Rose

Kaela doodled a rose on the back of her homework awhile back.....when she cleaned out her backpack for the summer, she showed it to me.

Even with all the crinkles, I just love it.

sometimes the simplest things are the loveliest......

Darlin' Dalmations....

Curly Girl drew a couple dalmations.....both totally different from one another...


This one she did last night...she was thinking of the more stylized dalmations from the Disney movie 101 Dalmations.....

Meranimals

Curly Girl made some 'Meranimals' the other day.
I love to see some of the creatures she comes up! She has such a vivid imagination.
She was so proud of these she took them to show her after school art teacher.
Her teacher (Miss Margie) said 'these are the types of things judges like to see in competition because they are so original.'
You should have SEEN the smile on Curly Girl's face. It lit up the entire room and she was STILL smiling when I picked her up!
She hasn't entered any competitions yet, but maybe that compliment will give her the push she needed!

Another Doodle........

Curly Girl created another fantasy creature...........this one is a 'zebra, tiger and dragonfly'.........

Her name is Lily and the creature is called a "Zegerfly."

Tragon........

Curly Girl was doodling yesterday when I picked her up from school. As I drove up, I could see her slide something away. She likes to surprise me when she gets in the car.

She presented it to me with a flourish........but cracked me up because when I asked what it was she said 'I don't know....' Basically, it is a tortoise, unicorn and dragon fantasy creature.

She later dubbed it a "Tragon." So there you go!

'Blogworthy' Doodles.......

The last several weeks, we have had a lot of company...both from out of town and from local friends having sleepovers.
So I wasn't surprised the other day when Curly Girl announced she was needing some 'down time.' She sometimes just needs to play by herself, be alone and decompress.

When she was very young she would say, "No mommy, I play by self." It was her way of saying that she wanted to be A L O N E.

That being said, she spent 2-3 days without friends, just building with her legos, singing to herself, loving on the pets..especially Leo, cutting and doodling. She also did quite a bit of snuggling with me :-)

Here are 3 little doodles she did and then brought them to me for her blog. She always asks....'are these blogworthy?'

These 2 are more of her "Fire and Water" dragons.....even without color, you can already see more detailing in this pair than in the ones she did in March.


And here is a Sad faced little puppy....


So cute!
