Where is Thumb - Kin?

 Remember my Christmas Fun! post?  I mentioned in that post that we made a little keepsake of our thumb prints in some left over salt dough. Under each thumb print I etched a stick person in with a popsicle stick. That was about all I had done. Tonight I grabbed the markers and decided to color our little thumb people in.

I had this beautiful vision in my mind....blue for Todd and Silas, pink for me and the girls.  So sweet. So color coordinated. I would color some brown hair and some blonde hair....then as I was blissfully coloring away I realized that I had majorly messed up. I had made Ellie blue and Silas pink!  Grrrrrrr.

Redirecting.....

So it still ended up cute. Not nearly as cute as someone else could have made it, but considering the source, not too bad.

Here's a final picture.

We went with the name "Thumb - Kin" because they are our thumb prints and we are related to each other. Kind of a play on words. :) 

I did find out that markers don't blend very well. I was trying to get some brown into Avrie's hair. Oh well, maybe we'll make this a yearly tradition and I can do a better job next year.  I have no idea what we are going to do with it though.  If anyone has any thoughts on how to store/display it, please comment.

Have a blessed day! ~Tammy
