Parenting by painting



In my last post I alluded to a dreaded lurgy lurking nearby, and at the time I thought it was Chris who was going to get it, but it got me. The whole flu deal. Not nice. Luckily for me, the kids are not sick (must be those multivitamins!) I am getting there, though this morning I discovered I had conjuctivitis (blurgh) and I am obviously not altogether with it as my garage door can testify. oops.

Anyways, let's just talk about craft. I have had my eye on these bossy posters for ages. I decided to DIY. It's not as flashy, but I still quite like how it came out. I scanned the my original painting and then used iphoto on my trusty mac to add the faux photo matte.

This little phrase is something I say a fair bit to the kids, but it is also a good reminder for us adults too.

The poster is cool. I think I need one! Hope you are feeling better soon. This winter has been shocking for most :)

Oh, not nice to be sick. Hope you are on the mend!

Love your poster. Mine would just say 'careful' at the moment, not that a 7 month old knows what careful means...

Checked out the link and loved the 'no dinner, no dessert'. Mum would have loved that with us! :)

That poster is cool, I want one!

So over bugs in our house, someone is always sick, or at least it feels that way...
