Christmas Painting Present

Nope, it's not what you think. My niece wanted acrylic paint and I didn't want to decide the brand, type, or colors in case she had something specific in mind. On Christmas Eve, I decided to paint up some trading cards that she could trade for the actual paint when we went on a shopping trip. I had fun doing this, although the experience really made me a fan of red and less of a fan of yellow. The longer the word, the harder it was to fit and paint around. Each of the cards was something like 5 inches long.

I wrote up a card for her and tucked the trading cards in that. Since I was on a roll and feeling silly, I decided to write on the back of the card. Coupons always have so many legalistic warnings that a grabbed one and copied the warnings with a few revisions on the back of the it. 

I also gave her one of the Masterson's sta wet palette and a few other supplies. Yesterday, we went shopping and got her the paint! I hope she has fun playing with it.
