I'm looking forward to seeing what's involved. Your experiments with the textures are fab! But most of all I love your storybook about Cowgirl. What a wonderfull keepsake for her, and I'm sure she'll treasure it all her life. I did some similar things with my boys when they were aged 4 to about 9 and I love them - although they are too 'cool' to enjoy them right now and will need a few more years before they can look back and enjoy them again.<br />As for the rewiring at age 5 or 6 (in your more recent post) all I can say is - wait for the one that hits in early teens!!!!!!!<br />Janice. xJanice / Dancing with Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646734271197959581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-42405989329819919452010-07-21T13:21:35.658-05:002010-07-21T13:21:35.658-05:00such beautiful, inspirational and lovely ideas and...such beautiful, inspirational and lovely ideas and images here. Glad to here that regardless of set-backs many good things were completed too. I find this often happens in my life and I need to gather inspiration to overcome the feelings of overwhelm. It sounds calm and productive though where you are.<br /><br />I am spending my summer days still working and looking forward to August being a little calmer . . . . .<br /><br />Amelia.xAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011651431719495166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-14609295729312054432010-07-21T12:11:30.831-05:002010-07-21T12:11:30.831-05:00i could look at spider webs for hours- but i hate ...i could look at spider webs for hours- but i hate when i walk thru one! ewww.<br />but they are really little works of art, and your photos captured them magically!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758783620564553796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-70700986034563804172010-07-21T02:11:44.883-05:002010-07-21T02:11:44.883-05:00poor dogie, hope he's ok.

You are such an AMAZING mommy and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! You really are! I love how you take into account your little girl's Chinese heritage...you are planting these seeds of cultural integrity and one day...they will bloom and bear fruit. For your daughter and her children. This project seems so fun-I have a fave book of Tara's called 3 little caterpillars that I want to (one day) turn into a photo frame. It was her fave book until she pulled out the pop out butterflies! I am so loving the digital overlays you paired with the photos. I purchased some from Cottage Arts (?) but have not had the time to figure out how to use them! Their effects are so amazing though-it gives the pic a whole different quality. <br />Things have been even crazier than usual over here. I am trying to get some stuff done around the house (pressure wash roof etc) and these contractors are a bear to deal with. I really feel that they treat women so much differently with trying to get over on us.<br /> The book I am reading Broken Open is simply an amazing read Lis. It really has been a gift. Try to check it out when you get some time.

What a brilliant idea. I can't tell you how many little board books I have from my son's toddler days. I think I might play around them. Thanks for the inspiration.
