We had a Young Women's activity where we painted pottery and then they fire it for you. We needed a tenth person in order to get a discount, so I brought along Sophie. This kind of thing was right up her alley. I only wish I could so things like this for her more often.
Also I mentioned that Sophie was entering a photo contest. Well... SHE WON! She received a $10 gift card to a local bookstore for her three photos.
She also entered a contest for a coloring book put together by a drug and alcohol prevention group. Her drawing was chosen to be included in the coloring book! She received a t-shirt for that prize, but we haven't picked it up yet.
All in all this has been a real confidence booster for Sophie. I am very proud of her for her efforts! She is a great kid...I love her so much!

wow, I LOVE those photos she took. Especially the first one. I wonder if she would mind if I printed that first one up and hung it on my wall?? Like mother like daughter.
And I've always wanted to go to a place like that and make a serving platter with our names on it, or little cartoon pics of us three or something .. . . I think it would be sentimental.
How wonderful! Congratulations, Sophie!!!
Way to go Sophie! The photos were very pretty. I was impressed! Lily loves to take pictures too. we haven't entered any into a contest though. I always wish that I could do more for my children too. I am doing more than I ever had though, so that's good enough for me.
