Mid-20's crisis?

I think I am having a mid-20's crisis. I keep remembering the "good ol days" as if they were really that long ago. haha :0)  So, to make myself feel better/younger and also to celebrate 12lbs lost in these past 5 weeks... I went out and got my hair done up like I used to have it.

When all else fails....

turn it into mixed media and pretend it was on purpose. I am not a great painter. I never know what to paint! I am very random and never have a goal in mind when I get artsy. So, when my painting didn't end up looking like anything I was proud of, I added "my" touch to it.... in other words I stuck my scrapbooking supplies all over it and made mixed media~!  I love how it came out. :0)

Project Fair - Practice Photoshoot

Scott choose Photography for his school's Project Fair. I taught him a few basics. Here are a few nice photos out of his practice shoot.

Kickin' it oldskool....

Came across some of my old pix.... such fun to go back a few years, but it's still hard to believe I'm so far out of my teen years already :0/

A new SPIN on Easter

Saw it in the store... thought it looked easier then sitting and waiting while an egg swims in food dye. Outcome you ask? Eh, they looked alright but were very sticky! More like paint then dye.

We opted out of the traditional egg hunt at home. This year we did a treasure hunt instead... and not just ANY ol' treasure hunt would do. We used lyrics to guide us where to go! At each correct destination, you had to search for a green post-it... which was returned to me, Momma, for your prize (which was NOT given in an Easter basket this year... we changed that also). I opened up Itunes and played only the part of the song which held his clue. This was SOOOOOO much fun! Definatly something we will repeat!

Some of the lyrics/clues we had were...... (there were 20 in total)
1. "Now I lay me down to sleep" from Enter Sandman - Hidden within his pillow case
2. "It's five o'clock somewhere" from It's five o'clock somewhere duh lol - Hidden underneath his alarm clock
3. "Now that it's raining more then ever....." from Umbrella - Behind his umbrella :0)
4. "Here in this diary...." from In this diary - Hidden within a page of one of the four Vampire Diaries books :0) This was his last and most difficult to find clue. haha



Then, off we headed to Gram's of course! Lots of food and fun. :0)

Pixies and Faeries and Bugs... OH MY!

Some more recent art.... I appologize for the last sketch as my scanner doesnt pick up colored pencils very well... lesson learned. :0/

Happy St. Harley Day!
