Creative Writing ~

My son came home from school the other day with a black and white photo of his hands.  He said it was a project his teacher did in class that involved taking a picture of every students hands while they were writing their names.  I thought it was a cool black and white photo and decided to frame it.  
(Love that he's wearing his silly bandz....I think he's since outgrown these?)

I liked the idea so much, I decided to have my daughter pose while writing her name.
 Here's hers framed.
Seemed only fair that they each have a spot on my newly "tweaked" entry gallery wall.

I'm linking to the following parties:

    I love the hand picture idea. I was going to take one of my daughters, my mom's and my hands one day when we're all together but I may add individual shots too. Nice

    I love hands. I am obsessed with Jemma's! I took a picture of her painting. So sweet and they won't be little like that for long. I love that your kids are writing their names. You will have that forever with exactly how they were at that time. Awesome!

    I love this!! I had handprints made of my youngest two for the first 7 years of their lives. One was 'Hands for work and Hearts for God.' another was 'Cowhands'....handprints painted in black and white cow designs. I have kept them all. Love the way you have displayed yours!

    I LOVE this idea! They grow up so fast and I forget to write a lot of things down and capture the precious moments. Can't wait to do this!

    First of all, is that a great teacher or what to take her students' pictures and send each kid's photo home?!! And second, what a great idea of you to do this for your daughter and then post both kids' photos in your entry! They look great there. Plus, your entry looks very pretty! I am looking forward to reading more of your posts. I'm your newest Follower! :)
    Best,
    Gloria

    P.S. I forgot to say: Isn't it amazing how each of your children held the paper a different way, and hold their pencil a different way too? Amazing. We are all unique in our own way. :)
