I'm Backkkk!

Hi my friends welcome back! I am thrilled to be back and I am sorry that it took me awhile to come back, but I sure hope that you are happy with the end result! Well as you can see I gave my blog a facelift and as I said before I studied some of my favorite blogs so I pray I have made some nice improvements that you will enjoy, and you come back to visit and leave me love often.
This is what I have to share with you today!   I designed this beautiful crest for my husband and my angels. Every symbol has a story and I wish to share those stories with you~ This is the best picture I was able to take of our "new" family crest" as it is hanging now in our entry way.  In the back ground is a big brown T monogram  for our last name~

The knight head is from my husbands original family crest I love the cross on the helmet it is a sign of protection,  the red and yellow decorative swirls were also part of the original crest ~

The rampant lions are from my mother in laws crest and they are also the symbol for my angels, I added the crowns on each lion. Since the angels were in the womb I have always called them Prince A and Prince B, so adding the crowns were the perfect touch~

 I was not able to get a very good shot of the lion on the left, but it is just as detailed as the one on the right. The crown was painted red~

The swan is from my mom's family crest and it is the true symbol of her maiden name, the back fluer's are also from my mom's crest.  I LOVE swans they are so regal & elegant~

The red waves are from my father's family crest (my maiden name) and I think it is so fitting that the swan is swimming on these waves.  These waves are also the true symbol of my maiden name~
We hung the "new crest" in our entry one some curtain rods I bought for $9.99 and I sewed leather tabs to hang it from.  I wanted the crest to have a old world/antique look therefore the brownish look in the background~
