a bit of showing off

Filed under: made gifts — admin at 10:26 pm on Tuesday, June 20, 2006

I really hesitate to brag, but I had to share what my kids created for their aunt. They very thoughtfully and carefully painted her portraits and I think they did a remarkable job.

The dog painting is of “Lucy”, my sister’s beloved dog. She became a bit agitated during the process, but she pulled through and successfully captured her “essence”.

And Si figured a blue bird with a meteor was a great way to celebrate his aunt’s day. He did a superb job too!

Finally, check out this cool film my husband made. I really am so fortunate to be living with such fun people!

I love the movie! It’s so great to be able to see your kids in action and watch them growing up. They’re darling.

Their art is amazing (talented kids!) and the MOVIE. My 3 year old had to watch it several times. Just mesmerized. My hubbie is mac/media hobbiest…so I made him watch as well. Very impressive!

I loved my Shackelford family presents – the paintings, my stitching & movie were the absolute highlights! Certainly worth turning 40 for! I better get started on yours Carol – when are you 40?
Love,
Kimberly
