Christmas pictures

This first picture I drew at school. Sometimes if people are finished with all their work, their allowed to get a piece of paper. I drew a pair of bells, and baby Jesus under them.

On my second picture, an orange balloon is floating up to Jesus in Heaven. The balloon's string is tied to the gift.

The last picture says ' Christmas' at the top , and says ' Jesus Christ ' at the bottom. I put some pretty gems on the paper to.

Food and stars

I made these foods out of construction paper. They are a piece of chocolate cake, a fish, spaghetti and sauce, cherry pie, ice cream, a sub, corn dog and pancakes. Below you can see stars. Me and my mom them on a night when Robert and my dad went to a Cyclones game. I picked out my girls. We colored the girls and cut them out. We hot glued the star so it would stay.

Halloween Card for Sarah

I was home from school today, I have a sore throat. I made this with stamps and colored pencils. I'm going to give it to my friend Sarah.

A Story

Mommy Note - Maria spent two days writing this story on her computer. The only altering done was a run through spell check and now it is here for you to enjoy. Mind you she reads a lot but this is pretty creative for a 7 year old. I really don't know how she comes up with this.

The Four Hidden Gems

One morning, Vanessa Hawkins was having breakfast, until a feeling struck her. She was always worried about bumping in to the most strong and popular girl in the whole high school, Gabriella White. She always got mad and yelled. '' Vanessa, It's quarter till eight, start getting ready for school,'' Mom called. Vanessa shot right up from her seat. She started making her lunch. '' Acho!'' sneezed Vanessa’s' brother, Spencer. He had the flu. Vanessa just ignored. '' Vanessa, dear, only ten more minutes. Get ready or you're going to be late, and I know you don't.'' Mom called. Soon, Vanessa was all ready. Her Mom came down the hallway.'' Do you have everything?'' her Mom asked, tilting her head.'' Yes Mom'', grumbled Vanessa, rolling her eyes. '' Make sure you have your-'' '' Time to go!'' interrupted Vanessa. She had her own car and license. She slammed the car door shut. In no time, Vanessa was at school. She walked slowly so she didn’t bump into Gabriella. Then she was at her locker. There was a note that said;
Come to Rock Mountain before Halloween, to find four ancient gems. If you fail, the world will vanish. The world can only survive with the power of the gems. Your body starts to tingle when you are close to one.

Vanessa immediately closed the letter. It was almost Halloween. Only twelve days away. Just then, the bell rang. Ding, ding, ding. '' Hi, Vanessa,'' said Hayly Gamer, Vanessa’s best friend. They were in the same class. '' Hayly, look at this. When I opened my locker, there was this note!'' Vanessa exclaimed.

Hayly read it quickly. '' Oh no, Rock Mountain. I've been there before. You have a great chance of dying.'' breathed Hayly.

Were going to be late for school.'' said Vanessa. Her and Hayly were never late or absent once.

'' Noah, keep your hand down till were finished with morning business'', said Mr. Beal. Sometimes Mr. Beal was strict. Vanessa was bored all day. '' Hayly and Vanessa, please go get your backpacks, and do not talk!'' called Mr. Beal over all the yelling and screaming. Then school was over. Vanessa went straight home to change into ragged clothes. She grabbed the note and ran straight to her car. Soon she was at Rock Mountain. Nobody was there. There were lots of screeches. Vanessa went farther into the forest. Then she saw Rock Mountain, and it really looked like rock. Maybe I should call Hayly, thought Vanessa. She reached in her pocket and dialed 55548769. Soon, Hayly came straight to Rock Mountain. '' Vanessa, let's start looking for those gems!'' said Hayly. Hayly zoomed to Rock Mountain. '' Were close to a gem, because I feel sort of...... tingly, said Vanessa in a shaky voice. '' Oh my gosh! A blue gem!'' exclaimed Hayly, holding the blue gem. It looks beautiful, thought Vanessa. She and Hayly went farther into the forest. '' The Swamp of Death,'' said Hayly, freezing. ''We have to JUMP!!'' screamed Vanessa. Her and Hayly jumped as far as they possibly could. '' I feel tingly again'', said Vanessa. '' Hayly, find sticks, and I'll find rocks, cause we might find a gem in the ground.'' Vanessa told Hayly. When they both came back, they started digging. '' Wow!'' said Vanessa, her eyes wide. '' Another gem'', said Hayly. '' Feel tingly again'', said Vanessa. OO! AA! '' A monkey. It might have another gem''. mumbled Vanessa. '' Ouch''! yelled Vanessa, loudly. '' We have one more gem to find''! said Hayly. The last one was in a tree. '' We found all the gems!'' exclaimed Vanessa. She opened the note. It now said: Congratulations! Go back home and you will find a surprise. You have saved the world by finding the four ancient gems. Vanessa got back in her car. By the front door of her house, there was a ruby, sapphire and diamond.

