it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "April Showers" so think rain, rubber boots, umbrellas etc. etc. etc.
This is what I did.....
I used an image from Milk N Coffee and did some colouring on kraft. And hey look, no patterned paper!
I've got all my kids trained to make some sort of comment on my cards when I show them to them....at the very least they are expected to feign some sort of interest. This is what happened when I showed this card to my middlest....
Him: *walking closer* Oh. Miss You. That's cool. *pause* But I think it should say "Missed You".
Me: Hm, well....you kinda want to let the person know....
Him: *breaking in* No, Mom, "Mist You". Like mist. Coz of the rain on the card. "Mist You".
Me: *heart swelling up with pride*
Me: *struggling to speak around the lump in my throat*
Me: *eyes welling up with tears of joy while my mind screams, "Oh, you've done it! You've imparted all your wisdom to this beautiful child of yours. You can send him out in the world now, secure in the knowledge that all is good and right and there's really nothing left to teach him. Your work here is done."
I do believe at that point I got a hold of my emotions and praised his cleverness before he wandered off.
But hey, before you wander off, why don't you join us and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
