Arts and Crafts with Marie

Hello craft lovers!

Today I'm going to show you a few things that my 

granddaughter, Marie, has made recently.

One day she was working away on a picture and 

when she was finished she was very excited to give it to

Mommy.  When Sara arrived and Marie gave it to her, she knew

right away that it was their cat that had passed away a couple

years ago.  This is a picture of Poo Poo Kitty and I think

she did a great job.

I bought a few of these wood masks for the

kids to color, Marie, of course, had to do the 

cat.  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of

Asher with his dog mask.

And Marie also colored a jack o lantern.

She is learning little by little how to give expression to

her drawing.  She put the V between the eyes to show that

the jack o lantern was angry and mean.

And there's the artist behind the masks!

One day when I brought Marie home after school, she got 

out of the car and found a stick, a leaf, and a petal from a 

flower.  She picked them up and said "I can make something

with these."  As soon as she finished her homework,

she got started.
She used a piece of card stock and I helped her glue

the stick onto it.  She was making a tree. 

The leaf was a little too big, so she decided to tear a piece

off to make an appropriate sized leaf and then added the

petal for a flower.  She drew more branches onto the

tree and added a few extras on top in the form of 

different shapes.

Our girl was so proud of her work.

And this is where she really takes after G-Ma!

She had a Slurpee and the top was sitting on the counter.

She pulled it over and said

"Hmmm, can't waste any garbage.  I'll just color on this."

She didn't get much coloring done on it, because it was

dinner time.  But she agrees with the saying
"Everything is a craft supply, until proven otherwise"
as said by Pam at the Paper Outpost

I have so much fun with Marie, she is my crafty girl

and has a great imagination and so many ideas.

Asher, our grandson, is 2 and he's starting to love

arts and crafts too.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what's been going on 

with me.  I hope you have enjoyed your visit

and will come again soon.

Until then,

encourage someone to craft.
