Hopscotch Designs

My 9 year old daughter Gracie is a girl of many talents… or maybe just interests….  She loves horseback riding, painting - really art of any kind, soccer, reading, dancing, making up songs …. the list goes on and on.  A few of these interests she does seem to have a talent for.  One of those is art.  When she grows up she wants to be an artist and art teacher who rides horses on the weekends.  So, this summer she asked if she could teach some art classes for her friends… she thinks one a week would be good… hmmmmm… I think one period…. we settle on two and invite 20 of her closest friends. 

We just had the second class and it turned out great!  Birdhouse painting 101 was a huge success.  You should gather all your kids and their friends and go for it.  Seriously, Michaels has these adorable little wooden birdhouses for $1 each!  Look how cute they turned out!

In fact I tried to keep them all… but the kids wanted to take home their works of art.  So, I’m off to Michaels to buy a couple dozen more so my back fence can always look this cute!
