I didn’t really set out to take over a week hiatus from blogging. Nor did I tend to tease you all that long. Y’all had some really neat ideas as to what we were doing with the hand prints. The person with the closest guess was Ruby Red Slippers! She guessed preschool art.

While suffering one nasty case of sinusitis and with the help of a few wonderful moms we collected over 350 little {grubby} hand prints, quite a few thumb and finger prints, and some individual pieces of art. We collaborated with an awesomely creative local artist, Micki, to create 20 masterpieces! I have picked my 10 favorites (and that was hard enough). These will be auctioned off tonight at our fall carnival.

(NOTE: I have blurred the school and teacher names for security)

This is BBC’s favorite…too cute!

I wish I was here right about now…

This one has BBC’s precious little hand and thumb prints…

Total work of art!

Go Hogs!!!

Give Thanks!

Space Camp or BUST!

We did a few individual contribution projects. We have some talented kids at our school!

Individual Ornaments

Peace, y’all!

I’m not much on skulls and cross bones but even I think this one turned out way too cool! Those kids (girls included) were fighting over decorating the skulls over the hearts. I was totally shocked! We ended up picking numbers to make it fair.

I hope we do well with our auction and raise a lot of money for the school. This project was very time consuming with a lot of moving parts. I’m glad I was able to be part of it. I wish I could take creative credit for everything but I cannot.

The projects would be nothing without Micki’s special touches. Don’t y’all agree that she has talent?
