Impromptu "behind the art" session with my kids..

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!!
