Last week I knew I was going to see some long-time friends that I hadn’t seen in many years. I wanted to bring them something special that they would really appreciate. So, I asked my daughter if she would make some of her hand-lettering art pieces for me to give to them.

She used watercolor background on some,
and a little touch of gold shimmer on each of them…

I asked my friends beforehand what their favorite Scripture was
and also what color they liked…

She did such a beautiful job on each one, didn’t she?!
I found a special frame for each one and that made them even more beautiful.
If you could’ve seen their faces when they unwrapped them! One of my friends, who recently lost every thing she owned in the Texas floods, had tears in her eyes. She couldn’t speak for a few minutes, and just held the frame close against her.
My daughter wasn’t sure if her hand lettering pieces were good enough… I assured her they were. If you’d like to see more of her work, you can visit her on Instagram, at @analuisadesigns

Have a blessed weekend!

Wow, these are such treasures! What beautiful gifts indeed! Your daughter is a blessing!
Thanks, Debbie! It was great to see that it meant a lot to my friends!
Beautiful, your daughter is very talented! What a thoughtful and meaningful gift. 😊
Thank you! Sometimes we don’t know the gifts God has given us until someone other than our Mom says so, haha. Maybe my daughter will be encouraged when she reads these comments you all are taking the time to write!
How beautiful they are! My favorite is the one from Romans, but that might be because it’s one of my favorite scriptures. What gifts!
Yes, that’s the friend who has literally lost every material thing she & her family possessed – including her & her husband’s cars! She just smiled and hugged the framed verse to herself…couldn’t speak because she was on the verge of weeping. The thing she was most sad about losing was all the photo albums (they have three boys) filled with family memories way before cell phones and digital photo programs. She trusts in the Lord, though, so I know she is leaning on Him for comfort, strength, and wisdom.
I wish there was a “love” button. These are beautiful.
Oh, Lillian, that is so sweet! I love your comment! Thank you! I’ll pass all these wonderful comments to my daughter!
Your daughter’s work is wonderful!
Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to sharing all these kind comments with her that she might be encouraged!
So glad you blogged these Daisy– they really are beautiful. Your daughter has such a gift. Do you have one hanging on the wall at your house?? And how’s your week going?? We jumped into VBS today– really love it. hugs hugs!
These are beautiful gifts! This is one of the reasons why I love hand lettering so much.
