For some reason, Little Miss K decided that she did not want to make a butterfly lantern with Mr T the other day… Oh NO! She had something much more daring in mind. She had pressed some of our sweet peas a while back and has been saving them for something REALLY special.
A Summer Lantern was just the thing. She carefully undid her flower press to
reveal her beautifully preserved blooms…
Wonderfully colorful petals and leaves and intricately twirled suckers.
She used some glue to stick them to her yellow, sun-colored lantern.
And then we used my hot glue gun to stick little birdies that we had bought from a craft store into place. She chose a hot pink ribbon to hang her lantern in her room. It is a ‘day lantern’ she says… it is to remind her that the sun gives us all life… oh, the sweet innocence of the 6 year-old mind!
I aslo wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have commented so sweetly on my new banner. Thank you! It is the result of a few lessons in Photoshop. It’s fair to say that I have a new hobby… playing with photos. Oh… is there no end to fun things to learn?

What a gorgeous post. And how amazing it is to learn what goes on in the minds of our children.
Very special. Children are so precious. I love her sentiments.
ohh how precious!
I just realised that I have photoshop on my computer, and have no idea how to use it, yet have been wanting to mix some photos together, one of these days surely I will figure out how to use it:)
Warmly,
