Virtual Refrigerator-- Drawing Orca Whales

Thanks for stopping by and joining us again this week as we host another virtual refrigerator arts and crafts link up.


I managed to cajole my boys into trying out another art project this week.  After much debate we finally settled on drawing some Orca whales.

We used our Draw Write Now books to guide us in drawing our whales and then the boys set about coloring them using chalk and oil pastels.
You can see our completed whale pictures and read more about how we made them here.

Now without further ado I invite you to grab a "magnet" and link up your arts and crafts or how- to posts below and visit some other bloggers to see what they shared on their refrigerators.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

20 of My Pet Peeves

Image
 I try to keep it light and cheery and positive on my blog but the other day I hit send on a comment and noticed yet another typo... and I realized that drives me crazy! Then I started thinking of some of other weird and oddly specific things that drive me crazy and thought I'd share them. I hope you realize this is supposed to be more humorous and fun than griping but sometimes tone is hard to get across.    1. Finding a typo/grammar/spelling error after publishing a post or comment-- at least with a post I can go back in and correct but those comments are often just left out there and I always worry that someone will think I don't know I made that error! 2. Someone who clicks a pen over and over while thinking. .. the sad part I hate to admit is that I DO THIS! LOL.. but it only bothers me when it's someone else making the noise. Why is that?   3. Litter! I get why sometimes there is trash on the side of the road; like if you didn't know you had trash in the...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Mother's Day Weekend Recap

Image
 With my Share Our Lives post on Monday and Talking About it Tuesday on Tuesday, today is my first chance to share about my weekend. It ended up being a pretty great weekend.  Our Mother's day celebrations started early with us taking both our moms (and my step father) to dinner on Friday night. Friday afternoon Evan took my cell phone and worked on making a few updates, getting some old apps that weren't working going, and organizing the layout of everything for me as his mother's day gift (since he has no job). We made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants Bella's. It's a lovely little Italian restaurant where they make their food fresh and the owner is there to greet everyone and comes to check in with the different tables and make sure everything is delicious. It always is!  For whatever reason these photos uploaded backwards but I had a salad with house made dressing, the stuffed shrimp that came with potatoes and mixed vegetables and then ended the n...

Ageless style in Black and White

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Marsha picked black and white for our challenge. I often pair black and white together as I like this classic combination a lot.   I hardly ever wear my white blazer but I thought this would be the perfect time. I paired it with a very casual black shirt, my jeans, and some booties.
