A Coffee Can Named Rascal

Ashley had the type of school project last week that makes me cringe inside.  The instructions were for her to decorate a coffee can to resemble a character in a book she likes.  Then write facts about that character on strips of paper to place inside the can.   I am no where near artistic enough to decorate a coffee can like anything.  

Thankfully, Ashley doesn't take after me!  This was a project she couldn't wait to tackle.  The character she chose was "Rascal" in the book by the same name in The Puppy Place series.  Yes, Rascal is a dog - a Jack Russell Terrier.  

She did a wonderful job without any parental help. And most importantly, she LOVED doing it and was very proud of herself!  I'm beginning to think Ashley might have a special talent for things artistic.
