This weekend I decided instead of running the usual errands and cleaning the apartment, I would enjoy some time with Lily showing her the world of arts and crafts. I LOVED IT! So nice to not worry about what needs to be done, and focus of just relaxing and letting my creative juices flow. Here are some of the art projects I accomplished this weekend. True, I am no picasso, but there is just something about completing a craft or an art piece that makes me feel happy.

| Painted these clay pots to put in Lily's room. I am going to change up the theme in her room to 'in the garden' and fill these with fake flowers. Lily chose the colors ;) |
 |
| Our family tree. painted the tree and the dots are our thumb prints. Lily's orange, me green and mark red. As we have more children, their thumb prints will go on the canvas as well. |
 |
| Made the board at a church activity, however I finally finished it! Had to use the pink fabric because I ran out of the white, but I think it turned out well. Also got to make a few flowers for lily's hair. So easy to do and very therapeutic. |
Lily also got to complete her first piece of art work. I stole the idea from a friend who had her first child do the same thing, and I wanted to do the same with my first. Such a fun idea! Lily loved it. I splattered some finger paint on a canvas in the bath tub, put lily in there and showed her that the paint spreads when you touch it. She dug right into the paint, rubbing her belly against it and stepping on top of it. Of course she eventually wanted to repaint the bath tub, but the awesome part is it washed away easily. Now we have an amazing memory and art piece we can enjoy for the rest of our lives. Lily is an artist! Que Magnific!
