before i was born, my parents move west to calif and left all their family behind, in va... i never had the opportunity to meet any relatives.. a few years ago with one remembered name in hand, i started searching for my two cousins... after lots of searching i found one... we have been in contact now for over 6 months, by phone and internet.. i had hoped when i went to out to a painting friend workshop in fa., i would stop and see her.. but the hurricane had other ideas and i had to take a different route home... we were both very sad to have missed that time.. well last week i received a wonderful cousin ring from her, that she had made .. one for her and one for me.. so we would always remember that we had a cousin, across the country, that loved us.. it was soooo sweet!!! i thought i would send her a little gift, with my thank you note, that let her know she was loved too.. hope she likes it!!

What a lovely story Cindi, and a lovely painting too!
Cindi, absolutely lovely. Your cousin will be so pleased and touched. You have done a beautiful job on these pears..
What a lovely story Cindi, so glad you found each other again, so sad you didn't get to meet in person though, one day you will....I'm sure she will treasure your gift as you are hers..
How beautiful - the story and the painting!
You will have to tell us what your cousin thinks of the pears :) xx
Wonderful story about your "new" cousin, Cindi...and also wonderful painting of your pears...they look lucious. Maybe if we have "Splash" anywhere near where your cousin lives you'll be able to go up and meet her in person.
A really lovely painting and I know your cousin will smile and think of you each time she looks at it.
