the byu museum of art currently has a few exceptional exhibits, two of them you don’t want to miss! {it’s free!}
first, the walter wick “i spy” exhibit-
myla and bree loved searching for everything hidden in the artwork-
second, dan steinhilber’s artwork-
dan’s work is very abstract, we all loved his garbage-bag blow-up piece, and the duck sauces board, totally unique!

i needed to visit an art gallery for extra credit in my drawing class, so this week the activity day girls and I headed to the –
uvu woodbury art museum.
conveniently located near Nordstrom at University mall. If you have not been there, and you are interested… it has it’s own entrance, you walk in the doors, to the left, and go up the elevators to the second floor. {{{it’s free!}}}
I think the girls enjoyed it {i did!}, one of the artists work on display right now features paintings of fairtytales. But, only half of the gallery is currently open because the student showcase begins April 3rd and is in the process of being arranged and hung on the walls.
.....
affordable & so so easy!
these little “FELT” kits are currently at Roberts craft store for only
$3.99 each!
AND, if you use your 40% off coupon, imagine how inexpensive they are!!!
Myla & Bree had fun designing each of their own bags, but I do recommend using a hot glue gun to apply the felt, it’s not going to stay in place any other way…

they finished their needlepoints! the girls worked so diligently on this project, we spent 4 weeks/about 6 hours or more stitching…
My friend Lu did the cutest project with her kids, and we put the idea to use today…button bookmarks! The girls made at least 6 {or more} each. Then they boxed up some of them for their families for Christmas presents…
after our bookmarks they made rudolph the red-nosed {or green, blue, yellow} reindeer treats. This idea also comes from the ever-resourceful Family Fun magazine…
All you need is:
one Nutter Butter cookie
a pretzel for the horns
chocolate chip eyes
M&M nose
use white frosting to stick on the eyes &

my activity day girls {and KJ} made these little treats at the end of their activity today…

one whole oreo cookie for the back
one whopper for the head
3 candy corns for the tail feathers
1 candy corn for the beak
