Dragons are pretty neat creatures. They are as fascinating as your imagination takes you. MaryEllen enjoys creating different dragons using inspiration from a few of her art books. Blessings,
MaryEllen has developed an interest in the Vikings, Saxons, dragons, etc. While rediscovering these Perler Beads, she creatively constructed a fleet of viking ships. I thought it was ingenious how she designed them to stand and how she devised a way for the sail to be placed. She has made two more since I took these ...

This past week, we went to Walmart, Target and Hobby Lobby looking for white pillow-sheets and fabric markers. We didn't want to pay a small fortune, just something she could practice on. We finally found a ...
I have monthly folders with the kids' drawings. Most of it is MaryEllen's drawings, Donnie draws, but not as much as MaryEllen. This is how a typical monthly folder looks.
