Back at it! HAT

((BLOGGER IS BEING A TAD WONKY FOR ME SO PLEASE 'SCUSE THE FORMATTING!))
OK, after a super long hiatus, the artblog is back up and running. I am so sorry for the long delay but we're finally in our home and settling down enough to get back on schedule (phew!)

So since it's been awhile now, let's just leave the theme-word as 'hat' for this next week and give everyone a chance to send in submissions. I'll add the artwork to the blog as I get it.

Get those crayons and finger-paints out! Here we go..

week 8 ~ strong

The word for the coming week has been suggested by Lilli M. I got this email from her Mom and wanted to share it:
"I asked Lilli about a word and she was SO excited! First she said "grandmother" but then quickly said "no no... not that!" and then she said "mad" and then said "wait, no... not that either". Her final decision is "hat". I told her maybe I'd give you a choice of the 3 and she said "NO!!!!! because then SHE'LL choose and might choose "mad" and not "hat" and I think hat's would be so colorful!!!!" So... "hat" it is! She's so sweet!!!!!"

HA! OK, Lilli, I won't choose for you - 'Hat' it is!
