A shiver races up my spine whenever I receive a mindful masterpiece from a child.
Can you imagine what happened when two mindful masterpieces arrived in my inbox?
I shivered from head-to-toe—and who wouldn’t? Especially after I cast my gaze on seven-year-old Isaac’s Snowball Fight and Snow Plow creations.
Back in high school, I sure didn’t receive any love from my art teacher. The “C” scrawled on my report card should’ve been my first clue. The teacher then had the audacity to tell me I didn’t have an artistic bone in my body.
Humph.
My drawings and paintings weren’t too shabby. Heck, I even patted myself on the back with her yardstick.
Unfortunately, her poisonous words crushed my creative spirit, and I tossed my sketch pad aside for twenty-two years.
According to Susanna Leonard Hill’s loyal tribe of followers, Summer, Short & Sweets was a smashing success.
Monday, Susanna launched a Fall, Short & Sweets Challenge, and if I’m not mistaken, the challenges will be every other Monday.
I’ve hoped on board, even though it’s Tuesday. And I’m still not offering sweets.
Susanna Leonard Hill, a published children’s author, is running a contest. The rules stipulate that entrants write a children’s story about a very creative and/or unique birthday celebration in 300 words or less in either poetry or prose.
