A Post for Amber: GrMa lets go!!!

Amber has been telling me for some time that Shayla's projects look too much like me.  She is probably right, as I tend to be a little bit on the perfectionist side and have this need for everything to be right!!  Eyes in the right place; things that go horizontal - horizontally placed, etc. etc.

Well, on Shayla's last project I took her idea to heart and did my very best to let her complete it on her own.

 Here she is working diligently.

The project was of baby Moses in a basket, hidden by the reeds, of course, in the picture of the project all the reeds were growing out of the ground with leaves surrounding the cattails.  I did try to explain that plants grow out of the ground, as I wrung my hands because this didn't seem to matter to her.  See, she saw the important stuff - we have to hide baby Moses.

So, here is her finished project - not grma's - and I am very proud of her. The cattails may be bent, the leaves growing out of the basket but this is HER interpretation and I am proud of BOTH of us!!!!

It turned out so well that I think I will let HER do her own projects from now on!!!!
