By Mike Tindell · Comments (0)

Easter clipart can only make your holiday season a whole lot better, actually there are many as well amongst the srapbooking freebies if you want it memorable or like scrapbooking. Coming up with some Easter clipart will be a fun method to make some cards and if not, you can plainly get together with your children and have fun while drawing and or even better, using watercolor painting. Easter is a season of good urge, so the more colored and brighter your clipart is, the better. A tip: at the and, if the children like them, you can even decorate the kids closet organizer or other furnitures in their room with these cards or drawings for the holiday season! You can get numerous ideas for Easter clipart from the internet. Easter bunny rabbits in pastel blues, greens, yellows and browns, Easter eggs with vivid designs and a touch of gold, plus silver on them, crosses decorated with flowering vines, chicks, baskets of goodies and rich backgrounds with  Happy Easter  written across it, are a few of the thousands of Easter clipart ideas. 

You can start your Easter clipart by penciling the design on the paper. If you are not too positive, you can do a couple of rough sketches early. Easter clipart most frequently depict fun and good will. Then you can easilt draw them with solid lines and you do not have to worry about how bad an artist you are. You are even free to copy some Easter clipart from the World Wide Web, not only by printing them out, but looking at them and drawing by yourself.

After you have the penciled picture you can start coloring it in all potential eye catching tones. Easter clipart is more like drawing cartoons. Yet if you want to picture more important subjects such as Jesus Christ risen from death, you can do so. An Easter clipart created by your very hands will bring value to the cards you send rather than buying a printed card from the bookshop. You can also have your own Easter poems written on the inner side of the cards.

As for children, let them come up with their own Easter clipart. You, as an adult can tell them a few of Easter stories and give them ideas as to what they should draw. Matching bright shades is brilliantly done by the children. Also, try decorating the clipart with silver and gold edgings. A bit of dust sprinkled will give an eye-catching effect.

You can decorate egg-holders and gift baskets with the Easter clipart you draw. The possibilities are limitless if you can use your vision. After all, Easter is a holiday that is meant for families to get together and spread the love, hope and peace of Jesus  resurrection.

Later on this year my daughter is off on a school trip to Spain.

She is really very excited about this as her and her mates will be staying in Barcelona, which is a place she has always wanted to stay in. 

I will admit that when she first gave me the letter detailing the trip, I was quite flabbergasted by the price of the flights and accommodation.    In all honesty for what we have paid for a 5 day trip for her, I could have easily booked a 2 week all inclusive holiday somewhere nice and hot.

You know what kids are like though and if she doesn’t go she will feel like she is missing out on something and it will do her good to experience the Spanish way of life.   They will actually be attending a Spanish school whilst they are out there and so will have to use Spanish during lessons.  Bearing in mind that she has only been studying Spanish for just over a year, she seems to be doing a pretty good job.  Although she has managed to learn a great amount, as with any foreign language there is still lots more to learn.

Last week during class their lesson for the day was translating various phrases.

The first phrase the class had to have a go at translating was Mexican takeaways.   I was pretty impressed as she got this one right, and the Spanish translation is takeaways mejicanos.  Next on her list was Japanese takeaway, which when translated into Spanish is takeaway japones and Japanese restaurant is restaurante japones.

Like any mother though, I have quite a few worries about her forthcoming trip.    How well will she behave?  Will her carers and teachers take good care of her and keep an eye out for her?  Will there be any disagreements with the girls she is sharing her room with?   The list is pretty exhaustive.    However, one thing I know I don’t have to worry about is if she will go hungry.  At least I know that if all else fails she knows the Spanish for Japanese and Mexican takeaways, so as long as she can find a phone she can always order some food!!

Well when model kits first hit the mainstream market in the 60s it has to be said that they were mainly about getting together as a family and building whatever model you actually bought but things have changes a lot since then.

 

It would certainly seem that after a short time people really started to get a little bit bored with model kits because the same kinds of things were constantly being released and people just did not want to spend money on it, this is when the model companies started to see another potential and this potential changed model kits forever from this point. This is until major television programmes such as Star Trek which was first released in 1966 started to ship model kits to stores. The fans of franchises like this felt very strongly for them which is why the models were immediate successes. On top of this it would seem that when other franchises came along such as Star Wars, more and more people started to get interested in model kits.

 

Has Sci-Fi Saved Model Kits?

 

I think that it is more than true to say that without selling many Sci-Fi model kits there would be no way that some model companies would still be around today. It is very true to say that people are much more interested in models to do with movies and franchises than they are of model ships nowadays but this is not a bad thing.

 

Now there are all kinds of models around that are out there because of Sci-Fi franchises such as RC helicoptersand RC tanks from the terminator films to crazy figures from movies such as Star Wars. There have also been many Lego kits created around franchises and although Lego do not want to do this it seems they are selling the best.

So there you have it really, think of what you want when it comes to this but I have to say Sci-Fi has made a big difference.

When you’re the parent of a growing young woman, it can be difficult to gain insight into what she is thinking and why she responds to the world the way that she does. It’s not easy for her to figure out exactly where she belongs and who she is. It’s a process that can be conflicting, confusing, and exciting all at the same time.

When she was just a little one, things were a bit simpler. From baby cribs to little girl dresses, it was easier for you to parent her. The whole world was so brand new that you could watch her take it all in and understand her. As she started to grow up, somewhere along the line, things changed.

Her girls sweatshirts have been tossed into a bin somewhere and she suddenly dresses like she’s part of the underworld. Her life is changing so fast that she may not wake up the same person tomorrow as she presents to you today. Her thoughts change dramatically and you’re just expected to keep up.

Today, her shirts for girls are really shirts for women. Her musical tastes have gone from that cute bubble gum pop to harder selections that sound angry. You wonder if she’s doing Okay but you’re not really sure how to ask her. You’re just like every other parent of a young woman.

Of course, you are not the only parent to explore this rather difficult time. We all watch our daughters struggle to find out more about themselves and how they fit into the big picture. Their drama seems to be increasing while their thoughts turn to more intense ideas than we could ever really imagine. It’s frightening and yet perfectly natural.

In the past ten or so years there has been a significant increase in the speed at which girls mature. With surprising speed, a little girl is suddenly looking like a young woman before she even reaches her teens. She keeps you at bay because she isn’t completely sure whose side you’re on.

Her struggle for her own identity will continue on and you will have to develop a bit of faith in her process. Women’s roles are undefined. This means that she can try out a wide variety of potential lives before she even turns 15. You can only be there to guide her and to love her. Respecting the fact that she is growing fast and furiously will help the two of you stay connected.
