Family portraits

I have these mini canvases (I think they are 2"x3") that I decided to paint our family silhouettes on. Eventually I will have more of them (due to more kids) and eventually I will have a house that I own where I will have a wall on which I will paint a tree silhouette and hang these so they look as though they are on the branches.

I did mine last year when Chris was deployed, but I haven't changed, so no biggie. I just did Chris and Mady's. Chris is easy to tell it is him, as is mine, but Mady's not so much. In photos she is very much her, but since she is so small and her features are just starting to really develop, in a silhouette she still very much has a "baby mushface". It really could be any baby, but I know it's mine.

Here they are.

(Just a note: Someone thought these were really big. They are only about 3"x2", so tiny.)

Aside from making the tree in the future, I'm also debating making one of Mady every year, and lining them all up to see how they change. She is just a few weeks shy of being a year here.

I also picked up these Chipboard books the other day from the accurately titled "Impulse Buy" section from Michael's. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, something for Mady and maybe her cousin, but what? Colors? Numbers? Seasons? 

Well, it just came to me! Stay tuned for updates on it. 

The only thing is. I won't be able to do the same idea for Mady's cousin now as there is no way I will be able to get what I need for hers in time. These may both end up Mady's, and I'll do something else for her cousin.
