a forever flag…

why are we so drawn to hand and foot print art for the kiddos? they seem to be the only pieces I collect from their school work and I have saved art ideas on pinterest for every holiday you can imagine.

I suppose it’s the most tangible and creative way to capture their size and innocence without a measuring tape?!

Thus, THE FLAG…

Which was a MUST recreate with my little, yet rapidly growing, hands and feet!

I bought all the supplies weeks before Callie’s party in hopes I could get it done ahead of time. Turns out it was best to wait until the day before, when we had a few extra hands to help. After taping off the stripes, Josh held the kids, I painted, Bret did the positioning and Mom was on clean up crew.

Our flag is Drew’s feet and Callie’s hands and made it’s debut at Callie’s party, but will be a centerpiece in our home for years.

I ADORE!!
