My birthday present for my sister...

13 years ago

I am afraid this may not show why I am so excited by this. My sister has many physical problems including very poor vision. Her dog Lilly is very dear to her. I stumbled upon an Amazon local ad and had this snapshot of the two of them turned into a large, canvas picture for $35. I know she will love it.

Thanks all. I'm really excited. I've been wanting to do something like this for years, but it's only recently that work has let me stay local long enough to make even a brief commitment. And thanks for the birthday wishes - but you all sent them weeks ago on my actual birthday! ;) p.s. Annie - I immediately thought of you when I read the sentence "Most importantly, youÂll gain the experience you need to cook with confidence and pleasure---without relying strictly on recipes." LOL!

Have you tried it? Wondering if it would not let enough steam out and your "stuff" would steam....and you will be back to the cheapies. I bought a "wonderful thing"....at the thrift store! LOL! My antique round cast iron griddle broke and I have not found another.....I know Lodge....but they are not like my old one...sob! Well I found a very heavy stainless square flat, very shiny griddle...flat top...whatever! About 12 inches square. I am in love! Perfect for 4 small pancakes...or one pretty big one,2 grilled cheese sandwiches and warming a tortilla. Amazing the things that make us happy!

What a great idea.

I'm sure that she'll love it ... and it's big enough that she'll be able to see it more easily, I assume.

Wish her "Happy Birthday" from your friends here, from all over the country - and beyond - as well, would you, please?

Wonderful gift for your special "sister" from her "special" sister. The day you give her this gift will be a most memorable day in both your lives.. I truly see why you are so excited!!! Wish her a very Happy Birthday from me, too. This gift brings tears to my eyes. Such a thoughtful thing to do for someone special to you..

It's perfect, Pam. She will be so excited, but not as excited as you, I imagine. That's such a thoughtful gift. And not a bad price, either!!

Now, that is what I call a perfect gift! Very unusual and definitely a one-of-a-kind.

Would it be possible for you to get a pic of her when you give it to her?

Her birthday is Friday the 15th. I will try to take a picture. Thank you for your comments.

Would it be appropriate or possible to have someone else there to take the picture, to get the look on her face when she realizes what it is, as you'll be busy with the giving?
