Painting a Mermaid

We used a gift certificate this rainy Saturday morning to paint some pottery. (thanks Leigh!) Peanut, of course, wanted to paint a princess. When she saw this mermaid, she had to paint it. I thought we would have issues with leaving it to be fired, but she was okay with it. She did insist that we go back and get the tile that was the gift certificate when I walked out without it. "It's my birthday present. Momma, you forgot my birthday present."
