I am making a splatter painting for his birthday in August. Last night was color # 1 which formed the base. Molly says it looks like baby poop and that I need to get more color on it fast!
Tonight I added the second color. There are three more colors to go! I am letting the colors dry before applying the next color.

I love the sounds of trickling water and so does Poo as evidenced by his filtered water fountain. This week I have been researching how to make a water fountain as a final item for the courtyard patio garden.
Below are some of the resources I have been checking out:

Lastly... This was a link I ran across last week from someone's blog. I thought I would share it! Not for the faint of heart is the Tampon Crafts site. This really shows some creativity. I aspire to be this creative......
