"Mom, will you help us with our school project?"

When I hear those words there is dread that wells up and I wonder what styrofoam object or cardboard Mission I am going to have to "assist" in assembling at the last minute.  Last week I heard those words when Micky had a friend over.  I heard Micky say "My mom has a whole room full of paint" and my tension eased up.  How hard could it be if it involved paints.  

They needed to paint a background on their presentation board and wanted it to look like the ocean.  This artistic mom flew into action and had them pulling all the shades of blue DecoArt paints I had (this is where working with an awesome paint company came in handy……

We mapped it out and with a little help we were painting the depths of the sea…

I have to admit this was fun for us all…

Great job girls……..and now the real work comes in of research and filling that board up with information……(so thankful I don't have to do that part)

I loved being part of the fun painting part!  Thanks DecoArt!

"Trying to be anyone else is a waste of the person you are.  Be yourself.  Embrace that individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else.  Be the person you know yourself to be – the best version of you – on your terms.  Above all, be true to YOU, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it."
