So, since you figured it out that Mabel did this painting. What do you think.
Mabel is the little girl in this picture with her brother. (Yes, they talked me into eating inside Wendy's yesterday). I was tricked as what they really wanted was the Frostys not lunch. Okay back to Mabel.....she is 5 1/2. She did this painting at an art camp last week. The border was penciled in for her. Just like the outline of the mountain and where the grass should be. She said they told her how to do it and she just followed directions. I have been noticing lately some of the things she does that seem a bit unusual. Am I just a proud Grammy? Math skills,she wants flash cards. Rhyming words. She constantly asks me to tell her a word so she rhyme words with it. She is a bit of a stinker sometimes. She gets so mad quickly. I don't know, but you tell me if you see some kind of a connection. Just like her drink in this picture. Her brother ordered it. They wanted the ice cream cones as well. I said since the drink had so much sugar we were only going to get the small Frostys. She thought for awhile and then said if she didn't drink her drink could she have a bigger Frosty. By the way, the name Mabel is for real and it fits her very well. (Next picture) What is this mess you ask. They are mini little banners for a miniature swap I am in. It is somewhat like the one for Club Little House. A different person started this swap. Everyone had so much fun with the other swap they wanted to do it again and bigger. I made 25 of these babies. They are adorable in person. So tiny. My eyes crossed doing them. It was like doing a tiny puzzle. I used double sided paper and it worked just great for this. Now I need to package them up and send them off. I know, I know, I said I would be having a giveaway this week. I will post, hopefully on Friday. Tomorrow and Thursday I will be busy with out of town babysitting for 3/4 children. But here is one of the items in the giveaway. Sorry, I am having problems with placement this morning and I don't have time to spend correcting it. Off for lunch with a friend. It's a paying it forward act of kindness. I did this on my facebook page. It's a good thing I have a year to do this. So toodles for today.

Wow on that painting, the girl is an artist with good eye for color.
She'll probably make many more beautiful painting.
What are you using these teeny tiny banner for? doll houses? I have no idea where you would use these.
Hugs,

I think little Mabel is one budding artist! Is that snow on the mountains? Sure looks like it! She's a cutie. My daughter Emily was very surprising like that.
The teeny banners are darling!

WOw paints just like a pro!
Debby, That is a great piece of art for that young a s person. I love how they try their best, to trick us into buying treats. LOL
The wee banners are very nice. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Love the Wee bunting. I think most of my dollhouses have been enjoying bunting this year. Your swap partners are going to love your special ones. Mabel is one talented artist. What a beautiful picture. It definitely needs to be framed and preserved.
Oh my goodness, those mini banners are so adorable!
Sweet mini banners. Mabel looks to be an upcoming Matisse, lol! Talented girl.
Precious little girl has a gift! It's great that ya'll are encouraging her at such a young age. My little girl entered her first talent competition in vocals when she was 4 1/2. I loved every moment. She went on to major in music in college and has now taken a break for a long-awaited baby. Fun!
I think that girl has a good noggin on her shoulders! I sense a business woman in the making. :)
Your banners are adorable!
I can tell you love being a grandmother (as well you should). I look forward to those days when I'm older. Little Mabel's painting is really good! I think you're going to be getting a lot more of those in the future. You might as well clear a place on your wall for all of her prized artwork!
what a wonderful painting. The banners are so adorable.
Mabel's painting is just beautiful. Such talent! It's good to encourage children when they are young. It's great being a proud grandma, and your Mabel is such a cutie.
Your wee banners are so cute. You have a lot of patience to be able to work on such teeny things.
Right now, I'm enjoying the morning coolness before the hot temps get here in a few hours. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
