Emily's Rock Garden

10/14/2026

As many of you know, I’ve had to retire from painting rocks due to my health, but I will forever cherish the memories, friendships, and families I’ve been blessed to meet and help along the way. ❤️

A couple of years ago, the beautiful staff at the DreamMore Hotel in Pigeon Forge helped me pick out a special blanket for Emily as a graduation gift. As a thank-you to the amazing staff at Dolly Parton’s hotel, I painted a “Guitar of Many Colors” and butterflies named Dolly Rose. 🦋🎸

This week, while back in Pigeon Forge, I had the opportunity to walk around the hotel and hand out the butterfly rocks to the wonderful staff. It was such a special moment, and it felt like the perfect way to bring Emily’s rock garden to an end. ❤️

Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness leave the biggest marks on our hearts. I may no longer be able to paint rocks like I once did, but the love, connections, and memories will always remain.

To all the beautiful people I’ve met through this journey, thank you for being part of it. I love all of you more than you know, and I’m forever grateful for the kindness you’ve shown me and my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️🦋🎨

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. As I’m going through items in my craft room I have few rocks left . I will take pictures and put them on here. I’m having a garage sale tomorrow in Simpsonville at 416 Leigh Creek and I’ll have the Rocks that I have left for sale there. I do miss seeing everyone , I can’t thank everyone enough for the support you’ve given Emily‘s rock garden through the years. I do care for all of you. Sending love to everyone.❤️
