Alphabets

Alphabets is a good theme for Illustration Friday- I should do an Alphabet- I'm posting a "Sad Back To School Fairy" in case the alphabet doesn't show up.

Have a wonderful weekend-week... !

Ah, yes .... Back to school and all that it means for children, parents and teachers. There's a bit of joy as well as sadness for any of the above. The illustration is just beautiful.

Ooh, yes! That's a great idea! It took me back to those tender years when I was struggling with the alphabeth and books :) all that jazz, so to speak, all that I loved and still do.

I think I have three of those 'sad back to school fairies' at my house this week! Really a great illustration. I love your style!

So cute! My kids aren't sad about it... yet. Once the homework pile grows, that may change!
