Reflections 2010 - "Beauty is ....."

All the winners


So excited!


This is Katie's second year of entering the Reflections art contest that is held at her school. It is a national organization that is found in many schools which give kids the chance to show their artistic abilities. Katie is never afraid to enter (her mother would be more scared!) and she just takes the ball and runs with it! This year the theme was "Beauty is ..." and she came to me and said that beauty to her is flowers and sunsets. So just just went upstairs and painted just that! She ended up winning second place in the Visual Arts section! We are so proud of her! The first and second place winners will now go on to state and then to nationals!

Congratulations and "way to go" Katie! You've got the right ideas and know how to go about expressing them.

very impressive and I love the painting. I actually discourage my kids from entering the contest...I am one bad mamma.

Hi Kira! I was wasting time surfing around blogs and I stumbled upon one that sounded familiar...YOURS! I can hardly believe how big your children are - and adorable! Of course, you haven't changed a bit - how very unfair! It was so fun to catch a glimpse into your life - and to know you're all happy and doing great! xo, Nan PS: Google only lets me sign in with my Google account, which also happens to be dog's blog...sad, no?
