Art Winner!

1st Place Winner and Merchant Award

2nd Place Winner

This weekend Henderson county is having its 82nd Annual Art Show and we entered Grace's two paintings in the Youth Division. Low and behold, they won 1st and 2nd! Now I didn't have the heart to tell her that there were only 3 entries total in the 4-5 year old division, but when we went to receive the awards, we were overwhelmed with the number of compliments from everyone! I was mainly proud that Grace got the opportunity to feel proud of her work.....

Also, at school, she was able to show these two pictures and tell all about how she made them, materials used, etc. In the words of her teacher, "the kids all sat and listened while Grace explained everything." She even got to go to several other classes to show her work.
I know that made her excited! Way to go, Gracie!

Wow, way to go Gracie! I forgot all about the art show. Bri and I like to go each year, but somehow missed this one. Would have really liked to see her work being shown.
