Crayon Art but Not Like That

If you have ever explored Pinterest in any capacity then you probably have seen this project.  It is extremely popular and for good reason.  The minute I saw it I wanted to do it and B and I had so much fun doing it.

Hot glue those suckers on.

I have to admit I stressed about getting the rainbow right and then I had a glass of wine and realized B is two (Almost three.  I can't think about it).  Close is good enough.  

Make sure you have something under and behind the canvas.

He was impressed.

It is so easy even a two year old (Almost three. Gasping for air.) can do it!  Seriously, though, I love how this looks no matter how unoriginal it is.

This was a no pants and sunglasses craft. Mandatory.

Some cool over the top crayon action.

Bonus drips!

Finito.  I am going to Italy this summer so I am practicing.  Finito.

There it is in action.

Love it.

Love in a box.

Happy (day after) Valentine's Day

Sean and I don't really do Valentine's Day...not more than a card usually.  But with nearly every blog posting Valentine's ideas for weeks I was bound to find inspiration in something.  In some post I glanced at a card that said "Everyday I Choose You".   I didn't think much of it at the time (which is why I can't tell you where I saw it...I wish I could) but the quote kept coming back to me.  I really love how it sounds.  So I stepped it up this year and I painted this little box for Sean and baked him some heart shaped, gluten free, chocolate chip cookies.  I also threw a gift card to his favorite lunch spot (Chipotle) in the card.


I thought the expression was pretty perfect.  Sean (jokingly) said something along the lines of, "So every day you doubt having chosen me and have to make sure ?"  My romantic.
