Trading Art for Art is a Wonderful Thing

The moment that Hannah posted this hand-drawn art on her social media, I was flooded with feelings.

It is rare that you see a photo of a woman with acne put out in a beautiful light.

During my teen years, I struggled with horrible skin.

No matter what product I tried, nothing soothed my problematic skin.

I felt so ugly and defeated.

It wasn't until I had my daughter that my hormones balanced out and my acne completely cleared up.

So you can see how this photo would speak to me so personally.

This was a blind trade for Hannah and me, she actually told me she wouldn't sell me this original.

After several failed attempts trying to create another version, she decided to gift me the original.

I opened the box and started sobbing.

This is such a precious gift, it is hanging right next to my desk.

This is the woven tapestry that I gifted her;
