day 365 - the victorious final day!

to commemorate my crazy project i decided a tattoo would be a fitting final day.  i was hesitating since if i had someone else do the tattoo, i wouldn't have truly made it myself.  then a friend of a friend said she'd show me how, and i was able to do it myself!  because this journey was so near and dear to my heart :), it is a happy and perfect reminder of what i accomplished, and what i am capable of when i set my mind to an idea.  i hope you've enjoyed the ride, too.
the guidelines

i'm ready!

kristin stretches the skin tight

i'm actually doing it!

it hurts but not too much

getting there....

after letting kristin put the final touches on since my hand is beginning to shake, i have my permanent daily heART!

  11. Ellen, I love your hearts, the twig heart, was a must for me to do for Valentines Day. I saw it on Pinterest, but the source did not go to you.
    I finally found you and wanted to let you know I did give credit and the source on my posting for the twig Valentine I did. Thanks, I love my twig valentine. link to post http://shabbyredoforyou.blogspot.com/2013/02/twig-valentine-heart.html
