We had pizza casserole for dinner last night, I highly recommend, the kids loved it and I liked it too. I don't have a recipe because I just threw it together but I'm sure it would be easy to find one.

 

 

Yesterday I woke up and decided it was time for some new art.

This is a picture that I painted last year.

I wanted something lighter and blue. I had blue paint from Ben's room so I mixed it with white to get this light blue color. I already had white and grey paint and I just used a sponge paint brush.



I have to say I kind of like it.

 

This picture was my inspiration, but I think I like my art better. I don't consider myself an artist but I am a decent copycat. To be a good artist you have to have skill and know how to see. I just know how to see. Just like you have to have skill and be able to feel to be a good writer, I have no skill just feelings.

Yesterday I went to Williams-Sonoma to get the best waffle mix I've ever had for Easter morning, and to get there I had to walk through Pottery Barn. They had these pretty metallic shells but they were expensive. So I thought I could make shells like that. I have shells at home and silver metallic spray paint. These are the ones I made.

 



Also, I got a new mirror for our bedroom to replace an old flower picture.

I guess it was a decorating kind of day. Since the art I painted was free, and the shells were free, I didn't feel so bad about spending money on a mirror that was less than $30.

The best thing about the mirror is it's depth and texture.
