Random

Today's post is filled with photos that I haven't shared in any earlier posts.  Nothing ties them together thematically; they are just a random assortment of images from my life!
I spotted this awesome art car on State Street in Media, Pennsylvania, one evening.  Its owner was selling his folk-art style artwork on the sidewalk nearby.  I haven't tried calling the phone number on his car; if you call him, let me know what you talk about!
I purchased this saint at a local flea market for 50 cents, and have informally declared him the Patron Saint of Studio 791.  He is draped in a floral necklace I found at Old Navy a few months back.  He holds pride of place next to my boxes of washi tape and postage stamps on top of my bookcase full of art and crafting books. 
Have you seen my cat, Stella?  I don't think I've shared too many photos of her, even though she has been in my life for fifteen years now.  Fifteen years!!  She has two or three favorite spots in the house, and pretty much doesn't budge from them.
My four-year-old Katy displays her first painting from preschool this year.
My three-year-old Bayla displays her first painting from preschool this year. 
My husband gets in on all of the creative action around here, staining a wooden jewelry box he is making for Katy.  He has another for Bayla, and has used wooden letter blocks to spell their names on the lids.  He is trying to develop his woodworking skills with these projects.
Finally, here I am cooking dinner while simultaneously reorganizing the cabinet that holds my spices.  When my husband came in and saw all those spice bottles on the counter, he thought it was pretty funny that I looked like I was throwing them all in the evening's recipe, so he grabbed the camera and took this pic.

Take some fun photos of your everyday life this weekend!

This is a really great idea for a post, btw. I have so many unorganized photos that have a bit of a story behind them. I love the photos of your girls. Too cute.

Also, I cook and organize at the same time. My fiance only starts to worry when I am jammin' and dancing because that means I have forgotten to stir something! lol

I haven't called that number yet! I have to wait for a time when I can sit for awhile and get into the guy's head.

I love that photo of you cooking dinner!

you really did use all the spices in that dinner, didn't you? It's okay. I've done it.
