What happens with the money when you donate or buy t-shirts and lessons?
On the first Saturday of every month we host a free art experience for the community children. This month, Sue was helping the children make collages.
We had 12 registered this month and a few siblings sat in as well. After watching how much fun the kids were having, the parents approached us for a grown up version. Some day, we hope to make that happen.
Now that soccer interruptions are over, and until basketball starts, we’re able to sneak in more Daddy/Daughter Breakfasts.
We had a long talk today about the importance of practice. She asked why I draw so many coffee cups. I said because I’m not as good at it as I want to be. She said that I was very good, way better than her. I said I had more practice. She lamented she wasn’t very good and that she would never be able to do it. I reminded her that she didn’t used to be able to walk, but she practiced and now she can run. She didn’t used to be able to talk. But she practiced and now she can sing. And right now, you don’t think you draw very well, but with practice you’ll be drawing coffee cups with the best of them. Maybe you’ll even draw a cat.

This week the little girl and I ended up working the art council’s Booth at the county fair. She had no idea how many people stopped to watch over her shoulder.
