***If you are new here, I am hosting an online art group where we are working through the 12 -project workshop in Shona Cole's book, The Artistic Mother, together and blogging about our progress and visiting and encouraging one another. The purpose of this group is to learn how to balance our time between family, life's responsibilities and creative time for ourselves; to learn how to fit a little creativity into each day; to nurture our own souls so that we can be better moms and wives and to prevent burnout and depression. Please click here to read all of the details and leave a comment there if you would like to join us. In my sidebar, you will see a blog roll for the participants of this group if you would like to visit around. There is also a Flickr Group for The Artistic Mother if you would like to see the projects we have been doing in this group. The book can be purchased at Barnes & Noble, Borders and other bookstores as well as Amazon. You may also visit the author at her blog, An Artful Life.

ReplyDeleteTerrific, well placed goals:) Lovely banner... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTrudy, that is adorable, I love all her goals and that you are including your kids in your projects. My goodness, that photo of her - she looks like an adult!!! So beautiful.

ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty and her artwork is lovely. So glad she became a member!
ReplyDeletephenomenal is right!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a gifted little girl...:)
Wonderful! I love all the things she included on her banner, especially her love for the Lord! My daughter, who is just about the same age, has wanted to start a blog for some time now. I want her to do so too, as it seems like a great way for her to practice writing, typing, etc., but have been a little slow to get it started as I try and figure out how best to protect her and keep her as safe as possible in the crazy world of the internet. Have you taken any special precautions in this way, or do you have any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I read some of her blog and she writes very well! Good job!
That is Wonderful Trudy! I was telling my 8 year old about your daughters blog last month...maybe she will start one next fall.
ReplyDeleteYour dd is doing awesome/1 My dd has been doing it along with me but I have been slack in this group this month. It is the end of some of our homeschool groups activities so we have been way busy with that.
I can't believe your dd is just 9!! My dd looks several years younger at almost 9.
The picture of her in the tree is one I have taken often of my dd...reading. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how incredibly precious! And what a wonderful banner she has made! So glad she has become a member!
ReplyDeletewelcome! :) it is so wonderful to see your daughter making goals and making art. what a lovely banner! keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insights! She (my daughter) read this post and Emily's blog a few days ago, which renewed her desire to get one up and running herself. Thank you for not only inspiring us artistically, but as parents, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! My book is due to arrive tomorrow and I can't wait. Tomorrow at the library I will be looking over the past posts to see what others have done. I think I will get my artistic almost ten year old daughter involved too.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes, Tonya
