going around in circles...

going around in circles can be quite fun...

start in the center and...

add your favorite colors...

and work towards the outside
adding magazine and construction paper cut outs...

and blobs of paint,

and pen doodles,

and stamps of more paint

and then...

cut your beloved painting into 1/4s... 

and pass one piece of yours to the person on the left 

and so on and so on until....

you have a gorgeous new piece of art

with a touch of your creation

and 3/4s of your friends.

note: we then doodled with permanent marker

on used laminate and attached brads to adhere this 

to the top of our art

for a wonderful multi-layered look.

then we moved on to the another piece...

full of happy spring-time colors in the background...

and construction paper flowers...

jumping off the pages...

ready to enjoy springtime

(if it would ever arrive - first time ever we have not hit 60 degrees in April

and tonight the low will be 34 - a new record,

but who's counting?)

not these guys...
aren't they adorable?
