Danica wrote to share that she and her little brother found Canvas #215 in a park called Old Orchard Park. I have it listed as belonging to Ms. Croy, who asked for a bunch of canvases for her class, but never received an e-mail from her, telling her story! So it's a mystery as to who actually made this canvas!
Here's what Danica said, My 8 year old brother found this and asked me if he could keep it, I asked if there was a name on it.He said no so I said "Why not?" He got so excited and I was happy to see him so happy so in the end everybody was happy! When we got home he told our parents and we put it up in his room. We found this awhile back, but I just saw the back and I checked out the website and I noticed that mine didn't say "this is for you on it" Maybe it came off? Anyways this was really cool and I was happy to see my brother happy so thank you :)

Canvas #292: a dentist's office, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Ginny is a hilarious, incredibly warm woman who is currently battling cancer. Ginny writes, I am so sorry that it has taken me months - not 1 month like it should have - to finally finish my canvas and take it somewhere to give it away. I just had the worst time liking what I'd begun and so then I'd scrape it all off and begin again- I did that process 3 times!!!! I'm hoping that maybe you'll accept my excuse: I was awfully sick with my Chemo treatments. I spent days at a time, during each 3 week treatment cycle, lying in bed sleeping and watching TV. I was extremely exhausted like nothing I've ever felt before - for 3, 4 or sometimes days 5 in those weeks, to get up out of bed and down the stairs from my bedroom to the main floor and then back up to bed was more that I could do in a day.
So my canvas lingered, along with other major parts of my life. I don't remember much of the last half of winter and most of spring. I was worried that you wouldn't accept the canvas if it was this late BUT I went ahead and finished it and put it out into the World anyways. [Editor's Note: We wouldn't DREAM of refusing a canvas past the deadline! Creativity is creativity is creativity. If any of you who are reading have a canvas past the deadline and are wondering if it will still be accepted, the answer is YES! Send it in!!!] I hope that it's was okay to do so. I left it at my Dentist's office, took some pics and "kissed it good-bye"! I am glad that I did this though and appreciate the work that you have put into the project.
p.s. I have surgery tomorrow to get the tumours OUT!!! Wish me luck!
Let's all send Ginny some positive vibes, shall we? Huge amounts of luck to her!!!! Ginny needs to be cancer free NOW! Fingers crossed!!!

Canvas #241: Orlando Airport, Orlando, Florida, USA
Avery is one of Ms. Currie's students. I am so happy to see these canvases created by kids going so far in the world!
She writes, My name is Avery and I am in Grade 3. I painted this canvas at school. I knew I was going on a vacation to visit an aunt in Florida. So I colored a picture to say "Hi" to my friends in the USA. I'm from Canada. I left my canvas in the Orlando Airport in between the bushes beside a sitting area. It's not easy to see. I hope someday a bored traveler will discover my canvas and make them smile.
How awesome is Avery?! I am so thrilled to see these kids being the change they want to see in the world!

Canvas #280, a park, Seoul, South Korean
Vanessa's a teacher in Soul, South Korea. She writes, I know that it has been more than a month, I hope you will still accept it! I completed this with my grade 4 class... each person drew one star. We came up with the idea all together.
What a lovely idea for Vanessa and her students to do together!!

Canvas #196: the biological sciences building, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Kim's message to the future doctors of our society is such a welcome reminder!
She writes, I put the canvas where our 'up and coming' doctors and scientists will see it, when handing in assignments. It is my hope that our loved ones, studying so hard, will remember to take the time to do what makes them happy, outside of school work.
Kim is such a beautiful soul and this artwork definitely reflects what an amazing person she is!

Canvas #276: FOUND! A Tim Hortons, Merritt, British Columbia, Canada
It seems that lots of canvases have been found lately! Love that people are taking the time to write in about their finds.
Here's what Ashy said: My little niece Ashy found this canvas as we walked in to our usual coffee destination. Her eyes lit up and she gasped, "What is that!?" She picked it up and asked us to read it to her. She clung to it for the remainder of our stay and brought it home with her. All the while asking why it was there, what do we do with it, and who put it there. She seemed quite excited and would like to make one of her own to surprise someone else. <3
Isn't Ashy so cute with the little canvas?! Love!
