BRACES, MY NEW ART AND KIDS ART

Renee's had her top braces for about 5 months now and today she got the bottom ones. I love them on her, she's so adorable. She's talking funny and in pain. I bought her a frosty and some applesauce for dinner. She picked out purple bands to go with her dress this Friday!! Now her big sister can see how cute she looks, HELLO KRISTIN!!
This is a new favorite of mine, love love the colors and the how the watercolors came out on this. Can't wait to do this again. So glad to be using my pictures and art journaling with them. This is all 4 of my kids hanging out and just being them. Even Lucky is in the picture. So many stories just from looking at this. I picked out the word stickers that really sum up what I was feeling.
I have mixed feelings on this page. At first there was too much red then too much black. I knew it was going to be a LOVE page and didn't want to give up on it. So it's not my favorite but yet everytime I look at it makes me happy just seeing all their faces and cuddled on the couch together. We needed this time together and loved it every minute of it. It still tells the story of how much I love them.
did another page in my art journal. I've had this picture for a month and really like the fresh clean look of it. This page is a great reminder of what I'm doing for myself. It feels good to take care of myself and be healthy.
I love this picture of my girls creating art with me. we had the best time on Sat. spent a couple hours here just getting messy and laughing and GIRL TIME!! Look at that big mess we made and had to clean up in time for dinner. The other best part was that they stayed off their cell phones the whole time and really enjoyed what they were doing. When they were younger we always did this, they loved it but now that they are older it's rare to find them creating something with me.
this is a sweet one form my Summer girl, she loves happy pictures and birds/trees like her daddy. I like the way she did the tree too, want to do this too. she loves college rule paper only and hates if i forget and get her wide ruled instead, so funny she is.
Oh man, sorry this is flipped the wrong way. This is from my daughter Summer, she has discovered she loves drawing for almost 2 years now. It was a hidden talent all those years. Some nights before bed she will draw 20 pages filled with cute pictures of everything. Of course that means keeping a HUGE supply of journals for her to use. This one is so cute and fun.
My niece was over when we were crafting so she joined the fun too. She has a love for drawing too and is very slow and takes her time to get JUST RIGHT!! She is so cute, hoping to do more of this with her. See that flower and how she made it 3 colors she already knows that if it was just one it would be too boring nope she told me it needed all these colors.
My daughter Renee did these, I love them both. She's always liked being creative and draws a lot of fashion ideas and has already planned her wedding dress.
