Best present ever!
This is by far the best present I have ever received on my birthday (yes, today is my birthday!). My son Daniel (age 11), carved that Snoopy (my all time favorite character) out of balsa foam, painted it with acrylic paints & a sharpie marker and made him the perfect red house out of cardboard! He surprised me early this morning with it. He had been really sneaky and secretive about what he was making me for my birthday for the past two weeks :) Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...handmade presents are the absolute best.
Thank you Daniel! I love you so much. I LOVE my Snoopy!

Happy Birthday! Your son did a wonderful job on your present. I'd be proud to receive a gift like that!
adorable! handmade gifts are by far the best.
I love it! You have some talented kids there... I've always loved Snoopy -- used to have a giant book with all of the cartoons and would read it for hours as a kid. :o) Have a Happy Birthday!
So adorable! Happy Birthday!
A most wonderful birthday to you!
Soooo sweet. Your so right...nothing is better then handmade gifts, especially from a son! Happy Birthday to you!!!
What a sweat boy you have. I am equally blessed with creative children and thus have all their pieces of art decorated in my kitchen. I love each and every one of them. Happy birthday to you and congratulations for your son. This is a beautiful present.
Happy birthday and enjoy your best present!
what a boy! what a son! super!
and what a gift and what a 'gift'.

Happy birthday! And many happy and creative years to come.
Love the snoopy, adorable present.
I think Daniel knows how to love his mother. :-) Your family chooses to be creative, and it's always inspiring. Happy Birthday Geninne!
Happy Birthday - handmade, heartfelt gifts are always treasured. I hope your day is wonderful.

One day before my daughter's, for whom I bought a print along with the Love Wins for my hubby.
They are beautiful, as is all your work!
Thank you!

What a wonderful gift. Nothing better than Snoopy and handmade love. Happy, happy birthday to you! I have a feeling you're going to have a magical day! (-:
Oh my word! What an adorable gift! So much time and thought. So sweet! And Happy Birthday!!
On another note, I'm off to research balsa foam, never heard of it before. My almost 9 yr old like to try whittling sticks and soap, but it's still a little difficult.