Happy Store

Did you know I had a Happy Store? I like to take the things I make and put them in my room. Then mom and dad can come and buy anything they like. Today I wrote this :

Mommy note: I found this on the kitchen table today, I had to share it with you. I find little notes like this all over the house. Usually it is a list of her favorite things, or a list of things she may be learning in school, it could be about just anything.

Alien Art and a Treasure Chest

This is a picture of an alien. I used pink pearls, my rainbow pencil, gel pens, colored pencils and scented markers.

This is a picture of my treasure chest that I decorated with stickable jewels and colored with colored pencils.

This is a picture of inside the treasure chest. I colored the inside with silver and pink glitter glue.

This is a picture of all the jewels out of the treasure chest.I have my diamonds and new jewels I got from my birthday a few weeks ago.

Sphinx

Here is a picture of a Sphinx. I cut out the sparkley gold paper and glued it into my sketch pad. I also used my sparkley gel pens. I got the idea to make a sphinx from a picture I saw in the 7th grade classroom in my school.

Girl in Winter and some Cursive

I drew this is school on Monday. It is a girl outside in wintertime.

I have been practicing my cursive. I have a paper that show me what all the letters should look like. we will learn to do cursive in school after the winter break.

Since I wrote in pencil and it's hard to read mommy is going to type it for you too:

Celebrate your birthday at Jump Zone today. We will give you cake and ice cream. You can slide down the a huge firefighter slide! There's a birthday room with a coat hanger and a table. You are welcome to bring in drinks and snaks. Bring in a present and set it on the floor. Thank You.

(Mommy Note: Maria went to a party at Jump Zone last year. I think she is writing about what she remembers from the event, but it reads more like an advertisement.)

My Birthday!

These are very late, my birthday was last week, now I am 7 years old. We had an art party. Everyone got to make a piece of art to take home. This is what I made.

My cousin Emma made one too, but we didn't get a picture of it, She did make this really neat picture with stamps and markers.

I got so many great gifts. A lot of art supplies from Grandma Heringer and Aunt Stacey, Uncle Neil, Colton and Emma. There was glitter glue, pipe cleaners, foam pieces and pom poms, WOW! An outfit and Crayola Explosion toy from Grandpa Bob and Grandma Judy. A Webkinz Orka whale from my best friend Sarah, I named him Nudgie. Aunt Jenn and Micheal gave me $10.00, I'm saving it. Aunt Megan and Uncle Adam gave me a great pink soccer bag, shiny pink soccer ball, pink water bottle, and pink tiebacks for my hair. Also a doggie bank to paint. I already painted it I have to wait for mom to get more batteries so she can take a picture. I had such a great day, and I loved all my gifts.

Rainbow Mountains Secret Place

Here is Rainbow Mountain's secret place. It's rainbow so every time I go there I will enter a new part. The jewels on the trees are fruits, the color of the fruits are different then the color of real fruits. I used Gel Pens for the dirt and I cut out the trees with scissors. The shapes at the bottom where punched out. The shapes of the paper punchers were ovals,circles, but I didn't use the squares or the flowers.

Please come back next time to see more parts of Rainbow Mountain's Secret Place!

Things from Play-Doh

Here are some animals, I made a dog,a seahorse and a fish.At the bottom I have a rose,a cupcake,a jellyfish and a Lego.I used a fake knife to put lines on things.I didn't cut the things out with the knife.

A story

Sketch Band & Crystal the Fairy

I wanted to show you an picture I made last year. It is of a girl band, one plays drums, one plays guitar and one the piano.

I wanted to name this fairy Crystal because she is very shiny and sparkly. You can see how I changed the way I draw after I started reading the rainbow magic books. The drawings in the books had different noses, eyes and mouth. And I started making the necks smaller. I liked the way they looked so I tried to draw them the same way.
