I had my car detailed Tuesday morning and at the place I go to anyway they put this is funny plastic seat cover over the drivers seat so you arrive in your destination with a dry bum, which is good. When I got home and was pulling the seat cover off so that the upholstry could dry out c said, "Could I have that? Please???" NOOOOOOO! I am the meanest mom. But, I so rarely actually get to throw the garbage away these days and I just needed to put that wet seat cover in the garbage can. I just needed to do it. Ceral boxes.."I need that mom!" Every box UPS brings to the house is a wonder. There are foam peanuts, tissue paper and cardboard enough to make it look like some kind of art/war zone around here.
I just got finished writing on my friend
Circe's blog that c uses everything as an art supply, I knew that she would understand (
see here). Circe is so wise to laugh now and not wait until later. c got some cotton candy for V-Day... did she eat it.. no...she created with it. I wish that I had photos of her entertaining herself for an hour with the stuff. I was a bit sad about that until I remembered what she'd left in her room..
The above pictures are what I found in her room this morning. That was the rest of her candy her nammy gave her. I must have neglected the
don't play with your food lesson. I don't care if she ever eats candy, if she didn't inherit my sugar addiction that would be just great. c insists that she will be an inventor/ engineer. I don't say anything about here career choice except that she needs to do well in math (She did tell me the other day that she was going to have to give up the dream of a college education because long division was too difficult and she told her teacher that if she didn't explain it to her that it would be all the teacher's fault if she didn't get into college. Her teacher told me this laughing hard & c seems to have conquered long division so no worries, college plans are back on track). Anyway, engineer or not she sure has the mind of an artist. And, as much as I complain, secretly I adore finding pink jelly bean hearts in the carpet.

Those jellybeans look so delish. Yum!
I'm so impressed! Usually people who are good at patterns easily tackle math. I struggled with both:/ Either way, what a creative child. I'd love to sample those cinnamon lips (my favorite candy).
I love this post. I think it was a lot of fun to read.
Oh, I love it. Little c has quite a mind. It's great you can appreciate her creativity. And of course you secretly like finding pink jellybeans on the carpet! Great post about your little one.
This is such a deja vu for me! My 24 year old Jeffrey used EVERYTHING in an artisitic way. He is still artisitic and very fun to be around. His homework was always decorated and he would line small objects up for hours.
Fun Fun Fun
c is so adorable! I think it's perfect that she's so creative. You can't learn that. In my case, you can't learn long division either, but I'm glad c has mastered it. She could be anything she wants to be with her determination and creativity. She's lucky to have parents who encourage it.
What a fun post, picures and kid! Love it! And I really loved the valentine that came to my mailbox today! I have pretty ears right this minute! Thank you so much, and I love my tiny little box sooo much too!
Hi, thanks for the messages. I don't about selling photos, I was happily uploading a bunch of them this morning when I saw someone listing something very similar. I got like..."what", I went to check her shop and they do look similar but hers, monocromatic. I got so mad, not because she was coying, but because she is there for quite sometime. I mean, I don't like the idea of being called copy cat of anything that would stink my name. I had the idea myself and I felt really bad about it. So, my idea was not that fresh. Somehow I came up with a similar one...
I pretty tired about making things for others. You need to be on top of the computer many hours to build a network and that sucks. About making cards, I was going to do it, but I am totally off after this morning. I will keep pixieblossoms account, but Etsy is not really working as before...too much people doing similar things...
Btw, love jelly beans!!! So yum!
Tiffany - you have an artiste on your hands - maybe she takes after her mummy in the art department ? :-) :-)
c must get her creativity from you! This post was too funny! Love the photos!!!
Great post - I really enjoyed it!! Your daughter obviously is following in her creative mommy's footsteps!!
And by the way, your post was hilarious. I was laughing all the way through, the first time AND the second time And when I showed my mom!
