We have a winner!!!

A couple weeks ago, our local little newspaper introduced an Easter coloring contest. My children had entered a couple of their other contests before, so of course they wanted to participate this time too. Well, out of 175 entries in 3 different age groups, our Lexi won FIRST place in her age group. For those of you familiar with ADHD, this is a magnificent accomplishment for her!! She used 3 different mediums (puffy paints, crayons, rubber stamping) and it took her a couple different days to finish the project. It tested her focusing skills, and my patience with the mess she would leave behind every day, but she won a $35 gift card to the art school where her winning picture was displayed!!!


Her picture is the one above her head to the right with the blue ribbon on it!!
