Jane took a week long art class a while back with a few friends and brought home a painting that I really liked. It wasn't until we decided to enter it into the American Fork Steel Days art competition that I realized that I had been looking at it upside down. I thought it was a sunset of some sort over a mountain....Jane turned it the "right way" and told me it was actually a necklace.
"Oh, I see it. Cool necklace Jane."
"But Mom, I think I want to turn it upside down and make it an exploding volcano."
Turns out the judges liked the idea of an exploding volcano as well. Jane got 1st place in the primary grades of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades (even though she's not quite in 1st grade yet, she didn't want to be counted as a Kindergartner because she "graduated" from that already). She was awarded $6 and received a certificate. The Blue Ribbon comes home with the artwork on Friday.
Congratulations Jane.
You Rock!
