Gabby's SB is Krissie Bella!!!
 

And today she sent me my very own painting!!!!

I LOVE THIS!
I mean I REALLY love this. So much in fact, that I want another one!

Krissie Bella says we have one more thing coming. When that gets here, I'll compose my smilebox. Between the teaser gifts she sent and now this absolutely stunning oil painting, I think we have the best SB of all! I can't imagine what else is on the way!

Krissie Bella, thank you so much. You've made our first GE one that we'll never forget. I've had so much fun!

omg.. that picture is beautiful!!!!

I know. It immediately went on the wall.
Krissie Bella says it takes 6 months for it to dry so I put it up high, out of reach of fingers.

I do want another one. I love this so much.
Krissie: PM me with info on how I can order another painting!

That is gorgeous! I'm jealous and want one too..

Absolutely stunning painting!!

Krissie Bella, if your mama made that, you have one special, gifted mama!!! Gorgeous, and so so special.

That is so beautiful. Please PM me with the ordering info. I would love to get one of my 3 yorkies together.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Great job!

OMG that is gorgeous!!!! What a great SB you have:)

Omgosh that is so nice!

Oh and I want one too! lol

I have a very special friend that does these for me. She is 62 years old and works out of her Art Studio. She owns a Yorkie named Minnie. She has painted I think the last 3 or 4 of my Gift Exchanges. I just think that they are such a special gift. Oil paintings do not fade, so it will be an heirloom, even after our babies cross the bridge. I wouldn't take anything for mine. She just did a Maltese for a couple that had crossed and it turned out fabulous. It is on her facebook. The Paintin' Palette. You will see several of my GE paintings. Gabby's will also go into her gallery.

Your next shipment is a pretty large one. We had to switch some items around because of backorders. I do hope that you enjoy everything. We did want your first GE to be special. I'm not crafty or artsy. So, I do a lot of drop shipping. I do commission the painting and work with the artist until it is completed to my liking. I did get your favorite picture, but not until the work had begun. I think that you were in Germany when we were trying to shake everyone down for pictures. I got a lovely set of coaster's with KB's pic on them. Such a treasure. Your Bloomingtale's shipment should be there any day!!! Have Fun!! We have loved shopping for you!! xoxo:):)

Krissie:

My favorite picture isn't one that would look as good painted in oil. In fact, that picture was the day Gabby came from the the hospital. I think it's my favorite because her going under anesthesia was so touchy and she just looked so vulnerable lieing in her bed. She was still coming down from the anesthesia.

The one you selected was MUCH better for a painting! It shows her vibrant and spunky side. Even Chris was blown away and said how it looks exactly like her! I do want another one, so definitely pm me with info when you get a chance!

You have spoiled us rotten! We've really enjoyed participating in this GE!

Wow...just WOW! How beautiful :)
You are one lucky dog Gabby!

Great job KB :D Your friend really does gorgeous work; definetly something to treasure.

I liked her on Facebook. I am really considering getting in touch with her for her to do a portrait of my little ones together. :)
