what do you mean

i have a confession to make, i thumbs up-ed a justin bieber song today on pandora. yep, actually happened.  i was arting-it-out and bopping along to music when this song came on. i thought it was derulo or something. who knows, ok! sorry if that offended anyone, i really am. let's just put it this way, i *NEVER* listen to actual radio, unless trapped in a car, earphones & phone stolen, and forced to listen against my will, and i almost never listen to country, pop, and hip hop (which i am actually trying to incorporate, slowly, a little more of into my pandora). :)
so, after the song had ended and i went to see what had played and thumbs up or thumbs down some songs. i mortified to see what i had been... enjoying. ah well, good song, nice beat. props, boy. 

yeah, well... either way, it was "what do you mean".

there was no art journaling to be hand in my house last night. nope, there was a school project for my son. and, as i am ever the procrastinator (well!! some of my best work has been completed under pressure), we were putting it together the night before it was due. hey, how hard could a model castle be?  O.o

and since i have a four year old, we HAD to make her something while we made something for her brother. yeah, seems legit. so, they and daddy built a castle and a "store". then i helped them paint. we had a lot of fun, very much a family craft night.

my son's project. this morning, the finished product had labels on pretty much everything but i wasn't taking pictures that early.  nope.  :)

castle project for reading class.

and this is ari's small store.  

yeah, i already removed the toothpick flag.
within about 1 minute i had envisioned about a
million ways she could hurt herself or maim any one of us.

and so, that's it for art in my studio yesterday. today i have actual spilling going on, so i may or may not have a post tomorrow.

happy friday!
