We gathered on Friday night at 5:30
6 siblings, 1 spouse, and 1 child
all artists with an entry in the event
known as The Art Palette Contest.
It was opening night
with wine and cheese, and laughter for sure.
We ooohed and aaahed at our individual works
so unique, so lovely, so delightful
each reflecting our own styles and talents.
We sipped our wine and ate our cheese
and voted for our favorites.
We posed for a picture or two,
celebrating the bonds we cherish
and the talents that binds us.
And what does the family that crafts together do after the opening?
Well, of course they
Eat pizza,
play darts,
and sing karaoke together!
I am excited to be writing daily in the March Slice of Life Challenge as hosted by Two Writing Teachers. This marks the fifth year I have participated in the 31 day challenge, writing and sharing a blog post each day. I look forward to the growth in noticing the small moments in my life and capturing them on my blog. I know I will be a better teacher of writers because of this work.

Such a great idea to do with family. Have done with friends, but this is different. Love that you have a common shared experience. Cheers!
Love this — so important to remember that families that do things together stay together. Also, thank you for your kind words on my poem. It is a young adult in my community. So sad when a young life is lost.
Sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for you and the family
I love this line: “celebrating the bonds we cherishand the talents that binds us.” What a wonderful gift that you all share and how incredible that you can be there to enjoy and celebrate it together. Congratulations!
I struggled to write this post, but when I thought about the bonds we share as a family it came together fast. I am blessed for sure
