Happy Mother’s Day!

Drawing by J.G. age 9, watercolor crayons on 140lb. cotton rag paper

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Sometimes the best art works are the drawings/painting/sculptures made by children. I have stacks and stacks of my daughter’s work, including the drawing above, that I’ll treasure and keep forever.
Have a good week everyone!

Oh ya, I almost forgot, I was tagged by Lynette Clay and Dinahmow, with the same meme, so if you don’t mind, I hope my answers will satisfy both tags. I’m not sure if I can come up with 7 things about me that you might not know…but I’ll try.
  1. I just completed substitute teacher orientation with Denver Public Schools on Thursday.
  2. I’m a little nervous to complete my first sub assignment. I signed up to sub for all of the elementary schools in a 2 mile radius from my home and for art sub jobs k-12 district wide.
  3. Despite being able to sleep till noon when I was younger, I can no longer sleep past 6:30am on any given day.
  4. My favorite adult beverage is a frozen margarita, salt please and my fave non-alcoholic drink is coffee with milk, no sugar.
  5. I’m married to my high school sweet-heart, it’s both a good thing and a scary one – he would agree with me on that point.
  6. We have talked about adopting some kids in the past since we only have one child and there are soo many kids out there that need a good home.
  7. Finally, I have a secret that I can’t tell anyone – including you!

Since this meme has hit just about everyone whose blogs I visit, I won’t be tagging you, however, if you feel left out, consider yourself tagged!

  • Thanks for playing,Cynthia.And, yes, this meme was spread pretty thin!
    By the way, I think your daughter must be influenced by you – that drawing looks very much like a CMG! It’s beautiful.

  • Happy Mother’s Day, Cynthia! Your daughter has certainly inherited artistic genes from you!
    I love your list, esp the last one – you only have “a secret” not to tell? :)

    Happy Mother’s Day. Hope you had a great day with your family. Loved seeing your daughters work… takes after her mother I’d say.

    Hehehe Dinah…she did this when I was doing my watercolor sketches awhile ago.

    Welcome back, Blurr- I’ve missed you!

    I have a lot of secrets Fennymun! My daughter is pretty creative. You should see the Harry Potter clay figures in my studio that she sculpted one day. They still need to be glazed though.

    Thank you Nancy!
