Lexi's Art becomes a Tea Towel

Carley Posted the Picture below on Facebook today that Lexi drew

Lexi's drawing of our family...she even included Lilly:)

As soon as I saw it, I knew what I was going to do.  I had pinned a pin on Pinterest awhile back just for this moment. 

Supplies needed.  

1-Flour Sack Kitchen Towel, pack of 3 -Mainstays brand-Walmart

2-Ultra Fine Point black permanent Sharpie marker

3-Black and white photocopy of child's art work

4-2 straight pens

Tutorial:

Wash and dry the flour sack towel.

Place photocopy on table, with the printed side facing up (make sure something is under the photocopy to protect your table).

Place towel on top of photocopy.

Pin the towel to the paper in 2 places to prevent shifting.

Trace the drawing onto the towel using the Sharpie. (The towel is see through enough that you can see the drawing underneath).  After the first tracing, I went over the lines once more with the Sharpie to make the lines darker.

That's it.  Your are done.  

I made one for Carley and one for Me. (Ninny needs some artwork of Lexi around the house!)

Give it a try.  VERY easy!!

LEXI GOES TO SCHOOL

It is so hard to believe that Lexi is old enough to go to school.  She was so excited about her first day at "Pirate" school as she calls it.  She started K4 at the other PA, Pickens Academy.  Her Dad and Aunt Mama both graduated from Pickens along with her grandparents, Big and Meme.  According to Meme (aka Vicki Ezelle), she is very well known by the faculty and is the "grandprincess" because her Aunt Mama (Mariana) was know as the  "princess".  She is the 3rd generation to go to Pickens.  Her Mom, Carley went to the Patrician Academy and both schools were big rivals when Carley and Michael were growing up.  I guess we will become "Pirate" fans now.  

It was her Dad's day off so both Carley and Michael were able to drop her off on her first day.  Carley even held back her tears and didn't even cry.  

She had so much fun at school, that when she got home from school, she wanted to practice her abc's.  She is going to be smart just like her Mom.  

This was taken today on the playground.  I love this little girl!!!  So proud of her!!
