A pig, a bird, and a birthday
It has become a tradition for me to give Andrew gifts of custom art that reflect our quirky personalities. (Okay, I say quirky, you say weird... tomayto tomahto...)
This year, wrapped in several pairs of his boxer shorts, I presented to Andrew his dream come true.
Painting by Katie Vernon. Check her out at katievernon.com and her Etsy shop ChipmunkCheeks.
I discovered Katie's work on Design*Sponge, where I fell madly in love with her flower prints. I ordered the hedgehog and deer and just got them framed last night. I'll be sure to show you how they look hanging in our bedroom. (I know, I know. I promise you photos and do I deliver? No. Not yet. But I swear. Things are finally coming together at the house and THERE WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE SOON.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDREW! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MAKING LUCAS WEAR OUR CLOTHES. XOXO

Happy birthday, Andrew!!
Dear Amanda: My birthday is October 12th. I like birds and pigs, also. Love Hillary
This is such a great idea. That painting is the definition exudes all kinds of awesome.
I heart Etsy so hard.
I also love that my hubs calls it "EEET-SY" - it totally cracks me up!
Happy birthday MERMANDREW!
happy birthday to my favorite merman!
happy birthday, andrew!
i love the pig-bird. art based on quirky things totally rocks.
one of my friends spells etsy out, as in "eee-tee-ess-why"... it rhymes with "betsy," come on! ;)
I love how it came out! I hope he loved it as much as you enjoyed getting it for him. :)
Also, Happy Birthday Andrew!
happy birthday andrew!! :)
Cool. I might never use wrapping paper again.
happy birthday andrew! and um sort of a sweet picture.
When I was 9, I had a parakeet and I made him a "portable perch" out of a plastic coat hanger. This totally reminds me of that. Love it.
I think your relationship might be as awesomely weird as mine. And I love it.
Happy Birthday!
