Fitness Journal 4/5/12 - Tired...

Woke up super early today. I took the little one to daycare so mommy can get much needed alone time and Ava could get some time with other kids. Went to the gym at 8:30am. Went shopping there after. Then crafted a pillow bed for Ava. Amy did more modge podging. I think she is addicted. Now I am at home at 8pm and super duper tired. I am having a hard time functioning with my usual tasks of putting Ava to bed. Not to mention she is running around like a crazy maniac from a fun active day at daycare. I just need to crawl into bed asap.

Breakfast: Nothing... Lots of water.
Lunch: Half of a thin crust Hawaiian style pizza from Papa Johns. (Probably due to the fact I didn't eat breakfast.)
Dinner: Bean and cheese tostada. (Easy simple when your exhausted.)

A Modge Inspiration

So my friend Amy says "Let's have a craft day." To which I say "Yay!" We begin looking on pinterest for ideas and came out with a pretty awesome piece of artwork.

First we started with blank canvas. We made our own modge podge (FYI all it is one part Elmer's glue one part water). Cut lots of leaves from scrapbook paper and threw it all together. We both did it a little different.

(Our inspiration)

 I decided to change the colors up a bit. Teal background. Amy thought I should just leave the canvas like this that it looked just fine to hang :)

Purple and green leaves/petals.

Our homemade modge podge seemed to work perfectly on this project even though I have seen some comments saying otherwise. I guess its all in the technique. Remember half water half glue and to use a roller of some sort rather than a paint brush. Let dry after you apply your petals for about 20 minutes then apply another coat over all petals to hold them in place forever. I'll post pics of Amy's once she has them up on her blog.
