Crafty! - Not me, but the kids...

I've been wanting to do a 'gallery' of the kids' art ever since I saw some storage pictures frames in a catalog, and a couple of weeks ago I saw that Target carried them in their store. Hemming and hawing over the $25 price tag just so I have a frame with a pop-open door & storage in it (seemed like a bit much when I needed four of them), I was at Michaels one day and I picked up some 9x12 black wood frames for $9.99 each! Still not terribly cheap, but acceptable. I wanted 9x12 because that seems to be what all the pads of drawing and painting paper are. So - I threw paper and paint in front of the kids, told them to go to work, and I now have a terrific gallery filling the blank space over my sliding back door! I can admire it all the time, since I never seem to leave the 'great room (hah!)-kitchen' area of the house. Here's a picture of the 'gallery':

Here is Evie's (age 7) lovely flower that she painted a few weeks ago,
my inspiration for this project

Here is William's (age 5) 'boy cutting a sunflower with
scissors in the rain with a volcano in the background'

Here is Sarah's (age 2) purple dragon

and finally, Jason (17 months) -
he loves nothing more than to scribble with the big kids

I am one happy Momma! Thanks Matt, for hanging them all so perfectly :-)
