Just Playing...

...I had an inspiring conversation with my friend Penny (a cool artist) ...we were saying how important it was to play with materials experiment with them and not always to have to produce!! wow...isn't that liberating?

Then I was looking at Ali Edwards blog and she had set a challenge to choose one word which would be your word for the year?...I think mine is going to be PLAY...I feel like my scrapbooking has got in a rut and I want to try different things...

ooh! silence Lucia is asleep and all the others are out I think I need to go now...will try to post some pictures later. Now what can I do with paint......

what do you do with...lined paper, squared paper, masking tape, paint and stamps.....

Tear a shape put of the masking tape and brush paint over without adding water. Leave to dry and then peel away masking tape. I addes some pen and a lighter shade of paint. Go on have a play.

A word from the children:

The Dreadful Duo of Ewan and Lucia were up to mischief again today! They had found a bowl of chocolate sauce...taken it up to their bedroom and shared it aww how sweet!! I wiped the evidence away before I realised what had happened!!

Jamie came home with Daisy the class mascot and he and Phoebe played a loveley game of "dog races" which Daisy won first prize. Jamie was supposed to write in Daisy's Diary but after a few laboured lines he gave up!! The game was much more fun.
