Collaborative Effort

I like the philosphical idea of rebelling against our over-commercialized materialistic society. I don't always have the time or energy (or desire), however, to creatively take action. But today, one very small thing I committed to make (rather than simply run to WalMart to buy) was a set of thank-you cards for the many generous Christmas gifts Hannah received. I wanted the thank-yous to be thoughtful and personal with some contribution from Hannah herself, so we got creative. This was the result...a collaborative creative effort...her artwork, my assemblage, and my note-writing. I had a lot of fun being creative and using supplies I already had on hand. I also really like the idea of encouraging Hannah in her artwork as she grows by finding ways to use or display it...even these early sloppy scribbles.
