Day #27: Artwork

My favorite piece of artwork…

…is the Mother’s Day gift the boys and Clara made at daycare.  It would be the only Mother’s Day gift I would get from her.  Just 2 days later she was gone.  They were proudly displayed on our front door and haven’t moved since that day.

Daycare Artwork…

Elaine always displays the kids names on the wall and changes them as the seasons change.  It took her a long time to change out the spring season because she would be taking Clara’s name down.  When she was ready to change the artwork she asked me if I wanted to have the caterpillar.  Of course I said yes!  I keep it tucked away but I think putting it in the case with her angels and flowers is the next home for it.  It matches her butterfly baby book perfectly.

Pinterest Artwork…

The last piece of artwork I wanted to share is the gift idea I found on Pinterest.  I really wanted to make handprints of each of the kids for Chris’s Christmas gift last year.  I quickly was in tears when I realized I didn’t have any handprints of Clara. It took me a few weeks to come up with doing the footprints instead.  I don’t have any prints except the ones the hospital made but they worked just fine.  My artistic skills are a bit lacking but the gift meant enough to Chris to bring tears to his eyes.  I say that means more than how pretty it looks.
