We Heart Art~ Winners and All!

STOP! You were going to scroll down to the winner list, weren't you? I'm a mom and teacher; I know these things! 
I want to take a minute and THANK you all for participating. When I first was going over this with the incredible Francesca, I was excited and nervous. After all, I am not much of an artist girl who cannot draw a stick person correctly. 
I knew it would be fun though, yet- I had no idea how much I would enjoy looking through the entries. From Kelli's cakes (BTW, Kelli is now considered a rock star in our home. Elijah has elevated her to the status after viewing her Wall E cake. He has talked nothing but of making one ourselves.) Or, the smile on my face after viewing little Bethany's work. 
I noticed something...
I smiled all day. Through reading your posts
..I smiled
While changing Asher's diaper?
..I hummed Jen's tune
While happily! joyfully! making dinner?
..I though of all the pics you entered of your little ones artwork. Sienna? You will be an amazing singer someday! 

Art can do that to us, can't it? It made me smile to look at the pictures your little ones drew, the songs they sang, their interpretive dances. I imagined you, sitting on the the other side of  your computer, doing the same thing. 
Thank you for sharing a smile, giggle, idea and a little joy with all of us. 
Now...boys and girls...sorry, flipped back into classroom mode for a minute there. 
The Winners Are: 
At the end of the week, there can only be a handful of winners. The lucky bloggers include:

B from Simply B, Simply Me who shared a birth announcement that she created.


Jennifer from The Toy Box Years who entitled this photo, "Friends Forever."


The Snails Trail who inspired us with her ability to make art with her kids using a roll of toliet paper.


Mrs. Bear from Outnumbered Two to One who handed over her digital camera to her 10 year old.


Confessions of a Semi-Slacker Mom who discovered her daughter's artwork on the wall.


Hillbilly Duhn's Times and Tribulations who took her entry to the next level and shared a photo of the artwork on her 12 x 24 footceiling.


Denene from My Brown Baby who shared her daughters' self portraits.

And, Amanda from Proud Mommy of Four, who filmed darling videos of her two girls.

We hope that you'll take a moment to stop by these blogs and congratulate our winners! Winners? If you haven't heard from us, can you pop me an email? I am outside most of the day for Track and Field, but will get back to you a.s.a.p!

Love your blog! You are so funny and creative!!!

Kelli said...

Thanks for the shout out. Last night, I was thinking, you have to buy Elijah some fondant (@ Michaels or Walmart). It's just like play do or clay, but he can eat it if he wants (OK, he could eat the play do, but this would taste better) and then it hardens and he can put it on a cake or cupcakes! I really think he would enjoy it. He can make it any color (or you can buy the sets of pre-colored).
I see a mini-Duff on your hands.
