Well, we went to check out the art at the fair last night! Addy put in two pieces this year and Creed put in one....they all three got ribbons! Addy got 1st place in mixed media for ages 9-12 yr olds, 3rd place in acrylic for 9-12 yr olds, and Creed got 2nd place in acrylic for 6-8 yr olds. They were so excited and I'm so proud of them! I also put in five pieces this year and got two 2nd place ribbons, one in the category of still life and the other in seascape. I'm very grateful because this really pushes me to work on my own creativity. If you want to check it out when you visit the Appalachian Fair this year, they're in the home & farm building. There are some amazingly beautiful things entered this year!
