surprise #2

surprise #2 from my twenty year old art bin
the first letters of my ABC book

It's really hard to impress Kyle and Jordan because Mike is so much better than me at all things an eight year old boy thinks is cool. I already told you that when I try to be cool too, I split my pants. Anyway, after eight years, I finally impressed Kyle and Jordan. When I showed them this ABC book that I started when I was a little older than they are, they looked up at me with awe in their eyes and I had to smile.

I remember now how motivated I was to make this book. The letter "D" had been an assignment for an art class and I wanted to complete the alphabet. I completed letter F, started letter G and then never finished, but you can see my plans. I wish I had finished. I wish I had discovered this before my youngest was two years old. But maybe I'll ask Kyle and Jordan to finish for me. I think they'd like that.

Some of the color didn't scan well, but it's all colored with color pencil.

WOW! You are an artist!
I'd be impressed too if I were your boys. :)
Very cool idea to have them finish it for you!

Ok, time to finish this and publish it! I need to send you the art work you did in high school that I have saved. It's fantastic!
