Show and Tell: a Tuesdays link up

This week, we're starting a brand new link up party called "Show and Tell." There are two things I LOVE about this idea: Getting to share this little blog with other blogger friends (I'll always have guest posts here) and learning more about them, their life, the things they cherish and love most. More than just getting to know more people, I always enjoy developing deeper friendships. So, I'm extremely excited to learn more about my friends' hearts.

Today, I have the pleasure to have Gina from Contemplating Beauty here with us! Gina, you're a wonderful writer with a beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing with us!

Hi everyone! I am Gina and I blog over at Contemplating Beauty, and I couldn't be more excited and humbled that Pamela asked me to guest post today! I blog about anything from my family, my pooch and my faith in God. I discovered that I love to blog because I enjoy sharing my life and experiences with people, and the more I thought about it, I realized that that's because it involves sharing, and connecting with others, so when Pamela asked me to do a post for her Show And Tell, it was the perfect fit! When I'm not blogging you can find me reading, writing, at a flea market, or attending one of the many activities my daughter is in.

What I'd like to share with you today for Show And Tell is this super cool vase my daughter brought home from school that she made. She was in a Ceramics Class last Semester and she rocked it! I was so surprised each week when she'd bring something new home and how good it actually was (even if it wasn't I'd love it just the same)! She picked up ceramics and the wheel so well, that some of her work was on display at school in the showcase for months! I think as parents we always enjoyed receiving homemade goodies from our kids. I for one have always been a fan of it, and that is the reason I was so excited to share this with you today!  My daughter's name is Madelynn and she is 17 years old, and I just cherish anything she makes me. She ended up making me 2 coffee cups, 3 bowls, a pitcher, a plate and this vase. Even the color is perfect! It's special to me because she was thoughtful in her creative process, thinking of me along the way and here's how.Turquoise is one of my favorite colors and she knows I love flowers, so it means a lot to me that she thought of me this way. This little vase and all the other items she made I will cherish forever and they make excellent new additions to our home!

Thanks a bunch Pamela for having me today--it's been a blast, I hope to see you around Contemplating Beauty!

Ciao!
