Thankful Thursday: Zoolatry Art

Mommy here! 

Earlier this summer we were one of the lucky winners of Zoolatry's Spot the Difference game. The prize was a piece of Ann (& June's) incredible artwork.

Even before we won I knew what I was looking for, but I took some time to fine tune my idea before presenting it to Ann. In no time at all I had the most purrfect, purrsonalized piece of artwork EVER! 

This was the concept - I wanted art that would incorporate Mudpie and Conway. Specifically, I envisioned Mudpie in a '50s diner/ice cream shop surrounded by Conway records/memorabilia, a jukebox, and of course, it had to be pink! 

My heart just about stopped when I received the finished product!!!

I mean, is this not the most purrfect graphic ever for us??? I'm completely obsessed with it. I've already had it printed out in 8x10 size at the drug store, but I think I'm going to go even bigger and get an 11x14 print too. 

During Christmas in July on QVC I purchased this little Christmas house, but now I refer to it as Mudpie's ice cream shop. Don't they look like they go together? I plan to display the house and the framed art side by side in a little vignette, showcasing the inside and outside of the shop.

If he were still with us, Conway would be turning 90 tomorrow. Tragically, we lost him at only 59. He lives on in the hearts of his fans. That's what legends do.

I'm super thankful for our incredible prize!!!

What a fantastic photo that was created for you. I enjoy every little bit of it and we'll have to look at it again closer. You've got a great idea going on with the ice cream Castle in a large poster. 59 is way too young for anybody to pass away, isn't it.

Pawsome artwork featuring your Conway and Mudpie!
I think Mudpie's shop would be successful too ;)
Purrs, Julie
