We need to go grocery shopping...(yes, I said "We" not "I"... I don't do the shopping alone, ever... JJ does it almost all of the time. I love that.). So for lunch today we opted for quick and fast: we each got a Beefy Burrito from Taco Bell, for a grand total of $2 (the kiddos got oatmeal... a standard backup for when we have no food :) ). But... bonus... we got more than we paid for. In addition to our beefy burritos, we received 31 packets of sauce. 31 PACKETS OF SAUCE!!!! It was a memorable moment.
Secondly, I wanted to show you my new idea....
Alice had a birthday and she needs to write some thank you notes. So being the person that I am, I couldn't just have her write on a generic note card! Instead, I took one of her precious little animal drawings and converted it into a bitmap image for my illustration program.... Voila! an adorable personalized card to send to family! I think this might become an Etsy item... send me your kiddo's drawing and I'll make it into personalized stationery... definitely worth letting brew in the creative chambers of my mind :) Alice loved them... by the way... She loved seeing her artwork come to life on a stack of note cards. So fun!
Blessings to you all,
I love the idea of using Alice's artwork on a Thank you card!
ReplyDeleteWow, she is a great artist! Not surprising, considering she is your daughter. :-)
ReplyDeleteMadeline really wishes she could draw well, but gets frustrated that her drawings don't turn out the way she hopes they would. I can relate, because I have little to no drawing ability!
Did you teach Alice very much of the "how" to draw, or did that just come to her naturally?
