Wylie Wins!

Earlier this week, Bubba and I learned some very exciting news regarding our budding artist Wylie!  Through her afternoon art class teacher, Wylie had been entered into a local Blues and Jazz festival art contest!  This week, when picking her up, we learned Wylie had WON for her division!   Needless to say, Bubba and I were thrilled about her accomplishments!!

We waited until the night before to give Wylie her big news!  While I am not so sure she totally got it at  the moment, I think she did understand our happiness for her accomplishment!!!  

Saturday morning was a big day as she did her own hair, got dressed and headed off to her Awards Ceremony!   My heart was so happy for her!  My little "baby" girl is such a "big" girl all the sudden!!! 

   

 

  The  prize winning work!! 

  

Thrilled with her $25 dollar cash prize!!  She was practically a millionaire! 

So what do you do with $25 in your back pocket?!?!  Head STRAIGHT to Target and spend, spend, spend!!   Wylie was quick to make her decision and purchased more art supplies for herself!  

 

I am so thankful Wylie is finding out who she is!  She loves art and enjoys every part of it!  I suppose we knew it way back when because she was quick to pick up coloring and was very concerned with staying in the lines at an early age!!   I am grateful my little love realizes she has a talent and she loves to use her talent!!  

Baby girl, you made your mommy and daddy so proud!!  We are so happy for you !  Your smiles and excitement over this accomplishment have been incredible and I wish I could have captured every one of them on camera!!  You are a talented little girl and I know the walls of our home will continue to be decorated by the many art pieces you create!!  Keep drawing and making the beautiful art you are already making!!  We love you lots and lots and couldn't be prouder of you!!
