Atelier Art Program

Our homeschool art group "Little Hands" has been looking at a art program called Atelier. It is a video based program that teaches to the right side of the brain (which is supposed to enourage creativity and increase learning skills).
All the materials are easy access, the instruction is clear, and the video instructor makes it a breeze to teach art even to a non-creative person like myself.
The one draw back that our group had was the cost. There are several different modules that teach varying levels. Each module had price tag of ~$55. This was really too expensive for our little group who basically had no extra means other than for supplies.
But as things are provided, I happened upon a module, BRAND NEW in the shrink wrap, at our co-op registration and used curriculum sale. I managed to snag the Level 3 Module (which is exactly where our kids need to be) for $5.
What a blessing this is going to be to our group and I can't wait to post about our first opportunity to use this great program.

Daddy Daughter Date

Our local Chik-Fil-A recently had a "DADDY~ DAUGHTER" Date Night... My DH made arrangements to take DD as a surprise... It was fantastic, she had such a wonderful time... They were met by valet parking (yes, at Chik-Fil-A, I was surprised also)... had a dinner of chicken (of course)... a rose for DH to give to DD and pictures.
He made it even more special by stopping by the Mast General Store and letting her pick some candy out of the barrels...
A wonderful evening and lots of memories she will never forget!                                                                                  DD and DH
