My baby sister’s birthday just passed – she’s no longer a baby, but for some reason I frequently call her Anna (my daughter’s name) by mistake…
Anna and I spent Sunday morning painting butterflies as part of my sister’s gift. We used watercolors and chalk and ended up with a bunch of beautiful, vibrant, butterflies in different shapes, sizes and colors.
So many things about creating those butterflies inspired me. Having fun with my daughter, creating beauty with color and texture, and the butterflies themselves – perfect symbols of life after life.
My sister loved her gift – a simple bulletin board for her home office with the butterflies pinned all over it. She’s going to use it for pictures of her own baby who is growing and changing so fast.
