"Happy Birthday Elenore, July 31, 2011"I seemed to delight my sister with her birthday present this year. The above sketch has a great deal of meaning for both of us. First it was sketched from the last picture we took in one of those photo booths a few years ago. (Is there anything more fun that posing for those five shots?) Second, my sister is a lipstick fanatic. Stepping outside your front door without lipstick is a sin in her eyes. Thus the sketch title, Lipstick Sisters. ''
Love you Elenore and am so happy you liked this:)
Hope you got to comment on Monday's QUESTION OF THE WEEK about coincidences?
What a great gift! Gifts from the heart are always the best. Happy Birthday Elenore!
ReplyDeleteThat is a treasure! My two sisters and I posed for those five shots in a photo booth a few years ago when we were all in Jacksonville, FL for a wedding. My mom and dad said that everyone walking by smiles because of the rollicking laughter coming out of that booth. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my mother wouldn't have walked to the mailbox without lipstick. She insisted on even putting it on as they were taking her to surgery once. Me - not so much. I'm a lip gloss girl (when I think about it.)
Thank you my dear sister for the best gift I ever receieved. XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful permanent memory.
ReplyDeleteDear Annie ~~ Cute picture. The girls today don't seem to wear much lipstick or make-up. Great memories
ReplyDeletefrom earlier days.
Thank you for your comments on three months being a good result - I was happy with that result and we will see what happens then. Glad you liked the jokes - that Italian wedding test was funny and he was actually going to his car for condoms
Take care my friend, Love, Merle.
That is a truly great birthday present! Love it! Happy birthday to your sis!
ReplyDeleteBonnie – Well we are “heart sisters” as well as lipstick sisters.
ReplyDeleteLynn – Oh yes, I know that sound coming out of the booth. We laughed and laughed as well and it feels good just remembering it.
Ellymae – I will have to give you more sketches since it inspires you to comment on my blog finally! Surely it’s not the best gift you ever received cause I can remember many you’ve gotten that are lots better.
Tabor – Yes, it does make us both feel good to look at the sketch and remember the fun we have had all our lives together.’’
Merle – I still wear bright red nail polish and lipstick and my granddaughters think I’m way out of today’s “normal” appearance
LL Cool Joe -- So honored that you like it. It sounds like she had a totally great BD!
A special gift indeed....
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Those are the best gifts!
ReplyDeleteThat's so neat :)
ReplyDeleteLove the sketch - such character and talent. You and your sister are luck to have each other to play with.
ReplyDeleteHappy Day Eleanor!
ReplyDelete(just a little Belated)
Fun scetch n emphasis on red lips!
I confess to sin by never wearing any lipstick! (or make-up)
Those are the gifts that count.
