Paint Party Friday....The Ballerina Mommy.....La maman de ballerine



I have no idea where the time goes...Friday already...wow...the week has flown by right before my very eyes. I always look forward to Fridays for several reasons....besides the obvious start to the weekend which I always love as I get to spend more time with my family and friends.....but also because I take a moment on Fridays to think about all of the things I have accomplished during the past week and think about what I would have done differently or changed if I could....and I take that all in and make plans for my up-coming week....it is all about learning for me....and I always take a moment every day to be thankful for all of the amazing things in my life....and by "things" I don't necessarily mean inanimate objects or material things....I mean things like being a Mommy....my amazing family.....taking care of my family....my health....being a full time illustrator and author....teaching art to children....these are the things that truly fill the soul with happiness....these are the things I am most grateful for.....

so in light of one of my most favorite "things" ...being a Mommy...Today, I share with you a piece I created for a special dancing Mom and her little wee baby....a piece that I hope will be cherished forever....This piece is titled ...."The Ballerina Mommy" or in my virtual Paris Studio.... 
La Maman de Ballerine....

I am sharing this over at Paint Party Friday....I wish you all the best today and during the weekend....We have an extra long weekend here in Canada....as we celebrate Thanksgiving with our Family and friends....so more reasons to be thankful and grateful....

As I bid you adieu I just want to ask what are you Grateful for today?

Hugs
Diana

and P.S.

pop back Saturday to share something sweet with us....it can be anything....art, food, photos, you name it...
