Phew!

Okay, you can ignore that last post. A promise to bring out the glitter is so powerful - maybe I can get Emma to clean her bedroom too. Well, I'll just be thankful that this little artist of mine fell for it and got down to work. These are her cards. She even signed the back of each one. We included a "business card" with each art card, that alerts the owner to a special future post all about the artist. I plan to put together a bunch of her artwork and post it here, partly for fun, and partly for the sake of having it somewhere safe. You know, just in case I lose the big, enormous box of art one day. Anyhow, she worked on watercolor paper, with watercolor paints, glitter glue, and silver glitter. Her little sister made a few of her own, including one that might be my favorite of hers so far. I will share that one soon.

swap...

A few weeks ago, a swap for kids came up and it was just Emma's style. I asked her if she would like to participate (after explaining how it works) and she gave an enthusiastic Yes!. Since then, she has shown some reluctance to complete the work that she has agreed to - it might have to do with the size of the paper, or something. I don't know. But, I am determined to make this work. Somehow. After school today, we will gather some supplies and get to work on our art. I know she is going to be thrilled when art starts appearing in our mailbox... I would be so sad to let our partner kiddos down. It seems like people are already getting their art from some of the participants... and we only have a day left to get it into the mail. Maybe some sparkly stuff will help my cause...
Wish us luck! Emma is going to have a first lesson in finishing what she starts...or starting what she promised...or something.
I know that artists can be difficult at times, but...

Recipe Swap - I need that!

Hmmm - I only have one truly wonderful recipe so I already know what I will be sharing tomorrow. In the meantime, I will be back here soon (very soon) with my one-a-day #4 image.
