as best I can just because I can. I'm grateful for that.
IF you would love to have this adorably cute giraffe in your house .. just email me at iwilldream4ever@aol.com and let me know. He's fifty dollars and a portion will go to the CHILDUG.org organization in Uganda. Thanks for following and write something to me .. is anybody out there?

The giraffe is a beautiful and an adorable thing! I don't know but I think it represents Africa! I just love its long neck! I love how you describe your God mother she is a woman full of love ..how lucky that you had her. Give her the love as you can..my own God mother never fails to amaze me she can never for get my baptism day and she will make it a point to call and say Hello even when I feel big and strong! I just love the feeling that one cares as it is not common in Uganda. Tammy, for children you are raising the funds know that you have their prayers and blessings! whoever will benefit from your effort won't forget your generous contribution.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Josephine .. it is adorable isnt it? Yes she is a wonderful woman. I will be so blessed to help the children.. ..
DeleteHa Tammy, love this animal face ... to celebrate your number 50 !!!
ReplyDeleteYes I have loved Giraffes for a long time .. this one took my heart .. and yes!!! Day 50!!! woo hoo!!! Oh and this painting is SOLD !!
DeleteHalf way there! And what a special face to celebrate that fact. Reminds me of the time we took our kids through the African Lion Safari (where you stayed in your car and drove through the animal enclosures). It was hot that day and we had the windows partially down. #2 son (only about 3 at the time) was eating an apple when suddenly a giraffe came up beside us and obviously noticed the apple. Next thing we knew, there was a massive tongue coming through the window and making off with the apple. Poor kid didn't know whether to be awed or to cry because he lost his apple. Your giraffe looks so kind and gentle - definitely one deserving of apples.
ReplyDeleteMary Anne .. that is a funny story too !! I think my kids would have screamed .. lol .hilarious to imagine though!!! Yes I do think this giraffe would easily get my apple.. such big eyes ..
DeleteI have so enjoyed following your art work! And I love your giraffe. Your work is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLaura thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!!!
