Vacation Time!!!!!!

Sorry, I do not have a challenge to post this week. Going back home to Pittsburgh PA to see family. It's been along time.

See you all next week

Grandaughter's Art Work

I just love when my Grandaughter Savannah has a sleep over at our house. She always wants to play in my stamp room and is always wanting to learn new things. I have been letting her color with my Copic markers and Savannah is starting to get pretty good with them. She also likes to use the prismacolor pencils which I think are her favorite.

So .......... Savannah colored the little girl with Copic markers and then she designed a scene to put her into. I just love the hanging tire swing. You can't tell in the picture, but she popped up the little girl for her to look 3-D.

Great Job Savannah, Grandma loves you.
