Bryan's latest creations

These are 2 of Bryan's latest works of art. They were custom ordered by some clients from Kenora that happen to be great friends! They gave us the pictures and Bryan worked them onto the seats. Once they arrived in the client's hands, they were thrilled with them! Thanks guys for your business! So if any of you are interested in these or any other woodburned item, please let us know. We design more than just the toilet seats. We can woodburn on a barnboard frame, we can make stall or driveway signs, and likely just about anything you can think of. We would be happy to design what we can for you! Drop us a comment with your information or drop us an e-mail and we can get pricing and any other information that you require to you as soon as possible!



Our special sweeties!

These photos were taken at Christmas time this year! These are our 2 special little nieces! Miss M & Miss E! We don't get to see them very often but we sure love them! It is always a special treat to be able to play with them and hold them! They live in Edmonton, so its not too often that we get to see them! I just love the pictures of Bryan with the girls! I know he will be an amazing Daddy to our children someday! These photos are very, very, candid shots! Not the best I have shot, but I hope you like 'em anyway!

Miss E lovin her Uncle Bryan! (or UB as he thinks he should be called. LOL!)

Me & Miss E!

Little Miss M!
E!

UB & Miss E, again! Looks like its almost nap time!

Both little Misses and their dolls that we gave them for Christmas! Miss M had a rough nite the night before, so she's pretty wiped out, poor girl! But thankful they posed for the picture anyway!

This is my sister in law Dena and her little wanna be cowgirl! Thankfully she has an awesome Auntie & Uncle that can supply the horse!

Us & Miss M.

My Christmas tree

As I promised earlier, finally a picture of my lovely Christmas tree! This picture just does not do it justice! I just hate that ugly couch that unfortunately has to stick out but this is the only place that the tree can go nicely in this house! My theme was burgundy, gold, and creme! My most favorite theme! I hope you can get the jist of what it looked like anyway! There are also a couple pics of some of the decorations as well!




White Christmas 2009

I know, I know! Its a little backwards! My last post stated "Welcome 2010" and here I am back in 2009. I didn't manage to get these pictures together until now!
We most certainly had a white, white christmas! This is what we woke up to on boxing day! Christmas day was spent at my sister and brother in law's place. We left in a snowstorm that got progressively worse throughout the day and came home in a bad snowstorm that had dumped a TON of snow! On boxing day morning the picture below is what we woke up too! YIKES! Bryan had to push as hard as he could just to get the door open! We then went outside and observed the massive amount of snow that was left to us to clean up!

This is Bryan standing on the nice 3.5-4ft snowbank that our lovely town left when the grader went by. We know they can't help it, but STILL! It was so much to clean up. Bryan had to shovel a path just wide enough for us to fit through with the truck to see if we could borrow his Dad's snowblower. Unfortunately when we got there he told us the belt had broken and there was nothing open to replace it with. Thankfully his yard was all cleaned. BUT blessing of blessings, Bryan's Dad and oldest brother came to help us clear our driveway out! We really appreciated that!

The snowbank beside the house was almost as high as our car. As you can see, the large bank went quite a distance! But at least it felt even more Christmasy with this lovely, white snow! It was a perfect day to snuggle on the couch and watch movies with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate!
We sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Welcome 2010

Well, Christmas has come and gone. We are into the New Year. I have yet to post some pictures of Christmas on here. I just need to have some time to do so! Christmas was very busy with gatherings here and there, and hardly a free day to ourselves. Bryan's brother and his family came out from Edmonton and that was really nice. We got to see them and play with our nieces! What a treat that is! They are so precious! We had other great news as well. Bryan's youngest brother got engaged to a SUPER gal! She is an awesome person and a fantastic addition to our family. Looking forward to their wedding in August sometime. This will make the Gerbrandt clan complete! Everyone will be married!

I always love the thought Bryan puts into the gifts he gets for me. He always feels like he sucks at shopping but he doesn't! I love the gifts he gives me! Not just the material gifts, but his love and support! I love it when he holds me with his strong arms and I love how I feel in those arms! I think that is how we are supposed to feel in God's arms. That is something that I am really trying to put into focus at this time. For any of you that read this and wish to pray for me/us, is this. That we would feel God's love for us, His protection, His guidance, His blessing, and His forgiveness! You can also pray that we could completely forgive and let go. That we would grow closer to one another each and every day. This is something I am praying for fervently!!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and we look forward to sharing more of our works of art with you in 2010. For any of you wishing to book photo appointments or place orders for prints, woodburned items, or frames, please let us know. Especially for summer as we tend to have to plan things well in advance!

God bless you and have a great 2010!
