Coloring Birdies, and Painting Pottery

In case you haven't noticed, I love Eden's blog.
Last week, she did one of her awesome birdie drawings,
and decided to stop at the line drawing, 
letting us color in the little guys ourselves!!
YAY!
I needed an activity where all I needed to do was
sift through my box of markers and color.
This picture doesn't show it, but the birdies "skin" is colored using sparkly gel pens.
Thanks Eden for this fun little activity. I loved it!

This weekend I went to Annapolis with some friends
to paint some pottery. I've never done that before, and it was F-U-N
My friends knew I desperately needed a fun day, 
and they are sweet enough to make it an arty day.
