We had fun!

We finished some 'Nesting Doll's' that we are ready to reveal!  We bought a rough wood set of nesting dolls recently when we visited a Russian store in Chicago thinking we would try to paint picture of each member in our family on them.  We found a set of 7, headed home and got straight to work.  We were thinking that Kaylee would feel a part of the family seeing us all together in this 'toy' treasure.  Derek drew the pictures of each of us on them one afternoon and then I set to work painting them.  It was quite fun as I have always loved doing art projects but have not done so much lately just due to a busy schedule.  I was so grateful to have Derek draw the pictures first and the painting just kind of flowed. Thank you Jesus!  Derek jumped in and painted some too! :)  
We have considered making some for other families if they are interested!  They would be custom ordered and the price would depend on the number of nesting dolls in a set.  It would obviously take at least 30 days to complete as well.  If you know someone who would like a set whether they are adopting (from Russia or anywhere!) or not---send them a link!! :) Enjoy.  They have kind of a 'cartoon-ey feel' to them.
