The girls and I spent a few hours being creative this morning. We painted a purse, a cupcake, and a covered butter dish at "Petroglyph Ceramic Lounge." Millie had received a gift certificate to Petroglyph for her 8th b-day, but had never used it -- until now. That's nearly two years of waiting!!! We invited Big Bro. along; however, he politely declined. We did see several men there painting pieces of pottery with their daughters, so M. would not have been the only guy present. :-) The finished products will be fresh from the kiln on Wed. night, so we will be eager to see how things turned out. We had soooo much fun -- we will definitely do this activity again. Hey, who knows? Perhaps M. will actually decide to go with us the next time we get in touch with our artsy side. :-)
