First off.. can I tell you ALL HOW EXCITED I AM IT"S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!
I have been looking forward to this EXACT day for almost 6 months!!! I am heading to Logan Utah for some much needed R&R with my "trues"- my closest and dearest friends! We are gathering from all over the United States to relax, create art and get messy, eat.. sleep in.. stay up late.. if it's fun and relaxing. we are doing to do it! We have 5 days to just hang out together. NO plans. no set plans to do anything but just enjoy each others company. Seriously.. we all need this. I NEED THIS SO BAD. I miss my friends. It's hard when your best friends live so far away.. but so wonderful when you get to spend that time with them! Can't wait! So while I am heading in in just a few hours.. I had to come and post this!
So.. last week.. I was out in my garage/Art studio.. creating a video for the upcoming 3 Hearts Workshop.. to post here on the blog.. to show you the difference in journals, and gessos, etc.. to get ready! Well I had been taping for a while when my kids came in from playing outside and one by one headed into the garage to get "treats" out of the freezer. They were trying to be quiet and not be "noticeable" on the video.. they just wanted to get their treats and head out.. and then they saw what I was doing and somehow it ended up in an impromptu art session with my kids. Anyhow.. before I say too much more.. Just watch the video.. it explains it all..
Gotta love kids!!
thanks for letting me share.. kinda dorky I know.. but it's just fun how your kids can get involved in art too!
Speaking of ART... one of my fabulous designers for the Scarlet Lime website. May Flaum... . did a great video canvas tutorial using some product you probably already have!
if you haven't seen it.. or checked it out.. YOU MUST go watch it on the Scarlet Lime Blog.. AND if you don't visit the Scarlet Lime Blog.. you SHOULD! SO much fun stuff going on.. giveaways, challenges.. art tutorials.. papercrafting tutorials.. I post on there once a while too! But my designers ROCK! another great place to grab inspiration!
Go check it out.. here is her post! leave her some love.. this is her first video for me!! She ROCKED IT!
Well.. I HOPE you all have a wonderful and fabulous weekend.. I know I will be.. my heart is very happy right now!
Hope yours is too!
Happy Friday!
love love love...
you..
see you soon!

What a wonderful video!! I know one thing's for sure--if i was a kid living there, i'd sneak into the studio at night and play with all of the fun crafty stuff all night long - and probably eat all of the ice cream!

That is so cute!!! Your kids are so much fun Christy and I loved your video with them in it :) My lil guy is an artist as well and I also cringe when he wants to use my good supplies, so I could totally relate to that comment. Have fun while your away, enjoy life to the fullest :)

I LOVE this video!! :-D Your kids are so cute. I miss being a teacher when I see this. I have to start crafting with my daughter again. (We took a break from it since we are both stubborn and she always "aready know how to do that". ;-) )
I hope you are having a great trip!!
Hugs!
