    Hi there! We are FMF neighbors today. I love when parents share their gifts and passions with their kids. My boys and I love to grab sketch books and just draw together. Thanks for sharing your beautiful reflections today!

    I loathe painting, after we painted our entire main floor several years ago! We have vaulted ceilings and there is so much prep work! The colors always seem to look different in my home than in the store too. It does really refresh the house though and gives it an entire new personality!

      That is too funny, Heidi. I know what you mean though. It is different when you’re painting for pleasure versus working hard painting your house! We did that when we built out house years ago. We did all of the painting on the inside and the outside! It was hard work, but it was well worth it.

      Thank you, Ricci! And here she doesn’t even think she did that great on it. I told her she most certainly did! I can’t wait to show her these comments to let her see that others recognize her talent, even if she doesn’t!

    Love the lighthouse! What a talented daughter! I’m not much of a painter except for spray paint and painting walls, but I love artwork!
