It is PINK SATURDAY again and I spent a few days wondering what I would post about today. As I was sitting in my computer room I looked up and saw the heart that Tim made me when he was in kindergarten. It has been hanging on my door since February of 2005 and is still in wonderful condition. I just love the heart. What mother wouldn't be brought to tears by such a work of art?
Since he went to kindergarten in a room right next to mine I would get an occasional glimpse of him in his classroom. It was very nice having him so close to me.
If any of you are interested here is the recipe for the clay that was used to make this heart.

That is so special! I can see why you've kept it forever!
I always had my kids at work with me....I wish Kelli worked as a school nurse so she could be closer to Connor.
He still won't talk about school! But seems happy...so who knows!
Thanks for the recipe....I may have to let him make something like this here.

That Timmy is just a true artist. He makes such wonderful things, and this heart was just perfect for his mommy.
I have something my son made me when he was in kindergarten (that was many years ago) hanging on the board in my scrapbook room. It makes me smile, too.
Hi Dawn,
Aahh, a precious work of art, it is lovely. Thanks for posting the recipe, your blog is so pretty. I hope you enjoy a great Pink day!
Best, Pennie
Dawn, that little gift Tim made you is beautiful. I keep being impressed with little Tim. He is a special little boy.
Thanks for the recipe, I bet my grands would like to do something with that clay. At least it would keep them busy!
Have a happy weekend. Just knowing you don't have to work on Mon. is an upper. smile.
I am still in Raleigh, and I wish someone would wake up and make coffee. I would love to have coffee with you.
Love, jeanne
Such a sweet, little heart from your sweet little boy....
I am thrilled to get your recipe as I am always looking for things to make with my granddaughters...
Thanks so much.....

Dawn,
That is so sweet. I have a couple hand made treasures like that around and it really makes me smile when they catch my attention. Have a wonderful Saturday in your neck of the woods!!
I concur Dawn. It is a masterpiece and truly precious.
How sweet is this! This is a treasure to hang on to forever! What a lovely reminder that he was thinking of his mommy when he created it, and painted it the pink that you would love!
I never used to be afraid to go to kindergarten as my mother was the other kindergarten teacher across the hall!

Dawn,
Priceless. As the mother of three teens, I still have little treasures they made or gave me scattered throughout the house. Don't these little mementos just make you smile? They do me!
I bet you're an awesome kindergarten teacher. The kindness of your heart makes you tailor made for such a noble position in life! God bless our teachers!!!

I love your little clay heart made by Tim! I used to make clay ornaments and I think that is the recipe we used! I also enjoyed reading the story that went along with your favorite foto! What a treasure to have a picture like that! Happy PSat!
What a precious keepsake. How sweet!
Amazing that you still have it; those things are fragile.
That is such a treasure! You can just see the love your son put into it! I always thought the best job in the world must be being an elementary school teacher! You're very blessed! Have a fantastic Pink Weekend!
Oh, how cute! Those made objects by our little ones, can still warm our hearts many years later, can't they? Tim did a good job, it is precious! Love the photo below and the story behind!
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Smiling Hello Dawn:)
Oh my, I'm widely drawn to this Heart. What a nice sweet sugar-pink treasure from Tim: a Heart made in the kindergarten. Need to say that I'm too a HEART girl:) I loved, loved this heart!
On the other hand, I am not surprised because Pink is a symbol of pride and memories:)
My heartfull wishes for a Happy Pink Saturday to you and yours as well.
All of my best,

Hello Dawn, Happy Pink Saturday! What a cute post and a sweet story to go with it. How nice it must have been to teach in the same school your children went too! I always wanted to be a teacher. I was a teachers aid at times over the years.
Thank you so much for always stopping by to see my posts and always leaving such a sweet comment. THank you for your kind words on my colonospy!
Blessings, Shirl
