Happy Birthday balloons

Today is my sister in law's birthday.  I downloaded this image from the internet and used colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color it.  I just recently discovered this technique and I LOVE it...as does my husband and 6 year old son.  We have colored many images in the past week or so.  I love that my son can really help on a card!!  I highlighted some areas with glitter gel pens but you can't see that in the photo.

Celebrate goodie bags

Today is my son's "Step Up" to 1st grade program.  He really wanted to have a little something to give to each of his classmates so we made these little goodie bags.  Yellow and blue are his school colors and I just used a star to keep them very simple.  We also made yellow and blue star shaped sugar cookies!!
I'm so proud of my, not so little anymore, boy!!  

Looking forward to the program and excited for him to start summer vacation!!  A big THANK YOU to his wonderful teachers for making this year such a success and for building a great foundation for his future education!!  The teachers really make all the difference and we're so lucky his school is staffed with the BEST teachers!!
