This was made by Little Miss aged 5.
Aren't they sweet?
We then had a go at collage. Yesterday Daddy took them over the local woods to collect some nature bits and bobs. These are their collages we made with them:
Little Man's is on the left. He was the artistic director telling me where to put the sellotape. Little Miss did hers all on her own.
Proud Mummy!

(and not just cos she's a purdy lady :P )Rebecca Woodhead is winning Ms Twitter UK at the moment. The contest ends in less than a day but there are arguments and accusations of cheating flying around the web. Mainly from fans of the people trailing behind.
So why am I following Rebecca?
Sorry , Rebecca, but I pinched this bit from your blog:
So far I've jumped through the following hoops:
1/ Learnt English
2/ Had car accident, fallen into coma, emerged from coma unable to speak
3/ Learnt English again
4/ Got Degree in English
5/ Did lots of research about publishing and novel writing
6/ Written novel
6/ Written sequel
7/ Set up online presence
8/ Built up following of writers, readers, publishers, agents, editors and other media people and a couple of celebrities
9/ Got feedback on my writing from best selling authors
10/ Edited both books. Re-edited first book.
She just needs an agent and she's off. Though I have to say it's the first three points of her ten that have impressed me the most. As a tutor to a man who had two strokes at the wheel of the car and suffered immense brain trauma, I know how hard it is to regain your language skills. Rebecca has not only relearnt the English language, but succeeded in gaining majorly impressive qualifications and written two novels.
Rebecca to win!

Now I so don't think I'm arty and can't draw to save my life so my ATC's will almost all be texture based. Please give feedback and hints.

What do you think?
Okay, following is a “Pay It Forward” game that I am going to get on to the band wagon of. I came across this concept from reading Woolywotnot's blog. If you haven’t discovered her blog already, go over and leave a comment. It is always packed full of ideas and she is such a creative and inspirational lady.
So here it is…
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Whatcha get is whatcha get.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber.
5. I reserve the right to do something strange or weird.
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.
7. Send your mailing address – after I contact you.
Welcome to everyone. I will however, make an effort to do something that you like based on what I see on your blog, BUT there are no guarantees.
