Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey, how could I contribute something for the pages of GMG?”
Well there are many ways, you could always join the GMG Flickr Group Pool and add pictures there like many folks have done. You could send in a self-stamped and addressed envelope for a GMG sticker and take pictures on your travels for use here on our pages with Da Sticka.
You could send in uplifting stories from around town for us to share.
But now we have another way to get your kids involved (or if you are a big kid feel free to participate).
The GMG Kid’s Art Project! The premise is pretty simple. You know those rainy days that we are bound to have all through the spring? The ones where your kids are climbing the walls? Have your kids draw a picture and somehow incorporate the Letters GMG or Good Morning Gloucester. Take a picture of it and send it in. I’ll post them as they come in and make a slide show with the names of the young artists on each picture.
It could be a picture of anything as long as it has GMG or Good Morning Gloucester clearly visible on it. Pictures of Lobsters, Seagulls, the Man at The Wheel, A Beach Scene, A Fish- Anything.
How fun would that be?
If there are any art teachers who are looking for art projects for their class I’d love to have entire classes of school kids have their stuff represented and we could post them and give the teachers some props as well! David and Dawn at Art Haven- I’m talking to you too! I know you have the cameras and I know you have the kids there. Bobby Viau-you listening?
The one below was from niece Amanda Mohan to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

I think it is but I could be wrong because of my terrible memory. My niece Amanda had drawn that picture with the GMG on it and either I thought up the idea of having kids send in their pictures with GMG on it or my sister did. I’m about 75% sure i thought of it though.

Joe, What an incredible idea. I’m sure the teachers would love to get the students involved in this. It’s great to include our children in things. Loved Amanda’s drawing. She gets her talent from me

Oh my God, I can’t stop laughing Paul F. & Paul M. Between the two of you, you should start a comedy section. I always love the statements from you two…lol… Cute picture though.

Joe, could I just scan a drawing and post it to the flickr group? My son has a creation he wants to send.
