Practical application of transitive equality

I was going to write this post for Tuesday (RTT), but it's way late. 3 days late. But whatever. Last time I checked, there were no rules on the internet.

Early last month Cristy had a birthday and I just am about the world's worst at finding the definitive gift. In most cases, I seem to find a little something that I absolutely adore and then think, "wouldn't so-and-so just LOVE this?" So then I purchase it and the gift recipient is left wondering what motivated me to buy this big chunky bracelet that I'm eagerly hoping to borrow when I should have known the recipient is unlikely to ever wear it.

I don't know why this happens. Projection. Lack of coffee. Who knows.

But maybe, just possibly, on this past birthday, I inched slightly closer to that divine place where I selected a gift meaningful to the recipient.

I ordered these two custom stepping stones from K-Dub Designs. They are adorable and made to order to resemble your own dog or cat. The artist behind K-Dub (Karen) is sweet and creative and so easy to work with.

Cristy LOVES mosaics. And she LOVES her two cute dogs. So, by applying the transitive property of equality in mathematical logic, it stands to reason that Cristy would LOVE the mosaic portraits of her two pups.

I think she might. I hope so, anyway.

Here they are.



A full collection will soon follow. After all, we have a house full of 4-legged companions along with the memories of those recently departed. More on that later.

  1. Oh how cool. With all of your thought and care, she will love them. The love put into a gift is what makes it so special! (I say this after sending Husband's Christmas gifts back to the store!!! Ha!)

  2. These are fabulous.She is bound to love them. I love mosaics and stained glass. I so want to learn the art of stain glass. I hear it cuts yours hands terribly, but still I think it would be worth it. Happy Birthday to Cristy!

  4. "the gift recipient is left wondering what motivated me to buy this big chunky bracelet that I'm eagerly hoping to borrow when I should have known the recipient is unlikely to ever wear it."

    HAHAHHAHAHAAHAHA....oh that is so funny! I've done the same thing!

    Ok, I gotta tell ya, Diane....these mosaics ROCK!

    I too love mosaics. Here in Philly we have an area in the city that is nothing but mosaics that have been created by various artists on the sides of buildings. They're simply breathtaking.

    And judging by your "guest comment" SHE LOVED THEM!!!!

    Way to GO, Diane!

  5. P.S. I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for missing your previous posts, but for some reason they did not come up on my google reader. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that your blog is private. I think you have my email address, so when you have the time, could you email me and let me know if I have to do something on my reader so that your posts show up. I DO NOT want to miss them in the future.

    Thanks, Diane!

  6. Hi Ron,
    Yes I've noticed this too, but it is a side-effect of having a private blog. No feeds. There is a workaround though, I created a public blog and have posted links to entries from my other blogs, so if you change your blog reader to the new one, it will show the updates. Then you can click through to get to the private blog.

    I think this will work. I love having you visit, so hope this is not too bothersome.
    :)
