The other day, during school, Gracie discovered one of the "extras" that I had found for her at the CHAP convention.  It's a book called Draw and Write Through History (Pilgrims, Pirates, and Patriots).  I thought it would be a nice supplement to our All American History this year.  I purchased it from Miller Pads & Paper - but, if you're interested, you can pick up a copy at the Schoolhouse Store (where shipping is always FREE!)



She has spent the last few days drawing ferociously!  I thought I'd share a few of her creations.  First is a drawing of one of Columbus's ships - the Nina:

These were done on good old copy paper, using just a pencil and Crayola's Twistables(r) Colored Pencils.

I am way, way behind on commenting on people's blogs. I read on bloglines and then come comment when I have more time. I never have more -- just your average 24 hour days.

But, I wanted to say to Gracie... these pictures are amazing. You are a terrific artist!
