painted rocks.

lucy and i like to play a little game where i let her click through my pinterest boards and then she picks something we can make together.  last weekend she decided on painted rocks.  considering my kids hand me an endless supply of rocks wherever we go to put in my pocket or my purse or the stroller or... you get the point.  needless to say, we had all the materials on hand for this one.  

i painted these three...

then, since i was feeling wildly outside my comfort zone (or really due to peer pressure from lucy that my rocks were boring and needed some color), i spruced one up a bit...

and i am happy to say that not only are they pretty, they can be quite useful.

bringing back the paper weight.

everyone can be expecting these for christmas...

and, one next to my bed just for good measure...

made anything fun from pinterest lately?

brainstorm

 i love these atlas prints

from brainstorm print and design.

i would love to have the whole set

to hang in my kids' room.

PAM

i love the phoenix art museum.

if you've never been, put it on your calendar.

it won't disappoint.

and, whatever you see, be sure

you don't miss

"you who are getting obliterated

 in the dancing swarm of fireflies."

its magical and wonderful

and if you are with a small child

and they walk out saying, "let's do it again"

you will gladly oblige, as you were just thinking

 the very same thing.

and here's a little secret...

they are open on wednesdays from 3-9

for free.

wonderland.

i am absolutely in love with this concept...

taking a picture based on a childs' drawing.

genius.

add this to one of those

"why didn't i think of that" moments.
