Some art Kaitlyn and I created 4 Arabella

I LOVE to create, play in clay, paint, mold, bake, design. I do it when I'm happy, sad, hurt, excited and have had a pretty extravigant amount of craft supplies. I just never seem to make friends with women that craft and I soooo hope one day I do. I found one interested in scrapbooking [waves at Michelle} and I cannot wait to one day meet and do that. All my friends kids LOVE to craft though so they have painted many things at my house.



I made this picture frame for Kate and my new Fashion studio. we molded the shapes with playdough, painted them and then glued them on this frame I painted.






A second frame I made for our new studio. This pic does not do this frame justice. I LOVE them both. Our rooom will be very collorful, which we LOVE color.




A painting for Arabella, that Kaitlyn drew and I painted. So we put our shared artist name on it which is "Moon Fire". Her own artist name is "Mystic Fire" and mine is "Moon Shine" [I got mine, 1. because I love the moon 2. a few years ago our horse fairier bring over som "Moon Shine" and lets just say "I made EVERYONE laugh there butts off all night long and so they named me "MoonShine" If I do art alone, I put that on, if she does art alone, she puts on "Mystic Fire" and if we do art together we put on "MoonFire" Just a little fun. Arabella is in the sky now, so we painted all sky art for her. I have ALWAYS also LOVED the sky.












This peice I did alone "MoonShine". I namde it "Heavens Transition" [Arabellas Heavenly Transition]. Silly and I am sooo not an artist but it was still fun to do.
















Kaitlyn drew this one and I painted it. It's a fun sun. "MoonFire"




















I drew and painted this one all on my own, and it was my second peice. First I did the sky and clouds, then this one. They are my first two paintings EVER. I've had these canvas for years and always wanted to try my hand at painting but sooo thought I would suck so I never tried, but when Arabella died, I thought it was time. I'd attempt peices for her. Not bad for first attemps. i also NEVER draw. I just paint boxes, scrapbook, paint clay ect, never paintings. Not too bad. They will sure brighten up our new room.







A bunch of little clay peices we molded, put holes in with needles to be able to string with home made clay beads, painted and glittered. We'll hang these all over our new room, on curtains, art, the ceiling fan pully ect. We also found a recipe to make beads out of newspaper, water and glue. We hope to boil up and make some of those someday soon.
well theres some of what we are busy with every day between homework. We did talk to Kaitlyn principle and we all decided instead of graduating in June, she'll take off now and start the new semester in January, so she can have time off to grieve and not have to do 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Then she'll graduate next January instead. She would also still have insurance for when she does get preggy, for atleast awhile. She'll be twenty in July and some people may think it's horrible because she is not graduated, but she was two years behind form her birth mom so why does it matter. People need to relax more and chill and stop worrying about silly stuff. I am also kind of fed up with talk from people because some of her friends {through my friends] daughters are a few or so years younger. When did age make such a HUGE difference??? think if your a teen, your all kind of in the same catagory. Mothers should actualy want their daughters to hang with Kaitlyn because she is a great influence. She doesn't smoke or do drugs like alot of the younger teens do these days. We raised our kids to play with all ages. Our home has always been the hang out because we dabble in art, and I hang out with me kids, barely spending time on the computer. I don't game and such like that. My children don't even want to EVER spend the night anywhere else, and never have. More parents should get off their computers and do fun stuff while at home with their kids. We also had foster children of many ages, so our kids played with all ages. "Whats wrong with that??" This has made me want to find more friends with kids my age. I swear I heard the age difference 3 times in one night, but then we don't call for everyones kids to come over, they beg to come over. Do I just start saying no, and also saying no when we go to places we ALWAYS take other peoples kid too. Thats sucks because If it's ALWAYS ok for me to take other kids along to Disneyworld, The ST.Louis Arch and ect then why isn't it ok, or why is it weird for my daughter to hang out with teens younger then her?? I don't get it and sometimes I feel like it's just ok if it's good for other peoples kids. I'm over it!!!! I don't get people and I think it has become time to just do stuff with my family for awhile, or my family and some taht arent ALWAYS making comments about age. Sisters and brothers are different ages but how many times have you hered someone else, or even yourself, say "Go play with your brother or sister?" Think about it. Why is that different? It's not. It also makes me sad to hear kids that hang out with Kaitlyn over all these 7 years I've had her, say they HATE it at home and never want to be there because all their moms do is watch TV or play on the computer. and funny, moms limit the time their kids spend on the computer but don't limit theirselfs. Kids should get to limit them. Get up, play a game, bake cookies, paint something, just hang out and talk about their dreams, ect.
Ok, so I got that off my chest which has been building and building with each time this age thing is mentioned.
Hubby bakes some delicouse home made loaf bread and it's calling me. Pluss my hot water is ran for a bubble bath. kaitlyn is almost done schooling for today. Yeah i forgot to finish that. Instead of having her have to do 6 hours a day for 5 days a week starting january, we decided just a couple days a week she would do 6 hours, that way in January she only has to do 3 days a week for 6 hours a day. She also should get a work release this tuesday so she can start her job at DQ. She was suppose to start before the baby was born, which I sooo told her she shouldn't, but you know teens, pluss she is a responsible teen and wants to pay for her horses feed and such herself. "Go kaitlyn!" I raised a wonderfully, responsible girl.
Ok, my water is gettng cold and I want to be out before Kaitlyn comes up so we can hang out. We where going to Dave and Busters today but the steelers where on , so we are going tomarow. YEAHHHHH, they have the best food.
