Looks great, and I see that you have used other elements of Missouri besides there best "known for" animal. I know many mule lovers that would love it.

Real Cute!

I love the story--you might just put a crack in his heart and let some love in--you never know where people come from and where they've been!!!

THat is a beautiful wall hanging and such a touching story. You can never judge a book, by it's cover. :) So glad you got to know him.

I got a super nice pm from Mulema and she had nothing but kind and favorable comments about the wall-hanging.

Great job!

So nice. And I bet he was very gratful for what you did for him.
He will always remember your thoughtfulness. What a great present.

I'm really impressed that you realized your first opinion of this man was wrong, and now you've made a friend for life. He probably doesn't get a lot of expressions of friendship like this, or acknowledgment of his hard work. Good for you!

That is awesome. My fav is the brown profile and one one kicking. True likeness! My husband raises (collects) mules--I might have to do something fun like this for him.

A true gift from the heart... great layout.
