You Don't See That Every Day

As I am slowly going through everything in the house and slowly throwing things out, of giving things away, that we don't need, I have been struck by an idea to redo the wall art also. (Some of it, not all of it, don't worry husband!) I came across this family tree one day while browsing pinterest and was really struck by it. So later next week a friend is coming by to help draw it on the wall. When I first mentioned it to my husband he had a chuckle, thinking I was going to put the entire family tree on the wall. He figured it would take over the ceiling and move into the next room. I suppose if I did do all my siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles, then yes, it would engulf the house. I've got a couple of photos ready to go up there; but I will probably be searching for some more of our ancestry. I'm not sure how far back I will go either. I guess it kind of depends on what photos I can come up with. So if any of my family members have some grandparent...

the Swimmer Girl's art pictures by M and M I saw a picture of this art project on my facebook the other day, and I thought it looked like a fun and simple project to try. So we got out the pop bottles and markers and paint and went to work. I guess we don't have the right size pop bottles - because the 2 liter kind are just too large. So we used a small round brush instead. Miss K and mine And this is what my girls came up with. I think it's quite apropos especially with the cherry trees blossoming around our town.
