Handprints on Canvas

The kids are growing up WAY TOO FAST. Before Kaylee got any bigger, I wanted to do something that preserved her tiny little hand prints. I bought an 8x24 canvas, painted it a cream color, then put the kid's hand prints on it. The boys were happy to help, Kaylee giggled when I painted her fingers, then screamed while I tried to place them on the canvas. This explains the smudgy prints :) It wasn't worth torturing her to get new prints.

I painted the phrase, "Lead Me Guide Me". When Aaron saw the letters, he asked me what it said. I told him then he said, "That's from 'I am a Child of God'!!!" We sing it every night before family prayer.

I haven't decided where to hang it yet, but here is a picture of how it turned out.
