I just found THE BEST gift for my mom's birthday.
Her two dogs (a chihuahua and a maltese/bichon frese mix) are her pride and joy.
Well I am only getting them HANDPAINTED onto a leather wallet for her!
I am so awesome:lol: . I can't wait to see how it turns out. This is the pic we're basing it off of. The artist does a lot of really good work so I'm excited:-D

Will do. She's gonna start painting now and then send out a picture of the result before she sends it to my mom so I will share that with you definitely!
She does cats too and her prices are reasonable. I wonder if she could fit four ferrets and three cats onto a wallet for me? I want one for myself now!!!:lol:
