CAEL

July 12th...

I finally got this thing up on the wall! I had been wanting to wait and get it framed first, but I don't know when that is ever going to happen so I figured I might as well hang it up anyway! I ordered this sign from Hawaii last year when my mom, cousin and friend had the most amazing spur-of-the-moment, I-have-no-idea-how-this-is-happening vacation ever! I believe the artist was in the gift shop of an aquarium selling these paintings and I thought they looked so cool. The one he had on display was for a girl's name and was very pink. Flamingos, flowers...very girly. I asked him what the boy's signs were like and he said "Oh, very boyish! I use things like sharks and volcanoes, it all looks really neat" Awesome! Sharks and volcanoes, I told him I loved that idea and wanted to order one and he made a note (he made a NOTE!) on his paper. Cael - Boy - Volcano. A few weeks later and I get this in the mail...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it! I think it's so cool, and the art work is fantastic, but really? what was the point of writing volcano down on his paper if he was going to give me a parrot instead?

Silly Hawaiian painter man. At least he spelled it right!
