This 
painting was just so much fun to do.  I made the girl  on watercolor 
paper then colored her with oil pastels.  After adhering her to the canvas 
I made her clothes from collage paper, it was like the old days when I was a 
little girl making paper dolls and their clothes hour after hour.  I still 
have plenty of inner child left in me !
My birthday was Monday so we celebrated over the week 
end.  My sister made me a gourmet Chinese dinner, which included the best 
dumplings known to man, she has this down pat !  My mother in law made a 
double layer chocolate cake, from scratch of course, with a chocolate butter 
cream that was really special.  So we all pigged out and had a great time.  
Little Katie liked the balloons and the cake !  A good time was had by all.  
Did I mention the Mimosas ? Yummy !  It was worth getting a year older for.
