aaaaaaand i love it. the uber talented melissa works at fastsigns in grand rapids and knew that i wanted to turn my photo of gerty into a canvas. i emailed the photo to her and she whipped up this awesome canvas in no time at all. check out the fastsigns website if you want your own canvas creation. i have a feeling that this canvas cutie is going to be like potato chips: you can't have just one. i'm smelling a gallery wall, ya'll. stay tuned.

and THANKS, melissa!
