Go on a walk with me @ the CrEaTiVe Gardens... shoes... bikes...

Starting with
cylinder & pyramid trees...


shoe trellis...

shoe wave...

 cozy bedroom ...

dancing bikes... 

hanging trees...

Oriental gardens... and the poser


the walk is over.

My kids and I rode our bikes by this hilariously fun garden on the BYU-I campus almost every day in the Summer and I never took photos. 
 Finally, before the snow falls- taken from my phone :)

A sneak PEEK...

So... school has started up again for my kiddos... and that means... more art projects at school! 
Each child in 3rd grade is painting 2 paper shapes for our collaborative painting. You're going to love what it looks like when it's together!




It's all about them!

Can you guess what our theme is?

Sharing the last featured project "Artsy-Crafty Afternoon" - one winner of my ArTsY - CrAfTy GIVEAWAY

What a sweet project by Simple Sayings to do with your family so they can each express themselves in a "mini me" form with unlimited materials and ideas!




Here are her kids at work, adding their own personality to the paper figures... Initially this was a kindergarten project that turned out to be a family event - what a great idea and super fun for everyone...I want to make some too with my kids! Maybe I can get my husband to make his own also?

My favorite words I read from Simple Sayings' post were... "I was proud of their creativity and remembered how much I love doing things with my kids."



Thank you so much for sharing Simple Sayings!

Featured Giveaway Winner Project! -Artsy Crafty Afternoon

I love this messy art project with washable paints shared by Honey Mommy...



... Posted on my CrAfTy-ArTsY Challenge, this looks like a very kid and adult friendly paint project, and the best part is you can wash it off and put it back in the closet for another day!


Honey Mommy says, "We tried to mix paint with water and put it in some squirt guns, like I saw in Family Fun magazine, but it wasn't as colorful as we wanted it to be. So then we got out some pie tins and got our hands dirty."


Thanks for sharing Honey Mommy!
