A Gift At Christmas - a lesson to learn from Louise
It was so beautiful I had to share it. The photo above shows how she carefully wrapped it. Inside they were two pages and she had written and drawn on them.
This page says
"Art rocks
I love art
Dear Shandra
I hade grate fun at art class and you are the best art teacher ever from Louise"
I turned it over and on the other side she had written:
"Dear Shandra I hope you have a good halliday - get messy"

This made me decide to create an Art Box present for Louise so that she can continue to create and blossom into the artist that is inside her. She does not know it yet but next week I will present her with a box of art and craft materials, she deserves so much more than I can give. She reminds me of the little girl I was, I loved fabric, paper, buttons, colour, pencils etc. I did not have much but my mother gave me what she could to encourage and nurture my creativity. This unexpected gift of art materials will hopefully allow her to create, make, touch, paint and delight in the colours and textures, without worrying about the cost. I hope that it will also give her that small boost to ensure that she will become all that she can be and share her beautiful spirit with all the world. The greatest lesson to learn from this is that you do not have to spend huge amounts of money to spread and share the true meaning of Christmas. It is about giving with love.
