Art night

Hey guess what. My art room is a few steps closer to being functional for art classes! And to try it out, I had a few little visitors show up on the night before the "snow day" that Louisiana celebrated, despite no actual snow! You know I love em because I shared my canvases with them!
Miss Gabbi Goo decided to get involved also. And my life got better... the TV in my art room now works, and Lifetime comes in loud and clear!!
Hey Breanna, check out my ribbon storage! It isn't what we'd planned, but I like that it is on rollers, so we can wheel it out and in when my art peeps need a little ribbon for their scrapbooks. It frees up the wall for more built ins, and ... see that brown cabinet? well, I almost have it empty! I think I may be able to move it out too! Whatcha think, Breanna?! PLease come home! I need you. I am not an organizer !
Oh, hello there, Bloggers! I'm back!
Blondie there is Gracie.
Emma Lou travels in a pack! This is Katelyn.
And of course, you know Emma Lou.
And you KNOW Ellie wasnt' going to let an art night get past her!
Talk about an art project... how bout that upper lip!? Snot, chapped lips, dried chocolate.... you name it and I think it's on there! We'll just call it a collage and let that be the end of it.
She has learned to use a glue stick. And she thinks a stapler is the bomb! Her art repertoire is really increasing!
And that's all for tonight! Just really fired up that I have an art room to spread out in!
Looking forward to an art retreat soon!

Your art room looks great, and I love it that the girls all want to get artsy. You're inspiring and encouraging their artistic talents. Who knows? If I'd had that kind of encouragement when I was growing up, I might not be so creativity-challenged today. lol

P.S. Aren't you proud of me for getting back into the blog-hopping and commenting? I'm trying to do better. ;-)

I see two little girlies following in their momma's footsteps when it comes to arts & crafts. Too cute!

Love the cabinet with all your colored paper. I don't have anything close to any art room but currently turning an armour into a scrapbook workspace/storage area.

AWESOME! Some day, I dream of that much creative space. Right now I share my space with my home office.

Whoa, holy ribbon collection!

An upper lip collage....love it!!!

I think even I might be able to be creative in your art room. I'm sorely lacking in that area, otherwise! Love how you take in all the local young'ins and share the FUN! I did have to laugh at your "snow day" with no real snow.....up here in Buffalo, we got 32 inches in just December alone and not one snow day yet for our kids! They are about to protest if they don't get one soon. Our school schedules allow for five each winter and generally have used them all by the end of January. Since our snowfall continues through March and sometimes into April, we have a long way to go....
