6th Grade Auction Item Complete!

My year to volunteer! I volunteer for this, that and the other at all my kiddo's schools but this year I was a homeroom mom... first. time. ever. (My oldest is 23) I thought it was time to serve in that area of volunteerism... It was no sweat... good moms to work with, that is what makes that stuff bearable. So, while at it I thought I may go for creating the 6th grade auction item for the upcoming ginormous fundraiser this year. I wanted to make it as easy as possible on the parents. I remember being a "50+ hour work week outside the home mom" and I chose to be compassionate to those moms & dads this year... All I asked is that the children finish the sentence "I believe.... " The responses were wonderful!!! Quotes like "I believe in human rights" to "I believe the Steelers are better than the Bengals" I created a tree of life using their quotes as the swirled leaves in the tree and had it put onto 20x20 stretched canvas. Simple and heartfelt from the mouths of babes. Turned out pretty good. Now folks... get your bid on!!!
