Guess what I got to do...I got to get some arting on....
I started a painting on mothers day, and used a piece of cardboard from a frame I bought as the the paint palette...and I loved the colours together, so I began smudging and scrapping and lightly skimming paint...oh the JOY....and came up with this...
Starlight starbright, first star I see tonight, wish i may, wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight...
A little thing my mum taught me when I was little....
when my babies were very ill I made a wish that they could live so they could grow up and be together....
This celebrates that wish coming true...
Linking this to Eva and Kristins PPF...
until next time
lots of it

Hey Mama!
Thank you for your sweet comment - and please! Leave one anytime - I just realized that it was not a good way to pick ;)
Thanks for everything, xoxo
This is an amazing piece of artwork. Blessings, Janet, PPF
I love the color choices in this piece, it's so fresh and fun. You can feel the laughter in the paint!
Love this artwork - the blues are gorgeous as well as how everything works so well together. Your children look so happy!
Thanks so much for stopping by on splice of life. I dread the testing - especially for the wee ones who are not at level and are made to feel stupid.
Ooh, I really love this! Especially the stamped letters and the "starlight starbright" verse. Just today I was thinking I wanted to make some star-related art for my girls' room, and this verse might be just the thing! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Mama!
Thank you for your sweet comments - both of them - sorry I'm behind ;)
LOVE to you! xoxo
SO happy you love the SOC colors! I actually thought of your ice cream color comment when I picked them ;)
YAY . . .xo
This is adorable. Love the freshness and energy of this journal page.
