HAVE THIS WISH I WISH TONIGHT
I love telling Maddie about little things I used to do a s kid..
starlight starbright
first star I see tonight
wish I may, wish I might
have this wish I wish tonight
Call me immature, but even now I do this...of course I know it's not true...heeheehee...but sometimes you just have to...
We have been on the elimination diet, go to fedup.com to check it out...very hard, but it has worked wonders for Maddie....no tantrums in 4 days...yay us...its killing me though as I love vegetables....lol...anyhow, enough of that..
I used just watered down acrylics, a fine sharpee pen, and some glitter glue...nice and quick and simple....
I love all your wonderful comments, so thank you...I almost gave up blogging and art this week...I just got to a point where I thought, I barely have enough time to program and plan for the kids schoolwork, let alone spend two minutes on myself...but...I couldn't keep away from the paint...
OK...here she is...
in shade then in sunlight...
I also decided to quickly do a scrapbook page....Maddie a couple of years ago...red is one of my favourite colour to scrap with...
Here is Kristin's prompt...
Thanks to the beautiful Kristin ove at TWINKLE TWINKLE
for hosting the sumerof colour, if you do anything creative you should go on over there and join in the fun.
Until next time
lots of it
Mandy

Oh I remember those days well, raising my 5 children--I didn't have art in my life back then, but I wish I did, because I knew it would have helped me on some of those days. Keep creating--it makes you happy--which will spread to your wonderfully large family!

Mandy...you are SOOOOO talented!! WOW!:) I am always blown away by your work.

Very nice Mandy!! She is so pretty!! I would love to see her in a photobucket edit all different colors!! Wow... glad you gave yourself at least a moment to breathe and create!! Have a nice week!
I am old and immature at times, and always giggled with my daughter and made up silly rhymes when she was little....no better way to stay close to your kids!! You go girl!!

Oh they are both fabulous I too have decided to try and do a couple of scrapbook pages based on the colour scheme but have yet to finish them!
Gorgeous work! I know exclusion diets, had to do one some years back because of skin allergies! Valerie
Loving both your wonderful pieces for Summer of Color, Annette x
Super scrapbook page. BJ
Kids and art don't always make an easy mix, but so glad you got your paints out and made us a lovely page... hang in there I want to see more of your wonderful work...xx
I love your diversity. Having a wonderful craft is always important, as is being a kid again. Lovely colors you chose for the ice cream challenge. I think mine were a bit too lavender.
Lovely work - I love the subtle use of colour in your paintings - very delicate and pretty - and I also think your layouts are fab.
Very pretty Mandy...She looks lovely & the scrapbook page is fab too... Believe it or not even I have such-call it-fancy! Wishing to the first evening star, the first day of cresent moon etc:)))I had heard all that as a teen!
Oh...these are gorgeous Mandy..you did a fantastic job with this weeks colours!! Your painted girl is pretty and i LOVE your LO..
I'm so glad that you didn't give up blogging and art this week...because we wouldn't have seen these lovelies!! i hope you keep creating..you need some 'me' time too!! Hugs! Jan x
Gorgeous LO and painting!. Great job to squeeze some time to paint! HUgs.
Simply superb !
It soundes like you do have your hands very full but you also need that all important 'me time' so I'm glad you found a little of it to paint this lovely picture and do the scrap book page both of which turned out beautifully!
Love it! And great scrapbook page as well. :)
Wonderfully creative and varied art work ~ ~ thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
Oh lovely colours on your girl! And the scrapbook page is fab!
I used to say that with my kids as well! Love your girl and her pouty pink lips! I like your scrapbook pages too!
Both of them are very nice! And I am very glad you didn't give up this week after all! But I do understand the feeling! :) Looking forward to see what you do for this week's! :)

Your portrait is fantastic! That scrapbook layout just sings!!!
Gorgeous portrait & scrapbook page in the colours for the Summer of Colour!!
Love it! So important to take five minutes for yourself. My husband can tell when I haven't had enough creative time and sends me to my art room to get human again :)
wow wow love your painting and the layout...just awesome,
You are one busy Mom but remember to take time for yourself, even for a few minutes. Love your take this week.
These colours are fun, Kristin is doing a bang up job.
