Welcome To Magic Marker Monday

Written by Michelle

"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."

~Pablo Picasso

Is your refrigerator door filled with masterpieces? Meet Michelle from In The Life of a Child here every Monday to share some of those 'kid art' moments that make life beautiful. When life is filled with challenges, it can be difficult to see beyond the heartache. Let's take some time to just enjoy the beauty of our children, who they are, and the wonderful things they fill our lives with — like crayon doodles and finger-paint masterpieces.

Every Monday Michelle will share a Magic Marker Monday photo here at 5MFSN along with a Mr. Linky. To add your little artist's work to our virtual fridge gallery simply:

  • Post a photo on your blog or photo sharing site of your child's masterpiece or special accomplishment of the week.
  • Tell us a little about your artist and the inspiration for their artwork or accomplishment in your post or in a caption.
  • Sign Mr. Linky with the direct link to your photo post.
  • Please leave a comment on the Magic Marker Monday post here at 5MFSN — we love to hear from you.
  • Click the links shared on Mr. Linky and get to know some of the other amazing little artists in our community.
  • Please remember to leave a comment on the photos you visit. You'll help put smiles in the hearts of our families and inspiration in the hearts of our children.
  • Want the Magic Marker Monday button code? Click here.

See you here each Monday!
