Don't you hate it when you find the perfect gift for someone in your life, and you just can't afford it? That happened to me today. I was looking through the newest listings in the art section of Etsy.com and came across the cutest canvas of a cartoon black lab, sitting patiently waiting to eat his cupcake. My brother and his wife have a black lab, so I immediately thought of them and their 85 pound pup who thinks he is the size of a yorkie. 
I liked this particular piece so much that I decided to see what else this artist had in his Etsy shop. Imagine my delight when I noticed that the seller had several pieces about Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. I was delighted because my brother is a huge Cubs fan and his dog is named Wrigley! (Wrigley Field when he's in trouble.) I thought it would be so cute if I could get the "Black Dog Cupcake Company" canvas and one of the "Wrigley Field" canvases as a complete gift set! Unfortunately, both canvases would come to $120...a little out of budget for my typical gift giving. 
I would also love to get all three of the Wrigley Field canvases as a set...and the black lab canvas as a stand alone...but then that's even more expensive, so that doesn't really solve my problem. Oh well...brother, this just lets you know that I've been thinkin' about you and Wrigs!
Cubs and cupcake canvases,
You can just fall back on that old saying "It's the thought that counts"
