How soft and pretty the different colors are that you used, starting with pink, then moving up the paper with a little orange, then lots of bright yellow, till you finished with a blue-then-purple sky. It is very clever how you did this, because it makes me want to look up, up, up, to see the birds and the clouds above. You made the roofs with very steep peaks that point up to the sky too. Is that smoke coming from the chimney? Your four people appear to be ready to dance! This is a very cheerful piece of art! -- Grandma Lanie

Ashlinn, What a delightful giraffe you have created! He has a very curious look on his face, as if he sees something up in the sky that we don't know about. Could it be leaves on a tree branch that he can't quite reach? Maybe he is just stretching the nice long neck you gave him. It must have taken you a long time to draw all his lovely spots. This is a very cheery picture. Your giraffe makes me laugh! -- Grandma Lanie

The snowman looks happy with all those snowflakes around! -- GrandpaMick

Your snowman looks so joyful over the white, fluffy flakes that are falling on his head. Ashlinn, you drew the perfect expression on your snowman's face to show how happy he is. You made his arms reach upwards to show that he welcomes God's wintry gift. Perhaps your snowman is hoping that some kids will come along to build some more snowmen to keep his company. Yay for snow! -- Grandma Lanie

Get the rake out of the garage! Ashlinn's tree is shooting its leaves everywhere, making a big pile in the yard. The dark blue sky at the top tells us that winter is coming. I notice how you pasted the leaves on so they go in all different directions, which shows that the wind is blowing them off the branches. It probably feels to the tree like it is getting a haircut. Not to worry, its leaves will all grow back soon! -- Grandma Lanie

Oh my, you must have gone to a lot of effort to cut and paste all those pieces of paper to make your artwork. To my eye, it looks like a robot who has turned his head around to look at me. Perhaps he could come to my house to vacuum the carpet. On the other hand, maybe he is a kid with a spooky bag over his head, about to go trick and treating! That is what is fun about what you made, Ashlinn. Your artwork can be whatever we imagine it to be. -- Grandma Lanie

I would like to have a tree like this in my front yard. Everyone would drive by and point at it, because it is so tall and straight and blazing with color. Ashlinn, I notice how you made the leaves a mixture of yellow, then orange, then red, just like maple trees look in the Fall. You will have to show me how you made the trunk and the grass look so real without drawing lines first. -- Grandma Lanie

Ashlinn, your little evergreen looks like it is very happy to have been picked to be a Christmas tree. You cleverly drew the tree so that it points up to the star on top, helping us remember about the star that shone over the place where Jesus was born. I am wondering what is inside the gifts with their big bows on top? Only you, the artist, knows for sure! -- Grandma Lanie
