I decided to make an art/flower journal book for Cass to 'document' her new gardening experience! Now, Cass is 5 1/2 and getting ready to start Kindergarten in the fall. So, I thought this would be a fun project for her. The idea is to put photos of her flowers in here as well as photos of her planting, watering, and such. There are also pages of mixed media paper for her to draw, paint, collage, etc. The little flip cards have elementary school style lines for her to write some words if she chooses.

So, are you inspired to try something a little different ... set off on a new adventure of some kind? Let us know what you are doing!
Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP: writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive! The theme is always optional.

Dream Valley: Summer FunInspiration Station: Be Kind ~ I'm inspired by the words. I want to be kind and model kindness through teaching care for the earth, animals, and each other. Watching this little 5 1/2 year old slow down and care about her flowers and document their growth is so wonderful! It's so fun to watch her experience life outside of herself!
