childhood

Dawn
invited us to create like a child in her RR calendar...
I started by painting my back rounds with acrylic paint... I used my favorite colors from when I was a girl and used clear vinyl to make packets to hold pop rocks candy and those Balloons we use to blow up from a straw :). I always love butterfly's and flowers and always dreamed that I could fly :)

Plant your seeds... so you can grow.
when I was about 8, I just loved to plant and grow flowers, marigolds and sunflowers from seeds were my joy!

my childhood art was all about fun!
when I was young I loved hot pink & lime green! I even designed my dream house in this color scheme in home economics!
I never did get my pink and green dream house, but I do have a hot pink walk in closet with lepard carpet!

Me! as a butterfly princess pull out tag



Butterfly princess floating over the land.
I loved to play dress up! and dreamed I could fly!

These pages are so special and wonderful. I love them. We absolutely must participate in a round robin someday - I would love that.

I really love the flower page you created and also remember loving colorful flowers so much when I was little. There are some that I still see today that are multi-colored in pinks,oranges and yellows with little, tiny flowers all clustered together to make a big budding flower - I called them 'candy flowers' when I was little... and I still do today. I get so excited when I come across them; I'm not sure what they are called. They bring back good memories.

Oh Ruth, I ADORE the pages you created in my "Adventures in La-La Land" calendar. I'm a big fan of yours, as you know, and you certainly didn't disappoint me with what you did in my book. I can't WAIT to see it in person and feel all the cool textures in it. Lucky me. Wheeee!
