We signed up to participate in Marian Artist Trading Card Swap at Pondered In My Heart.
This was VERY intimidating to me since I am not an artist and
I literally waited until the last minute
to get the ball rolling paint flinging!
The littles were excited to work with the tiny (2.5" x 3.5") cards.
We used washable paints, black marker pens, color pencils and a red bingo marker.
Some of the card titles,
I wrote down exactly what they told me:

My inspiration was Our lady of Guadalupe.
That is the name of the church I attended as a child.
My mother had aprons made for her granddaughters and
I hung up one of them for a visual.
I was afraid of how they would turn out and I stuck with what was easy and
they actually turned out better than I imagined!
I'm so excited to receive our cards but
even more excited for the kid's
reactions when their very own cards come in the mail!
Thanks so much Kimberlee for arranging the card swap and for all your time
separating, sorting, labeling, and mailing...etc. etc etc.
