I started out with this project wanting to show you how to do watercolor painting with the kids. I said yesterday in my blog we would be using real water colors from tubes not from those little cheap trays you buy in the school supply section. As I started the project I decided the best way to teach this to you was to show you the easiest way first so that you didn’t get frustrated and say no way. So...

What ever the room you admire the art pick it up and return it to the shelf because the price nearly knocked you down. Yes art already done and ready for the walls can be quiet expensive.

I said a few blogs back that I can always tell when a part of my house needs attentions. How do I know because I avoid that area like it’s a germ infested public restroom. I’m mean really I try not to go to that part of the house unless I have to. A few weeks ago I was so busy with the end of year art show, school ending, grades, teaching and so on and so on. I noticed...
