remember paint by numbers?I grew up
spending countless hours filling in the
numbered spaces with paint
until
every last white space was filled
and a painted picture magically
appeared
i wish i still had all of mine 
well my daughter discovered
the magic
and has been painting
up a storm
this time i will keep every last one
of her masterpieces
{she was so focused on her painting that she didn't even know i snapped this photo}

Thanks for your kind comments Koralee. This photo of your daughter is very special! Julie
Koralee, I'm right there with you! I too spent many hours with *paint by number*. I know it's made a come back but I haven't looked too closely at it yet. I will have to do that though. Boy, wouldn't it be great to have all of our creations from our childhoods?!

This is a verycute blog- will come back later to stroll!
Love paint by numbers...and your daughters is coming out beautifully.
WOW, your daughter is an amazing artist, really..she did all of that herself? I am always in awe of those that can draw, my brother stole all of those abilities from me...! :) hope you had a great weekend and cherish these paintings forever!
I loved these as a kid! Sadly, I didn't keep any of them. How great that you will hang on to these for your daughter!!
Lovely post!!

She's really good!!! Even with paint-by-numbers, my pictures don't always look right...I think some people have the artist gene and some people don't.
Beautiful snapshot of her!
Yes, I remember! Thanks for reminding me about it. How lucky she is that she has you to save all of these.
Oh yes! I remember with great pleasure the many hours I spent painting by number! Those were such relaxing peaceful hours! Now your daughter is spending precious moments of enjoyment. (She's a beauty! And so is her artwork!)
A wonderful lifetime memory!! x
I used to love paint by numbers - although I was never very good at it. Your pictures turned out really well.
Some paint-by-number paintings are actually worth a lot of money now...they are a really great teaching tool for a beginner I reckon!:o)
