... a Purpose (part II)

Now if someone can come up with a "purpose" for this little treasure...

Pumpkin with a Purpose

Last month, the girls went to a birthday party at the "paint your own" pottery place.

GA picked this pumpkin.

The finished product...

I'm going to re-purpose this "tchotchke" and start a new family tradition!

For Thanksgiving, we are going to "pass the pumpkin" - while each person tells of something that they are thankful for.

Gobble Gobble

In the spirit of Thanksgiving...here's a little painting that GA did when she was in Kindergarten. I popped it into a cheap little frame and drag it out each Thanksgiving for decor.

Commissioned

OK, so I go into GA's (age 8) room the other night to find her hard at work on some drawings. Apparently, CR (age 6) had taken a picture that GA had drawn to school to show her friends and was TAKING ORDERS for portraits!!!

The list of orders...


Two completed projects.

They are taking this project very seriously-consulting with last year's yearbook pictures to maintain the integrity of each drawing. Yesterday, I had a request for business cards.
