Stumped

Well, my creative juices have taken a stroll this evening. I have 2 new seasonal decorations that I am going to hang on the wall with fake webbing over the top (they ended up WAY more colorful than I had envisioned, so the it's my easy version of muting the colors):



The catch is, I need 3. Someone is missing. And I don't quite know what to do for her . . .it can't be "girly" (which is too bad because a crown would be darn easy to add.) I thought about mummy, but that doesn't read in silhouette form too well. Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone?

She's an Artist

One of our favorite lines from Toy Story is when Woody is taken next door to Sid's house. A Barbie doll reassures Woody that everything will be OK because he is in the great hands of the little sister. "You'll like Amy, she's an artist!" Then shows her chopped hair and drawn-all-over face.

I am a sucker for kids art. I have plans to make a book for each kid of all their art pieces that I just can't fit on anymore walls. I am excited to have the time to do it in 2009.

But, as we think about finishing off the basement, I saw this product and loved it! How cool would it be to just let the kids go for it? Plus, think of all the fun to see the ever changing wall.


For a sample of an entire wall:

Here's a more "permanent" adult option. I don't think I can give up that much control:
