Went with my husband to the “fancy” movie theater with recliners and real food. We are revamping our eating habits here at home to exclude icky processed stuff and fill our tummies with healthy grains, veggies, fruits and hopefully create some new staples! I will work on my papier mache angels and birds & dive into my new box of plaster strips and hopefully evolve into making some sculptures (maybe for holiday gifts???) I also picked up the new issue of “Artful Blogging” for some mega-inspiration! Thanks for inspiring us—
