yes age 12, not grand daughter.. yikes not yet (my oldest is 15 :-)! This is my daughter's friend; they are meditating on Mary then painting her in just 2-3 colours for the teacher's Christmas Christmas card.. and as always the children's work is amazing! I have the great joy of putting together the children's Christmas card each year.. ReplyDelete
I am a mother, artist and writer. I hope to spend my days adding beauty to the world, raising my heirs well and pampering my husband but it doesn't always work out that way! I rejoice in my family and friends, art, writing, reading, running, hiking, eating, and entertaining.
Here, I am tracking the rhythm and routine of a year in our home and publishing various projects, art and fiction. Welcome to my world!
does it say age 12? is this done by your granddaughter that you spoke about? it is incredibly beautiful!! so so poignant and radiant at the same time!
