I Got Inked!


I got INKED, and not by a squid or a ball point pen!
























For over 3 years I have talked about doing this. I had come up with the design. I even paid a deposit...A YEAR AGO!


Friday was the day. I finally got off of my wimpy-stool and did it! The design consists of two dragonflies and two ladybugs, connected by a red thread. The dragonflies represent Lindsay and Chris, and the ladybugs represent The Littles (Olivia & Sophie). As for the red thread, this was taken from the famous Chinese Proverb:
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,regardless of time, place, or circumstance.The thread may stretch or tangle,but it will never break."

It turned out exactly how I had hoped. No, it turned out BETTER than I had hoped!
I LOVE IT!
Mary
