Sometimes...why bother with toys...

when Arianna can find creative ways to entertain herself... Well, she still likes some toys (Balls, colors, pencils, littlest pet shop, little doll houses, etc).  But, I love when creativity strikes and she entertains herself for hours, even if I need to be holding the hanger for those hours...  Do you see her new love, the tape?

Who needs a spoon!

That is right, who needs a spoon when you can use a straw to drink your chocolate milk (from your cookie crisp cereal). She thought that was the best invention yet (at least for that moment :)  )

Arianna's latest drawings....

I know the first one is supposed to be a dragon.  She said "I just made a dragon!"

For these set I would call something like potato heads, she started to draw ears, eyes, nose, mouth, arms, legs, hands, hair, and sometimes eyebrows.

Another love that she has right now is painting with brushes... She loved to finger paint, but now that she knows brushes... well, she likes to paint daily.

 

I love that she loves crafty stuff :)

Goodies at the antique store!

I said in a previous post that I will put a picture of the finds that we got at this antique store that we like now...
In this picture, Mike found a nintendo game and since he has the console he was happy, plus it was very well priced -I think 2-3 dls.  I found some fat quarters, a one year transformer that will be for Mike's birthday.  Yes, he will be one again! Some scrapbook stickers and some old greeting cards...

In the second picture, an old Star Trk guide, some more scrapbook (frogs and crickets), a few Canada patches...

3.  A cute book about embroidery (mostly), some cute patches, lots of buttons at a super price :)!  Yeah, it was a good day.  Even Arianna found a pail with lots of shovels that she is using right now :)

WPP#31 - Nature alone...

has given me these peppers ( plus about 5 more) without me... I feel bad that this summer felt too tired to do any gardening and the weather certainly did not help in the matter, but I am hopeful that next year I will do lots of flowers... maybe an all dahlia fest or Sunflower fest?  Mmm.... so many idea :) Ok, plus some veggies too!
