To everyone who participated, thanks for joining the fun! If you missed it, jump in next week by:

+ finding the three words (they’ll be posted on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter),
+ mixing them up in your own picture, and
+ sharing your image with the hashtag #SCDrawWithMe

Usually this project will be solely on Social Media, but we’re posting it on the blog this week to give an example of how it will work.

As a reminder, this week’s items were “flying,” “box,” and “dragon.”

Here’s a time-lapse video of Brady’s offering:
