Iz’s World: “I miss Miss Tessier and the kids in my class.” (2010)
This week, I do believe that Iz and I have more than developed an appreciation for art. In fact, I think she was eager to head off to the after-school program this afternoon with her Nintendo DS. It was apparent that it was now time for Mario Brothers instead of Monet! Anyway, I don’t remember an activity where we both had so much fun.
When thinking back on my childhood today, I always remember this time one Summer when I was on a beach in Maine with my Mom helping her put together this wonderful Egyptian woman out of sand which we then decorated with shells and beach glass. Out of all the things I did with my Mom when I was young, I remember that time most vividly. And, I hope that when Iz is 47 that she too remembers our “art” with such fondness. ♥

Happy weekend, everyone!

Jean, have you thought about putting together a little photo book of your creations? It would be very fun to have each left page be the original and each right page be the recreation - definitely a memory to be treasured. i'm so impressed!
