The Macie Way

The Macie Way captures the essence of a remarkable girl whose passions were an integral part of who she was. Macie's love for cheerleading ignited a fire within her. She trained tirelessly, driven by an unwavering dedication to her team. As a fierce competitor with a contagious smile, she inspired her teammates with her enthusiasm and hard work. Beyond the gymnasium, Macie cherished her relationships with others above all else. With her infectious spirit and beautiful smile, she created a circle of love around her, making everyone feel included and valued. The Macie Way reminds us to embrace life with passion; extend kindness to all, and to never surrender our dreams. It is a testament to the transformative power of one life to touch countless others. It is a reminder to live each day with purpose, to make a difference in the world, and to carry Macie's bright light and legacy in our hearts.

Northern Lights Cheer

This puzzle is a tribute to my sweet angel Macie, who loved the beauty of the northern lights and dreamed of seeing them one day. She was also a passionate cheerleader, practicing her moves wherever she went. This puzzle combines two of her greatest passions. It's more than a puzzle, it's a reminder that even though my daughter is gone, her spirit lives on in the things that she loved. Every time I look at it, I think of her and her infectious enthusiasm for life. 

Bioluminescent Beauties

The Ocean is where I can still feel Macie's presence. If there was one place she absolutely loved, the ocean was it. For her last birthday, she wanted an under the sea themed party, we got every sea themed decoration we could find. Turned out her favorite thing of the day was the jellyfish hanging paper lanterns. She loved them so much that we hung them in her room after. Her passions and love for things always inspired and rubbed off on others!

Mystical Predator

Macie loved anything that seemed super unique. One day she brought home a Venus Fly Trap from school. She thought it was the neatest thing ever. She was mesmerized by the beauty and cleverness of a simple plant. She watered and fed that plant as long as she could

Oh how much Macie loved Geodes!!! She had started a beautiful little collection of her favorite geodes and rocks, in this puzzle I wanted to combine 2 things she loved so much, geodes and the beauty of our majestic galaxy.

Sweet Dreams

In Macie’s sweet dreams, the cotton candy was always fluffy, the donuts were always fresh and sprinkled, the s’mores were always gooey, and the ice cream was always creamy! This colorful puzzle is a tribute to her vibrant personality, her joy of life, and her love of making memories with friends and family through bonding over sweet treats.

Mocha The Persian Kitten

Macie always dreamed of having a Persian kitten. She picked the name Mocha for her future kitten, and called her by name. But due to allergies, we had to tell Macie we couldn't get a kitten.. That didn't stop Macie from dreaming, though. She started brainstorming ways to earn money to buy Mocha herself. Macie was such a determined little girl. She put her heart and soul into everything she did. This image portrays how I envision her kitten Mocha would have looked

Fierce King

During the Covid lockdowns, Macie and I spent countless hours painting by numbers together. One of our favorite projects was of a fierce lion. Macie was fascinated by their strength, power, and beauty. This puzzle is a testament to her passion for these incredible creatures. It is a reflection of Macie's vibrant spirit, a symbol of her strength, creativity, and love for the wild. May it remind you of the power and beauty that lies within each of us.

Pretty In Pink

Flamingos were a signature thing for Macie, she had them on swimsuits, dresses, towels, posters, etc. She wanted to learn all about flamingos, so she would sit and watch documentaries on flamingos, she taught herself everything there was to know about flamingos. This is THE MACIE WAY, if she loved something, she would set her mind to be proficient in it.

My Axolotl Sprinkles

I cannot see an axolotl without thinking of my sweet baby girl! She wanted a pet Axolotl so bad, she did all the research on her own on how to properly care for one. She got her very own Axolotl for Christmas in 2021, she named her Sprinkles. I still take good care of Sprinkles for Macie.

Wait for Me

While walking on a secluded path, and missing Macie, my grief took over all my emotions.  In Macie style, a beautiful butterfly flew to my side to lift me up and accompany my journey.  This image is my best attempt at portraying the magical moment of feeling her presence.
