Childhood Is Calling

Gobs & gobs & smears of unrestrained, extravagant color!

 Summer gives us that; so do children's hands.

 Even though ours have grown, we often have little ones around & it's good to be prepared.

These beautiful children are the masterpieces of Dawn who I had the pleasure of meeting over the weekend via blog land.

 Two years ago she and her husband transplanted from California to Nova Scotia, Canada and she began writing her blog,
To The Outskirts! 
 She is an inspiring wife, mother, homeschool teacher and adventurer who is also wonderful behind the camera.

Dawn, you are a daily dose of inspiration!
Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of including your sweet children & their imaginations at TLPC.
