Budding artist? :)

So actually got off pinterest long enough to do a crafty project. :) so excited how this turned out. We've needed something to spice up our wall for a long time.

This was so easy and inexpensive. I just got 3 foam boards from hobby lobby for $1.60 each and some acrylic paints. I used a ruler to mark dots with a pencil 2 inches apart on the boards. I mixed the paints into the shades I wanted and used a potato stamp (half a potato cut so there's a raised circle on it) to make the dots. For now we just hung them up on the wall as is, but we're going to go to home depot and get some plexiglass cut to the right size and use some studio clips to make it classier. Turned out pretty cool if I do say so myself. :)

4th of July

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! And making awesome jello just made it that much better. BBQ with friends, jello, and fireworks seems to be all I need in life. :)
