I think most of you will guess yes it is for Ethan to give to someone ...
this boy loves to craft and of course you know his mom loves it to...
in Ethan's room Mom and dad did a part of a wall with a chalk board
that is why I did a black paper with his heart on it...
Now credit due ...Samantha painted the little guy...
most of the paper used is Micheal's Recollections
The little metal hearts are Memories made.

Now below are some of Ethan creations...
this one above was made at a play group Sam has him in ..

He loves his time creating and with his mom...
