I was incredibly thankful for my job, where I get to be creative, and which I worked so hard to get. And thankful for the sun, that we so rarely see during the rainy season. We just all feel better when the weather is beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I have made recently, with the help of my four-year-old, is a collection of lovebug pins that I found instructions for <a href=\"http:\/\/crafts.kaboose.com\/love-bug-pin.html\">online<\/a>. I apologize in advance if you aren&#8217;t in my daughter&#8217;s preschool class, because you&#8217;ll have to make your own :). We had fun! She has been looking forward to Valentine&#8217;s Day since last year&#8230;that preschool party had a lasting impact. So I decided to let her pick any craft off the website, and this was the one. It involved a trip to a few craft\/dollar stores, but otherwise wasn&#8217;t too challenging. Though you should allow a week or at least about 4 days for this to dry in its various stages, and we learned that washable paint is probably not the best choice for painting plaster.<\/p>\n<p>Now to finish counting down the days till she can hand them out to her friends&#8230;five days seems like an eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t posted much lately, because I haven&#8217;t been feeling very well, and as a result, I haven&#8217;t been making art really since I finished the painting streak right before the art show.
