THANKS to Tara, my daughters spent some of this Sunday just gone drawing me.
Here are the results.
What a peach.
By Melissa
I'd like to point out two things:
1. I don't have a top with hearts on.
2. Both wanted to draw my "red cheeks you get when you are 41," but only Melissa made such a prominent feature of them!
Now for the tagging bit:
I hope the following bloggers may want to take up the challenge*:
Laura at Are We nearly there yet
* Anyone is welcome to join in. I've just tried to pick people who aren't sick of me and whose children are of an age to take it up.
Also I've already seen how creative some of these children can be.
Absolutely gorgeous - and you are so smiley in both pictures.
Brilliant brilliant portraits. Your girls are stars x

Cue Vision On music. Cos I am very smiley in real life you know, especially when on rollercoasters. They could have drawn me with a dog turd on my head and they would still be stars.
Okay, possibly not.

I see that you weren't posing with 'that face' ... you know the one.
I shall get my little monkeys to draw me, I reckon the 5 year old will be far more rforgiving than the 3 year old who refuses to draw anything but circles.

Hi Laura - can you get them to make a model of you holding a snail?
I was pulling no such face. So there.

The hearts and stars are a definite sign of adoration! Thanks for the tag.

These pictures are brilliant! "Red cheeks you get when you are 41" or "Red cheeks you get after a glass of wine or two?". They've spent a lot of time on them you can tell. I posted up my son's picture yesterday. Not great. But then he's a 3 year old. And a boy.
