Lovin' Me Some Auntie Peaches ♥

Has it really been just shy of a month since we painted those (link) big sheets of orange? As promised, I'm steering y'all to (link) Auntie Peaches. She has a wonderful way of inspiring creativity with projects that are often easily adaptable to various skill levels and ages. Soooo, when I saw her amazing, ginormous flower, I thought, "BabyGrands!!!" 
Even simplified, it's a two-day project, especially if your kids or grands love LOTS of paint, as we do. We smothered the backs of large, unused calendar sheets. When finally we got around to Part II, we used swim breaks in the great outdoors to finish the masterpiece. In addition to painting, there's lots of cutting, styling and gluing. Am I biased, or did Aubrey and Gavin do a spectacular job? They are presenting it to their Daddy as a belated-for-2012 or early-for-2013 birthday gift. 
There's a lot of lovin' in this sunny artwork, as well as real seeds, harvested from our current crop of (link) 
Silver Dollars
We're already planning a ginormous Christmas Poinsettia...and some mistletoe. Stay tuned
Lovin' kudos to Aubs and Gav.
