Art room update :)

I have to start with one of the things Bill has done to support me and take care of the kids........making yummy jello cake. If you have never had this before, it's SUPER easy to make and really good. (white cake, poke holes everywhere with a fork, pour hot strawberry jello all over the cake, let it set in fridge for a few hours, then cover with cool whip)


It's coming along.....slowly :)


My Japanese paper behind all the holes.

Joshua's hideout is a bit more exposed, and it's turning into Eddie's pad for watching Signing Time, which he LOVES.
My wall sculpture. I might end up changing it a bit, but this is it for now. (I made, remodeled, or painted 12 of the plates, it was a fun diversion from organizing for a while)

you are so incredible. you musta gotten the creative stuff from your mom's side or something...cuz i don't know that i got any creative genes from the heinzen side. then again...i think our father's cooking could possibly be considered 'creative'...what do you think? ;). btw...your jell-o poke cake is making me really REALLY want to eat some. that is one of my favorites!

Hey Tara! I haven't visited your blog for a while. You are doing big things! I hope you feel proud of everything you have accomplished, on top of being a mom to those cute kids! Congratulations!

The plate decor is a stroke of genius. Love it. And I finally noticed that there's a clock in the middle AND that they flow like a color spectrum. Way cool!

Tara said...

actually there are two clocks, one on SLC time, and the other on Boston time, (since that is one of the offices Bill will be traveling to every month, the other is Atlanta) Thanks for all the complements people!
