you believe it s the 16th year dot day has been celebrated yes time does fly and i can tell you in my world it often feels like it flies at light speed that s why this is a write on the fly post about this year s dot day it s been on my to do list for two weeks and squeezing it in at that oh well honestly i m just glad we found time to celebrate it at all yep that s the way things are going considering all that this year s post will basically be the basics getting right down to business i m sure you won t mind since my bet is your life flies by pretty fast too my grandgirls charlotte who is now 8 and nora is 4 1 2 can you believe it are more creative than ever and continue to impress me charlotte had her idea brewing before hand so tackled hers as soon as we sat nora had recently done a beautiful drawing of a sunset so that s what she decided on i d found some colorful tissue and mylar so that was incorporated and a dollar store hawaiian lei had broken the day before so the loose flowers were a perfect tool ️ i cut paper strips for nora to use as cirrus clouds she decided the grass would be silhouette black and had a ball doing it and i was really impressed when charlotte noticed that the petals of the lei flowers resembled seashells as for mine i couldn t stretch my creative brain to go beyond a simple hand painted version of my official 2025 dot so there you have it our little celebration of one of my favorite days of the year and as always i will happily mention the interviews i got to do with peter and paul reynolds and terry shay plus share the links to our previous dots 2014 terry shay 2015 2016 2017 2018 with peter and paul 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 and 2024 happy belated dot day everyone p s i hope at some point i will complete and intended post on the
