This week on #instagram we had fun making box heads-literally, Fathers Day treasures, working on a mural of the USA for my children’s alma mater elementary school, admiring a 5 year olds Natural collage and getting crafty at Sundays Senior Concerns’ Love Run.
I love capturing these little moments throughout the week to make a visual journal of some of our colorful moments in time. Read along @CreateStudio

Painted rocks are a favorite at our house. They are like a little sprinkle of summer fun throughout the year. The rocks themselves are little natural canvases waiting to be expressed so we always have them at the studio, they are a great go-to crafty crowd pleaser.
A group of teens came to the studio the other day. I could tell there was a particularly crafty couple in the mix. All the kids sat painting, and creating with materials reserved for older crowds when there at the crafty couple table little rock monsters were coming to life. In that moment I felt the lovely high school girl was a kid again, paining rocks as my family has. For a moment, this activity seemed to surpassed time to bring about a timelessness air to a present moment. Magic.

Belle had a short time to create on a visit with her Grandma. She knew just what she wanted to make so they got busy with a quick rendition of the much beloved Elsa’s Castle from the movie Frozen.
All it took was a box, some cardboard, a scrap of paper and paint to get their scene set, then for the final touch Belle added tule and glittery faux snow to help make the castle look really frozen.
It’s a treat to watch a childs idea come to life a little imagination and some loving help from Grandma.

A gang of girls came to the studio yesterday as part of a birthday adventure for Chloe. They found the Material of the week bin stocked with IKEA frames right away and got busy makin’ art!
It was a flurry of activity as the clock ticked to closing and feathers and glitter went flying. The girls had a blast and now, a memento from part of their excellent adventure with Chloe.
