Why am I so proud? Well, go here to find out... (and be sure to click on the last picture in the post to enlarge it).
My 6 year old daughter made a drawing inspired by this:
My favourite spot in Winter
(Belle & Boo)
(Belle & Boo)
I thought she did so well that I scanned it before she handed it over to her ballet teacher and then I emailed it to Mandy from Belle & Boo.
The ever so kind Mandy from Belle & Boo replied to Caitlin and me that she loved the drawing and that she would even put it up on her blog!
Mandy is currently spending her days in Australia, enjoying a lot more sunshine than we are getting here. She will even spend Christmas down under and although it must be a great experience to celebrate Christmas and New Year there, wearing a summer dress and enjoying an outdoor BBQ, I still think she might miss wearing a hat and scarf, warming up her fingers by wearing wool mittens and snuggling up on the couch with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate... a typical winter scene back here. So I sent her Caitlin's drawing so she could have the best of both worlds. Snow in the midst of summer.
Thank you Mandy: Caitlin was so happy when I showed her, I wish you could have seen her face! I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas in Oz!

Hi Tania
Caitlin's drawing is amazing. What a talented artist she is. That is a picture that certainly needs to be framed. How sweet of Mandy to put it up on her blog.
This would have been a perfect surprise for Mandy to remind her of Christams back home. Christmas here, in the land of Oz, sure is hot.

caitlin did a beautiful job on her interpretation of mandy's original. it looks like she is going to be very artistic just like her mom!!! how awesome that mandy shared it with her readers:)
