an otter......

Yesterday at work I had a VERY nice surprise....you KNOW how I love nice surprises!

I had been asked by the art teacher to come see her in class.
I went in and she handed me this year's financial report for the parish.

It was opened to a pretty picture.....that Curly Girl had drawn!

I was soooooo excited. A picture she had drawn had been selected to be shown in the report...which is a pretty big deal.
I thanked the teacher and told her I couldn't WAIT to see the original and have it framed.
Then said told me there was ANOTHER surprise! She had submitted the picture to an art exhibit being held in the Governor's mansion. The exhibit showcases art from all the schools in the state.

Guess what? (you know already...right?)

Curly Girl's was ACCEPTED!

She told me that you never know when (or if) you'll get the original back so that is why she gave me a copy of the report.

Now we wait to find out WHEN the exhibit is so we can all truck over there...and see it in person.

So...forgive the picture of the picture (taken at night)...but I'm so proud of her.

Congratulations sweetie!

In art class, Curly Girl was to create a mask out of a milk jug.

She created this:




It creeps me out.....but it is EXACTLY how she envisioned it.

Yikes....

Curly Girl on skates

Here is a picture Curly Girl drew of herself. She said she thinks it is what she will look like when she is older......

I think it looks like an illustration. I LOVE IT!

Cartoons

Curly Girl is on a cartoon kick.
One of her friends likes to doodle and makes funny little pictures.
Curly Girl never really got into 'cartooning' before meeting her. She doddled, a lot...but never did cartoons. It is fun to see what her little brain dreams up.

Here are 3 that she did the other day, sorry for the poor lighting.....it was raining outside!

This one is my favorite!



this one she did for a friend...


and this one is just a 'because.'


cute, huh!
