HORSEPOWER & HEELS: Flat Emmy Goes Racing

Flat Emmy Goes Racing

One of my online friends Gloria put out a request on behalf of her niece Emmy, to help with a school project. Emmy drew a flat version of herself to send off on a journey to different places and report back on her experiences with photos and a story.

I offered to take Flat Emmy with me to the races, so Emmy and I are headed off to St. Louis for the World Street Challenge. We'll be traveling 6 hours by car from my home here in Huntsville, AL and I'm hoping to stop along the way to show her some of the sights.

We'll report back on our travels and adventures here too, so you get a play-by-play of the weekend.

Wish us luck!

-Erica and Emmy

Well, its just a way for the kids to see some different places around the world in photos and short stories. They feel like they've traveled to them by having their "Flat-person" drawing in the pictures.

Thanks! and Thanks for reading too!
