Birthday Celebrations x Two...

When you have two wonderful daughters who are born four days apart (be it three years in between), it's hard to keep up with all the cupcakes and birthday cakes over the last 23 years...so now we do both girls together on one big birthday blowout night...Happy Birthday to our doubly wonderous blessing....two terrific daughters!

and we're off and creating again...

The new session of Pint Size Picassos started up this afternoon after school...a huge turnout but a very dedicated group of creative kids...couldn't wait to get messy with their sparkling metallic paints!

Start me up...

Working in the studio tonight, prepping for new sessions of after school art classes. New art...new drawings....new creative experiences....I'm lovin' it!

Remembrance Tiles...

Near ground zero on a fence are hundreds of tiles made by individuals in remembrance of 9/11 victims.
"Of joy departed, not to return, how painful the remembrance."-Robert Blair

Teach Peace...

On this day we remember the events of September 11th in school...all the students made their own personal stars with their wishes for the future of our world...

"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children."-Mohandas Gandhi

Book of Memories....

My good friend, Karen helped me to compile a beauiful book containing all the great artwork we did in "HeART in Hand" art camp this summer. Pages after pages of splashes of striking colors against the jet black backdrop....I love it! Thanks Karen :)
