Instant Download Art & Coloring Books on Etsy

 The world is going digital and I'm seeing everything from Art to

Planners to Coloring Pages for the kids. (That would have been real handy when my kids were younger!) I've also seen activity sheets and placemats you can print for the kids to color on. 

  Then there's the Art work. In a word; Wow! They've got some amazingly beautiful art on Etsy that you can download and print from your own computer or they give you a file sized to send to a printer (Walgreens, Walmart, or any of those other quick print places) Print in 8.5" x 11" or larger - poster size. 

Some inspirational and some just plain funny. (and I love cats!)

  Now with Easter here these would be great to give as gifts or download some fun stuff for the kid's table. 

Although painting is my main passion. Working with some digital art is fun, too. Check out my new Etsy Shop here; Daydream Arts. I might eventually be getting my paintings up, too.

Bird Bath Cover Up

There was this ugly sewer tap in thing in our back yard. I hated it from the minute we moved in and thought long and hard on how to cover it up.

So, what does every back yard need besides a bird feeder to attract those cute little feathered beauties? 

A Bird Bath, of course! 

Hubby made this box from plywood. Just cut four equal pieces and nailed them together to fit around that sewer pipe.

Next; Bright blue spray paint. 

Then I took chalk and drew some flowers and birds and painted on some whimsy. 

After it was all done I used a spray sealer with UV protection so it would withstand the rain and sun. 

Once that was dry we glued on one of those bottoms to a flower pot. I think it was maybe $3 in Lowes. We used an all weather glue to hold up to the elements. 

Finished! Easy Peasy Bird Bath Cover Up!
