In art we are working on paper mache sculptures of our initials in jr. high and in elementary we are looking at Picasso's cubism style and painting his daughter Maya holding a sailboat. This is where I got some inspiration for my monsters from Picasso.
Just sharing this book that I love, by Traci Bautista. Not feeling very inspired so I think I am going to go shopping.
these are monster chunky book pages for a swap. I think I am not really inspired by monsters, so I struggled with this one. Glad that they are just about done and I can pack them up and send them off, because I dreaded doing them yet I wanted to get them done and get past them. I think I am all caught up on swaps for now, except the vintage indie swap and I need to find something spriny and tangeriny and vintagy for my swap partner.
I popped into the new thriftstore lastnight while Emma was at practice and I found these beautiful blue soap eggs, couldn't pass them up. They smell great too. 
I also found these for $4 each. They still have their anthropologie tags on them for $20, so I think I got a deal. Not sure where I am going to put them yet
and I couldn't pass up this little blue vase. I'm a sucker for ceramics. I love the Goodwill.
These are from Sunday also. I scrapped with Maureen and Doreen at the Bee. I was so inspired by Donna Salazar's use of corrigated cardboard, that I just had to try it. You should see the texture that it creates on your scrap page. Thanks for the inspiration Donna. You should see her layout. Not sure that it is acid free, but as we say in art, "break the rules, be creative."
Aren't these the cutest birds ever. I found them at the Red Bee, they have all their Spring stuff out. I just couldn't leave the store on Sunday without one or 5 in my hand.
Oh my! It's March already. I can't believe how the time has flown. I worked on a few swap projects yesterday. It was so gloomy and now today is so sunny. Spring is working it's way in. So perfect timing for some Spring projects. This is a birdhouse that I picked up from a thriftstore and I altered it with paint, paper and trim. It's for the "Bling your Birdhouse" Blog Event on March 27th. I am still working on it, not quite done, but not sure yet what it needs. Maybe a little bird?
and these are for the St. Pat's Day Tag Swap on Karla's Blog. Hence the greenness. What projects are you working on for March?
This is a paper mache sculpture of a bowl of ice cream done by Megan (8th grade) in art class last week. The sprinkles are cut up pieces of color coated wire. 
...and this is Henry's cake that we made for his birthday. He wanted a race track with smashed up cars.
